NEED FOCUS FRAME #54

Closed rc4p closed 4 years ago

obble commented 4 years ago

yes

baruchvlz commented 4 years ago

I don't think focus frames are possible in Classic. You can read the README on this repository: https://github.com/wardz/FocusFrame

Edit: It might be possible with a custom nameplate, but there is no keybind option for this in Classic so it might have to be added to the UI as well.

Ah, that's a shame - I was kind of hoping they'd left open the possibility with a 'focus' unitid with the client ported from retail. It looks like libraries like oUF have also dropped support for it.

How do you see the nameplate idea working? I could see it if unitids for nameplates weren't dropped at a range of 20-30yards

Sorry I meant to say UnitFrames not nameplates. You could possibly add an extra option to the UnitFrame "Focus" (as it is in retail). Will have to store the UnitID so you can keep track of health, buffs, debuffs, power, etc.

But then again, if libraries like uOF and FocusFrame (which was amazing in pvt servers) are dropping support, then the overhead work might be too much.

The problem is there isn't a way to grab or use this information in combat without causing taint thanks to the new lua sandbox.

This is something Blizzard needs to address as they have frankly broken part of the vanilla experience.

i mean, having a focus frame wasn't part of the vanilla experience d:

i'm going to close this for now, it seems unlikely i'll be adding this in the near future with the current systems in place

Addons that literally played the game for you were part of the vanilla experience though ;-)
