About targetAssist

targetAssist

Anyone else miss MainAssist? targetAssist is my attempt to recreate the basic functionality of that wonderful addon.

targetAssist provides unit frames that track tanks and main assists in your party or raid, along with their current targets. You can position the frames by dragging the header bar. Targeting buttons can be arranged above or below the header (see the Appearance section of the configuration options):

targetAssist window

Right click on the header bar to bring up a context menu that will allow you to select the tracked party/raid members and configure the addon:

targetAssist context menu

Left click on party/raid members or their targets to target those units. Right clicking on the party/raid member buttons brings up a menu that allows you to change the order in which they appear:

targetAssist unit order

Right click on a party/raid member target to change the raid icon on that unit:

The interface options panel allows you to customize the visual appearance and behavior of the addon:

In addition to setting up the addon to automatically track tanks and main assists set through the default UI, you can also broadcast your current settings to other members of your party/raid who are running the addon:

    Implemented in 1.3 beta. I'm not particularly happy with my solution for showing which targets are hostile when class colors are enabled for both friendly and hostile targets: currently the addon just color the name text in red if the target is hostile. It's a bit ugly. Suggestions welcome.

    I really like this suggestion and it fits well with the other features coming in 1.3. Look for it in a beta release soon.

    Also, glad that you're finding the addon as/more useful than MainAssist!

    Is it possible to add numeric percent of health on top of or instead of the bar shrinking(or an option for one)? I would be good for council type fights with multiple mobs being tanked.

    Very useful suggestion and easy to add. Look for it as a target button option in the coming 1.3 beta.

    After further testing, I'm fairly certain this is an issue with the way targetAssist interfaces with Clique. If you are seeing this error please:

    1) update to 1.2.2b or later
    2) If you are running Clique and still see this error, please update your version of Clique (should be 1.3.3 or greater)

    If you've done both 1&2 above, and still see this error, please add a comment to this thread or post here: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/targetassist/tickets/6-c-stack-overflow-error/

    Try updating to 1.2.2b. This *may* fix the error. If it does not, and you are using Clique, try disabling Clique support (new check box added to the bottom of the addon's interface options page).

    Any chance you could add in a keybind option for the primary assist slot? That was just another one of the great features MainAssist had and why we kept using it for so long. Also, let me add in my thanks to you for taking this project on, it is truely a loved addon by our guild and we are grateful for this carryon of it.

    You can bind targeting any of the first 10 assists or their targets through the in game UI. To do this, open the system menu (escape key), choose Key Bindings, and scroll down to the targetAssist section (probably near the bottom). Please let me know if you have any problems with this feature.

    That's great, when did you add that? I didn't see it listed in the key bindings in the last few releases, although I could have had an addon blocking it :/
