travel form to cat stance

[gmarco]

Hi all,
is there an addon or it will be possible to code an addon that when I am playing my druid and I cast the travel form (being indoor where it is not possible) it automatically change to the cat form instead of the human form so I get at least a minor benefit bonus on speed ?

I know that it could be easily done by a macro, but I really like to continue to use the standard stance bar.

P.s.
Another question could also be: May I use a macro in the standard stance bar ?

Thanks.

This is an extremely experimental hack, but should provide the effect you want.

if select(2,UnitClass("player"))~="DRUID" then return; end--    Don't run if not a druid
local WatchFrame=CreateFrame("Frame",nil,nil,"SecureHandlerStateTemplate");--   Create State Driver
WatchFrame:SetFrameRef("StanceButton",StanceButton3);-- Link StanceButton3
WatchFrame:SetAttribute("_onstate-form","self:GetFrameRef('StanceButton'):SetID(newstate)");--  Set ID of StanceButton to whatever 'form' state is set to
RegisterStateDriver(WatchFrame,"form","[indoors] 2; 3");--  Register 'form' state to swap when we go indoors/outdoors

The action and stance bars don't use the SecureActionButtonTemplate, so they can't be reconfigured to run custom macros without using up macro slots. The stance bar being non-configurable at all in that respect. The code I posted exploits the fact the stance buttons' OnClick handler references each button's ID, so that's manipulated to toggle which form is used. This is done with secure code and a state driver to make sure taint isn't an issue.

Notes:
- The button texture doesn't change to reflect which form is configured. This is because only the OnClick handler references the button's ID, not the update function. This could be fixed with more code, but at this point, it's just a proof of concept.
- The client and server briefly argue indoors/outdoors when transitioning between them. Be sure to allow a few seconds to pass before activating the button.

The stance bar is just another bar that appears. It is just like any other bar, you can move things around.

Hi,
I was able to move the stance bar but not to put a macro in its buttons.
Am I miss something ?

Thanks anyway for your kind reply...

Hi SDPhantom,
it works like a charm ...

I have put on the top of my rActionBar_Gm addon and it works great.

I have changed a little bit only to works with other classes because otherwhise the if not druid returned and the other part of the addon was not executed...

-- Based on:
-- rActionBar_Default: layout
-- zork, 2016
 
-- Default Bar Layout for rActionBar

local A, L = ...
 
-- Don't run if not a druid
-- code by SDPhantom

if select(2,UnitClass("player"))=="DRUID" then
--  Create State Driver
    local WatchFrame = CreateFrame("Frame",nil,nil,"SecureHandlerStateTemplate") 
    WatchFrame:SetFrameRef("StanceButton",StanceButton3) -- Link StanceButton3
    WatchFrame:SetAttribute("_onstate-form","self:GetFrameRef('StanceButton'):SetID(newstate)") -- Set ID of StanceButton to whatever 'form' state is set to
    RegisterStateDriver(WatchFrame,"form","[indoors] 2; 3") --  Register 'form' state to swap when we go indoors/outdoors
end
 
-- etc etc ---

The buttons texture change accordingly. So I press travel form, enter in cat form and the cat form texture "used" is shown. So it is correct

Thanks so much again.
