MyChatAlert
# MyChatAlert
Alerts the player when designated keywords are found in specified chat channels
This addon is hosted on GitHub, where you can find source code and issues/discussion, and also on CurseForge, where you can find some Q&A in the comments
## Using the Addon
Download it and install as a typical wow addon. Customization can be found in the interface/addons panel. Clicking on an author's name in the alert frame or printed alerts will open a whisper to that player.
### Chat Commands
- `/mca` opens the addon options panel
- `/mca alerts` opens the alert frame
- `/mca ignore {player}` adds the player to the addon's ignore list
### Minimap Functionality
- `Left Click` Toggles the alert frame to show/hide
- `Control + Left Click` Opens the interface options panel for the addon
- `Right Click` Clears stored alerts in the alert frame
- `Control Right Click` Toggles the `Enable` setting, controls whether alerts are enabled or disabled
### Creating a Basic Alert
1) Open the addon's options
2) In the `Channels` section, select a `channel` from the dropdown, or manually type in the name
3) In the `Keywords` section, select the `channel` you want to add an alert to
4) Type in the `keyword` that you want to be alerted for
5) You now have a functioning alert! Further configuration can be done, the settings section below will explain each setting
## Settings Walkthrough
### General Section
- `Enable` - Toggles alerts on or off
- `Disable in instance` - If checked, suppress alerts while inside of an instance
- `Minimap` - Toggle the minimap button on or off
- `Time to wait` - Controls how long to prevent duplicate messages from repeat authors from triggering a second alert (in seconds, `0` to disable the feature)
### Sound Section
- `Enable` - Whether to play a sound when alert is triggered
- `Alert Sound` - The soundID (number) to play, this can be browsed on Wowhead
- There is a GitHub issue regarding a quick-add list of sounds, similar to the channels, and I'm trying to build a list of some good sounds to use; if you have some favorite alerts sounds please comment them!
### Printing Section
- `Enable` - Whether to print alerts to the screen
- `Destination` - Where should the printed alerts be displayed
- `Print Message` - If you want to override the default printed message, what you enter here is used as the format
- `${keyword}`, `${author}`, `${message}` will be replaced with the respective fields when an alert is triggered
- E.g. `[${author}]: ${message}` will output an alert of the format: `[Name]: Something said to trigger an alert`
- `Base Text Color` - The base color of the alert text (anything that isn't a replacement)
- `Keyword Color` - The color to use for the keyword, colors both `${keyword}` replacements and the keyword within ${message} replacements
- `Author Color` - The color to use for the author
- `Message Color` - The color to use for the message that triggered the alert
