Range Alpha

[wellbeing]

My apologies if this is already stated on the forums somewhere, i did a few searched and came up with no useful info.

I've added Var: InRange? to my variables.

I've added a Conditional Alpha Shader below my base frame.


It works, but the frame doesnt refresh. (won't change alpha unless i manually re-target.)

i added a multiplexer to the window, but its still not working. I dont really know how the multiplexer works..

can anyway write out the the steps for a range alpha?

I'm not ssure why it would not update, my grid is setup with a conditional alpha, but I do not use Multiplexer Parameters, I use Periodic Repaint with a repaint all of 0.03.

I think there was some bug (or feature? that this var works only for units in your raid roster.

But I'm not sure :\

i'm still not getting it to work. it appears to NOT be a conditional alpha problem, but rather an inRange? problem..

im not doing it right. I looked in your grid unitframe and saw how you did it, but found it a bit confusing.

in what section is the range alpha being dealt with? [Indicators]?

how does Vars Range fit in to the equation?

ps - at the moment, i'm trying to do the conditional alpha on the [TARGET] unitframe.

aww nutz.

any confirmation on this?

I'll see if I can get something working for you but I can tell you right now that the multiplexer throttles how often the events are fired for that window. Since there is no range event it would not tell make the window update any faster. The best option would probably be adding a periodic repaint to the window instead. That will force the window to update every x seconds.

If you add the periodic repaint you can get rid of the multiplexer as the entire frame will be re-drawn every x seconds with or without events being fired.

Hope that cleared up a bit on the multiplexer confusion.

it certainly did.

however, it hasnt given me the knowledge to fix the problem. I've got the same alignment for my raid and party frames, and when i used the repainter, as unlimit suggested, they worked very well.

target and arena frames, however.. will not work. this is something i'd really like to remedy.

Hello,

About multiplexer, see this good post :

The condition "Var: In range" only work with your raid members.
Do not apply on target.

Cheers

Is there anyone out there who can write a script that will make inrange variables for target?

This is not exactly what you are looking for, but it is a solution for target, focus and mouseover range monitoring, involving getting a different addon.

The addon is called RangeDisplay.

It seems to work by catching events that cause your action bar abilities to turn red from out of ranging and uses these events to estimate your range to the target, giving you a minimum and maximum amount of yards. Useful when you have multiple abilities with different ranges (e.g. fireblast and fireball).
