Magic Targets  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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.

Neotron,

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.

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

Try the newest version from wowace. 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.

OK OK! Now shows me as a Tank! Tested solo and group, works great!


BTW

Been getting the following error. Still works though.

I'm not using Fubar.

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



[2008/07/29 13:44:44-36-x1]: MagicTargets-1.0\MagicTargets.lua:976: attempt to call method 'info' (a nil value)

Thanks for the report. I'll probably modify the plugin support to use LDB instead (which aims to be a generic "data provider" library for fubar-like addons).

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

This error only occurs when the newest version of magictargets is enabled.
It does not occur with r69.

LibSimpleBar fixed

The issue with LibSimpleBar-1.0 is fixed in 2.0.80. I had fixed this earlier but forgot to upload the new version to WoWInterface.

Hmm, regarding targetting. If players had a focus on the mobs, could the addon use that to get to playername.Focus to target the mob.

I'm looking for something that works with Emalon to make targetting the right add easier.
