In the previous tutorial, you have used "frac" variable in the status bar. For casting bar, the feature "Vars: Spell Info" provide a "timer_var" variable. This variable contains a auto update function base on time.

Add "Vars: Spell Info



Add Var: Player Cast Lag, this is used to provide all variables need about lag.

We are going to use a texture for our castbar. We need a lot of subframe with different level.
Add a subframe "sf_0" with level 0 (for our texture)



Add a subframe "sf_1" with level 1

Offset : 28, -39

This subframe will be used by castbar.



Add a subframe "sf_2" with level 2
width 195, height 12

This subframe will be used to show texts.
