Description:
This addon enhances the CT_RaidAssist MT Targets group by adding an optional MT Players
group and an optional MT Pets group. It can also show the raid target icons assigned to
the main tank's target and target's target.
The MT Players group shows you the name, health, mana, and buffs of the main tanks. The
MT Pets group shows you the name, health, and mana of the pets (or mind controlled mobs)
belonging to the main tanks.
You can have the MT Players and MT Pets groups automatically hide when the MT Targets
group is hidden, or you can allow them to remain on the screen.
You can hide the entire MT Pets group if none of the main tanks have a pet. You can also
hide individual MT Pets boxes if the corresponding main tank does not have a pet.
The MT groups can be joined together so that they all line up, or you can separate them so
that they can be moved independently. When joined, you can move all of the MT groups around
at the same time by left clicking on an MT group title and dragging it with the mouse.
Unjoined MT groups can either be left where you drag them, or the other MT groups can
automatically align themselves with the title of the one you just dragged. You can move all
of the unjoined MT groups around at the same time by holding the shift key down, left clicking
on an MT group title, and dragging it with the mouse.
A right click menu has been added to each of the MT Targets, MT Players, and MT Pets group
titles that will let you configure the various options, and hide or show each of the MT groups.
Due to changes Blizzard made to the UI system in WoW 2.0, there are some restrictions on
what can be done while in combat. For example, it is no longer possible for the addon to move or
resize the new secure buttons. As a result of this, a number of menu items on the right click
menu will be unavailable during combat. You will have to wait until you are out of combat
before you can select those menu items.
Also, if the MT groups are joined when you enter combat, you can only use one of the MT group
titles to drag the joined groups (all of the groups will move as one). The default draggable group title
will be the MT Targets group title unless you have hidden that group, in which case the addon
will choose one of the other visible MT group titles.
Key bindings are available that will allow you to target MT Players 1 to 10, and MT Pets 1 to 10.
Notes:
This addon requires the CT_RaidAssist addon and has been tested using CT_RaidAssist 1.621.
The addon may (or may not) work with older or newer versions of CT_RaidAssist due
to the number of CT_RaidAssist functions and variables that are used.
