[REQUEST] Yellow click for spell thing.

[Mirdamor]

Hello World Of Warcraft Addon makers.

The image below pretty much explain everything. It would be a complement to the basic Blizzard UI and not very light.

How to use it: Simple right-click and the bar will pop up above the mob you clicked and select the spell you want to cast(Hello cpn. obvious).

I'm not really sure if this is possible. You can however do this with mouseover macro's, such as:

#showtooltip
/cast [@focus, mod:ctrl][@player, mod:shift][@mouseover,help][@mouseovertarget,help][help][@targettarget,help][] Hand of Protection

Maybe it can be done with rightclick and GetMouseFocus() ?

Do a check if it's a player and then move and show a hidden created buffbar to the mouse which is rehidden when a/all buffs is cast?

Well, if you say it's impossible that's a let down. : (

It wouldn't be possible in combat, is that correct? You can not update frames with clickable buttons during combat. That really would take any of the practicality away from this.

You would not be able to update the buttons in combat. You dont really need to though. If the buttons are predetermined based on type of target then all you need to have done in combat is a show/hideing of the bar which is possible in combat. different bars would have to be made for different types of targets. As for it being able to determine things and update the bar on the fly no, not possible at least not in combat. Which is why when the game loads it would h ave to determine what class you are what spec you are and build the bars then based on a big library of all the spells for every class/spec. Like i said... i think its doable but far from lightweight or easy lol.

this might be possible but it would be far from lightweight. In order to make those buttons work they would have to be written in secure code so that they still worked in combat. Also a huge library would have to be written to handle that bar knowing what spells to put on the buttons based on what you are targeting and what class you are, what level you are and what spec and everything else.

Also the tricky part would be making the bar follow moving targets, i would look at the nameplate system and maybe think about tying this into the nameplate system or at least attempt to use the methods found there for keeping the bar over the initial target.

Can I learn from some wall of text of how to do this with a program of some kind?
