NinjaYell

Version: r7

by: ganders [More]

NinjaYell is a small addon useful for announcing to your group when key spells are applied, removed or missed (resisted, immune, dodge, etc.).

By default NinjaYell will announce:

Sap
Blind
Fear
Psychic Scream
Freezing Trap
Polymorph
Cyclone
Failed Taunts
Failed Distracts

How do I add my own spells?
NinjaYell does not have any kind of config, which is one of the things that keeps this addon so small. To edit what spells you want NinjaYell to announce, open up core.lua in the NinjaYell folder and follow the directions inside. It should be pretty straightforward.

I've added quite a few comments to the core.lua file (they're the lines with the -- before them) to help explain what's happening and what you need to do to add your own spells & messages.

Questions, comments, bug reports, etc.:
Use the buttons under the DOWNLOAD button or leave a comment.

r7
- Removed use of a metatable
- Rearranged addon structure to allow referencing to NinjaYell's tables in game.
r6
- Added slash command to enable/disable the mod
- Fixed a few bugs and (hopefully) made it more efficient
- Added "Interrupt" messages for spells like Kick and Counterspell. Simply add the spell in like you would any other, but instead of making messages for Applied or Faded use Interrupt

r4
- So I decided to log on to my mage to make sure NinjaYell worked for Polymorph, and lo and behold! NinjaYell didn't work for casting at all! This is what I get for exclusively playing a rogue. Oh well, it should be fixed now, I'd appreciate it if someone else could give me some feedback on it.
- If you don't have any SCT addons AND you're not using Blizzard's FCT, it will use the SAY channel

r3
- ToC Version change
- Added color variable. Change the values in this table to change the color of the messages displayed through SCT

r2
- Resetting Change Log

That person will most likely be my /focus but i don't really understand how to write that line in the lua as my %t is the mob. Any idea ?

Any idea ?

Newest version now has support for whispers.

Using Misdirection as an example:

Code:

-- Use Channel to provide a custom channel to be used, and use Target to provide a WHISPER target (if you choose to use WHISPER as your custom channel)
	["Misdirection"] = {
		Channel = "WHISPER",
		Target = function() return UnitName("focus") end,
		Applied = "Misdirection on YOU!",
		Faded = "",
	},

Channel is the custom channel to use. If you have this there then it will ALWAYS use that channel. The Target variable is the target to send the whisper to. In this case, it uses a function to always return the name of your focus. You could however, also use just a normal string, like "Bob", if you ALWAYS wanted your whisper target to be Bob.

I'll test it out then upload.

Of course i don't want to whisper my pet but with this line Target = function() return UnitName("focus") end It's systematically going to whisper my focus even if i have a friendly target selected if i'm not mistaken. So, question is, is it possible to change that line so it send the whisper to my friendly target if i have one and to the focus if i have no friendly target but instead a hostile target.

It's systematically going to whisper my focus even if i have a friendly target selected if i'm not mistaken.

So, question is, is it possible to change that line so it send the whisper to my friendly target if i have one and to the focus if i have no friendly target but instead a hostile target.

Code:

Target = function() if UnitCanAttack("player", "target") then return UnitName("focus") else return UnitName("target") end end,

This should use your focus' name if you're targeting something hostile, and you're target's name if you're targeting something friendly.

Code: [2008/05/28 15:02:37-9136-x1]: SendChatMessage(): Whisper message missing target player!: <in C code>: ? <in C code>: in function `SendChatMessage' NinjaYell-1.0\core.lua:154: in function `Announce' NinjaYell-1.0\core.lua:60: in function <Interface\AddOns\NinjaYell\core.lua:48> --- This happen if ihave no focus and no friendly target, as the default is then to MD to my pet, the addon generate an error as the pet isn't a player and i have no friendly target.

This happen if ihave no focus and no friendly target, as the default is then to MD to my pet, the addon generate an error as the pet isn't a player and i have no friendly target.

Right, my mistake. Try this:

Code:

function() if UnitCanAttack("player", "target") then if UnitExists("focus") then return UnitName("focus") else return UnitName("pet") end else return UnitName("target") end,

This will whisper your focus if you're targeting something hostile. If you don't have a focus, it will whisper your pet. If you're targeting something friendly then it will whisper your target.

I hope that's what you needed.

With the latest release, the misdirection line u gave me below doesn't work anymore, no errors, just no whisper to the person i'm misdirecting to.

My MD line

Code:

Target = function() if UnitCanAttack("player", "target") then if UnitExists("focus") then return UnitName("focus") else return UnitName("pet") end else return UnitName("target") end end,

Error i get when having no target so the MD is sent to focus

Code:

[2008/06/08 17:18:02-10048-x1]: SendChatMessage(): Whisper message missing target player!:
<in C code>: ?
<in C code>: in function `SendChatMessage'
NinjaYell\core.lua:192: in function `Announce'
NinjaYell\core.lua:84: in function <Interface\AddOns\NinjaYell\core.lua:65>
