TBC: Possible to Set Paging for "Possess" bar? #598

Closed crespire closed 2 years ago

crespire commented 2 years ago

Problem I am having a heck of a time figuring out how to configure my bars for the Teron Gorefiend fight in TBC Classic. Currently, the ghost possess bar ends up paging over my pet bar. As a priest, I don't typically have my pet bar bound, as I control my shadowfiend via macros.

I say "Possess" bar, as I understand this is a specific type of bar.

Suggestion What would be lovely is the ability to set a special page for "Possess" like I can with Shadowform or Spirit of Redemption. Ideally, I would like for my possess to page to Action Bar 1, so I can easily use my main keybinds for the ghost skills.

Alternatives As far as I can tell, there is actually no option for me to redirect or otherwise control how the "Possess bar" pages. I am unsure if this is an API limitation, but having the ability to page any of my main action bars to "Possess" would be sufficient.

Additional context I've been using the Steam Tonk Controller to try to configure my buttons, so I am wondering if that might help with your testing.

For what it is worth, I do have "override bar" in the settings set to Action Bar 1, but not sure if this is the same setting as what I am requesting.

The possess bar changed a bit in implementation over time.

[bonusbar:5] should be the right macro conditional for it in TBC, but I'll double-check.

Thanks. I'm still pretty new to WoW addons in terms of programming side, are you able to provide some information how I might utilize the macro conditional to achieve what I'm looking for? Would that be something you'd have to update on the LUA side as an option in terms of paging?

Thanks for the work you put in on this addon!

If you wanted to test it, you could create a macro in the game with something like this: (setting the icon to the ? one):

#showtooltip
/cast [bonusbar:5]Spell1;Spell2

Afterwards, you could place the macro on an action bar and the icon should change when in something like the Gorefiend fight. You can see more on the various macro conditionals on Wowpedia

Thanks, I will give it a go and report back!

Worth trying with 9.2.0. BCC classic now uses some different possess bar logic and should let you swap between the action bars and pet bar.

Thank you, I see that the "Override" Bar option now lets me select "Action Bar 1" so I will see how it goes this week. Haven't been put into ghosty form since week 1, so haven't had a chance to test run.

Do you know if there are any other mechanics in TBC that have the same trigger? It seems the Steam Tonk controller does not have the same trigger.

Tuller commented 2 years ago

I think most of the mechanics in early TBC will use the pet bar for possess type actions.

After some weeks, it seems that I'm stuck using the pet bar for this encounter. Thanks!
