oUF and Hots?

[todd3835]

I'm looking for a way to see hots (renew and prayer of mending specifically) on my oUF frames. Anyone know of any?

Are you looking to have the effect of them displayed (a la HealComm) or that there is a HoT on someone (a la Grid)?

One of these is probably what you want if it's one of the above:

HealComm4 is a help, as it will show heals that are incoming (not sure if it keeps up with HoTs also). I'm currently modifying DruidHots, but not sure how exactly to integrate it into a Layout (using Nivaya atm). I think I've got it fully edited, it's a matter of getting it to play with a layout =]

You could take a look at oUF_AuraWatch.
If you want my layout with it, just pm me

Hiya,

oUF_HealComm4 will show pretty much all incoming heals. The library was reworked since v3 to include HoTs, channelled heals and bomb type effects (the bloom in lifebloom).

It will be possible to change oUF_HealComm4 to show only heals that you do, but it's not something I'd want to put in the general implementation. You can use oUF_HealComm4 as a base for doing your own heal monitoring addon, but there has recently been a major rewrite that will be released when patch 3.3 hits the live servers. Send me a PM and I'll point you at the repository if you want to look into it.



I'd personally use something like oUF DruidHots for displaying my own HoTs and have oUF_HealComm4 displaying all incoming healing.
Also, last time I looked at oUF_Freebgrid that had class specific healing displays that showed renew and PoM for priests. I didn't like how it was implemented, but it might give you some ideas.

HealComm4 is the way it was designed in my opionion. It's nice to know about incoming heals. As for DruidHots, I did hack that sucker up, to do what I think I needed, but the problem is there's no support for it that I know of in Nivaya, which is my layout of choice.

On another note, I played for hours with AuraWatcher, and have what I believe should work, but it's not. It was working very very briefly, and then I went and did something and can't get it working since.....

So what I really want is like in HealBot to show the actual icon for Renew and PoM right on the unit frame. Most of what I've seen is for showing a color'd dot. While this is something that could technically work for most people, after using healbot, I prefer icons over color'd dots. It's like needing to re-learn to play......

Upon playing around some more with freebgrid, it does indeed have support for PoM (a dot in the lower right corner) and renew (a cooldown number on the mid top), it's still not quite what I want. Also, I'm looking for raid frames while in raid, and not when solo. I suppose i could look at different layouts and try to create my own, but i'm still very very new to LUA.....

General consensus within unit frames is that a centre icon would display some immediate bad thing to deal with. Corner indicators display nice to know information, such as unit has a HoT.
If you want something different then give a pictorial description and we can understand what you are trying to achieve in a simple manner.

And this is why version control in software was invented. It can be a pain to setup, but invaluable once it is running


Work is full on at the moment for me, but I'll try to find some time to look at healbot and Nivaya to see what you are aiming for. I can't guarantee to help but PM if you get stuck.
Also, post oUF stuff in the dedicated forum, you are more likely to get a response there.
