thanks. now that it is detached from cowtip and not reliant on rock...
are you still using cowtip to position / color / etc your tooltips? do you plan on bringing some of those features to Tooltip - LuaTexts? or is there another addon that can do that well? tried ttw but...? thanks

the code for target contains "if not name"

local name = Name(unit .. "target")
if not name then
  return "NO TARGET"
else
  return "ELSE"
end

does not work... [not name] is never true... for myself or npcs standing around dal this check never returns no target? is it intended to be a check if mouseovertarget exists? is it broken (returns space instead of empty string?) or is there another way to check that? i am not 100% sure why unit .. "target" is used sometimes and "mouseovertarget" is used others?

or actually i guess you need to use strlen to check for empty string?

local name = Name(unit .. "target")
if strlen(name) == 0 then
  return ""
elseif UnitIsUnit("mouseovertarget", "mouseover") then
  return Colorize("> Self!", 255, 255, 255)
elseif UnitIsUnit("mouseovertarget", "player") then
  return Colorize("> You!", 255, 255, 0)
elseif UnitIsUnit("mouseovertarget", "pet") then
  return Colorize("> Pet!", 255, 255, 0)
elseif UnitIsUnit("mouseovertarget", "target") then
  return Colorize("> Same!", 0, 255, 0)
else
  return Colorize(name, SmartClassColor(unit .. "target"))
end

seems to work

Quote:

You can use "NameRealm" to show Name and server.

thanks! when i use NameRealm, the - after name shows for local people in group or raid sometimes even though there is no realm name

also noticed this:

Message: Interface\AddOns\CowTip_LuaText\LuaText.lua:4: Cannot find a library instance of "AceTimer-3.0".

but not being included in cowtip or cowtip_luatext?

switched to nolib anyway... i guess is better

thanks a lot for your help and all your great addons and code

NameFull shows server and title
Name shows neither
possible to show only server, not title?
thanks

local name = Name(unit .. "target")
if name and UnitIsUnit("mouseovertarget", "mouseover") then
  return Colorize("> Self!", 255, 255, 255)
elseif name and UnitIsUnit("mouseovertarget", "player") then
  return Colorize("> You!", 255, 255, 0)
elseif name and UnitIsUnit("mouseovertarget", "pet") then
  return Colorize("> Pet!", 255, 255, 0)
elseif name and UnitIsUnit("mouseovertarget", "target") then
  return Colorize("> Same!", 0, 255, 0)
elseif name then
  return Colorize(name, SmartClassColor(unit .. "target"))
else
  return ""
end

with no other addons (cowtip & luatext & libs) loaded i can quickly mouse over the player frame and half the time it shows '> Self!' and half the time it shows my name
or with pitbull player, target, targettarget shows rakka but targettargettarget shows self instead and all random
should i be using something other then mouseovertarget?

thanks a lot

EDIT: it's just a delay...? i can replicate it every time. when i first mouseover myself i get name for 1 second till something catches up and mouseovertarget = mouseover then >self! shows

thanks works great!

does anyone know how can i do this?

if UnitIsUnit('mouseovertarget', 'target') then
return '> Same Target!'
end

errors when i use 'mouseovertarget' wowwiki says its valid?

this is my old target text that i am trying to convert. i guess i have to use UnitIsUnit instead of IsUnit but what do i use instead of Target or 'mouseovertarget'?

[Alpha(0.5)][Outline][(if IsUnit(Target, 'mouseover') then 'Self!':White elseif IsUnit(Target, 'player') then 'You!':Yellow elseif IsUnit(Target, 'target') then 'Your Target!':Green elseif IsUnit(Target, 'pet') then 'Your Pet!':Yellow else Target:Name:HostileColor(unit=Target) end):Prepend('> ')]

thanks!
