kgpanel script to change a panels border color based on my targets class color

[bOOURNS]

As the title says, I'm looking for a kgpanel script that will change the panel border color to my targets class color. (npc reaction as well if i target a quest npc or others)

Everything I've found in my searches didn't work at all.

Thanks

Not tested, but give this a try

local Color = {r = 1, g = 1, b = 1};

if UnitExists("target") then
if ( UnitExists("pet") and UnitIsUnit("target", "pet") ) then
Color = {r = 1, g = 1, b = 1}
elseif UnitIsPlayer("target") then
local _, class = UnitClass("target");
Color = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[class];
else
if UnitIsEnemy("player", "target") then
Color = {r = 1, g = 0, b = 0}
elseif UnitCanAttack("player", UFD.unitname) then
Color = {r = 1, g = 1, b = 0}
else
Color = {r = 0, g = 1, b = 0}
end
end
end

self:SetBackdropBorderColor(Color.r, Color.g, Color.b, self.bg:GetAlpha())

I was able to kinda get this to work. I put it in the "onUpdate" not sure if it needs to be broken up into different sections.
shows class colors just fine but does not do the red or green based on reaction (colors them based on the last "class" i had targeted.

Creating multiple tables in OnUpdate? Are you trying to kill the poor guy's FPS? Use three locals instead. Please.

What and where should i be putting the scripts?

Probably should have mentioned this is something i found on wowinterface, i shared it because he said he did not find any info and i knew a similar post existed on that forum regarding this question so i shared it here.

If it's good or bad i don't know..

EDIT:

Not familiar with KGpanels, but im guessing you should add this onload self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED") and the rest onevent(not sure if you even need to check for the event), i'll let the experienced ones answer that

Im curious what UFD.unitname is, never seen that before.. but that's offtopic :P

Yeah, registering in OnLoad and putting the script in OnEvent sounds good.

local r,g,b
if UnitIsPlayer("target") then
    local c = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[(select(2,UnitClass("target")))]
    r,g,b = c.r, c.g, c.b
else
    r,g,b = UnitSelectionColor("target")
end
self:SetBackdropBorderColor(r,g,b,self.bg:GetAlpha())

Should also do what you want. Haven't tried it.
