CooldownWatch

Version: 4.1

by: SDPhantom [More]

This is a very simple, very small AddOn, that displays a numerical value on cooldowns and the Buff/DeBuff display on the target frame.

Durations are color-coded by units of time.
White for Seconds
Yellow for Minutes
Orange for Hours

Version 4.0 has been rewritten again to take advantage of native cooldown text.
Note: Due to the way the native text is handled in C code, the format cannot be changed.

I'm open to questions and suggestions. Feel free to message me here or post in the comments.
I'm also available for support on the WoWUIDev Discord, @mention me (SDPhantom) or send a DM.

Returning to WoW and fixed an issue with the CooldownFrame that's used in the PvP group finder as an honor meter.

personally I love the idea of expanding blizz's cooldown option to other frames like target & focus buffs/debuffs

The method used to make sure this addon works with all custom UIs makes it difficult if not impossible for it to tell the difference between one CoolDown frame and another.

The only way I can think of is to check the duration of a cooldown and only act if it's greater than the length of the GCD. If I remember right, the GCD is 1.5 seconds, so if you find the following line and add the condition as noted, this should apply the desired effect.

Target line: (around line 52)

Code:

if start~=nil and duration~=nil then
	ptr[1]=start;
	ptr[2]=duration;
end

Change to the following:

Code:

if start~=nil and duration~=nil and duration>1.5 then
	ptr[1]=start;
	ptr[2]=duration;
end

I suppose you can add ptr:SetTextHeight(24); after ptr:SetPoint("TOP");
As a reference to the number used for the font height, NumberFontNormalSmall is 12, NumberFontNormal is 14, NumberFontNormalLarge is 16, and NumberFontNormalHuge is 30.

This addon will show the text for any cooldown timer when the timer starts, even on potions.

Oh geez, if that's true this would be a miracle! lol seriously, I love the idea Is it updated/still working?

I still use it and it seems to work fine.
The game doesn't start the cooldown on potions until you're out of combat.
Blizzard's change didn't seem to affect this addon at all.
The timer will appear and count down as normal when the cooldown starts.
