SnowfallCursor  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.0
by: Dayn [More]

This is an addon that improves the visibility of the mouse cursor, making it easier to find in a chaotic environment with lots of spell effects and whatnot. The addon places a star at the cursor, with size proportional to the cursor speed.

There is no configuration whatsoever. It's just the way I like it, already! This addon is tiny, though, so if you're handy with editing addons, you could very easily modify size, texture, and so forth.

Which client does this work for?

Is it possible to get this to work for the 1.12.1 client?

To show in combat and still hide out of combat (other comment would leave a small texture once leaving combat), you would want to change instead just this one line. Also adds a glow if you are a ghost or dead

line 21

Code:
if (size > 0) then
to

Code:
if (size > 0) and UnitAffectingCombat("player") or UnitIsDeadOrGhost("player") then
Also, if you want it to be a but more out of the way and faded, edit the numbers in

Code:
texture:SetAlpha(0.5);
0.4 works for me for example.

I absolutely love this addon for raiding. A toggle from inside the game would be great. Keep up the good work on it.

Here's a tweak I made to make in enable on combat.
Code:
local frame = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent);
frame:SetFrameStrata("TOOLTIP");

local texture = frame:CreateTexture();
texture:SetTexture([[Interface\Cooldown\star4]]);
texture:SetBlendMode("ADD");
texture:SetAlpha(0.5);

local x = 0;
local y = 0;
local speed = 0;
local function OnUpdate(_, elapsed)
  local dX = x;
  local dY = y;
  x, y = GetCursorPosition();
  dX = x - dX;
  dY = y - dY;
  local weight = 2048 ^ -elapsed;
  speed = math.min(weight * speed + (1 - weight) * math.sqrt(dX * dX + dY * dY) / elapsed, 1024);
  local size = speed / 6 - 16;
  if (UnitAffectingCombat("player")) then
    if (size > 0) then
      local scale = UIParent:GetEffectiveScale();
      texture:SetHeight(size);
      texture:SetWidth(size);
      texture:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", (x + 0.5 * dX) / scale, (y + 0.5 * dY) / scale);
      texture:Show();
    end
  else
  texture:Hide();
  end
end
frame:SetScript("OnUpdate", OnUpdate);

I'm glad folks like the addon.

I had thought about enabling/disabling functionality based upon entering/leaving combat. I may make a config-file-based option to do that.

Yes, if you want to adjust the size, you could change the divisor in the size assignment (currently 6). The constant subtracted (currently 16) represents the minimum cursor speed before the graphic will be shown.

Thanks a ton for making this, I've been looking for this type of addon for a while. If I may make a suggestion, though, I'd love to see the option to auto enable upon entering combat, or a way to manually enable and disable it.

/edit - Also, what would be the value to change to adjust the max size?
Would it be the 6 in this line?
Code:
local size = speed / 6 - 16;
