ToolTip [OFF] During Combat

[Ataxia]

Would one of you wonderfully brilliant people making mods make an option to turn the darn tooltip off in combat?

There's nothing worse than getting blinded by some tooltip popping up when you're trying to target someone to heal/damage them.

Thanks much.

ive uploaded an addon called "Combat Hide Tooltip" to the Ace: Combat section: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/cat74.html

in combat = no mouseover or player,pet,party, or raid tooltips
out of combat = tooltips visible normally.

itll still show ability (spells on action bars) tooltips.. wasnt sure if you wanted those shown or not.

[Ataxia]

That's exactly what I wanted, sans spell tool tips.

Can you add an option to turn on/off the spell tips? I know my icons by heart, but I realize that some may not.

Thank for your excellent skills.

[xbjim]

yeah, ill add that in right now.


edit; v1.1 is up!

[Ataxia]

Getting closer...

It works, but too good.

When you turn the options on, it turns off tooltips whether in combat or not.

It needs to turn off tooltips when in combat, not all the time.

doh, i think i forgot to change the inCombat flag back to false ;[



edit; 1.1a should be up soon, please let me know if its fixed.. im not able to login right now :[

[Ataxia]

Don't suppose you'd be able to update that mod... I miss it dearly.

Well, the logic flows that are done in the scripting can still be accomplished.

1. Combat Yes/No

If no, do nothing.

2. Target Yes/No.

If No, do nothing.

If yes then (3)

3. Is target hostile (I know XPerl Unit Frames show hostile or friendly via colors, so there must be an available 'hook') Yes/No

If No, do nothing

If yes, then (4)

4. Attack.


I can work the logic flows, but I'm not familiar enough with XML to put my thoughts into programming code.

1) Makes sure you enter combat when you use an offensive spell or ability on a target. 2) When you are attacked, you will enter melee combat with the aggressor 3) If you are attacked by multiple opponents, on the death of one you will immediately target and attack the new one. No forgetting between spells!

you cant control the attack action (UseAction or StartAttack)

the only way i could think of it being possible is with a macro like:

/startattack [nocombat,exists,harm]
/cast ability

but it would have to be for every ability you would want it to use and would only work when you use one of those macros.

Understood.

Again, I thank you very much for the plugin, as it works great.

Merry Xmas.

np, merry christmas to you too!
