FocusFrame -- Created by Tageshi


---------------------------------------------------------------
1. WHAT IS "FocusFrame"?
---------------------------------------------------------------

FocusFrame is very simple addon to show your focus.

The frame looks almost exactly same as Blizzard's TargetFrame;
It provide following features.
- Click to target your focus or your focus's target.
- Shows your focus's health and mana.
- Shows your focus's target.
- Shows cast bar of your focus.
- Supports Click-Casting such as Clique addon by utilizing ClickCastFrames.
- Movable by dragging the title tab.
- Supports MobHealth.


---------------------------------------------------------------
2. WHAT IS "focus"?
---------------------------------------------------------------


The "focus" is a new feature of WoW API 2.0.
Basically you can use "focus" as a second target.
It works in similar way as your real Target
and allows you to use DOUBLE targets at the same time. (essentially)

From API 2.0 Changes:
> * There is a new unit "focus" which behaves like target,
> the "PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED" event is fired when it is changed,
> and you receive unit events for this unit.

> * Spell casting and targetting (including focus) are only allowed
> using secure templates or special slash commands (not /script).



---------------------------------------------------------------
3. HOW TO USE "focus"?
---------------------------------------------------------------


You can set "focus" by using new standard Keybinding "Focus Target" or
by using new macro command "/focus" with target name or target id.
Another new standard keybindings "Target Focus" will change your target
to your focus. For example, you don't need to remember which mob is
your "sheep" to poly again.

Also you can use a keyword "focus" as a target id like "player",
"target", "party2", etc.

Example1: You can assist your focus by this macro.

/assist focus

You may want to focus your main tank/main assist if you will do DPS.
Or focus raid boss and 'assist' it if you are healing.


Example2: You can cast your Earth Shock on your focus by this macro.

/cast [target=focus] Earth Shock

You can watch spell casting bar on FocusFrame.


---------------------------------------------------------------
4. COMMANDS
---------------------------------------------------------------

FocusFrame has a few slash commands;

/focusframe scale <num> (Changes size of FocusFrame window.)
/focusframe reset (Reset window position.)
/focusframe lock (Prevent dragging the frame by accident.)
/focusframe unlock (Allows to move again.)

If your screen space is limited, try smaller window size:
/focusframe scale 0.7

When you accidently lost FocusFrame from your sight, reset it's
position and FocusFrame will appear again at the center of screen.

Hi,

I just love this awesome program. Since the patch it will not load in/work even though I check load in out-of-date addons. Any chance of fixing/checking this out?

Thanks!

Is there anyway to toggle the hp/mp text? I use SimpleUnitFrames which adds text to the frame and I'm just picky about having all my fonts the same otherwise I'd just turn it off in SUF.

hp/mp text on FocusFrame is linked to a standard option of Blizzard UI for now.
If you change 'Status Bar Text' check box to off in Interface Options, hp/mp text will disappear.
But in your case you don't want to remove all text on status bars?
I might add a slash command to toggle it later.

Surplus code

I went to fix some issues I found with this mod and found that you had just finished most of the work...thanks!

However, you can lop the three templates out of the beginning of your XML file, as they have no target-specific code in them...in fact, you never even use the second and third ones.

This may be a silly question but how do you clear the Focus Frame? I've tried /focusframe clear and /focusframe hide but neither work.

Thank you for your investigation!
Yes, it was my mistake; the first template TargetofFocusBuffButtonTemplate is not target-specific (It's using this:GetParent().unit though).
I will replace it with Blizzard's TargetofTargetBuffButtonTemplate.

But the second and third templates ARE target-specific; these has a token "focus" in its script, and Blizzard's one has "target" in their script. In fact it was a bug that I have not used these template in lua code.
I will fix lua codes so that it uses correct templates.

Unless something has changed, you can clear focus by losing target and hitting your set focus hotkey. It sets to nothing and is cleared. I've always done it that way.

Hi,

First of all, I love your mod

Just one little request. Would it be possible to add add a clearfocus button (a little red X or so) ? That would be easier then typing /clearfocus manually or making a macro (and wasting a button) for it.

Thanks

Is there any way to "skin" the focusframe?

I have blizzard "playe" frames hidden cos they are so ugly and the focusframe consept is exaclty what i need, but i wouldn't be able to stand that ugly blizz design frame :/

Would love to be able to skin it something like "Noctambul/Buena" or even Perl looks better then blizz default.

Great addon!! I was just wondering if there would be any way to add support for SimpleUnitFrames or what im really after is to have the little class icon added like it is on the regular target frame..

I recommend Hadar's Focus Frame for different design.
