oUF SpellRange Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 4.3.0.1

by: Saiket [More]

oUF SpellRange is an element plug-in for Haste's oUF unit frame framework that fades unit frames when out of casting range. Unlike the default oUF range fading, SpellRange works for any hostile or friendly targets, rather than group members only. You must have oUF and a compatible layout for oUF SpellRange to do anything.

Usage

The settings for implementing SpellRange are intentionally the same as the default Range element, because the two elements cannot work together. SpellRange will disable the Range element for frames where both are enabled.

To enable the SpellRange element:

Code:

self.SpellRange = {
	… -- At least one set of required properties, listed below
};

Either of the following sets of properties is required:

Code:

--- Takes priority over .insideRange/.outsideRange, and fires when changing between them.
function self.SpellRange.Update( self, InRange )
	…
end

Code:

self.SpellRange.insideAlpha = 1.0; -- Frame alpha when in range
self.SpellRange.outsideAlpha = 0.4; -- Frame alpha when out of range

Don't forget to add oUF_SpellRange as an optional dependency of your layout.

Note: SpellRange is necessarily slower than the default Range element, so use it with caution for large groups like raids or parties. The default Range element will always work for "player", "pet", and any unit that passes UnitPlayerOrPetInParty/UnitPlayerOrPetInRaid, however it is limited to 38 yard range.

4.3.0.1: Bumped TOC for 4.3.
4.2.0.1: Bumped TOC for 4.2.
4.1.0.1: Bumped TOC for 4.1.
4.0.0.1:
- Now adds a :ForceUpdate method and .__owner property to .SpellRange elements to conform with the oUF 5 API. If you intend to use these, you can no longer recycle a generic .SpellRange element table.
- Spells updated for Cataclysm pre-release patch 4.0.1.
3.3.5.1:
- Now checks for a .SpellRange table containing properties similar to oUF 1.4's updated Range element. Not backwards compatible!
- Added support for multiple spells per class, choosing the first known spell from a list.
3.3.0.2: Added support for embedded installs.
3.3.0.1: Bumped TOC for 3.3.
3.2.0.2: Removed "Raise Ally" as a range check spell for allies, since it only works for raid/party members.
3.2.0.1: Uses the new IsSpellKnown API instead of constantly querying GetSpellInfo, as it is dramatically faster.
3.0.9.6: Fixed error for classes that had no help or harm spell.
3.0.9.5: Low level players that haven't trained their spells yet will now properly see 28 yard ranges.
3.0.9.4:
- No longer enables itself for frames that don't request SpellRange.
- Now supports a :SpellRangeOverride( InRange ) method in place of the in and outside alpha properties.
3.0.9.3: Correctly sorted priest spells into the HelpID and HarmID tables.
3.0.9.2: Shows proper range of player and group members while on a flightpath for players with no ranged buff spells.

It make me know the spelling can't be successful.
thanks.

You can use the Update callback to change your castbar's color instead of fading the unitframe out, like this:

Code:

self.SpellRange = {};
function self.SpellRange:Update( InRange )
	if ( InRange ) then
		self.Castbar:SetStatusBarColor( 0, 1, 0 ); -- Green
	else
		self.Castbar:SetStatusBarColor( 1, 0, 0 ); -- Red
	end
end

Make sure you only add those interrupts to the HarmIDs list, since WoW always considers attacks on a friendly to be "out of range". The HelpIDs list is only for spells you can cast on allies, but if the class doesn't have any (like warriors), the mod defaults to a standard 28 yard check.

I was using Intervene for help and pummel for hard and then salv for help and rebuke for harm so I thought I got those right but apparently something else is going on somewhere.

I'll double check the code in the harm/help and make sure I didn't create the issue.

Picture of me next to target dummy in range

Picture of me next to target dummy out of range

So The target dummy in and out of range works exactly like I intended but the player frame it just shows out of range no matter how close I am. Is this likely to be a code issue of something I have done or is there a way to resolve this?

Please point them to this download page, which has instructions on how they can update their layout.

Ah damn, might be it! Forgot to check that! ;P

Will report if it works! ^^

Thanks for the quick response mate.

EDIT - Ye, it was it. What a nub error... :S

The result is, nothing happens. If I change the inRangeAlpha to less than 1 I will see my frame (player) change because I'm in range (duoh), but the target never changes. Any clues to the why of this behavior?

Code:

Make sure to restart the game after the update. "Parent addon" means oUF_SpellRange; It should work fine with oUF_Caellian once the game re-reads SpellRange's TOC file.

What prevents the default function from executing is you nilling object.Range. Frankly it should work like all the other elements, will possibly post a feature request for Haste soon.

Yeah, I just added that call in case Haste ever actually implements that.
