About PetOverlay

Allows you to create a shiny autocast overlay for macros that control a pet skill.

If you have any problem with PetOverlay, please post a comment or email me (my address can be found on the About Me page of my Curse profile).

To use, include the following in your macro:

   #pet skillname

Where 'skillname' is the name of a skill, such as

   #pet Call of the Wild

This will add an autocast overlay showing you the status of the 'Call of the Wild' skill. To make a macro act like a normal pet skill button, be sure to include a /petautocasttoggle command on right click, such as:

   #showtooltip Call of the Wild
   #pet Call of the Wild
   /petautocasttoggle [button:2] Call of the Wild
   /cast [nobutton:2] Call of the Wild

As of v1.4, the #pet command can now accept macro modifiers like [mod:shift].
The following would allow you to control both Growl and Cower depending on whether or not you are holding shift:

   #showtooltip
   #pet [mod:shift]Cower;Growl
   /petautocasttoggle [button:2,mod:shift]Cower;[button:2,nomod]Growl
   /cast [nobutton:2,mod:shift]Cower;[nobutton:2,nomod]Growl

Original macro code by Xelron
Bartender code by stritzi

    1 - Download the addon;
    2 - Unpack it;
    3 - Open the file named PetOverlay.lua on wordpad, notepad, or anything similar;
    4 - replace 'GetSpellName' with 'GetSpellBookItemName'.

    It should work again.

    I'm on a break from WoW, but I will try to get a new version out there.

    Can anyone else confirm that perera_eu's fix works with 4.x?

    I have released a beta that I think will support nUI (and will definitely support Bartender, thanks to stritzi). Let me know if you have any problems with these 2 addons specifically.

    As another aside, any bar addon author can just call ActionButton_Update on its buttons everytime the PET_BAR_UPDATE event fires and it will automatically update the PetOverlay shine status (although it would probably be more resource-efficient to just include the entire functionality internally).

    As an aside, there has been no change except for the support for the 2 bar addons, so you don't need to upgrade unless you use either of them or you want to stop having to check the "Load out of date addons" box.

    this doesnt seem to work with nUI 4.20. the spell "shine" display correctly. doesnt toggle off for some spells, doesnt come on for some either. now all spells just get the yellow "using" outline around them when i toggle them, and it doesnt correctly show if theyre toggled on or not.

    no error messages.

    the addon only contains an update-method for standart- and dominos-actionbars, for every other addon you have to add an own update-method

    This has become one of the staple and most useful addon currently for hunters who have problems with the autocast Cower bug. This addon allows us to now monitor the autocast spells that come on unintentionally. I sincerely hope the author of this does continue with his work for 3.0.8 and so forth...
    Just edit the macro to suit you.

    I'm adding this to the default addon, thanks for helping out! I am still pretty new to addons so I spent about 4 hours looking through Bartender trying to figure out the button names it uses but couldn't get it.

    Hello !
    Good job for this addon ! It's very useful to manage pet abiltie's as we want...but I use Bartender4 too, and like Hellyardsown, the overlay don't refresh. A fix will be great indeed : ) thanks in advance !

    Also not working properly with bartender4. it shows the overlay, but when I turn off auto cast, it still shows it on =P a fix would be great. Loving that someone is working on this though.

    Great addon! Thanks for creating it.

    I also use Macaroon, and I'd love to be able to get PetOverlay to work with it. Macaroon can create pet buttons, but it's limited to the 10 buttons from the default UI. Once a 10-button pet bar is made with Macaroon, no more pet buttons can be created. So PetOverlay would be great to use with it for extra pet skills.
