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])

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.

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 found what was causing the Paging.lua error on line 70 and that is also why you can't see options. That error occurs if the options panel and slash command were not created due to either not finding LibStub, LibOptionsAssist-1.1, or the addon ImpliedTarget_Config.

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

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?

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.

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

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'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.

I did an extensive change for BfA just for GTAoE abilities and there should be a GTAoE tab to change their behavior.

sumoren A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Why not available in curse/twitch Hi, really like your addon. It's exactly what I was looking for. I was searching on alternative to writing a lot of copy/pasta macro and found a 2015 forum post about this addon. Without this really old post I would not found your addon since by default I'm using curse (now twitch client) to get/update my addons. Is there a reason why your addon is not available in the twitch client? I'm pretty sure a lot of people are missing this addon because they don't look elsewhere for addon.

Just out of curiosity: where does this difference stem from? It seems to me that maintaining the addon would be less work if it didn't require updating spell lists with expansions/patches.

In a secure snippet I was getting the spell ids from the second return of GetActionInfo and then running it through IsHarmfulSpell or IsHelpfulSpell. Since both return nil for spells that are both harmful and helpful (like Penance) I decided to manually add those spells as "harm/help." While going through every ability for every class I decided to add everything that has a unit target.

Some time later (not sure when), Blizzard removed the ability to pass spell ids to IsHarmfulSpell and IsHelpfulSpell and now they only take spell names. There is no way to get a spell name from a spell id in the secure environment on the fly, so I decided to keep my hard coded lists.
