Target castbar

Guides UI and Macro
1

Anyone know of a way to unhook it from the target nameplate and place it anywhere else of my own liking?

2

moveit (10.02 version on curseforge) does it for me. You will need the frame name for it which is TargetFrameSpellBar

Thanks, I’ll take a look at that!

Well, it sorta worked, but not really.
The bar you’re talking about worked fine moving, sure. The thing is, that bar hasn’t worked at all for me since DF first patch. I can get it to show with an addon like Gnosis, but not at all without one.

The bar I meant to begin with is the one now attached to targets hp on their nameplates when you turn them on (with nameplates turned off I don’t see any target castbar period anymore).

oh sorry, must have missed the nameplate part.

So you want to see nameplate cast bars but not nameplate healthbars?

Not sure if thats possible. You might be able to /fstack frame name of healthbars, hide them and then see if cast bars disappear or stay. I cant test that right now tho. Thats the only thing I could think of right now

Yea I was afraid of that.
Although that’s not my main issue. I really just want the TargetFrameSpellBar to show up without the need of an addon. I’m completely clueless to why it doesn’t work.

local friendlyNameplates = CreateFrame("Frame")
friendlyNameplates:RegisterEvent("NAME_PLATE_UNIT_ADDED")
friendlyNameplates:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, frame)
  for i, namePlate in ipairs(C_NamePlate.GetNamePlates()) do
    local unitFrame = namePlate.UnitFrame
    if unitFrame:IsForbidden() then return end
    if UnitIsPlayer(unitFrame.unit) and UnitIsFriend('player', unitFrame.unit) then
          unitFrame.healthBar:Hide(1)
    end
  end
end)

I just testet this code for you. If friendly nameplates are enabled it will hide friendly nameplate health bars while still showing cast bars

edit: hmm after further testing this is not consistent, nameplate health bars appear randomly again. Maybe someone here knows how to fix it.

Whats the problem with your TargetFrameSpellBar exactly? It doesnt show up at all?

Oh right. Thanks alot for trying anyway!

It doesn’t no. When I moved it with MoveIt as you suggested I can see the frame for it and move it, but outside of that, during gameplay it just doesn’t show up. No casts are shown at all on that frame.

I think you should consider a UI reset including cvar reset. It doesnt show up with no addons active too?

10

cvar?

Nope, It doesn’t show up under any curcomstances at all after the first DF patch went live.

11

it resets everything back to default. Idk, i think a missing target cast bar is a big deal. Did you try to reset everything already? Deleting all addons and so on. This bar cant just disappear, has be somewhere haha
