@ HPVAC:

What you describe sounds like it's looking into my gameplay and finding how fast i'm spamming based on what I am doing ingame... My idea was to get a button that flashes automatically twice per second so that I can see the flashing button and try to match my spam rate to its flash rate.

@ Fenril:

I found a couple websites like the one you refer to, and they all get the job done. The audible click works really well for me, but my idea here was to keep sound options open for music or movies while farming dailies or grinding heroics, and instead have a flashing dot/button in the game interface somewhere.




Dang...

So I just spent some time looking into writing addons, and going through the HelloWorld demo addon setup and stuff to make it work. I am not a programmer by any stretch of the term, and my respect for people like Jafula who write addons that actually work and do a ton of different stuff has increased many, many times over.

One thing I still don't know: are addons allowed to perform periodically repeating functions automatically, like flashing a button repeatedly until I turn it off? I haven't seen this in any addons before and I want to be as sure as I can be that this function doesn't violate the rules we live by (ToS/EULA)
