TauntMaster

Version: 4.1.1

by: prodigy [More]

TM can be customized to your needs. Click the minimap button or type /tauntmaster or /tm to open the menu.

TauntMaster is a threat-management addon. It automatically displays a button/healthbar for every member of your party or raid.
If the party/raid member begins to gain more threat than the tank, their button turns yellow.
If they begin to insecurely tank, it turns orange.
If they are securely tanking, it turns red.
If another party member gains aggro, simply click their button and TauntMaster will automatically taunt their target off of them.

Pre-Programmed Spells
Taunt Master is pre-programmed to cast the following taunts on whichever party or raid member you click (although in v4.1.0 you can program your own spells and macros):

All Classes:
Ctrl-Click: Assist

Death Knight:
Left Click: Dark Command
Right Click: Death Grip

Druid:
Left Click: Growl
Rigth Click: Challenging Roar

Paladin:
Left Click: Hand of Reckoning
Right Click: Righteous Defense
Ctrl Click: Hand of Protection

Warrior:
Left Click: Taunt
Right Click: Intervene
Shift-Left Click: Challenging Shout

Shortcuts:
/tm - opens up the configuration menu
/tm show - shows tauntmaster
/tm hide - hides tauntmaster
/tm toggle - hides TM if shown, shows TM if hidden
/tm spells - opens up the spell bindings menu
/tm display - opens up the display customization menu
/tm raid - opens up the raid warnings menu

Customizing Spells/Macros:
1. Open up the spell bindings menu to set your own spells and macros to whichever mouse buttons you want.
2. Click which mouse button you'd like to program and enter the exact name of the spell or enter in the macro in the edit box.
3. If you enter a spell name, you MUST select a target
-if you want to cast the spell on a friend (like Righteous Defense or Intervene) then click friend ([@mouseover])
-if you want to cast the spell on an enemy (like taunt, death grip, etc.) click enemy ([@mouseovertarget])
4. Then select the appropriate checkbox for a spell or macro.
5. Finally, press the set button, to save your changes.

Right on. Thanks GreyWolfSC! I'll include it in an upcoming update.

I appreciate it!

Any support in the future for Titan panel, so I can hide the mini map.

I've added LDB support to it. (Have at it if you want to incorporate it, prodigy.

)

You'll need "CallbackHandler-1.0", "LibDataBroker-1.1", "LibQTip-1.0", "LibStub" libraries.

Code:

-- begin LDB addition
LibStub("LibDataBroker-1.1"):NewDataObject("TauntMaster", {
	type = "launcher",
	icon = "Interface\\AddOns\\TauntMaster\\tmicon",
	OnClick = function(self, mouseButton)
		if( mouseButton == "LeftButton" ) then
        if TauntMasterDBChar.hideTM == nil then
            TauntMaster_Header:Hide()
	            TauntMasterDBChar.hideTM = 1
        elseif TauntMasterDBChar.hideTM == 1 then
            TauntMaster_Header:Show()
	            TauntMasterDBChar.hideTM = nil
        end
		elseif( mouseButton == "RightButton" ) then
			TMConfig:Show();
		end
	end,
	OnTooltipShow = function(tooltip)
		if( not tooltip ) then return end
		
		tooltip:SetText("TauntMaster")
		tooltip:AddLine("Left Click - Show/Hide Interface", 1, 1, 1, nil, nil)
		tooltip:AddLine("Right Click - Open Options", 1, 1, 1, nil, nil)
	end,
})
-- end LDB addition

Cram this in TauntMaster.lua somewhere and you should have LDB launcher functionality. (I put it before "function TauntMaster_Button_OnLoad(self)".) Left-click will hide/unhide the TM grid, right-click will open the config panel.

Re: Question/Suggestion

Couple questions:
1. I'd like to know if instead of spells we can assign macros to the buttons -- I haven't tried this, but I will ...
2. Is it possible to have this addon set up differently for our secondary talent spec? As a Boomkin, Tree or combat kitty, I'd think Innervate and Rebirth would be handy second-spec options for TauntMaster.

Here's the issue...I could track aggro from the combat log, but you wouldn't be able to cast a spell directly on that mob unless each mob that your group was fighting had a different name. In other words, I could set a button to cast Taunt on a mob with the name Murloc, but if there are multiple mobs named Murloc, it wouldn't necessarily cast it on the correct mob, thus rendering the addon useless.

So I thought maybe I could use the mob's GUID (the hexadecimal number that is unique to every single mob in the game) instead of their name, but the programming functions do not accept GUIDs - I have sent Blizz a request to change this, but I doubt we'll see it anytime soon, if ever. Thanks for the suggestion, and feel free to let me know if you have any other ideas.

Re: Question/Suggestion

Thanks for the suggestions NiteSwine.
1. Unfortunately because of the way TM is set up, you can't assign a macro to a button. Perhaps that will come in a future release, but I have a few more versions to work on until I get to that. Sorry!
2. This would be possible although it would require a lot of work! haha! so unfortunately I doubt I will be getting around to it.

I do appreciate the suggestions tho!

I also love the idea of displaying the cooldowns and plan to implement a similar feature in the future.

Prodigy,

Have you tried using the same functionality as Omen to determine aggro for hostiles, and then cycle through all possible hostiles, tracking the agro as it cycles and going from there?

Ah I got it. Apparently I had to delete all the old tauntmaster savedvariables for it to properly update to the new version since the /tm was still just showing me the one single options panel instead of the new one.

Different issue now, however.

Is there a way to save the display options or to force it to hide until I choose to display it? When I hide tauntmaster, it comes back if I relog or I join a BG or raid or a group.

This feature has been fixed in the next update which should hopefully be posted tomorrow. It will correctly save whether you have chosen to hide it (same thing for the minimap icon). So if I get my last bug worked out, I'll post the newest version (3.1) up by Thursday night, but hopefully sooner.
