| I've been unable to see how to append info to the status bar.
When I use SetStatus it overrides the information there or is overridden by another plugin such as the tick timer.
As far as I can tell more than one plugin adds to it as there is different info on the line. I tried searching through the existing plugins without success. I'm unsure how to append my info to existing information displayed in the status bar.
Searched settings and threads and I checked the following but couldn't see what I was looking for http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/function.php
This is example syntax I use
SetStatus("Heals: " .. potVars.healnum .. " Manas: " .. potVars.mananum)

| I suppose you could get the current status first and include that in what you set.
But without doing a bunch of text wrangling to guarantee that you preserve old data without risking duplication*, you should probably just not expect content stability from the status bar.
* - e.g. if your status is
Quote:
STATUS!
and you want to add to that
Quote:
potato!
and you think that you can just do what I say in my first line, well...the first time you'll get
Quote:
STATUS! potato!
but then the next time you'll get
Quote:
STATUS! potato! potato!
and so on. |

| Hi Fiendish,
Yes, that wouldn't be very desirable and a lot of work where other neater methods exist, some of which I've already implemented.
Thanks

| | There is an "info bar" which you could use. Also you might just make a small miniwindow to show statuses. |

| Those are good possibilities. Working on mini windows is my next step.
I'll give the info bar a go. | | Top |
