Seals

[Kendian]

Why don't paladin's seals show up as buffs anymore? Is there any way to make them do so again?

[Phanx]

Monk stances are the same way.

They're not actually buffs, so you can't make them appear as buffs, unless you're willing to do a lot of hacking to make whatever buff display you're using support fake buffs, which is probably more effort than it's worth. It'd be way easier to just add an icon on your unitframe or something.

I use Phanx buffs. I suppose it would be easier to just add a small indicator to UF. Anyone have an idea what script (for KGPanels), that would make a panel appear based on a buff that doesn't exist?

For what it's worth, Raven shows Pally seals without a hitch.

All seals are stances and here's the list for you.
In your scripts just check for stance number and do stuff such as KGPanelName:Show() or KGPanelName:Hide() depending on which stance it is.

Just keybind and get used to them, no indication needed.

Seriously.

That's because Raven shows things that aren't actually auras... it probably shows tracking abilities, too.

It does, but only if you want to see them.

That's not the aim....the bar is fine hidden...or it WAS, but with no indication of which stance im in? Being a clicker, I need either the bar or the buff, preferably the buff. I'm trying to muddle my way thru Cirax's suggestion (call a panel based on stance). What's funny, is I'm doing all this for whats probably going to be a very small icon/indicator on my UF, because I need the visual cue.

Nibelheim wrote out a script for me to do this exact thing, with a small amount of tweaking ( I hope) I should be able to stop bothering all you fine people. My thanks, for all the help~

Or just re-add the stance bar, but that might take up too much space.

I'm also constantly struggling with auras since MoP even though I like to consider myself a pretty good paladin. I keep forgetting to switch seals after an AOE pack, or worst of all after mind control when the boss sneakily changes your aura. >_<

I've been trying to make an intelligent reminder script that tells you which seal to use depending on the fight, but it's virtually impossible to know when you need to use AOE on a boss fight unless you make a gigantic DBM-like addon.

Exactly for this reason i made a tag that shows "Aoe" as text on my UF.. wich means if that text is up im having my aoe seal on.. works for me :P

Have you tried a swapactionbar macro?

/swapactionbar 1 2
/cast [actionbar:1] !Seal of Command; !Seal of Truth

[Phanx]

Please use [code] tags around your code. >_<

What do you expect each of those scripts to do, and what are they actually doing? Also, why are you posting for help with kgPanels scripts in a month-old thread about buff addons?

[Kendian]

I was actually trying to script a panel (KGPanels) that would show when I had a seal on. The second was just wondering why showing a panel when your in combat, and hiding it when out, no longer worked. Or, at least it doesn't work after you reload, it always shows.

You deleted your original post, so I'm not entirely sure whether you cared which seal was active or not, but this will show you the icon of whichever seal is active, or a red square if you don't have a seal:

OnLoad:

self.textures = {
    [1] = "Interface\\Icons\\Spell_Holy_SealOfVengeance", -- Seal of Truth
    [2] = "Interface\\Icons\\Spell_Holy_RighteousnessAura", -- Seal of Righteousness
    [3] = "Interface\\Icons\\Spell_Holy_HealingAura", -- Seal of Insight
}

self.icon = self:CreateTexture(nil, "ARTWORK")
self.icon:SetAllPoints(true)
self.icon:SetTexCoord(0.06, 0.94, 0.06, 0.94) -- to trim the ugly icon border

self:RegisterEvent("UPDATE_SHAPESHIFT_FORM")

local seal = GetShapeshiftForm()
seal = seal and self.textures[seal]
return seal and self.icon:SetTexture(seal) or self.icon:SetTexture(1, 0, 0)

OnEvent:

local seal = GetShapeshiftForm()
seal = seal and self.textures[seal]
return seal and self.icon:SetTexture(seal) or self.icon:SetTexture(1, 0, 0)

On my level 60 prot paladin, GetShapeshiftForm() returns:

1. Truth
2. Righteousness
3. Insight

I'm not sure where ret paladins' Seal of Justice fits in, so if you're ret, you should double-check what GetShapeshiftForm() returns for each of your seals, and update the textures table accordingly.

OnLoad:

self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")
return UnitAffectingCombat("player") and self:Show() or self:Hide()

OnEvent:

return UnitAffectingCombat("player") and self:Show() or self:Hide()
