Shag's HealSync

This is the official discussion thread for HealSync

great mod Shag :-)

keep up the good work.
--edit--
ever considered having the option to lock targets?

So you can track heals on more than just your current target?

I installed all the folders which came with the mod, but i have having dificulty getting it to work like the screen shot. I get two bars on my screen, one says "HealSync target" and the other "HealSync player". When i cast a heal on a raid member, i can sorta see a progress bar behind the bar that says "HealSync target" on it, but it is in the background and barely noticable. When I cast a heal while another member casts a heal I still only see one progress bar, which is still almost impossible to even see in the background. Just wondering if you could help me out with this

If you do decide to add an options menu in the future I'd like the ability to monitor only specific classes ie Priests healing on a target. Also would like to be able to move the enable/disable button.

Very useful mod for healer class leaders!

The blue ring button is a toggle button. You press it once, you go into the 'edit' mode, then you can move the frames and then press the button again to hide the black frames.

When you're in a raid, you won't see healing spells cast by players who are in the same group as you due to combatlog limitations, unless the other healers use HealSync, too. I don't know if it works in normal parties though.

Hi, this is a really nice mob, but i've got problems to search my healing time in such short time.
Is it possible to set my bar in a different color and always in 1st position?

Thanks
Sargträger, Blackmoore

In 0.1.4.0, your castingbar will be colored red

Tazmanyak · 06-03-06, 06:38 AM

added french translation

Cool ^^
So i can test it without having 2 weeks of work lol

Thank you, i will give you any drawbak i can

O------------------------------------------------------O

Next, as i am not a programmer, but just a hard user, i cant give you code for the mouseover ...
I would really like your addon to work with and for passive healing, without targeting ....

Here is an addon i use to announce cast, and it works with mouseover ... ie i send my Spell target name in chat.
This addon is Ep_AnnounceCast.Easy Priest : AnnounceCast

In lua i found:

self:RegisterEvent("UPDATE_MOUSEOVER_UNIT", "EventMouseOver")

if not self.SpellData.target then
if UnitName("target") and UnitIsFriend("player", "target") and
((self.SpellData.name == EP_ANNOUNCECAST.SHIELD and (UnitInRaid('target') or UnitInParty('target')))
or (self.SpellData.name ~= EP_ANNOUNCECAST.SHIELD)) then
self.SpellData.target = "target"
else
self.SpellData.target = "mouseover"
end
end

if self.SpellData.target ~= "mouseover" then
self.SpellData.targetName = UnitName(self.SpellData.target)
end

And

function EP_AnnounceCast:EventMouseOver()
if SpellIsTargeting() then
self.SpellData.targetName = UnitName("mouseover")
end
end

I hope this will help you ... if it doesn't ... bah i will try to find something else ^^

Hello. I was wondering how i could change the castingbars to grow upwards?
Atleast it seems simple but i dont have that much experience on these things

It must be in the IFrameManager.lua i suppose?

Good addon, i find it very usefull when tryeing to land those slow druid heals

Open HealSync.lua, around line 230, you'll find this:

Code:

frame:ClearAllPoints()
if (parent == dockFrame) then
    frame:SetPoint("TOP", parent, "TOP", 0, 0)
else
    frame:SetPoint("TOP", parent, "BOTTOM", 0, 2)
end

replace "TOP" with "BOTTOM" and vice versa...

Very nice mod in my testing so far! Awesome work. Some questions

- Is it possible to get detection for healers in the same party as you? I noticed it only detected heals from those outside your party during a raid.

- Possible to track multiple targets?

JoshBorke · 06-15-06, 04:37 PM

can't track healers in your party due to the way spell events are fired

It tracks all possible targets, but displays only the heals to your current target.

wereHamster · 08-24-06, 04:39 AM

I just updated HealSync, the new version is in the ace svn repo. I'll let the folks on CG beta-test it and once the major bugs are fixed (not that I expect any) I'll upload it here to WoWI.

If you can't wait, get it from svn, you'll need these two addons:

http://svn.wowace.com/root/trunk/HealSync
http://svn.wowace.com/root/trunk/IFrameManager

wereHamster · 08-26-06, 03:15 AM

Now that the ace svn is for developers only and closed to the public, I've uploaded the newest version here.

enjoy

You posted above that it tracks all heals. Does it allow you to see heals on players other than your current target? It would have very limited usefulness if all you can see is your target.

This addon was not designed for click-casters..

Hilly · 08-31-06, 08:39 AM

I'm actually not a click caster. But lets say I have MT B targeted. I notice MT A is getting beat on. Right now I would have to click back and forth between them to track who is healing them and if I need to heal them.

Also what about mods like Groupbuttons, Benecast, etc. That's not click casting but it is using the script to specify the target.

It's your mod, so it's cool if you disagree with me. I'm just suggestion it might be an option people would like to see.

Keriana · 08-31-06, 09:53 AM

This is something I'd *really* like as well. I need the ability to watch multiple targets and to ensure they're getting healing. If the information is already being collected, then adding a display seems like a natural next step. Just need to be able to have a window and set it to a Target (or targets) to watch.

We even have non-healers in the guild that wouuld like to be able to watch this.

Would love it if you could add it to the mod.

As an interesting aside - while I don't generally use my mouse to heal, I have been since installing this mod simply so that I could semi-watch two targets at once.

Would also love the ability to scale the displays, whether or not you add in watching multiple targets.

Thanks in advance.

I'd like to take a moment to plug my addon (with wereHamster's permission) called HealWatch http://www.wowinterface.com/download...php?s=&id=4732
