Magic Targets

Version: 20240123

by: neotron [More]

Magic Targets is a simple set of frames that shows the current targets of the members raid or party. It's meant primarily for use in raiding to keep track of all the mobs currently engaged in combat. Feature list:

Optionally marks your current target and focus target with green respectively blue arrows.
Lists the number of people who's currently targeting each mob.
Colors each bar based on target status (crowd controlled, tanked, untanked or idle).
Shows the icon(s) of the crowd controll methods a mob is currently affected by and optionally shows a countdown timer for the longest duration remaining crowd control method.
Automatically adds new mobs as members of the raid targets them.
Automatically removes mobs after when they die or when they haven't been actively targeted by someone, or seen in the combat log, for a small period of time. Crowd controlled mobs are always kept on the list.
Uses oRA2 and buff detection (defensive stance, bear form and righteous fury) to determine if a player is a tank.
Customizable font and font size, bar texture, color and size, and more.
Optionally able to listen to events from Magic Marker to prepopulate the list with mobs, including the assigned crowd controlled methods.
Optional tooltip shows mob level and type, health percentage, current target, status and Magic Marker assignment. It also lists all players targeting the mob.

Magic Targets 2.0

MT2 is a major refactoring of the original addon. The layout of the bars is now much more flexible. Not only can you freely decide which data to show on the bars, there are also multiple layouts to choose from. Best of all, the transition to Magic Targets 2 should be transparent. Note that the default layout of Magic Targets 2 is different. If you prefer the Magic Marker 1 layout, go into the configuration options => Bar Labels and select the classic Bar Layout. Comments are welcome!

Configuration and use:

Configuration is done using the Blizzard configuration UI. You can use the FuBar/Minimap button or the slash command /mgt config to open it. To get access to a larger number of fonts and textures you need to install the SharedMedia addons.

Note: The bars are not clickable. Due to the secure templates added in WoW 2.0, this is no longer possible. PvP specific addons get around this limitation by making macros that target players by name. Since NPC names are not unique, this is not a viable solution for Magic Targets.

I think somehow I broke it because I tested it and it worked but then later it failed to work correctly. Not sure why.

I'm not using Fubar. I'm using other addons that have a Fubar options and doesn't throw this error.

I believe it works ok (basically it checks if it's a warrior with a shield equipped - not 100% foolproof of course but sufficient from a 5-man point of view - most raids would use oRA MT targets). One idea is that perhaps I can hack into the Blizzard tank target feature too.

It was an untested fix. I need to do some actual testing I guess... Hmm. Thanks for the report.

Using your lastest version from wowace, and I'm still not being seen as a tank.

I'm in defence stance and using a shield.

Now I was not in a raid, just a group doing an insta. (Not sure if this is raid only.)

Just posting here to give you a headsup.

Couldn't find a Magic Target thread on wowace.

Love the addon, keep up the good work.

Would it be possible to simply move target nameplates into a list and use those as the target bars? Would that provide the same fuction with clicking ability? Again, I have no idea how all of this works, I'm just asking.

Also, when I tried using this mod, it caused an error with both Omen and Button Facade. I had to disable the mod because of the error with Omen. Basically it locked Omen in AoE mode and would give an error whenever I tried to open the Omen config menu. Does anyone have any idea about this?

No clue how the nameplates work. As for the problem with Omen upgrading to the version I just uploaded should solve that issue.

Normally we have all our tanks in the oRA main tank list. Last night we forgot and did indeed notice this same issue - it didn't correctly detect our prot warrior as being a tank. It's on my 'to fix" list.

A request if possible. could we get the mobs target in the bar as well?

I'd like to glance at the bars to see quickly if and who in my group the mob is on.

Thanks again love the addon,

This is certainly a possibility. I'll probably make the data on the bar somewhat customizable at some point.

I responded there but will respond here as well. This is likely due to MagicTargets lacking an optional dependency on FuBar. Omen's and MagicTarget's version of this file is the same - it's just that it's manually copied into the respective repositories (to avoid "branch" issues).

Thanks. I have checked in a fix for this in SVN - will release a new version to WoWInterface later today or tomorrow.

Zidomo A Cliff Giant Forum posts: 76 File comments: 1046 Uploads: 0	Reposting the posts I made in the Wowace forums about a current problem with the mod's libraries in case you don't see them there: Gave MagicTargets r77558 a try for the first time on a low level alt (no other mods running). No errors, works very well, looked promising. Enabled it on a main here. This time an error at logon: MagicTargets\LibFuBarPlugin-Mod-3.0.lua:598: attempt to index upvalue 'Tablet20' (a nil value) A couple other mods on the main character embed LibFuBarPlugin-Mod-3.0.lua: Omen & FuBar_WhoRollFu. The versions of the library included with those (74211) are different from the one included with MagicTargets (75670). MagicTargets includes the different version library in the main mod folder, not as an external. The different versions loading shouldn't make a difference, but you never know. ----------------------------- Post I made a couple days later: Deleted the LibFuBarPlugin-Mod-3.0.lua file in the \MagicTargets folder; no more errors. The mod is now using here the file revision 74211 being loaded with Omen. That file should be in externals (a lib folder), not in the root folder as its currently being downloaded. The current revision of LibFuBarPlugin-Mod-3.0.lua in Branches is r74211; where is the newer one being downloaded with the mod (causing the logon error) from? Also, one of the included libs is LibLogger-1.0. Isn't that lib just for debugging? Anyway, hope the library issues can be fixed. Other than the lib problems, the mod works great here so far.
