Umm yeah ShortRace() doesn't exist. I haven't written it. I was interested in errors with Short(...)

Quote from Shefki

Yeah I probably need to give you ShortRace because there's really no good way to do that atm. Short() is for numbers btw. Does nothing to text. I'd be interested in the error messages you were getting. I should probably protect it from throwing errors if you're using wrong or at least throw an error saying that you're using it wrong.

Abbreviate was bugged until just a bit ago. I added it but didn't bother to test it and it wasn't working right. It's fixed now if you update to the latest version.

However, Abbreviate(SmartRace(unit)) is probably not what he wants because I'm pretty sure there's at least one creature with a space in the name. Maybe I'm wrong.

Incidentally, I think Abbreviate is a horrible name. It's more like Acronymize (not that is really a word).

[(Level (if Classification then
    '+'
end)):DifficultyColor] [ShortRace]

DogTag:AddTag("Unit", "ShortRace", {
    code = function(value, unit)
        return ShortRace_abbrev[value or UnitRace(unit)]
    end,
    arg = {
        'value', 'string;undef', '@undef',
        'unit', 'string;undef', 'player'
    },
    ret = "string;nil",
    doc = L["Return a shortened race of unit, or shorten a race"],
    example = ('[ShortRace] => %q; [%q:ShortRace] => %q; ["Hello":ShortRace] => ""'):format(L["Blood Elf_short"], L["Blood Elf"], L["Blood Elf_short"]),
    category = L["Abbreviations"]
})

local dr,dg,db = DifficultyColor(unit)
return "|cff%02x%02x%02x%s%s|r  %s",dr,dg,db,Level(unit),Classification(unit) and '+' or '',string.sub(SmartRace(unit),1,3) or ''

local afk,dnd,pvp = AFK(unit), DND(unit)
if UnitIsUnit(unit,"player") then
  pvp = IsPVPTimerRunning()
end
if afk then
  return "|cffff0000%s|r",afk
elseif dnd then
  return "|cffff0000%s|r",dnd
elseif pvp then
  UpdateIn(0.25)
  return "|cffff0000%s|r",math.floor (GetPVPTimer()/1000)
end

Really don't understand what you're asking here.



You probably need to remove the format tags from the string that it returns first. %s means a string %d means a signed integer.



To switch to a given color use:
|cffRRGGBB where RR, GG, BB is the hex value of the color you want from 0 to 255. When you want to turn off the color add |r in. This is the color escaping mechanism the game uses.

There are a couple utility functions to give you colors:
HostileColor()
ClassColor()
DifficultyColor()

Each returns 3 values that you can put into the RGB. To get the hex you use the format %02x in the format string.
