Target Frames

Are there any plans to add target frames to the player frames for 10 man raids and up? (hopefully I'm not a total noob and they're not there already...)

Hmm I thought they were there.. they're very small though if they are. Most of my grouping are for raids so I am sure thats where I have seen them. I believe they would be the smaller box bottom right inside the player frame. The pet usually appeas on the left.

All unit frame panels include a target frame... the Party and 10 man raid both use the same target frame design, 15 man and up use a target frame on the bottom of the panel to the right of the location frame.

Wonder if were talking about the same thing... Going to Ulduar right now so I'll take a closer look and report back.

Yeah, still don't see it...

Ah nope not in 10 man, must have been 5 man where I've seen them then .. strange. On that screen you only have target of target and not target of player. But looking at the size of the bars it is understandable.

I agree but not having target of player is a bit annoying and would be a nice to have.

Ah... you were asking for party member targets, not target.

At this time you are correct, they are not displayed quite simply be cause there is not enough real estate to display them in and, frankly, I think there are precious few UIs that do display raid member targets.

That said... it is possible to display them by modifying the layout table to add them. They question is where to put them, etc. The same is true of raid member pets.

mmm yeah....

Target of party member: based on real esate - 5/10 man prob doable, beyond that just not enough space.

Party/Raid pets: Probably worthless for most users as we simply dont care about other members pets

. One solution would be for an extra popup window that only shows up when pets are detected in the raid that lists the pets and who they belong too with an option to disable/enable the feature. Very low priority.

The biggest place where something like "pets" is an issue is in the end game events where you need to know the status of your group member's dragons (which are technically vehicles, but would otherwise use the same mechanism and display area as pets)
