Simple Threat Meter
3.2.0 version

Description
Simple Threat Meter was designed out of a desire to be able to see what my threat level was, simply and without having to visually locate a mod and study it.

Omen does such a great job that I haven't seen many other threat meters developed, but with the complexity of some fights, I wanted something that keeps me aware of my current threat level, but allows me to focus on the fight at hand.

So, Simple Threat Meter was born.

What does it do?

The bar displayed fills up from 0% to 100%. When it hits 100%, you pull aggro.

This uses the BUILT-IN Blizzard threat values, so is guaranteed to be correct, and is also based upon your distance to the target.

For reference, when using Omen or another threat meter, the values you need to be aware of:
110% - you will pull aggro from the tank if you are in melee range.
130% - you will pull aggro from the tank if you are further than melee.

With Simple Threat Meter, you just need to watch for 100%.


Configuration and Usage
To open the configuration panel, type the command: /stm or access through the standard add-ons configuration menu.

The configuration options themselves should be fairly clear.

The threat bars are also click-through when locked, meaning that they don't get in the way and stop you clicking on targets. You can also configure a transparency level, so you can see through the bars.

Solo / Group option. You can set STM so that it only functions in group or raid and doesn't display when solo.

================================================================================
Initial release version.

To open the configuration panel, type the command: /stm Additionally, if you
have the mod unlocked, you can access the options screen by right-clicking on
the drag bar.

The configuration options themselves should be fairly clear. Click on the
"Show test" button to see what the threat bars will look like in use, with the
options you have configured.

The threat bars only display in combat (you don't need them outside combat, so
why leave them there?) though you can show test bars using the config panel.

The threat bars are also click-through, meaning that they don't get in the way
and stop you clicking on targets.

Lastly, you can configure a transparency level, so you can see through the bars.

Oops, I added an additional frame for the background, to allow better control and borders and stuff. I never use horizontal mode myself, so forgot to test it!

The bar itself still works horizontally, just the background doesn't!

edit: Problem fixed and new version uploaded.

It looks as the horizontal mode is not working for this version. Great work, though.

I changed the Thickness min value at line 111 to a value of 10. I prefer a thinner line than was originally provided.

But I love your addon, I get tired of trying to find my threat among all the others in Omen.

I'll probably add support for further textures soon.

Any chance we'll see visual improvements such as making it look like Blizz's casting bar or something like that? (always customisable, of course)

Ok, I figured it out, what was causing the threat meter to not stay put.

It occured whenever the user was also running a viewport mod, as I was saving the position relative to the screen, but setting it relative to the viewable area.

Lesson learned and problem fixed!

Odd. I had that happen once myself, but only once. I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it. Hmmm, will try more tests.
