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 on your player, pet, target, focus, party, and arena enemy frames.
- Automatically displays the most important buffs/debuffs first.
- Integrates directly with Blizzard unit frames.
- Icons can be moved, resized, and made transparent.
- Compatible with OmniCC.
New in 5.3:
- Added Ring of Peace [Monk]
- Added Hand of Protection [Paladin]
- Fixed Storm Bolt [Warrior]
- Added SyncFrames support
Known 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:
- Options profiles.
- Button skinning.
- Improve OmniCC support to work with all strata levels.
- Blizzard raid frame support.
- Pitbull support.
- 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:

Any plans to add the option to only show certain things per frame?
For instance, I would like to only show CC on player frame, but I'd like to show Immunes on target/focus.
how can i remove the silver border/backdrop from the icons? i messed up about with the code for a good 30 minutes and i can't get rid of the blasted thing, please help.
You probably want to crop or scale the texture before it gets displayed.
See http://wowprogramming.com/docs/widgets/Texture/SetTexCoord
well i'll be damned, all it took was one line:
o.texture:SetTexCoord(0.1,0.9,0.1,0.9)
thanks for the pointer
Is it possible to make your own icon so you can change the enemy frame to what ever you like?
Is it possible to turn of the icon for smoke bomb on player?
I really don't want a big icon on the middle on my screen when I'm in my own smoke bomb...
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 :(
