GoodTarget  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.0
by: Julith [More]

Description

I wrote this addon for my warrior because i wanted to know quickly when I lost/gained the aggro of a mob while switching through them.

The addon shows a little frame which displayes a "Good" if your current target is targeting you, otherwise it will display the name of your targets target.

Since version 0.5 it also checks your party targets for aggro loss. If so it will display a additional frame with the name of the party member who got aggro. You can actually click at the frame to target the mob you've lost.

It also plays different sounds at aggro gain and aggro loss.

Known problems:

- party frame size only updates after reload of the UI (couldn't reproduce the error yet)

1.0
- added left out libraries to package
- made this version 1.0 since I consider its done (regarding the features it should have)

revision 7
- fixed "disable party frame" on reload bug
- added "click throughable but not click-to-castable"-mode for party frame

0.7b (revision 6)
- just removed the debug message I forgot

0.7 (revision 5)
- added an option set the visibility of the party targets background

0.6 (probably revision 4)
- recoded the whole addon
- separated player targets and party targets
- made the frames lockable and easier to move
- colors the name of the target of a mob by class
- plays a different sound if you loose a mob which is not your target

0.5 (probably revision 3)
- added GoodTarget frames for party targets

0.4b (probably revision 2)
- renamed it back to "GoodTarget"

0.4 (probably revision 1)
- "made it ace'd"
- made backdrop change color
- made frame resizable
- "aggro gained"-sound is only played if aggro was lost before now

0.25 (probably revision...ehh...)
- updated toc to patch 2.0

0.21
- bugfix: didn't update targets target when switching from bad targets target to another bad targets target

0.2
- enable warnings only at hostile targets
- added "sound on/off" and "checkinterval" as commandline options
- code optimized
- little bugfix

0.15 - first release
- added sounds
- added target-textframe

after logging in today it seems that the problem has fixed itself. Both my frames are active now so it looks like I jumped the gun a bit. sorry about wasting your time

I have the most recent version of goodtarget.
What happens if you disable these two new addons? (Just to see if its caused by them.)

Thanks! Nice to hear that it still works (there where rumors it didn't and I couldn't test it because my warrior is still 70).

Great mod, I really love it, just like the gridinchealth mod.
One question though: what is partyclickthrough?
It says makes the frames click throughable but what is this exactly?
Thanks.
"Click-throughable" means that if some enemy or player is behind the party-targets-frame on the screen you can still target them by clicking at them on the screen. Meaning the click isn't recognized by the party-frame but at the mob/player/etc behind it.

- thanks, should be fixed now

With more use, this is terrific.

But its unfortunate the party frame is not able to be clicked through. As a result, have had to disable it as I need maximum screen space to click targets I can't tab to quickly.
- added click throughable mode, but of course it isn't click-to-targetable anymore if activated.

The only way to get it off your screen "permanently" is to move it to a far corner. Positioning of the GoodTarget frames (party & main) remains through relogs, but not disabling of the party frame.

the suffix "-r6" is meant as "revision 6", which is just the sequential number I use for the zips. It is meant not to be equal with the actual version of the addon. I'll add a note not the description.

The ZIP for download as of this time/date is called "GoodTarget-r6", despite r0.7b apparently being available.

Thanks, nice to hear.

Would love to have a feature where this addon "casts" righteous defense or taunt when you click on it's frame ( when the NPC is not targeting you that is ).
This would mean making them real unit frames...I'll keep it in mind.

Also, it would be good if the frame "flashes" when you dont have aggro.
I thought playing a sound and turning from green to red would be noticable enough. Why and how exactly should it flash?

I'm currently rewriting the whole addon because the group target-frames of the last version have been pretty messy (I still can't believe that nobody reported any bug about them .

If the rewriting is done I'll see how I can implement your comments/request.

Thanks again. I'm always happy about any comments I can get. Especially bug reports.
