Wintergrasp Timer

Version: beta18 (defunct)

by: Mike-N-Go [More]

This AddOn is not updated for 4.x.

It will remain
for posterity.

If you are still unabated, please show your support if you want this AddOn updated for 4.x. You can either donate, or show your support on the comments page.

As of May 20, 2009: This addon is unsupported for the time being. AddOn authoring was only a hobby of mine. Mike-N-Go is not currently playing WoW, thus not creating or maintaining mods for WoW. If someone wishes to submit a patch for one of my mods to WoWInterface, you may within the bounds of the license bundled with the mod.

Now with slashcommand-options!
/wgt or /wintergrasptimer [option]
screen - shows announcements on screen
chat - shows announcements in chat
sound - plays warningsound with announcements (Sound file is from Nintendo's (c) Smash Brothers, provided by HelpTheWretched (http://noproblo.dayjo.org/ZeldaSounds/).)
stopwatch - shows stopwatch when less than 5 minutes left
time - prints time left in chat

Note: Ownership of this file has changed to Mike-N-Go from Mikma. He has several new features that should be out soon(tm). The pictures do not necessarily reflect the latest version of the AddOn.

Contrary to making the mod not work outside of Northrend, I recommend that you save the wait time in a var, and use that var for your timer if not in Northrend.

Edit1: Added part about making the mod working not.

Good idea, wouldnt work when logging in and you were already in another zone then northrend, but it would work when teleporting there. As long as you get back after it's been captured to update it ;p

Update:
This solved it.

Code:

local B=UnitBuff("player","Essence of Wintergrasp")
	if (B=="Essence of Wintergrasp") then
		wgcontrol = "Defending!"
	elseif (zone=="Naxxramas" or zone=="The Obsidian Sanctum" or zone=="The Eye of Eternity") then
		wgcontrol = ""
	else
		wgcontrol = "Attacking!"
	end

You could also make the trigger if (not b==nil) or even if (b) ? (not sure about this one)

I dunno; I last tested it under 3.0.x.

I am not supporting any of my addons at this time, for college is priority.

Though i find the timer a bit off all the time.
It says that the battle is on when the "real" timer (in wg) says its still 2 mins left.

Sorry to be so forthright, but I am yet to get $1.00 from my AddOns.
