Why don't you read up before you post, it was made right over the post you commented on

And finally if you want to .. you can always replace "Hamstring" with "Curse of Boundless Agony" and it should work.

You can't see the duration of buffs/debuffs on other people/mobs unless you "own" the buff (without some sort of behind the scenes synching). I'm not sure why Blizzard doesn't just provide this information, but they don't.

Exactly what I thought but then I saw people posting dog tags for tracking the Kalecgos curse. I'm sure its only a matter of time before a altered decursive or grid plugin is released im sure they already exist internally already.

While its manageable to be honest i'm finding it outright annoying to have to check curse duration, portal side and then find the person on my UF.

Sorry i'm not trying to derail this thread into somthing else its not but for a second there it looked like the flexability of Dogtags 3 was going make 1 night of the week a little less annoying.

end]

Pseudo code for the above is:

[if HasAura("CC") then (Outline "*Crowd Control* " Gray AuraDuration("CC"):FormatDuration("s"):Paren) end]

Enjoy!

This was neat so I did a little modification of this using the spell icons for each spell instead of text (although I didn't keep the duration stuff but that would be easy enough for someone to add back in).

[if HasAura("Freezing Trap Effect") then
     "Interface/Icons/Spell_Frost_ChainsOfIce":Icon
     else
     if HasAura("Polymorph") then
     "Interface/Icons/Spell_Nature_Polymorph":Icon
     else
     if HasAura("Sap") then
     "Interface/Icons/Ability_Sap":Icon
     else
     if HasAura("Gouge") then
     "Interface/Icons/Ability_Gouge":Icon
     else
     if HasAura("Seduce") then
     "Interface/Icons/Spell_Shadow_MindSteal":Icon
     else
     if HasAura("Banish") then
     "Interface/Icons/Spell_Shadow_Cripple":Icon
     else
     if HasAura("Fear") then

A total number or perhaps a small dot for each? A dot for each would be a simple chain of if..then..end statements, ie:

(if (HasAura("Blessing of Kings") or HasAura("Greater Blessing of Kings")) then
    ".":Yellow
end) (if ....
etc
end)

Now I have another question, should be my last. Is there a way to tell the difference between the ISB and Shadow Weaving debuffs? They both have the same name, they both "stack" so NumAura() isn't useful and I'm not 100% sure of any other info I can pull about the debuff to maybe discern the difference between them. I'm also assuming I won't be the only shadowpriest so I can't check AuraDuration() and assume a debuff without a duration is ISB as the Shadow Weaving stack may not be started by me.

Any suggestions for this one? Even just somewhere to start looking would be a plus. I've been driving myself crazy working on this all day yesterday

Well I decided to go ahead and make a version 2.0 of my Hamstring dogtag

Added:
- It verifies if the target is an enemy before pasting "Hamstring"
- 1 more color, it goes from Green->Yellow->Orange->Red.
- 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
    elseif (AuraDuration("Hamstring", unit="target") < 11) and (AuraDuration("Hamstring", unit="target") >= 6) then
        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

With the previous version of Pitbull which uses DogTags 2, I had my character's name set to change colors whenever I entered combat (like X-perl does) using the CombatColor tag (which took the color from the "In Combat" color).

Now with the new version of Pitbull and the new dogtags, the CombatColor tag has become invalid.
Can anyone advise me on a new tag for DogTags 3 that does the same?

The only documentation I've been able to find is this list of tags. Looking there, I find no CombatColor, but you can probably do something with the InCombat one instead.

Example:

[if InCombat then
    Name:Red
else
    Name:ClassColor
end]

Thanks, that did the trick

Malan · 04/06/08, 11:40 AM

I apologize for what is probably a repetition but know that *somewhere* in the UI forum someone posted the dogtag method for shortening [Name] so that long target names would only appear to be X characters wide. I can't find it here and I can't locate it in the dogtag help file either. Anyone able to help me out?

Eucharion · 04/06/08, 11:57 AM

Malan, it's :Truncate(x) where x is the number of characters.

Malag · 04/06/08, 12:02 PM

Malan: [Name:Truncate(15, nil)] (DogTag 3.0)

nil is for removing the "..." which normally gets appended.

Could I ask people who post more advanced dogtags to actually check them for errors, and when/if errors get pointed out at a later time, please go back and fix them? It's not that I'm not capable of finding them myself, but often they've been corrected in later posts already.

And a question of my own: I'd like to shorten my hp deficit values to the format "-6.8k" rather than having it read "-6843", but :Short doesn't seem to do it on values below 10,000 and :VeryShort doesn't put decimals in at all. Which silly little thing am I missing here?

Btw Zerchi - Love the icons, definitly going to be using those.

Not really a solution, but here's a workaround for you:

-[(MissingHP > 999) ? "%.1f%s":Format(MissingHP / 1000, 'k') ! MissingHP]

Ah! Truncate! No wonder, I kept searching for Concatenate for some reason.
