XP Bar

A single bar showing your current level's progress, with the percentage drawn on it (%p, the progress token). The look was taken from ForeverAuras' own defaults rather than eyeballed off a screenshot: the bar is 660×34 with a teal-to-violet gradient over a dark plate.

The interesting part is how it gets its number. There are two ways to build this. The tidy one uses the built-in Experience status trigger — no custom code at all. The catch is that a status trigger only draws its aura while the trigger is active, so if that event never fires on this client the bar is invisible: no error, no failed state, nothing to see in the aura list. So this version computes the progress itself in a Trigger State Updater, reads the XP values directly, and sets show = true on every run — it cannot go invisible that way.

The XP reads are wrapped in pcall and checked with issecretvalue, because this client can hand back protected values from protected APIs. A bar showing a live health or power number is the case where that bites hardest — on Forever those values are secret in combat, which is why a widget-driven bar like this one is the only shape that survives a fight.
