ImpliedTarget  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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 working on a fix for that and doppler's issue as well.

Hi Vrul, just here to report that Chi Wave (just like Chi Burst) isn't a targeted ability (i.e. it works without a target) and thus should be removed from the action list (it's a Monk ability). Thanks again.

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.
That is mostly likely a side-effect of the change to get rid of the glowing cursor unless manual targeting is selected.

I'm not really sure the best way to add it back, maybe change the manual option to a drop-down to select manual targeting or Blizzard default behavior?
oh. well, all I can say is that auto targeting is a deal breaker for me, specially in AoE. it sucks to be killing a target just so I notice that im not attacking anyone anymore because my target died.

Oh my gosh, it was that simple! For some reason config was disabled. I don't recall ever having disabled it, but I must have somewhere along the line without realizing it.

Thank you so much! When I loaded config from the Addons menu, everything works great.

Hi, thanks for the fast reply! Yes, they are at the same level like you describe.

If it helps, this is what BugSack is reporting:

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!

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.

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.

With the same button on the action bar if I use a alternate key bind it work, but the mouse button 4 and 5.
