Stuf pattern tag help.

[Deleted]

As the title says, i am in need of some help here.
I got the text below from here a couple of months ago and what it does is that it shortens the name down, so Lunar Festival Herald becomes L.F.Herald but now i would like to change it to this "L.F.Herald | 100".
The "100" is the percent HP, i dont want the "%" sign tho.
So, is there any kind soul here that knows how to edit the current text to get "name-space-|-space-perhp"? I might add that it's going to be used for my pet.
Thanks in advance and here's the pattern tag that i currently have

local name = UnitName(unit) or unit
name = name:gsub('(%S+) ',function(t) return t:sub(1,1)..'.' end)
return name
end

You have to use two tags. One for the name and H justify it right. Second tag use "| [perhp]" and H justify that left. Then place them where you would like them. Should look how you want it.

Ah okay, thought i could have both in one but this works just as well, thanks!
And another question regarding stuf while im at it, can i in some way make buffs that are on me not being highlighted?
Can't seem to find any option for it:/

You can totally do it in one tag, by the way. This is just yours with the perchp added in:

local perchp = UnitHealth(unit) / UnitHealthMax(unit) * 100
local name = UnitName(unit) or unit
name = name:gsub('(%S+) ',function(t) return t:sub(1,1)..'.' end)
return "%s | %.0f",name,perchp
end

Sadly, I know of no way to do the buff highlighting you want in StUF.

Thanks mate but it doesn't seem to work =/

Stupidity on my part seems to have been the issue here - I forgot that | is a control code to WoW's text displays, and therefore to display it, I need to use two - just one and then leaving out the rest of a control code causes a silent error.

Try this one (tested and working while sitting around in Ironforge on my bankguild-alt)

function(unit, cache, textframe)
  local name = UnitName(unit) or unit
  name = name:gsub('(%S+) ',function(t) return t:sub(1,1)..'.' end)
  local perchp = 100 * UnitHealth(unit) / UnitHealthMax(unit)
  return "%s || %.0f%%",name,perchp
end

Awesome mate, thanks alot!

Just realized, you didn't want the "%" sign on the end. Just delete the last 2 "%" from the line that starts "return" so that it reads return "%s || %.0f",name,perchp

Thanks mate, a question tho, how do i do so boss names don't become Garaja... | 100?
There's also a "." behind the "|" in my text, so atm it looks like Garaja... |.100%.
Is there a way to make the name work like the one i posted above so that Fenq the accursed becomes F.T. Accursed | 100?
Saw that i missed a line in the code above so here's the real one ->

function(unit)
	local name = UnitName(unit) or unit
	name = name:gsub('(%S+) ',function(t) return t:sub(1,1)..'.' end)
	return name
end

Not really sure. Try making the text area wider in StUF?

And my last post included the parts you'd forgotten - I tested it in StUF on my end and just copy/pasted exactly what I had working.
