Hello All, I have a question about unitframe addons. Is there any addon that will allow me to display my toons in a specific order on every client?

The issue I am having is when I get into a BG, I am not always the leader, and my toons don't always end up in the same group. Also, I don't need to see all the other toons in the BG. I would like to come up with a solution where no matter which client I am controlling, my party unitframes will always read something like... (bold is the toon I am controlling)

Controlling Toon1
Toon1, Toon2, Toon3, Toon4

Swapped PiP/FTL to Toon2
Toon1, Toon2, Toon3, Toon4

Swapped PiP/FTL to Toon3
Toon1, Toon2, Toon3, Toon4

Swapped PiP/FTL to Toon4
Toon1, Toon2, Toon3, Toon4

Hopefully I am making sense. The idea would be keys 1-4 would be Healtoon1, Healtoon2, etc on ALL clients regardless of which one I am actually controllling. In BGs there is little time to fumble around with switching targets, etc. I need to be able to quickly identify which toon needs healing and then heal it.

Any Idea?

Thanks.

OpenRDX can do this, I think Grid can, healbot maybe...

I use OpenRDX with Brethern Raid Frames. Keeps all my unitframes identical and placed in the same on all 5 clients, lets me click-heal perfectly with mouse broadcasting.

I use pitbull to sort them alphabetically. The only thing I don't like about it really is not being able to use party macros cause it's never the same order as my unit frames.

You can do this with Grid + GridCustomLayouts.

/Grid Config
Layout >> Custom Layouts >> New

Use the format:
nameList="ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD,ToonE"

I use "order=NAME;" to sort alphabetically.

I think Jafula is goiong to release it's JAMBA 0.5 very soon, and this version will include a way to invite toon and order them as wanted in the "partyX" pattern..

Can't wait for that
