LifeTapper

Version: 0.99c

by: temu92 [More]

Do you find yourself always forgetting to use Life Tap to be able to maintain Glyph of Life Tap buff? Not any longer as LifeTapper is here! It warns you when your buff is fading out or is not active at all.

LifeTapper can use Blizzard Combat Text, SCT, MikSBT or Parrot as optional output for warning. Though none of them is not required, it makes warning easier to detect. LifeTapper has automatical detection for every supported combat text addon. If none of them is enabled, chat output will be automatically toggled on.

Addon warns only when you're unmounted and in combat!

P.S. Before you say addon doesn't show combat text addons in /lt battletext which are claimed to be supported, please note it only shows addons which you have enabled!

Commands
You may use /lt or /lifetapper to view usage instructions ingame. Following commands exist:
/lt toggle - Toggles whether addon is enabled
/lt chat - Toggles chat output for warnings
/lt sound - Toggles sound effect (default: on)
/lt raid - Toggles whether addon is only enabled when in raid (default: off)
/lt trivial - Toggles whether addon is only enabled when target is not trivial (grey level) (default: on)

/lt battletext - Shows usage for combat text addon changing
/lt battletext none - Disables combat text addon output
/lt battletext blizzard - Enables World of Warcraft's default combat text output. Active only when combat text is enabled in Interface menu
/lt battletext sct - Enables optional SCT output
/lt battletext msbt - Enables optional MikSBT output
/lt battletext parrot - Enables optional Parrot output

Changes

Version 0.99b

Fixed buffchecking bug.

Version 0.99

Added support for 3.2's increased buff duration.
Polished buff checking, now it should be truly localization independant.

Version 0.98

Now buffchecking is localization independent!
Added support for Blizzard Floating Combat Text and Parrot!
Fixed bug which caused addon to disable itself when entering instance
Improved trivial mode checking
Automatical detection for every supported combat text addon. If none of them is enabled, chat output will be automatically toggled on

Automatical detection when dual spec is changed (it may not work yet, haven't been tested)

Have fun!

I'm using the most recent edition, and while I can change the settings, I can't seem to get it to output into the chat window or SCT. Is there something specific I need to make sure I have enabled in SCT for it to work?

Is there a reason for this ?

It works fine for me. Tell what exactly does not happen? Note the warning is only shown when you are in combat and off mount. Try also updating your version to the newest if you aren't completely sure of which you have.

Yeh, that's because the buff duration was increased to 40 seconds instead from 20 seconds and this addon uses (or used) duration in buff checking. I now updated this addon to be working with 3.2 though it's still on "pending" status here. It'll be soon up, after WoWInterface's moderators check it.

thank you )

very usefull addon =)
just 1 question: is it possible to change the buff check routine to use spell-id (buff-id), not the name?
i've tried to change the lua file and to write the buff name in my language and it worked, but it is a quick fix
(marked red in the code)

Code:

................. function LifeTapper_CheckBuff() -- Let's check if Life Tap buff is present and if it's, fetch its duration if (LifeTapON == 0 or LTMute == 1) then return; end local inCombat = UnitAffectingCombat("player"); local inRaid = UnitInRaid("player"); if (LTRaid == 1 and inRaid == nil) then return; end if (LTGrey == 1 and LTTargetTrivial == 1) then return; end local found = 0; for i = 1,40 do local n, _, icon, _, _, dur, x, _, _ = UnitBuff("player", i); if (n == "Life Tap") then ...............

and another issue.
the glyph check function sometimes does not detect the glyph after entering the raid instance (from graveyard after a wipe).
but if i do talent switch - it does. so i switch talents to secondary spec and back to primary almost every wipe.

I'll do it.

I don't even have idea how much there is these combat bar mods. I'll take look at that too
