Trinity Instructions
TrinityBarsFAQ
1. How do I configure these bars? In order to configure the bars, you must be in configuration mode. On a fresh install, configuration mode is on by default. However, to enter and leave config mode, you have three options.
Once in config mode, these special frames called docks will appear over Trinity Bars buttons and status bars. The docks are reference frames that tell the buttons where to place themselves and stores info on how the associated buttons should behave. The docks are a shaded gray color until moused-over, then they will turn a blue color. To adjust the properties of buttons associated with a dock, simply left-click on the shaded area of the dock and a set of configuration options (Option Set One) will appear at the bottom, left and right sides of the dock. A right-click on the dock will display a second set of options (Option Set Two) on the top and bottom sides of the dock. 2. What can I do in Option Set One? Option Set One consists of the following, reached by left-clicking the dock: Bottom -
Left Side - There up to three extended options available here, currently on one is active.
Right Side -
3. What options are available via the feedback bar in Option Set One?
4. What can I do in Option Set Two? Option Set Two consists of the following checkbox options, reached by right-clicking the dock: Top -
Bottom -
5. My bar disappeared! What do I do? When a bar seems to disappeard, it means it switched to a state that has zero buttons associated with it. If the state is one inwhich you desire to have buttons to use, add some buttons! (you may have to remove buttons from another bar before being able to add any) 6. I dont understand TrinityBars buttons! Help! Trinity Bars takes a different approach to being a button addon compared to the other big button addons out there. Trinity Bars creates and manages 120 unique action buttons. The other addons will use the same button and swap out their ID's to make it look like you have another button to click on with a new spell, which is the same method Blizzard uses in the default UI but it is still the same frame just with new data. The advantage of doing things this way is efficiency in management code-wise and perhaps lower the memory an addon uses. However, memory is not so much a concern as is how many cpu cycles and addon is using to keep it running. And you can usually tell an addon is eating up too many cpu cycles when your frame-rate suffers. The reason I mention this is that indeed Trinity Bars uses some memory to hold settings for each dock and each individual button, instead of holding that data for one button that continuously switches it's role and use. But Trinity Bars strives to use a little cpu cycles as possible while maintaining the option set it has available. The reason for the indivdual buttons is advantages given in flexibility. One of the main advantages that stance using classes like is the ability to have a varied amount of buttons for each stance, which then also leads to the ability to have unique bindings for each button. The first button in one stance can have a completely different binding than the first button in the second stance. Another advantage is being able to indivdually edit buttons. 6. Okay, my brain hurts, but what is in the main menu? The main menu, reach by right-clicking the minimap button or simply typing /trinity in the chat box, offers some more options. Generally, the options here are for non bar-specific features of TrinityBars or bar features that are too complex to incorporate into the on-dock configuration option set.

Hi,
first, sorry for my bad english, i hope, you understand, what i mean. Trinity is an wonderfull addon. but, i miss an funtcion, where i can say, on button 1 i have renew. show me the button, if the target miss 100 or more life AND it is NOT buffed. This i give in the action bar for me and party member 1 to 4. the same for the other healing spells and buffs. this and a lowest healing bar is all i miss then it is the best addon i ever seen since group buttons can you implement this, or something else, or, can you (or someone) tell me, how a macro looks like, what can to that? i know, a button cant be replaced during an fight, but you can set the alpha to 0.1 or something else, so he dont be visible... thank you for the answers Cya Maxx4u [EDIT] and again a question, i now have the party 1-4 and party pet 1-4 configured. But now im not in an party, and the buttons are here... what can i do, i dont want see the party buttons, if im not in an party... [/EDIT] Last edited by Maxx4u : 12-12-06 at 02:25 PM. |

Key Bindings
Problem: The accidental key binding does not release back to Blizzard default key binding.
I accidentally set one of my abilities to "W" and then switched it back, went into the Blizzard Key Bindings menu, set "Move Forward" back to W, and now it doesn't work. Edit: Logged out and in, seems to work now. Last edited by Anirah : 12-12-06 at 04:50 PM. |

Trinity Bars seems to disable the XP and faction bars. There's another mod included called TrinityXP that makes a small XP bar right under your rage/mana/energy bar in your player frame. There doesn't seem to be a replacement for the reputation bar.

First off, I love Trinity. I used to use Zbar, which is essentially the same thing, but trinity has a lot more modes in which to put the bars.
Plus Zbar won't be updated till januari because the developer is in china and the wow in china won't be updated with BTS I guess, only TBC. But, one thing i do miss in trinity. It's the function that i could set up some bars to be only visible when targetting a hostile mob or when in combat. I got two bars in the middle of my screen around my self with combar buttons, and in zbar it would only show in combat (or when targetting a hostile mob I wanted to engage). With trinity it shows all the time. I was wondering if you would maybe think about implementing this function in trinity too? |

So is there a way to have the page of bar one swap while a modifier key is held?
For example, have it change from page 1 to page 2 while holding the ALT key. |

Sorry for the lateness of some answers, have not really been paying attention to this thread :P
I have begun to work on enhancing the paging, I can add modifier temp page changes, but it is not in yet. Druids continue to have issues and I am trying to figure it out. I do my primary testing on my druid. As far as key bindings, try to use the trinity binding mode to reassign them. There are some binding improvments in the next beta version. Bars that show when entering combat I plan to add. I have not figured out a way to have bars toggle based on friendly/hostile target. Actually, I thought this impossible but someone said that it should be, just no one has figured out how to do it with the new secure code yet Depending on the version, you can make a macro to hide the minmap button. TrinityBarsMinimapButton:Hide() or TrinityButtonsButton:Hide() I plan on making a new dock similar to the cast bar dock that will have XP/Rep info and a bunch more options. The latest beta has improved binding code to release the accidental bindings back to the default UI when you hit ESC over the button while in binding mode. You will have to go into the default UI binding menu to rebind the key. I will be adding improvements to how buttons repson based on target status, such as alpha changes. |

please someone help me out.

Woot thanks!
I love the prowl bar functionality I just set it up!
WOOT! I am loving the addon. Maul, have you tested it with lariclastaction addon, the addon shows the errors that occur when an illegal action happens - sometimes it shows that trinity buttons is producing errors when you switch into combat. Give it a try you might be able to cut some more lag out of the addon - honestly though its an awesome addon it kills the other button bars addons already. |

However, if the errors are about SetPoint() then this has to do with the petbar and I hopefully have a fix in the next beta update. |
