i am not trying to be rude but if you dont believe me or dont understand me i can try to explain better?

or its intentional that we cant have two data on one line? or put data on left instead of label?

thank you

1. default texts and settings
2. copy target:right to line1:right beside name
3. change [return NONE] to [return ''] in target text line 2
    note that whole line including name disappear when mouseover has no target
4. turn 'Always show texts' on
    note that the Status line shows. even with empty status text. <status:empty> this is ok
    note that the Zone line shows. even with empty zone text. <zone:empty> this is ok
    note that the Talent line shows. even with double empty text. <empty:empty> this is not ok

to test it you can create two more double empty lines by removing the other two default labels status:left and zone:left, now there are 3 empty lines of text at the bottom of the tooltip (when not afk etc)

an easy fix would be to always never show double empty
please and thank you
cowtip is the best

in v0.5-beta-1-g594bb60 there is an option to "always show texts"

i turned it on because my empty target (moved beside name and changed 'NONE' to empty quotes) caused the name to disapear when there was no target

once this feature is enabled though it seems to show even lines that have no right or left text? because now i have all these extra lines on bottom where i put location and afk etc

maybe possible to make the check behave like "show text on left, *if it exists*, even if no text on right? or even make that the default? like it is (?) for dogtag texts?

thanks a lot

testing this with default LuaTexts from Pitbull4, it doesn't work at all.

If I add any custom text at all, my tooltip shows only player name and ignores all other lines, regardless of wether I changed the code for that line or not. (e.g i change the code for Target in line 3, the Guild info in line 2 disappears)

Do your additional helper functions (e.g. TalentSpec()) work in pb4? or are they CowTip only?

Hi.

Umm how do I include stuff like "Rare"...or "Elite" and etc? I did try reading the help files, but I couldn't find syntax for err...wtv "Rare" and etc are belonging to.

Hello, could you share your luatext for the tooltip in the screenshot? In particular, I want to know how you got it to show the talent line (as pictured: Affliction 52/0/15). I want to switch my CowTip from libdogtag to luatext but I really like the ability to show the talents, and I don't see how to do that with luatext. tyvm!

Wow, I should have just downloaded and looked at your source--I see you added some methods (TalentSpec(), TalentSpecName() and TalentSpecIcon()) to handle the talents. Awesome! I'd still like to see your whole luatext however, if you get a chance. ty again.

Been getting the following error:

1x CowTip_LuaText-v0.4.1-beta\LuaText.lua:86: bad argument #3 to 'format' (string expected, got nil)

working like charm for me atm. highly customizable and what i can see only take 1.5mb of memory. good work. thank you :)

It only happens when in raids I think.

Just wanted to report it
