PolMonitor Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

This addon helps you make sure you have all the buffs you should have, that your target and focus target have the debuffs they should have, and that you're using your spell and item cooldowns as often as possible. It does this by letting you set up monitors for the buffs, debuffs, spells/skills and items you're interested in. The monitors appear visually as standard action buttons on the screen.

When everything is ok (you have the monitored buff, your target has the debuff, the cooldown is running, ..) the corresponding button is faded out. When something is missing or the cooldown is up the button becomes fully opaque, signaling that something needs to be done. Buttons that represent skills/spells/items you have can be clicked to trigger the appropriate action.

Use /polmonitor to configure.

2008-08-07 - 1.1.12
- Debuff monitor cooldowns should now show correctly even when other people have applied the same debuff

2008-08-06 - 1.1.11
- Added option to ignore global cooldown.

2008-08-06 - 1.1.10

2008-08-05 - 1.1.9
- Added option on groups to ignore mouse input.

2008-07-31 - 1.1.8
- Fixed a problem when deleting groups - layout and buttons weren't cleaning themselves up properly.

2008-07-29 - 1.1.7
- Added target selection (self, pet, target, focus target) to buff monitors.

2008-07-27 - 1.1.6
- Added global options for button fade level, whether to fade the cooldown (this is a hack, it might not work well with cooldown or skinning addons), and whether to register with cyCircled and/or ButtonFacade (requires ui reload to take full effect).
- Added option on target debuff monitors to check current target or the focus target (for keeping track of sheep on my mage, fear on my lock).

2008-07-26 - 1.1.5
- Fixed problem with empty groups not always being draggable
- Added "Equipped only" option on item cooldown monitors

2008-07-23 - 1.1.4
- Fixed the uglified frame border back to how it originally was!

2008-07-23 - 1.1.3
- Cooldown support. For spell and item cooldown monitors the actual cooldown is used, for buff and target debuff monitors the time left on the (de)bugg is used instead.
- Groups are now scaleable
- Default target for spell cooldown monitors can now be configured

2008-07-21 - 1.1.0
- Converted to Ace3.
- Added ButtonFacade and cyCircled support. Sadly I couldn't find a good way to dynamically update cyCircled with new/deleted groups, so it will only be able to interact with groups that were there the last time the GUI was loaded.
- Stopped using my own haxed button template. This uglified the buttons somewhat (to my eyes at least), but made it simpler to work with ButtonFacade and cyCircled.

Arana A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	As a S-Priest I hacked mine to watch me for debuffs like corruption and pop a dispel button that will take it off me. Then i just built up a list of dispellables and it works a charm. Works for Abolish disease when you list debuffs like frost fever and Blood plague, etc. The code is too nasty to post here.

I've also added a dogtag button type which is quite nifty.

Yay a working version without having to edit the LUA. Thank you !!!!

Very NICE addon - thanks.

One thing I wanted and decided to see if it would work was to monitor a buff (as an example - Shadow Trance) and show button when available - so far no problem.

But then I wanted to be able to press the button and have it cast Shadow Bolt on the target for me :-)

OK - I could possibly have worked some macro way of doing it, but decided to temporarily kludge code to allow this to happen by adding an equivalent buff of #Shadow Bolt and recognising from the # that it should overwrite the default button action.

For anyone interested in trying the code below between the comments can be inserted as marked in Monitor.lua and will do the job (bets off on different version to the one current at this post).

It is however NOT how it should be done and am sure Polina will despair at it, but allowed me to see it in action before asking for code change, and I include code for anyone else who might like to play :-)

-- Buff -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

local MonitorBuff = polOO.Class(MonitorWithCooldown)
Pol_MonitorTypeRegister("Buff", MonitorBuff)

function MonitorBuff:init(buttonTypeOrProfile, ...)
MonitorWithCooldown.init(self, buttonTypeOrProfile)

if type(buttonTypeOrProfile) ~= "table" then
-- We're being created on the fly by the user
self.profile.buffName = table.concat({...}, " ")
end

self:_AddEmptyEquivalentsToProfileIfNeeded()
self.button:SetSpell(self.profile.buffName, self.profile.texture)

-- Kludge override of spellname and unit if an equivalent specified with a # prefix
-- (only assume target, focus could be done with another prefix?)
for k, dummy in pairs(self.profile.equivalentNames) do
if k:sub(1,1) == "#" then
self.button:SetSpell(k:sub(2), self.profile.buffName)
self.button:SetUnit("target")
end
end
-- end kludge

self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED")
self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED")
self:RegisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")
self:_UpdateStatus()
end

and (pfft - forgot to paste this bit)

function MonitorBuff:AddEquivalent(buffName)
self.profile.equivalentNames[buffName] = true
-- Kludge override of spellname and unit if an equivalent specified with a # prefix
-- (only assume target, focus could be done with another prefix?)
if buffName:sub(1,1) == "#" then
self.button:SetSpell(buffName:sub(2), self.profile.texture)
self.button:SetUnit("target")
end
-- end kludge
self:_UpdateStatus()
end

Again - apologies for bastardising the code, but was fun :-)

Thank you so much! This works perfectly , it keeps track if my Lifetap buff right on the PM bar next to my dots. Makes life SO much easier. By far my favorite add on as a warlock.

Quote:

if self.profile.equivalentNames[debuffName] and (isMine == "player" or not self.profile.mineOnly) then

And Line 510 from

dloboi A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 17 Uploads: 0	I am having a problem with two of my characters. When I create buttons under my Warlock the same buttons also show under my Druid. When I delete them from my Druid and recreate Druid ones they show under my Warlock. I use this addon for all my other characters with no problems except these two. I have tried to reset both profiles, but it keeps happening when I recreate. Whatever I create under one shows up under the other. How do I fix since I have ten characters and only these two have this glitch. I would prefer to not having to totally reset, but rather fix it so these two characters can have two independent settings. My guess it that something is corrupted or somehow tied together. Thoughts on how to fix???? Last edited by dloboi : 03-31-2009 at 02:10 PM.

Jabar A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 31 Uploads: 1	Fantastic addon, gratz ! I, however, find weird you can't hide entire groups. My groups are divided up according to my spec. If i'm xx/xx/xx i'd only be using 'group Y'... or i can't hide other groups. Will this be implemented in the future ?
