TargetBlock

Version: 1.6

by: mikma [More]

* WOTLK UPDATE! *
The frame now has a name 'TargetBlockFrame' !
You can now use it in a macro, in example tagging mobs in those stupid overcrowded places:

Macro:

Code:

/click TargetBlockFrame
/cast Moonfire

Adds a block on your screen which you can use to target players, pets, mobs, totems...

Uses a macro '/targetexact (name you pick)', so it should always find the correct person to target if he's in range. If not, your target will not be changed.

Has a toggleable 'Revenge' feature, which automatically adds the person/pet/totem that killed you to TargetBlock.
Revenge disabled in the Battlegrounds.

There is also a keybind to Hide/Show the block.

Usage:
- Rightclick to set target
- Shift+Rightclick to clear target
- Ctrl+Rightclick to set custom target
- Leftclick to target
- Shift+Leftclick to toggle lock
- Ctrl+Leftclick to toggle revenge (revenge disabled in BG)

Example A:
- You get killed in contested territory by player called 'James'. Addon will enter his name in the block. Later you click the block with leftclick, it will try to target 'James'.

Example B: (as shown in the pictures)
- You are doing a quest with stealthed mobs. Shift+Rightclick the block to get a popup where you type 'Fen Creeper'. Now when you are walking around Wetlands, and hear a stealth-sound, you leftclick the block and Fen Creeper is being targeted (If it was Fen Creeper to make the stealth-sound..).

1.6:
- The frame has now a name 'TargetBlockFrame'
- .toc changed for WOTLK

1.5:
- Renamed the SavedVariable from TargetBlockDB to TBDB. This is to reset your position because of my mistake in default positioning (Docked to TargetFrame. People not using default Unitframes had a problem here)
- TargetBlock will now be positioned in middle of screen if you don't have position saved
- Insets of TargetBlock changed, there was a small gap between backdrop and border

1.4:
- Data of Revenge (not the current target) gets cleared now everytime you enter combat. This is to eliminate the cases where TargetBlock tells you someone who did damage to you long time ago killed you in a fight where he didn't harm you.
- Globals removed (thanks Cladhaire)

1.3:
- I noticed that there might be a bug with the revenge, so I recoded it to add your killer into the block after your regeneration is enabled.

1.2:
- Added BG check for all arenas

1.1:
- Disabled targetchange in combat. This is not allowed by Blizzard
- Recoded the targeting code, now it works the way it should have from the beginning
- Changes some clicks
- Added better positioning code

1.0:
- Release

No, it's not abandoned. No-one has reported it before you as being broken so I assumed it works :P

Hmmm, Well I'll be. I always took "toggle" to mean use. As in triggering the /click TargetBlockFrame command.

/whistle

Carry on, nothing to see here.

In any case, not necessarily a bug per se. But when using the key binding the target block toggles between being visible and not. Just fyi.

What makes this addon more useful compared to TAB-target selecting?

That's one heck of a name there...............

Anyways, to answer your question. If you'd bothered to read the description...

Uses a macro '/targetexact (name you pick)', so it should always find the correct person to target if he's in range. If not, your target will not be changed.

So, yeah. Tab targeting doesn't do that. kkthx

Just downloaded your mod to try it out. Your frame appears in the center of my screen unlike what is shown in your screenshot. I cannot figure out how to move it. Left click to drag, right click to drag, alt-click, shift-click, control-click, nothing works to move it. Your instructions do not say how to move it.

I suggest having a more obvious way of moving it and documenting how to move it.

1. - this page:

Usage:
- Rightclick to set target
- Shift+Rightclick to clear target
- Ctrl+Rightclick to set custom target
- Leftclick to target
- Shift+Leftclick to toggle lock
- Ctrl+Leftclick to toggle revenge (revenge disabled in BG)

2. - tooltip when mouseovering:

- Rightclick to set target
- Shift+Rightclick to clear target
- Ctrl+Rightclick to set custom target
------------------------------------------------------------------
- Leftclick to target
- Shift+Leftclick to toggle lock
- Ctrl+Leftclick to toggle revenge (revenge disabled in BG)

EDIT:
Oh, after this just leftclick down and drag it where you want ^^

I can add a slashcommand for permanent toggle. 2) Slashcommand for changing target: - Didn't even think that people would want to type stuff in ChatEditBox. I'll add it. 3) Targetlist - This is a good one actually, but that requires a great amount of info about bosses and targets to work. I can't get all of them by myself since I don't raid that much the highend instances. 4) keybind for targeting - How could I miss this one! O_o Yeah, I'll try to find out a nice way to do it. You two did give quite interesting ideas. Thanks Please notice that actually developing these may take a while or another, I'm currently leveling a new char and try to keep my addons bug-free between playsessions

Right, my bad. You propably are using some 3rd party Unitframes and this one docks ontop of TargetFrame. I'll fix that and post a new version online.

Excellent ! Many thanks for the update. I can give it a try-out now

First impression is that the tooltip is, while important and informational, gonna get in the way. Can it be optional ? i.e. /targetblock toggletooltip

Thanks in advance.

EDIT : Oh, being able to /targetblock character

...where "character" is a specific character / vendor, etc would also be very cool.

BeKay A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 21 Uploads: 0	Would like 2 additional options To make this addon truly awesome. 1) Add a list to which a user can add pre-defined targets and select the current active target from the list. Useful for adding encounter specific targets, eg. Demon Chains @ Illhoof, Spitfire Totem @ Fathom-Lord Karathress, Toxic Spore Bat @ Vashj, Corrupted Lightning Totem @ Halazzi, and so on and so on. 2) Might have been an oversight in the addon description, but a keybinding for activating the actual targeting...
