oUF AuraWatch Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.5.2-7

by: Astromech [More]

This is an optional addon for oUF by haste. The latest version was verified to work with oUF 1.5.2. If you are updating from oUF_AuraWatch 1.3.28-6, please see the change log for API changes.

oUF AuraWatch adds the ability to watch specific auras on any unit of your choice. All you need to know is the spell ID!

Some uses include:

Grid style HoT indicators.
Crowd control warnings.
DoT timers.

All integrated within your unit frames.

By default, when an aura is applied to a unit, oUF_AW will display an icon letting you know it has been applied. When the aura expires, oUF_AW will display a faded icon, letting you know to reapply that aura. These affects can be customized in your layout. All icons are cleared when combat ends, so you can start each fight fresh. oUF_AuraWatch used the GUID of players and targets, making sure correct information is shown.

oUF_AW does not display numerical timers on its own. However, it does create a cooldown frame which, when paired with OmniCC by Tuller (or a similar addon), will create a countdown for you.

Additional options as well as an example on how to set up oUF_AW are located in oUF_AuraWatch.lua.

1.5.2-7
-Replaced the numerous frame options with a customIcons option, which gives control of frame creation to the user. This is not backwards compatible! If you previously used hideCount, hideCooldown, or custom textures, slight alterations to your layout will be needed.
-Added Override- and Post- ResetIcon and ExpireIcon fields, which allow the user to better control how frames look when these events occur.
-Updated to oUF version 1.5.2 element standard.

1.3.28-6
Added hideCount and hideCooldown options.
Added a strictMatching option, which will watch auras based on spell ids instead of spell names if true.
Improved documentation in oUF_AuraWatch.lua.
Use new embedding technique.
Slight code improvements.

1.3.14-5:
Added an anyUnit option, which, if true, will display an aura no matter what unit it is from.
Fixed an error in the icon creating code.

1.3.14-4:
Fixed some typos so that the addon works like the documentation says!

1.3.14-3:
Allowed the layout to specify showOnlyPresent and showOnlyMissing on a per aura basis if wanted.
Added a new fromUnits field which specifies which units an aura can originate from.

1.3.11-2:
Fixed global oUF referencing and embedding errors.

1.3.11-1:
Initial upload.

Tested it yesterday in a 25man with AddonManager to check the CPU and memory load. Everything was fine, no problems.

http://s.wowinterface.com/preview/pvw26394.jpg

Only problem I had were the Kel'Thuzad iceblock debuff icons. Since the cooldown spiral starts at full and by healthbar is kinda dark when full the icon was hard to spot. I am using my own icon.cd now with Reversed cooldown spiral so the icon is blank at start...maybe I am going to add a glow to it aswell.

Props. <3

Dawn A Molten Giant Forum posts: 887 File comments: 944 Uploads: 23	Is there any chance this could be developed into something that can also filter buffs/debuffs on duration? I like to differentiate between severa group of buffs. 1. one group of short buffs/debuffs with a duration <120sec for player 2. one group of short buffs/debuffs with a duration <120sec for target 3. one group of long buffs/debuffs with a duration >120sec for target The idea behind this is simple. It allows to keep track of important self/hostile buffs AND debuffs, in a consistent place. Or would this blow up the basic idea of this addon ? I hope not, since it's an nice and efficient way to filter a lot of things! Last edited by Dawn : 05-12-09 at 11:42 AM.

Dawn A Molten Giant Forum posts: 887 File comments: 944 Uploads: 23	It seems like AuraWatch doesn't like: Code: icons.showDebuffType = true It spits out an error, that it failed to assign a number to "icon" or something like that. I'm using this on my aura reskin function to color debuff borders by type. However, I worked around this by creating an identical function, just without that line and a slightly different function name.

Dawn A Molten Giant Forum posts: 887 File comments: 944 Uploads: 23	What would be the best way to set up AuraWatch for multiple classes. Let's say druid and priest? I tried: Code: if playerClass=="DRUID" then local spellIDs = { 2345, } elseif playerClass=="PRIEST" then local spellIDs = { 1234, } end ... which doesn't work because it starts spitting out an error.

05-24-09, 04:59 PM
Astromech A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 56 Uploads: 6	That first error is very strange! oUF_AW doesn't even look at the "showDebuffType" field. Could you post the complete error? As for setting it up for multiple classes, you're doing it right, except spellIDs must be declared local before the if-then block. Code: local spellIDs if playerClass=="DRUID" then spellIDs = { 2345, } elseif playerClass=="PRIEST" then spellIDs = { 1234, } end This is because lua considers any local variables enclosed within an if-then block to be local to that block. __________________ - Astromech Last edited by Astromech : 05-24-09 at 04:59 PM.

Dawn A Molten Giant Forum posts: 887 File comments: 944 Uploads: 23	Ah forgot to make it local, thanks. Concerning the error: "attempt to index local 'icons' (a number value)" in line: Code: icons.showDebuffType = true -- show debuff border type color Which is the first line of my original aura reskin function. Btw, since your on it, might you consider adding an option to make AuraWatch look at "showDebuffType". i.e. color the AuraWatch borders by type if set to true ? Edit: More questions! 1. Is it possible to get more rows than just one? 2. Is it possible to set up 2 different rows (different anchor, directions, position, .... different spellIDs) for the same unit?

This would be pretty easy to do. I'll add it to my TODO list.

1. Is it possible to get more rows than just one?
2. Is it possible to set up 2 different rows (different anchor, directions, position, .... different spellIDs) for the same unit?

Yes to both!
oUF_AW does not care about the position of the icons, so when you create them, you can position them wherever you want.

Dawn I post my function. This function is called for myclass == "DRUID" only.
Another class = different function.

Code:

  local function d3o2_createAuraWatch(self,unit)
    local auras = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self)
    auras:SetAllPoints(self.Health)
    local spellIDs = { 
      48440, --reju
      48443, --regrowth
      48450, --lifebloom
      53249, --wildgrowth
      27808, --kel iceblock
      32407, --strange aura
      28408, --kel sheep heroic
    }
    
    auras.presentAlpha = 1
    auras.missingAlpha = 0
    --auras.hideCooldown = true
    --auras.PostCreateIcon = d3o2_createAuraIcon
    auras.icons = {}
    
    for i, sid in pairs(spellIDs) do
      local icon = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, auras)
      icon.spellID = sid
		  local cd = CreateFrame("Cooldown", nil, icon)
		  cd:SetAllPoints(icon)
		  cd:SetReverse()
		  --cd:SetAlpha(0)
		  icon.cd = cd
      if i > 4 then
        icon.anyUnit = true
        icon:SetWidth(20)
        icon:SetHeight(20)
        icon:SetPoint("CENTER",0,0)
      else
        icon:SetWidth(10)
        icon:SetHeight(10)
        local tex = icon:CreateTexture(nil, "BACKGROUND")
        tex:SetAllPoints(icon)
        tex:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\oUF_D3OrbsRaid\\indicator")
        if i == 1 then
          icon:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT",0,0)
          tex:SetVertexColor(200/255,100/255,200/255)
        elseif i == 2 then
          icon:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",0,0)
          tex:SetVertexColor(50/255,200/255,50/255)
        elseif i == 3 then          
          icon:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT",0,0)
          tex:SetVertexColor(100/255,200/255,50/255)
          local count = icon:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY")
          count:SetFont(NAMEPLATE_FONT,10,"THINOUTLINE")
          count:SetPoint("CENTER", -6, 0)
          --count:SetAlpha(0)
          icon.count = count
        elseif i == 4 then
          icon:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",0,0)
          tex:SetVertexColor(200/255,100/255,0/255)
        end
        icon.icon = tex
      end  
      auras.icons[sid] = icon
    end
    self.AuraWatch = auras
  end

...

Code:

    if myclass == "DRUID" then
      d3o2_createAuraWatch(self,unit)
    end

Kaidroth A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 21 Uploads: 0	Everything is working fine except I can't make my dream come true ! I have currently my Rejuvenation/Lifebloom/etc. showing up and I want a missing buff feature (to refresh my MotW on the raid), by setting the auras.presentAlpha to 0 and the auras.missingAlpha to 1. But if I do so it's also the case for Rejuvenation & co. Is there a way to do it with "if bla bla bla then" ?

Astromech A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 56 Uploads: 6	My apologies for the late replies. berkz, I would recommend posting your question in the oUF section of the forums here. I'm not familiar with Caellian's layout. Kaidroth, you can set most of the options on a per-aura basis if you want. Just set onlyShowPresenton the aura icon instead of the aura table. auras.icons[1].onlyShowPresent = true instead of auras. onlyShowPresent = true for example. __________________ - Astromech Last edited by Astromech : 08-09-09 at 03:57 PM.

majellah A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 6 Uploads: 2	i think i broke it :'( I am trying to use oUF-Neav's raid layout for my priest, but I cannot for the life of me get AuraWatch to work. After switching the spellIDs to my priest's, nothing shows up. http://www.pastey.net/129894-bpad Do you think hiding the rest of Neav's layout and using Freeb's frames for my player/target frames would cause AW to poop out on me? P.S. The highlighted part is the correct number I should be putting into the code, right? Thank you~ -Kattyl
