About LoseControl
LoseControl makes it easy to see the duration of crowd control spells by displaying them in a dedicated icon onscreen.
Features:
- Displays duration of all CC spells and abilities. Also supports silence, disarm, root, snare, and immunity effects, and a few PvE debuffs as well.
- Can display icons for player, pet, party, focus, target, and arena enemy frames.
- Icons can be moved, resized, and made transparent.
- Compatible with CooldownCount/OmniCC
New in 4.3:
- Updated for patch 4.3.
- Added pet frame support.
- Added Portuguese language support.
- Added LUI support (credit: Zerotorescue)
Known issues:
- Psychic Horror disarm effect is disabled to prevent conflict with the horrify effect.
- Perl and XPerl support doesn't work with 3D portraits (strata issues?).
- Unlocking frames does not show arena enemy frames if they are anchored to Blizzard frames (because they don't exist unless you're in an arena).
To Do:
- Optional priority for different types of CC.
- Options profiles.
- Button skinning.
- Improve OmniCC support to work with all strata levels.
- SUF support.
Here are some demonstration videos:
Here is a video that shows you how to edit the LUA file in order to add custom spells:
And here is a setup tutorial that shows you how to unlock the icon frames and move them around:

I have some problems with this not being ontop of selected unit Avatar when i'm using ShadowUnitFrames. Will this be fixed/updated soon or is it some option i've overlooked while configuring both addons?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Just an awsome addon - increadible addition to my PvP ones.Keep up the good work.
Support for SUF is on my wish list, but I don't have much time to do addon development these days.
Any possibility of support for ButtonFacade/Masque in the future?
It's a very low priority, tbh.
Hi, I have some problems with the addon - It wont show cc/snare on focus enemy frame and my party members? It works normal on my current target (for example, if I cheap shot, whole frame is covered with cheap shot icon) , but I can't see slowing or cc effects on my friends and focus targets in 3v3 and 2v2. Can you help?
What unit frames are you using? Try resetting your LoseControl settings to the default. /lc reset
I'm having a problem where a lot of the time I can't change my glyphs, it says the Blizzard UI has been blocked from performing an action, or something along those lines, and it gives me the option to ignore it or disable LoseControl.
There was a ticket submitted for this a while back. It's not a problem with LoseControl, rather it is a problem with any mod that uses Blizzard's UIDropDownMenu system. Here is the link for more details:
http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/losecontrol/tickets/16-protected-calls-interface-fail-because-of-addon/
If I had a lot of free time I would maybe rewrite the options menu to not use drop downs, but that would be a pain in the ass.
Is it possible to anchor LoseControl to Tukui frames? Ive tried changing the lua where it says "anchor" to anchor = "TukuiPlayer" which is the name of the frame but doesnt work :(
Would it be possible to add Cauterize to the list of debuffs? It'd be the perfect notifier for it, I can't for the life of me find an addon that alerts me to when it's procced.
Open up LoseControl.lua with a text editor and add the following spellId to the spellId list:
[87023] = "CC",
It's not really a CC but you can list it as one.
Thanks man, it works perfectly!
Great Addon, only Problem I have is that Slows overwrite Stun, which is sometimes really annoying, especially as a Rogue.
For example: I used Kidney Shot on my Target, and after that Crippling Poison applies. Now instead of Kidney Shot I only see the Crippling Poison debuff on my target.
Would be awesome if you could make an option that enables us to deactive slows.
(Sorry if that option alrdy exists, then I just need to look more closely :D )
Uncheck the option to track Snares.
KK, thx :D
