should work pretty well

Works just like I wanted, except one small thing: It now shows "0" when people aren't missing any HP..
Is it possible to add something that will hide it if their HP is full?

This should do what you want, I think:

[Status or AFK or MissingHP:VeryShort:Hide(0):HPColor]

How do you get the colors for your dots? I am trying to make dots on my Pitbull raid frames similar to Grid. I want a blue dot if the player is low on mana, dark green dot if the player has regrowth, lighter green dot for rejuv, and lightest green dot for lifebloom. I only want my auras to work though. From what I've gathered, I need to use this code:

[if((HasAura("<MyDot>")) and (AuraDuration("<MyDot>"))) then
   "<MyDotIsActiveMessage>":<DotColor>
end]

for the auras right?

Also, how do you delete texts you don't want? Is it in the WTF file?

That should work, except DarkGreen is probably not a valid tag, but you get the idea. And no, no need to delete them from the WTF, just select them and un-check 'enable' in their options screen.

Pagarth · 04/24/08, 10:11 PM

I would like to delete them from even being shown to enable. I guess that is WTF. I couldn't find the options in Pitbull.

Whats the tag to check if a player has less than 20% mana for my grid idea?

I think you'll do something like:

[if PercentMP < 20 then ".":Color("00F5FF")
end]

Color chosen randomly from the Turquoise section of this list of colors. You can use whatever colors you want with the above Color("") tag, just find the one you like on that page (or any other valid Hex color code) and use the Hex number in the fourth column (minus the #).

Thank you guys for your help!

Covet · 04/25/08, 3:38 PM

I'm considering changing up my UFs again (joy!) and am thinking I want my Target's health to be displayed like this...

If the MaxHP is known (player, pet, boss, ???)
HP | MaxHP

If the MaxHP is unknown (enemy player, ???)
Percent (hide if full)

Is it possible to write a DogTag to show this? It's a bit beyond my realm of knowledge.

Edit: Went to the first page and found this (and here I thought I had read this thread so much it was almost memorized!):

[if IsPlayer then
    [HP:color("00ff00") (Status or (-MissingHP):Hide(0)):color("ff0000")]
else
    [PercentHP:Percent:color("00ff00") (Status or (-MissingHP):Hide(0)):color("ff0000")]
end]

But what I'm asking for, what differs from the DogTag above, is if it's a boss or something where the HP is known and not held exclusively to a player or pet.

Bridonna · 04/25/08, 5:34 PM

Anyone know how to make a new line inside a tag?

I'm trying to switch to vertical party/raid frames and I'm using dogtags to show Hots (the dots that have been discussed here a lot) but I'm trying to get them to go down the frame, not across.

Tinava · 04/25/08, 7:34 PM

I'm not great at trying to figure this stuff out, so I was hoping you guys might be able to help.

I'm in need of a DogTag for Pitbull's cast time on the cast bar. Before the revamp (aka, 3.0) there was a CastTime dogtag already embedded in Pitbull. However, the field now is empty.

Basically, I just want the time to tick down for how much time is left on a cast, whether its a channeled spell, a regular spell, or just opening an object. If there was a tag along the lines of "IsCasting" I think it would cover it, but as far as I can see, there isn't one.

So yes, help?

Elliae · 04/26/08, 2:28 AM

Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me with my Renew tags. I've been fiddling around, and I had it working earlier, but my computer decided to mess up my WTF folder so I had to start again.

I want it to show a green 'Renew' when the frame has my renew on it, and a red 'Renew' if the frame is down by at least 1500 hp and doesn't already have one ticking.

Here's what I have so far, but it will display the red text if the target is missing any hp at all. =/

[Outline][(if HasAura("Renew") then
    "Renew":Green
end) (if MissingHP > "1500" and not HasAura("Renew") then
    "Renew":Red
end)]

When you're typing the if statements, press return in between them, it puts them on different lines when you save it, and should stack them vertically if I recall correctly.

Pagarth · 04/26/08, 3:33 AM

Ok, two things I can't figure out. First, I want that . centered. Basically I want it to display the name then the dot at the center, not like a period. Secondly, I want only the dot to be outlined, not the entire name. Would I be better off making my own icon and then just using that as opposed to trying to figure those two things out? Also, this shows up on Warriors. I want it to only show up on mana users. Below is the code that I'm trying to work with:

[Name (AFK or DND)] [if PercentMP < 20 then
    ".":Color("00F5FF")
end]

Enzo · 04/26/08, 5:59 AM

hey all,

Trying to mimic some of the cowtip options here, but im missing one thing that i have gotten really used to so far.

In the default cowtip display whenever you mouse over a quest mob, it says the name and how many of them out of whatever, ie Ghostly figure 1/10 coloured etc.

Anyone know how i can add this as a dogtag line to the rest of my cowtip lines?

Many thanks,

Enzo

Sajukar · 04/26/08, 11:58 AM

Enzo:

I don't think that's a cowtip feature, correct me if I'm mistaken but I never noticed that in my tooltip. It's quite likely a quest watcher addon that's adding that information to the tooltip.

You could of course, find a way to hook said addon with the dogtag library, but I suspect it would be more work than it's worth.

Thanks for the tip. Had to finally update to dogtag 3.0 just for this feature *sigh*. Funny such a little thing would be the thing that made me update.

Fixed above. It's subtle, but parentheses are pretty important sometimes. You also don't need to put quotes around the numbers. I also compacted it into one tag, since the two situations are mutually exclusive.

From the wiki: [CastEndDuration].

Yes, I've tried that. Using the tag [CastEndDuration:FormatDuration] specifically. After casting, it continues to count. Not quite sure why, but there it is.

Thanks a ton. =] I have no idea why I couldn't remember that when I was remaking it.

Also, this shows up on Warriors. I want it to only show up on mana users. Below is the code that I'm trying to work with:

Your first two things are pretty much not possible, as far as I know. The period spacing is based on your font style. I managed to get mine to look okay by not putting any normal text with the period indicators, so I could change the font size and fiddling with placement a bit to get it to look right. For the outline tag, it seems that it affects the entire line, regardless of placement, so unless you want to split up your Name and mana indicator tags, I think you may be out of luck there as well. Going with an icon may be your best bet.

However, your last problem is quite easily solved: just add a check to see if the unit uses mana.

[Name (AFK or DND)] [if [isMana and PercentMP < 20] then
    ".":Color("00F5FF")
end]

Ele' · 04/28/08, 9:32 AM

First, a small question. I have a very basic tag used to display whenever I can use a mana potion without loosing mana (basically, it check if I'm missing more than 3k mana). I'd like it to be displayed only if my mana potions are *not* on cooldown. Do anyone know of a tag that could check for potions cooldown ? If not, do anyone know of the API function used to do that ? (I could still try to hack my own tag if needed...)

On a side note, here is the tag I use on Naj'entus, it may be of interest for some peoples.

[if (not Dead and ((Name(unit="target") = "High Warlord Naj'entus") or (Name(unit="targettarget") = "High Warlord Naj'entus") or (Name(unit="focus") = "High Warlord Naj'entus")) and HP < 8200) then
    "Low Life !":Red
end]

Basically, if you are a healer, you'll want to focus Naj before the fight. Else, the tag won't be displayed if you are targetting anothre healer (no "target chain" to Naj'entus).

Allev · 04/28/08, 8:55 PM

So, I can't figure a way to get the last word in a phrase, for my target frame. For instance, Get "Mauler" from "Shattered Sun Mauler". You can use Substring to do this for a fixed length, but I want it variable back to the space.
