#Overshield and Absord on Health Bar

That is not possible by default, you'd need custom code.
For the "going left on full" absorb overlay I mean
Same for the health + absorb as a percentage of max health, but that's less work
It's fine, I'm starting the PC right now. I can make it in a bit
That would be insane 
actually, how do you want the directional behaviour?
that it only goes backwards when health is full, or that is goes backwards from the right edge as soon as the absorb is bigger than the deficit?
I want it to go backwards from the right edge as soon as the absorb is bigger than the deficit. Technically, I would want the white bar to be where the red box is if that makes sense
What a
Should I be concern about this tho ?
Oh mb, did not see the msg
I appreciate it mate, can I send you something somewhere for this
no thanks, I'm fine. I do it for fun.
if you feel like supporting something, consider doing the VIP thing for WA here on discord, or subscribing to the WA project patreon. after all the addon is the thing that makes all of this possible to begin with
Sounds good, thanks again for this man. That is really nice of you !
Yo, I do hav a question for you about this. Now that I played quite a bit with this, how hard would it be to make the bar 1/4 of my health bar when it overflow ?
Sure that's possible. But I won't be at the PC for quite some time. I'll update you when I get around to it.
You're the best
There;s also a rare case like this. Where I have 100%+ of my HP in shields lmao
Yo, did you have time to check it out ? 
I got time again now. did you mean one quarter just when you got more "overshield", or when the shield bar would exceed your health bar length?
if it's just about the shield exceeding the health bar, you can tick "clip overlays" in the display tab
Yo thanks for coming back to this. The 1/4 on height is the overshield only yeah
As for the exceeding part I did end up checking the clip overlays yeah
okay, but now I'm confused. what do you want then exactly if you're fine with "clip overlays"?
Maybe Im expressing myself poorly sorry. Let me reformulate then
The absorb bar part being 150% of my hp so it now overflow on the left is fine,
What I want really is when the absorb is more than my total hp, I want it a 1\4 of the height it’s currently is so I can still see the hp bar behind it. Like the addon Cell if youve used it before
ah height, I thought you wanted it 1/4 of the width in those cases
that can theoretically be done, but it'd be a bit hacky. if all you want is to see the underlying health bar, you can also just play around with the overlay texture (e.g. stripes instead of a solid colour) or its alpha setting in the display tab
would that not be fine as well?
Could work yeah but it will have the absorb where the missing hp is also 50% alpha no ?
I was also thinking of a different bar above my hp one just for shield that exceed my health pool and make the one that is in my actual hp bar clip and not overflow
But if this is getting to fancy or hacky, Ill slam a 50% alpha on it
you can make a condition for it
I exposed a couple of the things the aura is concerned about as custom vars:
(also, I updated the aura with a little code cleanup if you care. doesn't matter for performance though)
err, you'd want > 200 there I guess
Oh shit nice okay Ill try that out once Im back from work 👍
this is implemented for next release https://github.com/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/commit/b235f402e6d575ed0e722951b624416fcfea7a50
@slate spade ^
Ah, that's nice to see
Oh wicked
I saw it requested a couple times and encouraged one of the people to raise a feature request for it
Cool that it's in so quickly
For real, thats awesome
Just need to find the people and let em know when they can delete the aura now
will this cover temp max hp loss as well?
