[QUESTION] TC: GUI show bad value of Power - Energy

[Daweo]

Hi, Modcraft.

I have problem with changing my player power regeneration. I set the energy as main power and disable regeneration in config and core then too. Energy doesnt regenerate, but ingame the GUI still show regeneration.
For example I have only 10 energy, but GUI show regen up to maximum of 100. When You want to cast spell uses energy it will show you error text. I think, that this is coded somewhere in LUA, but I cant find it.
Is there somebody who has an experience with, please?

It is handled in FrameXMLAlternatePowerBar.lua

Thank You very much...

But,
this file only handles additional Mana bar. Not the power (previously Mana) bar, which is replaced with new power (Energy).



I tried to find something in FrameXML/PlayerFrame.lua but I am not good at Lua so much...

Hmm, in UnitFrame.lua:

Code: [Select]

function UnitFrameManaBar_OnUpdate(self)
if ( not self.disconnected and not self.lockValues ) then
local currValue = UnitPower(self.unit, self.powerType);
if ( currValue ~= self.currValue ) then
self:SetValue(currValue);
self.currValue = currValue;
TextStatusBar_UpdateTextString(self);
end
end
end

function UnitFrameManaBar_Update(statusbar, unit)
if ( not statusbar or statusbar.lockValues ) then
return;
end

if ( unit == statusbar.unit ) then
-- be sure to update the power type before grabbing the max power!
UnitFrameManaBar_UpdateType(statusbar);

local maxValue = UnitPowerMax(unit, statusbar.powerType);

statusbar:SetMinMaxValues(0, maxValue);

statusbar.disconnected = not UnitIsConnected(unit);
if ( statusbar.disconnected ) then
statusbar:SetValue(maxValue);
statusbar.currValue = maxValue;
if ( not statusbar.lockColor ) then
statusbar:SetStatusBarColor(0.5, 0.5, 0.5);
end
else
local currValue = UnitPower(unit, statusbar.powerType);
statusbar:SetValue(currValue);
statusbar.currValue = currValue;
end
end
TextStat

Try changing this. Pretty sure it is it.

Also while taking a peek I found this comment:

Code: [Select]

-- Mmmm, runic Power Bars, my favorite kind. Tastes like Death Knnigget.Really. Game devs make such lame jokes.

I have the same problem, have you find any solution so far, Daweo?
