    hi all,

    working on my own addon and ran into am dead end.

    so basically what i want. iv'e got my frame with texture. this texture should change if the target is elite, rare, normal, boss etc. but change should be done with SetTexCoord.

    so this is what i got with some help, but it does nothing at the moment.

     --- <| BACKGROUND |> -------------------------
 ----------------------------------------------
 Back = CreateFrame('Frame', nil, self)
     Back:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self)
     Back:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", self)
     Back:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND")

     local MyTargetBGTex = Back:CreateTexture()
           MyTargetBGTex:SetParent(Back)
           MyTargetBGTex:SetAllPoints(Back)
           MyTargetBGTex:SetTexture("Interface\\Addons\\zAoCTextures\\media\\unitframe_bgs.tga")
           MyTargetBGTex:SetTexCoord(0,0.5,0,0.5) -- (left,right,top,bottom)

 local function MyTargetBGTex_Update()
     local class = UnitClassification("target")
     if ( class == "worldboss" ) then 
           MyTargetBGTex:SetTexCoord(0.5,1,0.5,1)
     elseif ( class == "rareelite" or class == "elite" ) then
           MyTargetBGTex:SetTexCoord(0,0.5,0.5,1)
     elseif ( class == "rare" ) then
           MyTargetBGTex:SetTexCoord(0.5,1,0,0.5)
     else
           MyTargetBGTex:SetTexCoord(0,0.5,0,0.5)
     end
 end

 Back:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED", MyTargetBGTex_Update)
 Back:RegisterEvent("UNIT_CLASSIFICATION_CHANGED", MyTargetBGTex_Update)

    can someone please help me?

    greetings a programming newbie named vyntrox :)

    Which part of it isn't working? Have you tested the individual functionality by calling things directly? WowLua (the addon) can be a big help for doing this. I'd play with the individual bits and see if you can figure out what precisely isn't working.
