Im using a Multibar for tracking the health of raid members.

Topmost bar is health-current

Bar 1: heal-absorb, Prev. Bar & Reverse

Bar 2: shields-overflow, Prev. Bar & Reverse

Bar 3: shields, Topmost Bar

The problem im experiencing is that when health, shields overflow and shields are all present i would like some sort of clear indicator/delimiter where the health ends. Ideal solution would be something like blizzards original ui's shield-overflow. I understand that this is mostly an issue due to choice of colors etc.

I´ve tried different budget solutions but i feel like the best option is to just ask here. Perhaps an option to add status with just an arbitrary value that would somehow be interpreted as width/height depending on bar direction.

1. Create a square indicator aligned to the right.

2. In the new square indicator layout configuration tab check the "Rectangle" option.

3. Now you can adjust width and height separately to create a vertical rectangle.

4 In the Texture option Select "Grid2 GlowV" (you can use any texture but this is the default blizzard raid frames texture for the vertical glow effect).

5. Link the shields-overflow status to this new indicator.

6. You can adjust the color of the shield-overflow status, for example you can set a white color and the selected color will be used in the indicator.

7. Probably you want to select the highest frame level for the indicator (9) too, in this way the glow is painted on top of the other frame elements.

I edited the addon to create one. Replicating your step i could not reproduce the same thing.

Is that doable in the way you described or could your way only create a static line to the right etc?

I dont understand your setup, you said you want to display the overflow shields like in blizzard frames, and this is simply a glowing rectangle aligned to the right of the unit frame.

Sorry that was badly formulated on my part! I want the line that blizzard have on their ui ("Grid2 GlowV") anchored to my health bar so i can see current health easier when also shield overflow and shield is present.

(Solved it code wise so if you dont like the idea i respect that)
