Custom Lua Tag StUF

[slothington]

I don't know if it's possible to do with just the infotags that come with StUF, but what I want is for my HP/MP to have the current value without decimals. I've looked just about everywhere for info on this and couldn't find anything, so I figure I probably need a custom lua tag to do it. So, if anyone knows how to do it, I would be in your debt.

Thanks in advance.

function(unit, cache, textframe) 
return UnitPower("Player")
end

Should work for resources (Change the unitID to whatever one matches the frame it's in it doesn't have to be player).

function(unit, cache, textframe)
return UnitHealth("Player") 
end

For health, again change as needed.

If I misinterpreted what you want and you actually wanted a bit more formatting than that let me know but I think this should cover what you described.

Alternatively there is a number shortening section under global if you don't want to use the "K"/"M" syntax for anything (you can set a minimum number to shorten and syntax to do so) however changing it will affect any numbers in stuf not just mana/health.

[slothington]

Well, this is somewhat right :P

Originally it would be "160.0k" and now its "160000". What I actually wanted was it to be was "160k". Also, tried the number shortening, didn't seem to do anything :c

[Zulandia]

Okay. Do you want 'M' syntax too or just 1000k? What about small numbers? I'll write you something up once I hear back

[slothington]

Yea M and K are good. What do you mean by small numbers?

Yea M and K are good. What do you mean by small numbers?

Less than 1,000. If you're wanting numbers abbreviated as 160k, or 0.16m, a number such as 560 would be 0.00056m, which is rather absurd, and would be left as 560.

Most implementations simply do something like

if num > 1e6 then return ("%.2fm"):format(num/1e6)
elseif num > 1e3 then return ("%.2fk"):format(num/1e3)
else return ("%.2f"):format(num) end

so that may be what Zalundia is looking to do here as well.

edit to keep decimals, kind of forgot about them lol

[Zulandia]

Ya pretty much. If you drop the decimal and still use k/m syntax you get some weird looking cases when dealing with small numbers. Think about if you were levelling an alt; at very low levels it probably only has a few thousand health (let's call it 1000 for simplicity). That means the number on your unit frame will only ever read 1k or 0 which isn't very helpful for telling you what you actually have.

So basically what I was asking if there is some threshold that you would drop the k/m syntax as Xundir described.

[slothington]

Thats what I was thinking he was talking about, but that seemed a bit...too much lol. But yes, if its less than 1k, than just the whole number and if its a million or more than I would like the M.

[Zulandia]

Something like this should work for you then. Let me know if something doesn't work/not quite what you wanted still.
Resource:

function(unit, cache, textframe) 
power=tonumber(UnitPower("Player"))
if power>=1000000 then
return tostring(floor(power/1000000)) .. "M"
elseif power>=1000 then
return tostring(floor(power/1000)) .. "K"
else
return power
end
end

Health:

function(unit, cache, textframe) 
health=tonumber(UnitHealth("Player"))
if health>=1000000 then
return tostring(floor(health/1000000)) .. "M"
elseif health>=1000 then
return tostring(floor(health/1000)) .. "K"
else
return health
end
end

[slothington]

Works perfectly, Thanks a ton for your time and patience

[slothington]

Hey, sorry to revive this thread, but I just noticed this. The health doesn't update unless I switch targets. I guess I should've noticed something like this from the beginning, but I guess I was less focused on the actual hp on the things I was killing (lol). Any way of fixing this?
