Gunship/Sindragosa Boss Frames

[blottica]

Just curious if anyone has tried setting up a custom boss frame for these fights yet?

[Waverian]

Should work just like any other frame if you know the unitid for those units - which I don't know offhand and none of the doc sites are updated.

The unitid's are bossN. oUF currently doesn't kill the default frames if you spawn them tho'.

(apologies for the minor thread necromancy, but it is related)

I've put together an oUF layout that displays the special boss fight frames, but I've only had 1 occasion to test it out.

The frames are displayed during the fight and initially looked like they'd do the job, until I noticed that the health on the boss frames did not change as expected.

This screenshot shows the frames displayed on the right hand side, with Ogrim's Hammer on 97% and Skybreaker on 100%. When the fight finished Ogrim's Hammer was only on 95% and Skybreaker still on 100% :-/

The code for this boss frame layout can be seen here.

Has anyone else tried using oUF to display boss frames yet?
Has oUF got any known issues with spawning these frames?
Is my layout doing anything obviously stupid that I've not spotted?


cheers

Despite the fact that they are called boss#, they are not "true" units and do not receive events like party# or raid# do. You have to treat it as a targettarget type of unit and poll for updates.

I've looked at the oUF core and bossN units should be treated the same as targettarget units and poll for updates already.
The only possible problem I can see is that bossN units are not registered to update on the INSTANCE_ENCOUNTER_ENGAGE_UNIT event.

Then you read wrong. oUF does nothing to support boss units.
