ImpliedTarget

Version: 1.3.16

by: Vrul [More]

This addon only works with action buttons provided by the default UI. Support for other action bar addons may be found in the Other Files tab.

Macros allow you to change the ability that you use based on whether your target is friend or foe. This addon allows you to do the opposite, change the target of an ability based on whether that ability is harmful or helpful. Support for custom paging of the main action bar is also provided (may be disabled by another addon).

Anyone with several macros similar to:

/cast [harm, nodead] [@targettarget, harm, nodead] [@mouseover, harm, nodead] [@pettarget, nodead] HarmfulSpell

or

/cast [@mouseover, help, nodead] [help, nodead] [@targettarget, help, nodead] [@player] HelpfulSpell

can instead set up a targeting priority and apply it to all of your action buttons without wasting a single macro.

To further enhance your mouseover targeting, two additional options are provided. @unitframe can be used in place of @mouseover to target a unit only if it is a unit frame. Similarly, @unitmodel can be used to target only units that are in the 3D world.

Note: Target behavior is only changed for spells and items placed directly into an action button.

Translators: To submit a translation please just edit an existing file (ImpliedTarget\Locales.lua or ImpliedTarget_Config\Locales\deDE.lua) and send it to me.

Developers: If you would like to make ImpliedTarget work with your addon then see the API below and look at how it was done for other addons in the Other Files tab.

API (these functions may be called in combat, but their effects won't happen until combat has ended)

ImpliedTarget.DisableKeyBinding()

Forces ImpliedTarget to disable it's key binding code and allow it to be garbage collected. Only call this if your addon will be providing this functionality.

ImpliedTarget.DisablePaging()

Forces ImpliedTarget to disable it's paging code for the primary action bar and allow it to be garbage collected. Only call this if your addon will be providing this functionality.

ImpliedTarget.AddButton(button [, bind])

Allow ImpliedTarget to alter the behavior of an action button.

Arguments:

button - (table or string) An action button or name of an action button.

bind - (string) The name of the key bind for the action button.

Returns:

button - (table or nil) If successful the action button is returned, otherwise nil.

ImpliedTarget.RemoveButton(button)

Prevent ImpliedTarget from altering the behavior of an action button.

Arguments:

button - (table or string) An action button or name of an action button.

Returns:

button - (table or nil) The action button if it was removed, nil if the action button had not been previously added.

I'm also working on a way to modify spells individually but its still not quite ready.

Sounds great! While you're at it, you may want to consider adding some spells to the 'rez' category. For instance, Misdirection (hunter) and Leap of Faith (priest) are 'help' spells that cannot be cast on self and thus are functionally equivalent to resurrection spells. (Strictly speaking, the category should no longer be called 'rez' in this case, but that's not really an issue imo).

Also a minor point: I like to end 'help' macro's with [@target] as this prevents the spell from 'readying' when you have no target available (the cursor lights up and clicking on a unit casts the spell) and warns me that I have no target selected. This doesn't work with ImpliedTarget, however; spells again ready when I have no target. Is this intended? Could it be changed easily?

Currently if no targets match then it passes on to Blizzard's code (for future compatibility). I may change it so that it doesn't pass on to Blizzard's code and then add an option for allowing the glowing cursor if no target matches.

I can't see any button for it, and /impliedtarget returns the usual "Type /help for a listing of a few commands." message. Am I missing something obvious?

Am I missing something obvious?

First make sure ImpliedTarget is enabled (Main Menu -> AddOns -> ImpliedTarget). Next, go in game with ImpliedTarget enabled and run these commands in game (separately):

Code:

/run print(LibStub)
/run print(LibStub("LibOptionsAssist-1.1", true))
/run print(ImpliedTarget)

You should see something similar to the following if all is good:

Code:

table: 000001C6FCD0C7A0
table: 000001C6FCE1BE90 3
table: 000001C6FD9E1440

If the third one shows as "nil" then ImpliedTarget didn't even try to load and is likely disabled. If you don't see those "table" returns for all three then you may need to delete the ImpliedTarget folder and reinstall it as something is missing.

If everything looked good above then get an addon for errors (AmberAlert, BugSack, or Bugger (last two require !BugGrabber) and report any errors here.

table: 000001C6FCE1BE90 3
table: 000001C6FD9E1440

All three commands ran fine and returned values similar to what you stated,

[19:47] table: 000001D4A70A4620
[19:47] table: 000001D4BEFE7A60 3
[19:47] table: 000001D4BF4D01D0

I can see ImpliedTarget is loaded 'cause it has memory usage (About 176KB, according to my client) I can't imagine it would be relevant, but Swatter catches an error about the ElvUI compatability plugin regarding paging.lua, line 70, but even if I disable all addons but ImpliedTarget the behaviour still persists (albeit without the paging.lua error)

The only addon I couldn't disable was Addon Control Panel, as it doesn't have the option to actually disable itself, is there any other information I could provide?

I know that LibStub and LibOptionsAssist-1.1 are running based on the test you already ran. Is your ImpliedTarget_Config folder missing? Try running this command in game:

Code:

/run print(GetAddOnInfo("ImpliedTarget_Config"))

If the addon is missing it will look like this:

Code:

ImpliedTarget_Config nil nil false MISSING INSECURE false

That does indeed appear to be the case, I must have extracted the addon wrong originally somehow, thanks for helping me diagnose the issue

Re: Binding to mouse bouton 3, 4 and 5 not working

Not sure the problem is related to the addon. I have the exact same problem with custom macro, doesn't work with key bind to mouse 4 and 5.

Unfortunately keyboard and mouse input are very different things when it comes to unit frames. In order to make mouse input work for unit frames I would have to basically reproduce Clique within ImpliedTarget (which I am not going to do). Small consolation, those binds will still work for units in the 3D world.

Jaedra A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Hi, First I just wanted to say thank you so much for this addon. I have been using it for a couple of months, and I absolutely love it. Everything was working fantastic for a while, but today when I went to open the options to change a setting, I noticed that the options panel under Interface > AddOns is blank. For reference, I am using ElvUI and I have the following addons folders: ImpliedTarget ImpliedTarget_Config ImpliedTarget_ElvUI The first thing I did was update ElvUI, as there was one out there that I was missing. Then I redownloaded your addon and the ElvUI addon and overwrote what was in my /AddOns folder. Still no luck. When I open the interface options from the menu, or type /impliedtarget in game, the right hand panel is blank. I was reading through the comments here and per your recommendation to another poster, I used the following command in game: Code: /run print(GetAddOnInfo("ImpliedTarget_Config")) Which did indeed return: Code: ImpliedTarget_Config nil nil false MISSING INSECURE false I'm not sure where to go from here, as the folders do exist. Any suggestions would be appreciated, or please let me know if there are further diagnostic steps I could take. Thank you so much!

Are you sure the folders are nested properly? They should be at the same level:

WoW\Interface\AddOns\ImpliedTarget

WoW\Interface\AddOns\ImpliedTarget_Config

You know how your habilites auto-aquire a target if you have none? (like if you are close to a target as a warrior and cast Mortal strike, it will target the nearest enemy and try to cast mortal strike). Well, implied target now is disabling this option for me. It will not auto-aquire a target anymore. Dunno what may be causing this. I even set the Harm to Never consider mouse over.
