[Classic] Default Nameplate Status Text Addon

[Dekel]

Hello, I use this script on retail to display percentage health in the middle of the default nameplates. Is there a simple way to modify this to do the same on classic WoW?

hooksecurefunc("CompactUnitFrame_UpdateHealth", function(frame)

if not frame:IsForbidden() then
local healthPercentage = ceil((UnitHealth(frame.displayedUnit) / UnitHealthMax(frame.displayedUnit) * 100)) -- Calculating a percentage value for health.
if string.find(frame:GetName(), "CompactRaidFrame") then return end

if not frame.health then
frame.health = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, frame) -- Setting up health display frames.
frame.health:SetSize(170,16)
frame.health.text = frame.health.text or frame.health:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
frame.health.text:SetAllPoints(true)
frame.health:SetFrameStrata("HIGH")
frame.health:SetPoint("CENTER", frame.healthBar)
frame.health.text:SetVertexColor(1, 1, 1)
end

if InterfaceOptionsNamesPanelUnitNameplatesMakeLarger:GetValue() == "1" then -- If 'Larger Nameplates' option is enabled.
frame.health.text:SetFont("FONTS\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 8, "OUTLINE")
else
frame.health.text:SetFont("FONTS\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 6, "OUTLINE")
end

frame.health.text:SetText(healthPercentage .. "%") -- Update health numbers + percentages (player.)
frame.health.text:Show() -- Thanks Blizzard...

end
end)

What errors do you get when trying to use it in Classic?

That checkbox object for larger nameplates does not exist in classic. Take that part out and choose one of the SetFont lines to keep.

[Dekel]

I can't get it to work, I don't have much experience with lua so when I take the lines out you specified I assume I'm doing something wrong with formatting. Could you or someone else take it out and reply with the proper syntax?

[Kanegasi]

What you have (delete this whole section):

if InterfaceOptionsNamesPanelUnitNameplatesMakeLarger:GetValue() == "1" then -- If 'Larger Nameplates' option is enabled.
frame.health.text:SetFont("FONTS\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 8, "OUTLINE")
else
frame.health.text:SetFont("FONTS\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 6, "OUTLINE")
end

What it should be (choose one):

frame.health.text:SetFont("FONTS\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 8, "OUTLINE")

frame.health.text:SetFont("FONTS\\FRIZQT__.TTF", 6, "OUTLINE")

Thank you very much
