Understanding How To Adjust Font Size?

Guides UI and Macro

I am surely missing something obvious. I want to display crit damage in a larger font than normal damage. Accordingly, I wrote the following code:

f.Text = f:CreateFontString("Bazooka")
if isCrit then
	f.Text:SetFont( "Interface\\Addons\\CleuLib\\Fonts\\Bazooka.ttf", 32 )
else
	f.Text:SetFont( "Interface\\Addons\\CleuLib\\Fonts\\Bazooka.ttf", 24 )
end

This doesn’t work and I would appreciate learning what I’m doing wrong.

Thanks, in advance,

if what isCrit?

A boolean variable that governs whether the font is to be larger than normal (32 instead of 24).

That would have to be reset the font/size every time your FontString text changes otherwise it will just remain the same font/size as when created.

ie. you don’t create a new FontString every time you want to change some text, you create it once and after that call its :SetText(…) to change the contents

f.Text = f:CreateFontString("Bazooka")
f.Text:SetFont( "Interface\\Addons\\CleuLib\\Fonts\\Bazooka.ttf", 24 )

-- ... some time later on ...

if isCrit then
    f.Text:SetFont( "Interface\\Addons\\CleuLib\\Fonts\\Bazooka.ttf", 32 )
else
    f.Text:SetFont( "Interface\\Addons\\CleuLib\\Fonts\\Bazooka.ttf", 24 )
end
f.Text:SetText("You can tell if this is a crit by how big the text is!")

Thank you.
