Healing Range Alpha  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 4.10
by: Crepusculu [More]

HealingRangeAlpha v4.10
Written by Crepusculu of Stormrage

This addon changes friendly unit frame's alpha based on distance

- Support for any unit frame using secure button templates
- Alpha values adjustable per range
- Available ranges depend on what spells you can cast


Operations:

/hra -- access the option menu

Enabled HRA -- Turns on and off HRA updates
(ms) interval updates -- Adjust the frequency of updates. Setting to zero will update whenever possible. Increase this delay to improve performance
colorize depth level -- Adjust the structural depth of textures in the unit frame that get colored. Currently disabled
slider bars -- Alpha value for specified range
color boxes -- Color value to blend with button textures for specified range. Currently disabled



Known Issues:

Coloring is disabled due to change in design (frames can be detected before they have textures).
Possible error with secure templates (index is pointing to a nil value). I'm unsure of the source of this error.





Version History
4.10 -
Removed the CreateFrame hook. The hook was causing the frames to become tainted. Will instead scan all frames periodically after new frames are created.
I haven't been successful in finding an event for unit attribute change, all methods appear to be blocked.

There's a problem with auto-targeting turned on.

I as a paladin sometimes have to be at the front to keep judgements up, but if I have auto-targeting turned on it automatically puts me off combat mode. If I manually enter combat mode again it immediately puts me of it again.

Also if you disable hra while some of the targets are out of range, their units in ctra stay half-invisible. I had to reenable it and set all the alphas to 100%, and disable it, or disable it while all the units are in range.

Hope these can get fixed. It's a great mod

I use this addon for healing for some time now and i must say it does it's job. But i do have a comment on it's updating though: i have allmost allways players in range while your addon alpha's them out of range or los. Tried editing the settings several times, but the results stay the same.

Thanks for the comments. I've been testing a new release and its gotten to a bug-free status. Shall be posting

@Eronald

I have a "PLAYER_ENTER_COMBAT" checking combat, however it seems to trigger too late and the target changes to a friendly unit, removing autoattack. I inserted a new method to check auto-attack on the hotbar and it appears to work.

I also included a function setting all frames to 100% alpha when disabling the mod.


@Drubiz

It's very likely the players are within the 30 to 40 yard range. I've included a hook onto spell actions which will check range every standard heal, so you should be getting a more accurate reading.

This sounds very interesting. I'm currently using the inRange addon, and love it, but it's buggy, and requires you to make a CODE CHANGE to CT_RA.lua.

So, I have a question.

One of the things I love about inRange, is that it filters out the people that are OOR from the emergency list. Is it possible to filter out OOR people (so they don't appear) from the emergency list?

It's quite possible, however that will likely require me to recode some of Cide & Ts work, and I do not want to spend hours of work on code that is likely to be changed upon their next version. If I do ever feel so inspired, I rather build my own custom raiding mod to set sorting, filtering, and visuals for the thing you are talking about.

Key binding

Hello,

the addon works like advertised - very good!
However, I would like to have a keybinding to switch HRA on/off. So, with one key you can activate it in the midst of a battle or switch it off if you don't care for range.

I had to remove the new version of your addon: it made it only possible for me to heal myself no matter whom or what i target. This in combination with Smartheal Enhanced (latest version) and latest beta release of Perl Classic Unit Frames. Very weird though as the affected addons still work like intended only my heals never land on the selected target, wether this through selecting the target and using good ol'macros or using the built-in clickheal function of Smartheal on Perl.
I havent tried turning off the auto-selfcast feature of Smartheal yet, but as i am at work i havent had the chance yet. If this solves it, i'll post here again.

Edit: No dice, somehow the new version isnt compatible with smartheal. It keeps directing any heal i try to cast at myself instead of selected target. Disabling auto-selfcast didnt work either. Disabled alpha for now, but i do miss it

It's likely that "SmartHeal" is using the same hooks and attempting to read off target values. In order to scan all 40 members of the raid, I have to detach the target, cast the spell (this is where your mod picks up the hook), and after scanning all 40 members, it will retarget the selected person for the spell

Your mod is detecting -NO- target since I'm putting the spell into spell targeting mode. I'm assuming it then automatically targets yourself. I could be wrong cause I haven't look at the other code, but that's my guess.

I'll have to think about how to work around that problem. It might be as simple as changing the order of hooks (aka, renaming the folder to 'zHealingRangeAlpha' and all references inside), or removing the detection feature on demand.
