About CooldownToGo

Displays the remaing cooldown of the action you tried to use. Type /cdtg for help, /cdtg config for configuration.

CooldownToGo displays the cooldown on the last action/spell/item you tried to use (and failed due to it being on cooldown). The display consists of the icon of the action and a countdown showing the cooldown time remaining. The display fades after a configurable period, and it pops up again when the cooldown is (almost) finished. It is possible to set up an ignore-list for abilities you don't want to track, and a grace-period before the ability is checked for cooldown (for button-smashers).

After installing, CooldownToGo will be enabled by default, and unlocked, so you'll see a semi-transparent rectangle in the center of your UI that you can drag to a position you like. After finding a good place for it you should lock the frame with /cdtg locked, so that it won't eat your mouse clicks.

    I love this addon! Best I've seen for displaying when cooldowns are up. The only suggestions I have are 1) maybe add an option for displaying a background so the text is easier to see and 2) give us an option to select a longer "hold time". I just read in one of the comments that you can do that by typing in /run CooldownToGo.db.profile.holdTime=10 so that's cool =)

    Hi,

    Have you tried setting the "Font outline" option to "Thick"? Maybe that's enough for better visibility.

    I _think_ you can set a longer Hold time from the GUI now by entering the number manually into the little box under the slider (I can't test it at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it's like that).

    cheers,
    mitch

    I just tried setting holdTime to 1000 and it definitely works for me. Make sure you press after changing the value and then later do not touch the slider as that'll reset it to 5.

    cheers,

    I would love for there to be a way to show multiple (say two or three) of the last cool downs I tried to hit. Is there any chance you might put in an option for this? I love the way this addon works, it's nice and clean without any unnecessary fluff.

    Hi,

    Sorry, I missed your comment :) Yes, I've been thinking about this, but I haven't came up with a nice way of doing this and I'm not sure completely sure that I should add this to CDTG, or create a separate addon like CDTG that tracks all used spells.

    I'll open a ticket about it, maybe I'll get around implementing it sometime in the future.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    cheers,
    mitch

    There is one issue, that i have faced recently.
    Cooldown to go blocked me from changing glyphs and then menu poped up offering to turn off the addon.
    Playing shaman.

    Hello,

    This is unfortunately a blizzard issue, and so far we (addon authors) haven't found a workaround or fix for this. The "taint" blame is passed on to seemingly random addons... Try reloading your UI (/rl) and do the glyph changing.

    cheers,

    Is there a way to just have the cooldown timer stay up until the spell is ready again instead of it disappearing?

    Hi,

    The "Hold Time" setting is responsible for fading out the display after a while. This cannot be set above 5 secs from the GUI config, but you can try the following (in the chat box):

    /run CooldownToGo.db.profile.holdTime=10000

    The other option is to modify CooldownToGo_Options/Options.lua (around line 50): change the "max = 5.0" line for the "holdTime" option to something big (like 10000).

    cheers,
    mitch

    Nice addon and an original idea.
    But is there an addon to flash in the middle of the screen when a CD finishes? (Like JIM's Cooldown Pulse in the past)

    Answering to myself, Doom_CooldownPulse is what I was looking for. CooldownToGo + Doom_CooldownPulse ftw!

    It does not show up Arcane Torrent and couple of other CDs
    I remember seeing CD on my Arcane Torrent a week ago but then it stopped showing it, I checked config, there is nothing in the ignore section.

    The issue with Racial abilities (like Arcane Torrent) [and probably a lot others in non-english clients] is hopefully fixed in v1.4.

    Hi,

    I think it's an unfortunate side effect of the fix for the errors when summoning a mount. I'll look into it.

    cheers,
