[outdated] See Group Players Buffs

[Zerowalker]

I would like to be able to see what kind of buffs my group has without targeting them.
Mostly cause i noticed what i pain i is to put HOTs on ppl as i have no clue who has it.

Perhaps there is a way already that i don't know off though?

Looks like it would be possible with the latest changes to the combat api.
After the beta ZOS locked this information down, so addons could not show it. Guess no one has adapted this new change yet.

[Zerowalker]

Oh really?
Care to link the change, out of interest?

Perhaps i could somehow mod myself to it on an existing addon, at least try.
For me it's something that should already be in the game,
it doesn't make any sense how you have no clue what buff the others has,
especially stuff like HOTs,
i mean are we supposed to guess it or just spam it several times every time the time has past and hope everyone has it;S

I think it was not mentioned explicitly anywhere. I tried it ingame with a slightly modified version of sidTools which I haven't uploaded yet and it shows them just fine.

[Zerowalker]

Oh, well that's awesome.

I use LUA Extended, and well i chose it cause it's the first one i found that was appealing.

I am guessing modding it should be quite difficult for these things?
I mean, showing the icon, time and all that, it's not as easy as pure code behind the screen;s

I don't know that addon, but I think it will be quite the task to add this feature if you are just starting with making addons. Maybe you should ask on the comment page and see if the author wants to add it himself?

[Zerowalker]

Should probably do that.
How do i reference this to him?
The command, variables or whatever that is now available,
or is that something that should be obvious to a developer?

Also, what UI addon do you use if i may ask, out of interest (that shows group, buffs, bars, stuff like that).

[sirinsidiator]

It works the same way as with the player buffs, so he should know what to do.

I like the vanilla unit frames so I don't use any addons for custom unit frames.
I use Srendarr and FTC for buffs and sidWarTools for numbers on the resource bars.

[Zerowalker]

Ah, okay.

Thanks for the info!
