    Personal Sentry  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

    Version: 1.54b
    by: Rexxa [More]

    What does Personal Sentry do?

    Short answer:

    It creates a popup menu of Players/NPC's by using your combat log, mouse-over, and/or minimap. You can 'left-click' the buttons to target or 'right-click' to target AND announce their position to a specified channel.

    More detailed answer:

    By using 'Sentry Mode' you will get enemy player targets to appear on the popup automatically if they do anything near enough to you that your combat log reports it. Also, the popup does more than just allow you to target and announce things. It can keep track of targets over time and adjust the background color fade to let you know which is more recently active (darker is higher priority). It removes dead targets (optional) and adds new targets as they appear. It will also update targetted and moused-over targets health (shown by how filled the colored bar is). It can keep track of all damage taken from enemies and you can also add enemy player targets to your own 'Hit List', which will give you extra warning if they appear on your popup.

    Complete FAQ and version history is available here in My Portal

    Yes, this is already fixed in the next release. Right now iIt's a bug related to using the RESET option when you have the DOWNWARD drawing popup selected.

    It wasn't easy and it will only work for the DOWNWARD drawing popup; but I'm sure you'll all breath a sigh of relief that your popups will no longer go offscreen to the right.

    That seems sound enough. I'll see if I can get that to work. Thanks for the tip!

    Yeah, since I changed the popup to be moveable with its position saved I had to make mine a child of the main UI. If I set it in relation to the minimap and you moved the minimap it would probably move the PS popup offscreen. Still, that shouldn't be the reason why it'd drawn that way. Maybe there's something in the anchors that does it. I'm still experimenting.

    I Dont know XML/LUA either, but probably researching the Drawing methods from ICU, U may find the sollution and implement It in Personal Sentry.
