@jtburke, not entirely sure what you're asking but if you're asking if you can create say multiple target frames, not yet. I hit a snag and things have been delayed a bit. Plus I've been busy with some other things lately. Sorry.

@Loom927, I just checked the code it works fine here. I believe you have a typo in your copy. Note that the case matters.

Update to the alpha on wowace or delete your group that you're having this problem with and remake it when you don't have a pet group selected.

This should do what you want (just replace the class code with this):

local dr,dg,db = DifficultyColor(unit)
local form = DruidForm(unit)
local classification = Classification(unit)
local race = SmartRace(unit)
if UnitIsPlayer(unit) or (not UnitIsFriend(unit,"player") and not IsPet(unit)) then
local cr,cg,cb = ClassColor(unit)
if form then
return "%s%s|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r %s%s|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r (%s)",classification or '',classification and ' ' or '',dr,dg,db,Level(unit),race or '',race and ' ',cr,cg,cb,Class(unit),form
else
return "%s%s|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r %s%s|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r",classification or '',classification and ' ' or '',dr,dg,db,Level(unit),race or '',race and ' ',cr,cg,cb,Class(unit) end
else
if form then
return "%s%s|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r (%s) %s",classification or '',classification and ' ' or '',dr,dg,db,Level(unit),form,race or ''
else
return "%s%s|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r %s",classification or '',classification and ' ' or '',dr,dg,db,Level(unit),race or ''
end
end

Hey Shefki, first of all, awesome job mate. You wrastled the mighty Pitbull into something more friendly and manageable. That said I've found a small issue: on the bar, under Lua text, with the class option, it is listed as "80 Warrior Tauren". There's no Lua text for race, only class, and I had a look through the text file, but I was unable to see if there was a way to swap those around, so that it would say "80 Tauren Warrior". Is it possible to do this at all?

You're using an old version, update to beta9 or newer.

Remove the space and the last 3 %s after the |r and then remove the comma just before Angle and everything that follows it.
So it'll look like so:

local r,g,b = ClassColor(unit)
return '|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r',r,g,b,Name(unit)

See this ticket and my comments on it for a workaround that should resolve your problem:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/tickets/406-right-aligned-text-strings-to-not-truncate/

Ultimately, this issue has to do with the limitations of the wow anchoring system and how we're using it. Fixing it would likely negatively impact far more people than leaving this quirk in.

Long names also exceed the bar borders, instead of shortening it with three dots or something. ( [Major Van Hi..] ) Maybe worth editing, doesn't look too good when names leak out.

Real ACE addon... Kind of amazed and impressed. There probably gonna be lot of things I will encounter that will need adjustment over the next few weeks. Already found one I couldn;t google.

Is there a way to remove the AFK timer that appears next to a players name? The code is currently set for Class coloured names: "local r,g,b = ClassColor(unit)
return '|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r %s%s%s',r,g,b,Name(unit),Angle(AFK(unit) or DND(unit))"

I tried removing the (unit)'s behind both AFK and DND but I get an error. Tried removing the whole AFK and DND also don;t work.

Any sugestions?

Thanks.

You can also shorten things yourself with:
string.sub(string, 1, n)

Where string is the text you want to clip, 1 is the first character you want, and n is the last character you want.

So say you wanted to shorten a name to 10 characters you could do:
string.sub(Name(unit),1,10)

Not at this time. There is an open ticket requesting this. http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/tickets/70-aura-debuffs-on-enemies-on-same-row-as-buffs/

For now, you probably want to configure the debuffs to be on one half of the side of the frame and the buffs to be on the other. So you might put the debuffs on the top left and the buffs on the top right and then set their width to be half of the width of the frame (or slightly less if you want to leave a gap).

Hi Shefki, thanks for the reply. I've tried implementing this but it just comes up with syntax error, is there anything i need to modify, or do for it to work? Apologies for being stupid, and thanks again for the help.

Has the ability to create secure singleton unit frames been added yet?

If so, could you please give me some information on how to create one.

In arena you're in a raid, if you want your party frames to show in arena, set them to show for 5 man raids. Go to groups, select your party group and select the 5 man raid checkbox under the Filtering tab.
