Need a little help with adding color to pin text

SnowmanDK · 04/13/15, 07:10 AM

I could use a little help with adding color to pin texts.
My current uses an outdated system and looks like this:

Lua Code:

pinTag = {zo_strformat(savedVariables.pinTextcolorCodes.questgiverrgb..Name)}

savedVariables.pinTextcolorCodes.questgiverrgb = "|cffaa00"

The new format uses the ZO_ColorDef system, so now I am saving the pin color using this code:

Lua Code:

setFunc = function(r, g, b, a)
    savedVariables.pinTextureQuestsUndone.textcolor = {r, g, b, a}
end,

which saves the pin text color in this format (extracted from SavedVariables):

Code:

                    ["textcolor"] = 
                    {
                        [1] = 0.0431372561,
                        [2] = 0.6000000238,
                        [3] = 0,
                        [4] = 1,
                    },

but how do I implement that in my pin texts? I have tried to look at bot hthe API pages and even snooped in several addons, but none of them seem to give me the solution.

Lua Code:

color = ZO_ColorDef:New("AARRGGBB") -- hex
color = ZO_ColorDef:New("RRGGBB") -- hex
color = ZO_ColorDef:New(r, g, b)
color = ZO_ColorDef:New(r, g, b, a)
color = ZO_ColorDef:New(unpack({r, g, b, a})) -- <--- your table here
 
text = color:Colorize("Text")

You can look at Fisherman lines 624+
I used the string representation, but table should work too.

And line 837 for adding color to string.

Thanks for Destinations!

Do you want to stick with your current codes ("|cRRGGBB") or do you want to convert colors to tables?

Current color codes:

Lua Code:

--define local references to ZO_ColorDef objects at the start of the file:
local COLOR_QUEST_GIVER
 
--assign actual object in OnAddonLoaded, after you load saved variables:
COLOR_QUEST_GIVER = ZO_ColorDef:New(savedVariables.pinTextcolorCodes.questgiverrgb:gsub("^|c", ""))
 
--Settings menu looks like this:
{
    type = "colorpicker",
    name = GetString(PINTEXT_COLOR_SETTINGS_QUESTGIVER),
    tooltip = GetString(PINTEXT_COLOR_SETTINGS_QUESTGIVER_TT),
    getFunc = function() return COLOR_QUEST_GIVER:UnpackRGBA() end,
    setFunc = function(r, g, b, a)
        COLOR_QUEST_GIVER:SetRGBA(r, g, b, a)
        savedVariables.pinTextcolorCodes.questgiverrgb = "|c" .. COLOR_QUEST_GIVER:ToHex()
        LMP:RefreshPins(PINS_QUESTGIVER)
    end,
    default = ZO:ColorDef:New(defaults.pinTextcolorCodes.questgiverrgb:gsub("^|c", "")),
},

Tables:

Lua Code:

--define local references to ZO_ColorDef objects at the start of the file:
local COLOR_QUEST_GIVER
 
--assign actual object in OnAddonLoaded, after you load saved variables:
COLOR_QUEST_GIVER = ZO_ColorDef:New(unpack(savedVariables.pinTextcolorCodes.questgiverrgb))
 
--Settings menu looks like this:
{
    type = "colorpicker",
    name = GetString(PINTEXT_COLOR_SETTINGS_QUESTGIVER),
    tooltip = GetString(PINTEXT_COLOR_SETTINGS_QUESTGIVER_TT),
    getFunc = function() return COLOR_QUEST_GIVER:UnpackRGBA() end,
    setFunc = function(r, g, b, a)
        COLOR_QUEST_GIVER:SetRGBA(r, g, b, a)
        savedVariables.pinTextcolorCodes.questgiverrgb = {r, g, b, a}
        LMP:RefreshPins(PINS_QUESTGIVER)
    end,
    default = ZO_ColorDef:New(unpack(defaults.pinTextcolorCodes.questgiverrgb)),
},
 
--and your pinTag:
pinTag = {COLOR_QUEST_GIVER:Colorize(zo_strformat("<<1>>", Name))}
--I have no idea if you need zo_strformat to remove special characters in there, but I have added it just in case.

Those old ("|cRRGGBB") codes are out

I have done the following so far:
For the pins them self (This is already working as it should):

Lua Code:

QuestssubmenuControls:insert({ -- Undone Quest pin color
        type = "colorpicker",
        name = GetString(QUEST_SETTINGS_UNDONE_PIN_COLOR),
        tooltip = GetString(QUEST_SETTINGS_UNDONE_PIN_COLOR_TT),
        getFunc = function() return unpack(savedVariables.pinTextureQuestsUndone.tint) end,
        setFunc = function(r, g, b, a)
            savedVariables.pinTextureQuestsUndone.tint = {r, g, b, a}
            QuestsUndonePreview:SetColor(r, g, b, a)
            LMP:SetLayoutKey(PINS_QUESTS_UNDONE, "tint", ZO_ColorDef:New(r, g, b, a))
            LMP:RefreshPins(PINS_QUESTS_UNDONE)
        end,
        disabled = function() return not savedVariables.filters[PINS_QUESTS_UNDONE] end,
        default = {r = defaults.pinTextureQuestsUndone.tint[1], g = defaults.pinTextureQuestsUndone.tint[2], b = defaults.pinTextureQuestsUndone.tint[3], a = defaults.pinTextureQuestsUndone.tint[4]}
    })

I have done this in settings for pin text:

Lua Code:

QuestssubmenuControls:insert({ -- Undone Quest pin text color
        type = "colorpicker",
        name = GetString(QUEST_SETTINGS_UNDONE_PINTEXT_COLOR),
        tooltip = GetString(QUEST_SETTINGS_UNDONE_PINTEXT_COLOR_TT),
        getFunc = function() return unpack(savedVariables.pinTextureQuestsUndone.textcolor) end,
        setFunc = function(r, g, b, a)
            savedVariables.pinTextureQuestsUndone.textcolor = {r, g, b, a}
            LMP:RefreshPins(PINS_QUESTS_UNDONE)
        end,
        disabled = function() return not savedVariables.filters[PINS_QUESTS_UNDONE] end,
        default = {r = defaults.pinTextureQuestsUndone.textcolor[1], g = defaults.pinTextureQuestsUndone.textcolor[2], b = defaults.pinTextureQuestsUndone.textcolor[3], a = defaults.pinTextureQuestsUndone.textcolor[4]}
    })

but have problems implementing that into my pins.
OLD pin code is this:

Lua Code:

pinTag = {zo_strformat(savedVariables.pinTextcolorCodes.questdonergb..Name)}
            table.insert(pinTag, 2, zo_strformat(savedVariables.pinTextcolorCodes.questdonergb.."["..NPC.."]"))

I tried your pin code:

Lua Code:

pinTag = {savedVariables.pinTextureQuestsUndone.textcolor:Colorize(zo_strformat("<<1>>", Name))}

but it throws a "function expected instead of nil" error.

        LMP:RefreshPins(PINS_QUESTGIVER)

Well I ended up experimenting with a mix of yours and Garkin's solutions and finally came up with something that works

OLD code:

Lua Code:

pinTag = {zo_strformat(savedVariables.pinTextcolorCodes.questgiverrgb..Name)}

NEW code:

Lua Code:

pinTag = {ZO_ColorDef:New(unpack(savedVariables.pinTextureQuestsUndone.textcolor)):Colorize(zo_strformat("<<1>>", Name))}

Thanks to both of you for inspiration and guidance
