This may seem easy to most but it's one thing I'm actually struggling to understand. I am trying to set the font color of my addon with a function. I'm building a clock with addon menus using LibAddonMenu 2.0. I set my color in defaults. Here is what it looks like.
Lua Code:
local SV
local defaults = {
["clock"] = {
["offsetx"] = 0,
["offsety"] = 0,
["point"] = CENTER,
["relPoint"] = CENTER,
["CLOCK_FONT"] = ZoFontBookScroll,
["CLOCK_COLOR"] = {0, 1, 0, 1},
},
}
Then I call the function which I'm not sure what I need to put here for the LibAddonMenu 2.0.
Lua Code:
local function SetColor(_sColor)
TicTockclock:SetColor(I'm trying to connect this to my Color Picker in LibAddonMenu 2.0)
end
I try to save the variable. I've been told I'm not calling all 4 arguments. I'm not sure exactly what that means and if someone can really deeply explain I would appreciate this.
Lua Code:
if SV.clock.CLOCK_COLOR ~= {0, 1, 0, 1} then
TicTockclock:SetColor(SV.clock.CLOCK_COLOR)
end
Then I will have to call it into the LibAddonMenu 2.0 which from my font I thought I would need to call it like this.
Lua Code:
[4] = {
type = "colorpicker",
name = "TicTock Color",
tooltip = "You can pick the color of your TicTock.",
getFunc = function() return SV["CLOCK_COLOR"] end, --(alpha is optional)
setFunc = function(r,g,b,a) print(r, g, b, a) end, --(alpha is optional)
width = "half", --or "half" (optional)
},
Now if you need to see my entire code here is the lua and the xml I think my txt is just fine but I'll put that as well. If someone wants to use my code as a tutorial feel free to do so I don't mind my code being shared on this one, I'm still learning myself and it would be nice to see another great tutorial out there.

Also noticed that my font doesn't save. So if you reload the addon aka reload ui it sets back to the default font. I could use help there as well. As for the last part that I'm working on it the size and I just want to scale that with SetScale on the slider in LibAddonMenu 2.0. All help is welcome and thank you in advanced for all the help. Also please keep in mind I am new to code so please explain in as much detail as you can thank you again.
