Class Resources (Holy Power bla bla) With oUF.

[Shyzhi]

So.. i started making a new UI in WoW and iv always wanted to get into oUF as i just feel its alot nicer to get the things you want then with addons like stUF (Still an amazing addon) but i hit a wall, I started with the Zork simple frames and edited to how i like them. But now im not sure how id even define / start with the different classes resources. Been digging into other oUF layouts to see if there is anything there to help but it just confused me more as it seems people do it in loads of different ways :P

So was wondering if anyone could give me a jump in the right direction of how they got there different class holy power and burning embers and such. Thank you

I'd be glad to help you out, but do you have a more specific request?

This is my "Generate Holy Power" function. Feel free to use it as reference.

lib.genHoly = function(self)
	if select(2, UnitClass("player")) ~= "PALADIN" then return end

	local ClassIcons = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
	ClassIcons:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", self, "TOPLEFT", 0, 7)
	ClassIcons:SetSize(140, 20) -- 5 icons * 20 width + 4 spaces * 10 width
	
	for i = 1, 5 do
		local Icon = CreateFrame("StatusBar", nil, ClassIcons)
		Icon:SetSize(20, 20)
		Icon:SetStatusBarTexture(config.statusbar_texture)
		Icon:GetStatusBarTexture():SetHorizTile(false)

		Icon:SetBackdrop(backdrop)
		Icon:SetBackdropColor(0,0,0,1)

		-- Map the method oUF tries to call to one that actually exists:
		Icon.SetVertexColor = noop

		if i == 1 then
			Icon:SetPoint("LEFT", ClassIcons)
		else
			Icon:SetPoint("LEFT", ClassIcons[i-1], "RIGHT", 10, 0)
		end
		ClassIcons[i] = Icon
	end

    ClassIcons[1]:SetStatusBarColor(230/255, 175/255, 0)
    ClassIcons[2]:SetStatusBarColor(230/255, 175/255, 0)
    ClassIcons[3]:SetStatusBarColor(230/255, 175/255, 0)
    ClassIcons[4]:SetStatusBarColor(230/255, 175/255, 0)
    ClassIcons[5]:SetStatusBarColor(230/255, 175/255, 0)
	
	self.ClassIcons = ClassIcons
end

local noop = function() return end
