Does this addon exist or something with similar capabilities.

[nissen]

Hi this is my first post and sorry for just bashing in like this.

I have just started testing some clicktrough regions in isboxer and its great.

One thing that i would love to do , but have not found a addon to do what i want for is the following:

I have taken the basis in the mod buffwatch to show what i want to accomplish. here is some screenshots which i hope will clarify what i want to do.





Here i have created a region which is isboxer mouse click through region for each char,so that f.ex when i click on the self buff
Ice armor on Ixena , ixena will cast this self buff on herself, and when i click on Xiphus ice armor he will cast that on himself etc.

so far so good , but i would like to have a more of a customizable bars where i can place actions in a fixed position (showing cd's for each char , also if its a ability that should be casted on the masters target , check if it is in range etc.) f.ex a button with counter spell so that i can watch the cooldown for each char and just click on that chars "counter spell" button and it will get passed through to the correct slave.

For things like iceblock f.ex i would like to right click on Xiphus and cancel his iceblock f.ex , so it should be work for both abilities,macros?,aurus ,showing cooldowns and if that char can cast that abiltiy on the masters target etc.

So here is the main question , does a mod like this exist , or a mod which has similar functionality that i can use as a starting point ,if i am not missing anything all this should be doable alltough alot of work and that is why i ask here first, so i don't start on something that is available somewhere already as a addon( or if similar functionality could be implemented in another way )

cheers.

( edit: thinking more about it , if innerspace/isboxer could show portions of another screen as a overlay on the master screen ( if at all possible ) , i could just use the standard button bars? thats alot of if's , but it would have been some super functionality )

With wow macro's a lot of this is easy to accomplish.
However you're then clicking with the keyboard.
I suppose you could use something like Domino's to place a bar somewhere, with only a button or two on it.
Which would then be clickable wherever you wanted.
Not sure if you can cancel a buff, by clicking on an action bar. Clique has actions based on unit frame clicks.
But putting a macro to cancel a specific aura on a button works too.

For example
#show Ice Block
/cancelaura Ice Block

I'm pretty sure that's the syntax for /cancel aura.
The problem with mouse clicking on the buff itself, buffs aren't always in the same position on every toon.
But you could have a button (UI Element) positioned the same for each toon.
And go with a repeater region quite easily.

I usually have self buffs on Shift D for each toon.
In a mixed group it might be...
/castsequence reset=5 Inner Fire, Null
/castsequence reset=5 Fel Armor, Null
/castsequence reset=5 Water Shield, Flametongue Weapon, Null

An addon like Smart Buff.
With a repeater region going to each client from every client over the button would work too.

Thanks for the answer , some good ideas i will use.

Didnt quite found the exact addon i was looking at so i started working on my own addon.

Its basically a button addon which:

1.Displays Auras gained,Spell Cooldowns,Ability ready for all toons on a button( this will get synced between all clients running this mod ).
2.Be able to hook up macros to that button.( so f.ex a proc can light up when on in a fixed position and then i can l/rclick it to perform a macro.
3.Show as button rows , 1 for each toon and it should be placed the same on all screens( so that it is simple to create repeater regions )

A screen to show how this alpha mod works:


A video where i shows its usage , should make it abit clearer what i want to do.

This is still very alpha and not really ready for public yet , missing options dialogs , config options and sortof hackis at places , but if there is some interest in the idea of a mod like this , i can try to polish it up for a public release.

I like that it shows several abilities with cooldowns, and what the cooldowns are for the others, on your main window.

It seems to take up a fair bit of screen real estate.
Perhaps if you could scale the size.
I suppose I've gone with UI Scale on mine, so everything seems smaller but I have a lot more screen real estate.

Cheers , will look at having it all scaled in the config, the buttons are way to big now :P, but nice for testing atm. other things i was thinking about to save some screen estate and would be to remove the name column atleast and find a way to define how you group of buttons.( 1 row for each char , or 3x3 rows for each etc. should be configurable. )

Another thing i am looking at now is to make the buttons cue you in a better way, imitating how blizz shows buffs running out, visual flash on the buttons when spell or aura is "on" are ready. even adding sounds should be possible(ofcourse it should be configurable. ) . also i should add a cooldown timer for the buffs ( they just show if they are available or not atm ).

Anyways i will try to polish it a bit and fix it up so that it is configurable and ready for alpha testing :P

edit: played abit with the scale ( lowest scale ingame and sat my buttons to 0.75 of that again )

[Ualaa]

You have a ton of real estate with UI scale set that way.
I'm running wow at 1600x2560 with UI Scale almost all the way across.

As long as the window is big enough to differentiate the buttons from each other.
And can be made larger/smaller, so you can read everything when learning it...
Or shrink it once you've read all the options.
It will work out well.

This really looks nice!

I would love to have this addon imo, hope you keep developing it so you can modify the look n feel a lot.

Gj man

I'd definitely use this if it saw the light of day.

I am cleaning up the code now and working on the configuration options , so hopefully i can get something out during the weekend
