Is there an addon or weakaura for Wotlk Classic that will inform me about someone in my raid group using important cooldown (e.g. Pain Suppression, Divine Sacrifice …) the same way DBM announces things? All WAs and addons I found so far do so only in chat, but I don’t want that. I just want big, fat message on my screen that “XX used Pain Suppression on YY”, ideally with spell icon next to it.
I already have WA with list of cooldowns available/on cooldown, but this lacks the on-use announcement part.
Have a look at the Display section Text and Display Text tooltip, it lists dynamic things you can add to a text element on your screen when some condition is met.
If you know or don’t mind learning a bit of lua then you can print the message to /rw without it getting actually said or do whatever you want with it really. You have access to a lot of UI elements in the custom code section under Actions. Getting someone to write the code for you might be a bit difficult… I’ve never met someone who likes writing lua…
Thanks for reply. RW is visible to everyone and I don’t think that all 25 members need to get alerted about tank getting a Pain Suppression
Anyways, I couldn’t find anything so I solved the problem by getting a Dsac announcing WA and duplicated+remade for other important cooldowns. Took a lot of time tinkering with the settings and triggers, but ultimately got it to work.
Neat, whatever it takes
And I meant when you write and action in lua you can print text directly to RW without it showing up for anyone else. I print messages to different channels like /s, /g, /w, system, error, etc. just to color code actions. They don’t show up for anyone else, its just text in an empty chat window. RW is good cause it still plays the sound and shows the message at the usual spot, but yeah since you’re writing your code output to the UI element it isn’t an actual chat message.
