SSArena Frames  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: r20090730
by: Shadowed [More]

Gives you a small frame that you can use while inside arenas to make targeting enemy players, as the screen shot shows health is displayed as a percentage and as the bar, mana is shown at the bottom of bar and is colored depending on the type. The little squares to the right of the screen are what class of person is targeting them from your team, to make it easier to assist and CC targets. You can also associate click actions that run macro text when a specific key and/or modifier combination is held down, along with only using it for specific classes.

Includes key bindings for targeting people through the arena frames, unlocking the arena frame through /ssaf ui -> General will show you an example frame to help you configure it.

Has three additional modules for enemy information. The first is cast information so you can directly see how many seconds left is on an enemies cast or channel. Second is basic CC timers like Fears, Traps, or Blind/Sap (Requires class icons to be enabled), both this and the cast info are 100% accurate and don't rely on guessing. And the last one is PvP trinket alerts which will show a PvP trinket next to there name when it's usable and hides it for 120 seconds until it's back up.

Due to changes in 3.0, you can now target people even after entering combat if you didn't see them, basically meaning you can enter combat and still target the stealther who pops out. You will have to see them before entering combat to use custom click actions, but general /target and /focus will work all the time.

targeting from name bar

ok having some difficulty targeting from the name list...I can see the name list but when i click ona players name it wont target them...but it does sometimes...like at the end of a match i was able to click on the black portion of the name bar(missing life area) and that let me target them...but in beginning of match when im trying to target using it...nothing happens...i acquire no target. i went to click actions in the options menu but i couldn't seem to figure out in there what that did exactly...and wasn't sure if i needed to change something in there to get it to work. Any ideas?

Just joined an arena and tried with default click actions along with using my custom ones in around 30 arena games yesterday and have no issues, make sure you don't have another frame overlapping it that's blocking the click.

yeah no luck...I moved the names all over my screen but still cant click to target, i have no idea what would interfere...i use
bartender 3(no bars hidden underneath)
a focus macro ...didn't have it up for test of name clicker...
atlas loot
xperl unit frames
Omen

thats it...i cant see how any of those would interfere...i know another guy had the same issue though on my server...im not sure whats causing it...while i think yours is the best...i'm going to need an alternative...what do you reccommend?
Proximo?
arena master?
and will any of those overlap with the basic sspvp? so the two conflict at all? hope not...
let me know...thanks...

I had the same problem but I guess it was corrected on r385 (didn't try it yet )
The problem is about the configuration of the addon, all you have to do is to turn OFF the option to search for the players talent points (in my case I don't have any of the dependencies installed so I shouldn't have it enabled anyways...) and the click will work again also if one of your team members had that option enabled you would be unable to click anyways..

Btw, I love your Mods Shadowd, been using them for almost a year now, and I was very glad wen you decided to resume your work

With this, I'm moving SSAF to stable. Theres a few bug fixes in this release to finish everything up, so I'd highly suggest on upgrading.

Thanks to the people who helped test it!

Bars don't go away

The unit frame bars are not going away when you leave an arena for some reason. This just started with the lastest release. In other battlegrounds such as av, it is calling out found enemies because of this.

What version were you using before and did you leave in the middle of combat, or out of combat? I haven't changed the code for enabling/disabling the arenas depending on if you're in an arena for a while.

I left out of combat when the arena finished. I was using 385 before, I'll have to reinstall it and double check. This is the first time i have noticed this happenwith any version. It is happening almost after every match now.

Hrm, I played a few rated matches before releasing it and it was working fine for me.

Does anyone else have this issue?

I have had the same issue as described below about ghost entries on the arena frames.

I'm not sure what causes it, because it seems to happen occasionally.

Wouldn't it be possible to trigger on the zone change event and automatically clear the window or the table or something similar?

Either way I've had it happen a few times (one with a rogue one with a warrior) where it would stick until the following arena was finished.

I cannot remember when it happened, but it might have been in a fight where one person left the arena before being killed without anyone targetting it. Though I'm not sure.

Other than that I absolutely love the addon, especially the little details like having the spec of the person listed in the frame and such.

It's already been moved to that method a week or so back, just making sure it works fully before updating.

I am having issues with SSArena and Remembrance. Remembrance will output the specs of people to my screen, however, SSArena will not always update the persons frame with their talents. This happens wether I am in combat or not. Sometimes it will update maybe one of the people, but the others won't get updated even though remembrance knows has seen them.
