The DogTags 3.0 Thread - Page 7

revoemag · 04/15/08, 6:39 PM

I use:

[Name("targettarget"):ClassColor("targettarget")] [PercentHP("targettarget")]

to show:

Someshammy 89%

"PercentHP" can also be replaced with "HP" or any other HP modifiers.

Can someone refer to me a Reference wiki for Dog Tags or something? I am trying to learn how to use and make Dog Tags and I can't seem to find any reference material.

LibDogTag-3.0 - WowAce Wiki (from post #6)

Also there is a rather extensive in-game help system in place for DogTags that you can access from Pitbull/Cowtip/a few other Ace mods that implement DogTag. Or, type '/dog'.

Hiya

Im quite new to dogtag however I'm quite certain what I want to do, however I can't seem to make it work

I want my CurrentHP and MaxHP to be show in the following way:

MaxHP shown in green when 100% (CurrentHP hidden)
CurrentHP/MaxHP shown in green from 75%-99%
CurrentHP/MaxHP shown in yellow from 74%-40%
CurrentHP/MaxHP shown in red from 39%-1%

I have gotten the currentHP to work like a charm with the following code:

[((HP < MaxHP * 0.99) >= MaxHP * 0.75):Color("00ff00") ((HP < MaxHP * 0.75) >= MaxHP * 0.4):Color("FFD700") (HP < MaxHP * 0.4):Color("DC143C") "/":Color("00ff00") MaxHP:Color("00ff00")]

However I dont seem to have any option to get the MaxHP and the "/" to show up in the correct color... Is that even possible?

//Q

Scorch stack display:

[outline (if (Class(unit="player") = "Mage") and (TalentTree(unit="player") = "Fire") and HasAura("Fire Vulnerability") then
    NumAura("Fire Vulnerability"):Green
end)]

Display if a target is frozen:

[outline (if (Class(unit="player") = "Mage") and (TalentTree(unit="player") = "Frost") and (HasAura("Frostbite") or HasAura("Frost Nova") or HasAura("Freeze")) then
    "Frozen":Color("3333FF")
end)]

Colored dots to display buffs:

[outline (if HasAura("Arcane Intellect") or HasAura("Arcane Brilliance") then
    ".":Color("008aff")
end) (if HasAura("Power Word: Fortitude") or HasAura("Prayer of Fortitude") then
    ".":White
end) (if HasAura("Divine Spirit") or HasAura("Prayer of Spirit") then
    ".":Yellow
end) (if HasAura("Mark of the Wild") or HasAura("Gift of the Wild") then
    ".":Color("ff00ce")
end) (if HasAura("Shadow Protection") or HasAura("Prayer of Shadow Protection") then
    ".":Color("8300fd")
end)]

[outline (if HasAura("Well Fed") then
    ".":Color("682e00")
end) (if HasAura("Flask of Pure Death") or HasAura("Pure Death of Shattrath") then
    ".":Color("ad0505")
end)]

[outline (if HasAura("Blessing of Kings") or HasAura("Greater Blessing of Kings") then
    ".":Color("5b82ff")
end) (if HasAura("Blessing of Salvation") or HasAura("Greater Blessing of Salvation") then
    ".":Color("a2ff00")
end) (if HasAura("Blessing of Wisdom") or HasAura("Greater Blessing of Wisdom") then
    ".":Color("ac54ff")
end)]

I'm new to this board and new to using Pitbull and Dogtags. However, your examples above are exactly what I've been trying to create in pitbull. Would you mind posting how you created those and/or pointing me to a good tutorial for using pitbull.

Don't make it so complicated! Try this instead:

[HP:HPColor "/":Green][MaxHP:Green]

The "HPColor" tag will automatically change colors. If you want your "/" and MaxHP to display as a color other than green, then replace it with Color("000000").

I agree, this is much simpler than you're trying to make it, Quenty.

However, I think the below code might be a bit closer to what you've described:

[if isMaxHP then MaxHP:Green
else FractionalHP:HPColor
end]

FractionalHP will display as CurrHP/MaxHP, and HPColor will automatically scale from green to yellow to red as health decreases. The if statement makes it display only MaxHP if you're at max, rather than MaxHP/MaxHP.

Out of curiosity, that will change the color on both the current HP and MaxHP, right? It looked to me like he wanted to keep the "/MaxHP" unchanged, which is why I didn't offer a "FractionalHP" answer.

Emphasis mine. I could be reading it wrong, but looks like he wants the whole thing to change color to me. Not a big deal, both solutions should work. In case there's confusion, here's the difference (fear my spiffy color text~):

Covet's:
CurHP/MaxHP
CurHP/MaxHP
CurHP/MaxHP

Mine:
MaxHP <--where curhp = maxhp
CurHP/MaxHP
CurHP/MaxHP
CurHP/MaxHP

Sorry for the eye-rending colors, but hopefully they get the point across. Use whichever is what you want.

Has anyone done anything clever with DogTag's threat tags? I'm using StatBlocks and I'm interested in a block which shows my TPS against my current target. As far as I can tell, DogTags will do percentages of total threat and total threat but doesn't have any good way to calculate TPS.

- Icons and sized them according to the time left on Hamstring (Thanks to Zerchi for pointing out the icon feature of Dogtag)

[[if IsEnemy then
    (if AuraDuration("Hamstring", unit="target") >= 11 then
        Icon("Interface/Icons/Ability_Shockwave", size=20) AuraDuration("Hamstring"):Round:Green:Paren

        Icon("Interface/Icons/Ability_Shockwave", size=20) AuraDuration("Hamstring"):Round:Color("ffff00"):Paren
    elseif (AuraDuration("Hamstring", unit="target") < 6) and (AuraDuration("Hamstring", unit="target") >= 3) then
        Icon("Interface/Icons/Ability_Shockwave", size=20) AuraDuration("Hamstring"):Round:Color("ff8800"):Paren
    elseif (AuraDuration("Hamstring", unit="target") < 3) and (AuraDuration("Hamstring", unit="target") > 0) then
        Icon("Interface/Icons/Ability_Shockwave", size=30) AuraDuration("Hamstring"):Round:Red:Paren
    else
        "Hamstring":Red
    end)
end]]

To get the list of the icon to modify this code you'll have to go on this site: WoWWiki:Icons

I love this idea and got it to work for psychic scream although the number for some reason indents itself to another line below the icon. anyone know how to fix this?

I am using DaHUD, and it doesn't come with any preconfigured target info fields for the HUD. It gives you some minimal standard options, but nothing that comes close to the functionality of the original blizz frames.
Can someone post a dogtag code that i can paste in there that would give me some good target info? I want basically the same stuff that the blizz frame would provide - I.E. distinguishing between friend and enemy, player and pet, bosses and critters, etc. I would just like a format of something like this

<NAME> (Hostility colored) <GUILD>
<LVL> (difficulty colored) <Player Race, creature type, pet type, or whatever> <Class> (Class colored)

Thnx to any who can help.

[Name:HostileColor][Guild]
[Level:Difficultycolor][If IsPlayer then Race else Creaturetype]

Thats the easyest way I reckon.

You could also try:

[Name:HostileColor][Guild:Angle]
[Level:DifficultyColor][Classification:DifficultyColor][SmartRace][Class:ClassColor]

Adding Classification will return whether it's a Boss or Elite. Changing to SmartRace will automatically return the race if it's a player or the creature type if it's not.

Both codes will work, they just return slightly different info.

I'm reasonably sure that there is no way in the API to determine what's targeting you without a potential 'chain' to them. Aka, if your party member is targeting someone who's targeting someone who's targeting you, you can know about it, but you can't be sure that another person that someone is not targeting is or is not targeting you.

Any sort of simulated version of this merely tracks what raid members are targeting and their targets.

It's quite possible this has changed since I last seriously looked into it, but I asked around quite a bit back then and got 'not supported, no desire to support it' as the general consensus.

Covet · 04/20/08, 2:10 AM

In honor of Trouble's little buff dots, I made a similar DogTag that shows if you have cleansable debuffs. Basically it'll put a red X if you have UA and will color every other cleansable debuff by the spell color.

[(if HasAura("Unstable Affliction") then
    "X":Red
end) (if HasCurseDebuff then
    " -":Fuchsia
end) (if HasMagicDebuff then
    " -":Blue
end) (if HasPoisonDebuff then
    " -":Green
end) (if HasDiseaseDebuff then
    " -":Yellow
end)]

I also used the code from Caith's unit frames to show the MP for my target, but it changes color depending on the MP they have. Blue for mana, Red for rage and Yellow for energy. The only bummer is that it's blank if they have no MP, but I'm willing to live with it.

[HasMP and IsMana ? MP:Short:PowerColor " | " MaxMP:Hide(0):Short:Color('385d71') ! HasMP and IsEnergy ? MP:Short:PowerColor " | " MaxMP:Hide(0):Short:Color('999933') ! HasMP and IsRage ? MP:Short:PowerColor " | " MaxMP:Hide(0):Short:Color('663333')]

I'm just now starting to mess with DogTags and could use a bit of help. I tried to look this up in the in-game dogtag help but the only hit didn't really help me out...

Basically, I'm doing a greyscale unit frame color scheme in this version of my UI. I want to color player names by class (which I believe is easy enough to do) and NPC names by their reaction (i.e. friendly, neutral, hostile). However... I'm not sure how to color by reaction. I have set custom colors in pitbull but I don't know if there's a way to call on them.

[edit] Oops, right after submitting this reply I had a friend whisper me the correct code. Now I have a slightly different request...

Can someone supply the code I would use to color the name based on player class if it is a player and on NPC reaction if it's anything other than a player (mob, NPC, pet, etc)?

Eucharion · 04/21/08, 6:13 AM

[if IsPlayer then Name:ClassColor else Name:HostileColor end]

Should get you going in the right direction, although I'm not in game to test it.

Zedd · 04/21/08, 8:18 AM

I cant seem to get this right:
I want a dogtag to:
Show level in classcolor when its a friendly/neutral target under level 70
Show level in Difficultycolor when its a enemy target
Display Pet levels in hostilitycolor
Dont show level for friendly/neutral level 70 players

[if IsPet then Level:HostileColor elseif (IsEnemy then Level:DifficultyColor else Level:Hide("70"):ClassColor)]

can't test it ingame atm but this should do the trick :D

Eucharion · 04/21/08, 11:58 AM

Try this:

[if IsPet then Level:HostileColor else [if IsMaxLevel and IsFriend then " " else [if ~IsMaxLevel and IsFriend then Level:ClassColor else Level:Hide("70"):DifficultyColor end]]]

It seems to work, will show level 70 pets in the appropriate hostility colour, you will just need to test it against enemies (as I was sat working it out in Stormwind).

[e] oops, that will hide the number for max level enemies. Might want to try tagging in a ~IsEnemy in the end bit, like so....
