LittleTrouble  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.0-66863.14
by: Fleetfoot [More]

Description:
Have you ever wondered what exactly youre AutoShot is doing, i mean, youre paying good money for it, but really, how do you know youre getting youre moneys worth from it.
Well worry no longer, fleetfoot industries gives you LittleTrouble, the younger, more handsome brother to BigTrouble.
Through pixel magic this will give you a castbar for youre AutoShot.

Why:
I can already hear the question in the air, why would i make this since BigTrouble has this and more. Well with the advent of the new event system in 2.0 both Aimed Shot and Steady Shot was registring with blizz default castbar aswell as every other castbar out there. So after much pondering how i would move forward with BigTrouble i decided the best thing was to create this thing as a AutoShot only addon. This will give you the viewer the choise of using whichever castbar you desire for aimed shot and steady shot. This feels like the better solution rather than trying to shoehorn steadyshot into BigTrouble. This also made it possible to clean up alot of fuzzy logic that i had to use for Aimed Shot. The result is a new, more sparkly autoshot addon with lots of customization on the looks of it, you can even now change the color of the bar

And yes, i know zhunter also provides a AutoShot bar, but there's always room for one more, especially if youre like me and dont use zhunter.

Noteworthy stuff:
This mod does rely on the Ace2 embedable framework. Ace2 is the next generation of the Ace line, and does not require an external Ace2 addon as a dependency.

Command List:
Now, i wanted to make this one both slice and dice but in the beginnning i settled for just one commandline options. Now tho there are a myriad of options to tweak the look of the bar.

/ltrouble -- Gives you a list of available options.

Yes, but the macro switches it back on almost instantly when it begins casting steady.

I noticed that sorren's bar displays the .5s cast when you first toggle autoshot, whereas ltrouble waits for it to actually fire. Maybe this has something to do with the problem?

Fleetfoot, was reading the EJ forums and came across this link which might interest you:

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...894431&sid=1#1

Code:
Open littletrouble.lua and find the follow block of code:

function LittleTrouble:STOP_AUTOREPEAT_SPELL()
isAutoShot = false
self:UnregisterEvent("STOP_AUTOREPEAT_SPELL")
if not isAimedShot then
self:UnregisterEvent("UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED")
end
end

Then, simple remove everything inside of it, so that it becomes:

function LittleTrouble:STOP_AUTOREPEAT_SPELL()
end

Well, early on i decided to not show that first 0.5 shot, because its an immense hack, and frankly i didnt think it was of much use anyway to see it. But no, thats not really the problem.

Hehe, well thats one way to do it, but as the poster states, you need to continue mashing the button for it to work, and i dont really wanna force other users of LittleTrouble to have to do that.

Moving the bar

It is hard to see took me a few trys to find it.
When you type /ltrouble and the window pops up between "Font" and "Texture" is a little check box with "Lock" next to it. Uncheck it and move the bar, recheck it and go kill stuff.

ps thanks for the mod it was just what I was looking for

I think it's since patch 2.3.2 that LittleTrouble sometimes resets its position. It moves to the bottom of my screen for no apparent reason. Unlocking it and moving it back fixes it of course, until the next time it decides to reset itself. I have no clue why it does it, I can't point to any action that I'm taking. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Also, /ltrouble to get to the options doesn't always work, sometimes I have to relog to make the command work...

Hmm okay, i havent seen those problems myself and im not sure what the problem could be.
How often does it happen and can you trigger it on will or is it more like a random act?

It happens occasionaly, like every 2 days maybe? I think it's mostly happening when I log in. Like it doesn't remember its saved position or something. But that's only sometimes, it doesn't do it regularly. It seems totally random, I can't trigger it. Same with /ltrouble, sometimes it works, sometimes it won't until a relog.

Hello. I have been using BigTrouble for a long time. I do not use it for any of other shots except for Auto Shot, but BigTrouble has the 'delay' time feature and LittleTrouble doesn't. Is there any plan on adding to this LittleTrouble? I can't for the life of me figure out why isn't.

The cast bar is laggy. It starts and finishes on time, but the progress of the bar is 'chunky' and not a smooth progression. IE the bar jumps 20% at a time and makes it look clunky. Sorry I can't describe the problem without using made up words.

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere before so I'm not sure if this problem is unique to me or not. It may be due to some library I have thats outdated somewhere.

Is there any way to fix this?

I have a problem with this addon. I have scaled the bar down so that it fits my kind of niche, but this creates a big issue. Every single time I log out, it will reset its position to a few inches above where I put it. It NEVER saves its position. I am almost positive this is because I have scaled the bar down. However this is incredibly aggrivating and I am very tired of this. I've been using this addon for MONTHS and this issue is STILL not fixed. Granted, I haven't told you about it, but I figured SOMEONE would. Please fix this very annoying bug.

hey, first of all sorry for the late reply, tbh ive been busy with alot of other things and my addons development have been on a bit of a hiatus. Ive never seen the problem you are experiencing so im not sure how to fix it. But in the midst of recoding the whole ui code atm so hopefully this wll sort out youre problem also. Ill post a beta here as soon as i have anything.

Update coming for the 3.02 patch?

LittleTrouble is absolutely the best Auto Shot timer I have tried. I've been using it for many months now. Thank you for your great work!

I hope you'll be releasing an update for the 3.02 patch, currently on the PTR and coming to the retail servers within a few weeks. There are significant changes to how Steady Shot interacts with Auto Shot, so even if the current version of LittleTrouble functions it most likely won't show accurate information without some changes.

Thanks again!


Edit: I tested this on the 3.02 PTR and it seems to be working properly. It's hard to tell for sure, though, since so many things changed (Steady Shot cast time doesn't interfere with Auto Shot casting, for instance). I'm curious how LittleTrouble works - does it make a "guess" about what your Auto Shot is currently doing based on Combat Log events, or does it have some direct hook into the progress of Auto Shot casting?
