eXtreme Unit Buttons

Version: v2.0

by: tayedaen [More]

This highly configurable mod allows players to associate buttons to unit frames. It is meant as a replacement to GroupButtons which stopped functioning with the 2.0 patch in December 2006. The mod extends the capabilities of GroupButtons by providing these additional features:

an unlimited number of buttons per unit frame
Buttons which turn on/off depending on the amount of damage a unit has
Buttons which are dimmed if a unit as that buff or a related buff applied.
Buttons which appear when a debuff is applied to a unit.
Buttons which allow you to have any type of "/" slash or macro command on a button
A variety of a modes for different activities in the game. For example, a set of buttons
for soloing, buttons for instances, buttons for raids, buttons for specific bosses (such as Baron Geddon in MC (to all priests to debuff), buttons for PvP, etc.
Assign buttons to unit frames that when clicked cast spells on different units. This feature allows, for example, buffs and heals for the player unit to appear within the target buttons to minimize the amount of mouse movement between buttons.
Works for any kind of non-casting classes; specifically warriors and rogues.

Version 2.0 (Dec 06, 2010) (by tayedaen)

I know that the documentation is a complete mess at the moment, I am already working on it.
But I wanted to have a released version for cataclysm start.

Before upgrading, please read the included 'readme.txt'.

You will loose your config, so read carefully !

Hightlights of the changes since the last official release:

Code:

New: Support for default profiles for spec1 and spec 2
New: Wizards for Group and Profile generation
 Please use them !
New: LDB button (and menu)
New: Default Buttons now always use the Prefix 'SB_'
 This is an abbreviation for StandardButton.
 I recommend to use 'CB_' as prefix for custom buttons.
New: '$' self condition for cast buttons (buff, debuff etc.)
 Example: CB_Renew,buff,Renew,$Renew
 This custom buutton will only chnge to the state BUFFED if the destination unit is buffed with your OWN Renew.
New: '!' inverts conditions for cast buttons (buff, debuff etc.)
New: new debuff condition "Death"
 A button with this condition is only shown if the destination unit is dead.
New: new debuff condition "Purge"
 A button with this condition is only shown if the destination unit has at least one buff to purge.
New: two keywords for exclude-units:
  'hostile'   and    'friendly'
  Example: MyGroupName,SB_Renew,*,hostile
  This button will be hidden on hostile units (= it will only be shown on friendly units)
New: Spell ranks have been removed (multiranking too)
New: Macro buttons support now '[target=unit#]'
 Here unit# will be rpalced at runtime with the unit the button is attached to.
 Example: /target [target=unit#]
Improved: Verification of buttons while configuring the addon

And last but not least: 
!!! Improved: Internals are mostly rewritten from scratch for better performance  !!!

Please refer to 'z_historic_Changelog.txt' for older changes.

Known problems:
XPerl's partypets get no buttons

Known blizzard bugs:
------------------------
'isUsableSpell' is broken, there is nothing I can do to change that.
That means: Some spells are reported 'not usable' if you target a hostile target or NPC (like 'PowerWord: Shield' for example).

Enjoy - Tayedaen

Csalago A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 85 Uploads: 4	Is there a way to make a macro button cast on the attached frame unit? so for example as a druid, if I make a macro that casts Natures Swiftness and then Healing Touch, i want it to cast the healing touch on whoever i have attached the button to. yet no matter what I do, the macro will only cast on either myself if no friendly target is selected, or my friendly target. I even tested this simply with a macro to cast a heal spell. /cast Healing Touch It will not cast on the party member who's frame the button is attached to. Is this a limitation of the macro buttons?

I had a custom position before, and since the custom tweaking is not there any longer, I think this variable that is saved is somehow messing up the new relocate function. I am now stuck with my buttons being too far up, as I've changed my UI back to the blizzard default one untill I can get one that works well with XUB again. I believe that I'm getting the same error when I use the drop down to select TOPRIGHT, to change to RIGHT. Error is: Interface\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua:503: attempt to index local 'frame' (a nil value) Last edited by Grumwha : 07-03-09 at 05:16 PM.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I am running the newest version. I am using Xperl but I get it with or without and frame mods.

Can you please post the last lines leading to the error?
Buggrabber, Swatter or what ever will help you getting an output like this:

Code:

...erface\\AddOns\\PitBull4\\Modules\\PowerBar\\PowerBar.lua:102: in function `GetValue'
...terface\\AddOns\\PitBull4\\ModuleHandling\\BarModule.lua:38: in function <...terface\\AddOns\\PitBull4\\ModuleHandling\\BarModule.lua:32>

Interface\\AddOns\\PitBull4\\UnitFrame.lua:553: in function `UpdateGUID'
Interface\\AddOns\\PitBull4\\Main.lua:1124: in function `CheckGUIDForUnitID'

I need more then the single line you posted, because there are a lot of ways leading to UIDropDownMenu.lua.

_Shield,buff,Power Word: Shield,,Weakened Soul/Power Word: Shield

This button works for what I want it to do. It puts the shield spell on whoever the button is attached to, and then fades, only to reappear when both the shield is gone and weakened soul dissipates.

This seems like too easy of a response so I assume there's something I've overlooking with this.

Sweet! This works. THanks!

I will see if there is anything that can be done - but no promises - we spent a lot of time on it a while ago.

In reply to something CosmicCleric has posted in one of the subthreads:

Originally posted by Cosmic Cleric
So now, for example, if my Mage gets hit with a 'Frost' school based DoT attack, BOTH the "_FireWard" and "_FrostWard" XUB buttons will start blinking, because they are both looking for 'Magic' based debuffs. I only want ONE of the buttons to blink, the one associated with the 'Frost' based damage absorption spell, "_FrostWard".

...

http://www.wowwiki.com/API_COMBAT_LOG_EVENT

The 11th argument to SPELL_AURA_APPLIED and SPELL_AURA_REMOVED is spellSchool

Parsing of the combatlog can be done.
But the combatlog is sometimes unreliable, mostly because of range issues.
That means we need to check UnitAura anyway to get the buff/debuff for a certain unit.

Additionally, parsing the combatloag takes more computing then calling UnitAura.
So I would not want to parse the log in a raid situation.

BUT:
I think it's a good idea, that could be implemented for the player himself.
There is no range problem concerning the player himself anyway

But my primary goal is to get a stable release first, then we can talk about enhancements

So please keep testing an posting , all of you

Re: Multi-line macros

Originally posted by abinning
I am pretty sure i've seen it before, but after digging through 20+ pages i can't find it.
So can anyone help a noob out and tell me how to do multi-line macros in xub?
Something like this...

Code:

REZ_macro,macro,111,/raid Rezzin %t \n /cast Ancestral Spirit

Thanks!

Create a Normal Blizzard Macro of

Code:

/raid Rezzin %t
/cast Ancestral Spirit

Now drag that button to one of your action bars. Hover over that button and run the script:

Code:

/run local f,m=GetMouseFocus(); if f==WorldFrame or f==UIParent or not f:GetName() then m='Unnamed or unknown frame' else m=f:GetName() end; ChatFrame1:AddMessage(m)

to get the button ID

Now create a XUB macro such as

Code:

REZ_macro,macro,111,/click buttonidhere

Basically you're clicking a button that clicks another button. As long as you leave that Blizzard macro in the same spot, there shouldn't be a problem.

Re: Duel talent spec causing problems

Originally posted by chewm1
... I get errors when I use the duel spec options and switch to Ret and lose the Holy Shock spell.
... It doesnt seem to complain when I define a group that uses Holy Shock, only when it is defined as a custom button.

I will have a look at that.

Originally posted by chewm1
Also,
Is there a way to comment out lines in the interface (buttons, groups, or profiles)? I sometimes try new things but dont want them to be used at all times.

I personally do not comment them out, I simply rename them.
Example: Group is called: Heal --> tHeal (I choosed 't' for 'test')
Example 2: Profile is called normal: --> tnormal
