| 15:32.40 | Industrial | Hi. |
| 15:33.03 | Industrial | When I click (with Clique) on a UnitFrame and it is a spell that has an area target, can I cast it at the unit's location instead? |

| 15:36.12 | nevcairiel | no, i dont think you can do that with arbitrary units |
| 16:04.54 | Industrial | What about party? |
| 16:05.12 | Industrial | I see it does this on my self |
| 16:07.06 | nevcairiel | i think it only works on self and target, not any other units |
| 16:07.37 | nevcairiel | so that you cant go around and have people be markers for your spells quite so easily with macros |
| 16:08.39 | *** join/#wowuidev Treeston (~stolenleg@unaffiliated/stolenlegacy) |
| 16:29.07 | Elmoe | Industrial: For ground target reticle spells like 'Angelic Feather' or 'Healing Rain' there are only two macro modifiers that work: @player and @cursor. |
| 16:29.25 | Elmoe | In your case @cursor is the best you can do really. |
| 16:29.57 | nevcairiel | oh right it was cursor, not even target that you could use |
| 16:30.01 | Elmoe | Yeah |
| 16:30.33 | Elmoe | I must admit to some confusion as to why they didn't add @target at the same time, I think probably because they don't want it to be 'easy' to cast an AOE spell on enemy targets? |
| 16:30.47 | Elmoe | @player/@cursor were added back in WoD iirc |
| 16:32.35 | nevcairiel | 9.0 also added support for the self-cast key built-in |
| 16:34.52 | nevcairiel | but yeah i reckon lack of any other units, including target, is to avoid too easy placement |
| 16:38.06 | Elmoe | with the addition of @cursor its really not that bad but as a healer I totally understand that you'd rather stay on your raid frames |
| 16:38.41 | Elmoe | Now what I'd love them to fix is @player actually working underwater hah |
| 16:38.41 | *** join/#wowuidev phyber (phyber@unaffiliated/phyber) |
| 16:39.01 | Elmoe | It gets totally confused and just casts on the floor of the ocean usually |
| 16:41.18 | nevcairiel | it casts on the ground, where is it supposed to put it if you float somewhere |
| 16:41.43 | nevcairiel | can you play it manually mid-water? :d |
| 16:41.46 | nevcairiel | place* |
| 16:43.00 | Elmoe | Hmm I'd have to go play with it but iirc its inconsistent |
| 16:43.06 | Elmoe | meaning sometimes you can play it mid water |
| 16:43.29 | Elmoe | But yeah, I'm assuming the code is supposed to only place it on what the game considers ground which means the floor of the water area |
| 16:45.15 | Elmoe | It's really just an issue with something like feathers, nothing of real consequence |

| 16:55.59 | Uncia | Quick question from a (relative) Wowui novice - would anyone have some advice (or a link for further reading/tutorial) on adding an option to an existing dropdown menu? Such as adding an extra toggle to the standard vendor filter dropdown or something like that. |
| 16:56.43 | Elmoe | nevcairiel: Yeah the whole thing continues to make me chuckle. How history repeats itself heh. |
| 16:57.52 | Elmoe | Overwolf seems to have fixed the bug that installs a mismatched add-on version for the game client (e.g. retail on classic) so I'm quite happy already personally :p |
| 16:58.26 | AcidWeb | Yeah AFAIK all frontend issues were fixed. |
| 16:58.32 | AcidWeb | Rest is caused by backend issues. |

| 20:46.34 | foxlit | Uncia: that would work the same way as any other dropdown - just call the function to add buttons when the menu is opened. |
| 20:48.24 | foxlit | https://wow.gamepedia.com/Using_UIDropDownMenu covers the general shape of that API. |

| 20:53.32 | Uncia | Thanks. I think I'm mostly a bit uncertain about how to hook into it. |
| 20:58.55 | foxlit | hooksecurefunc(DropdownWidgetName, "initialize", function() --[[your code here]] end) would be sufficient. |
| 21:00.23 | Uncia | Ah, cool. So just look at the code for the default UI to find the widget name, and then hook that in through my addon? |
| 21:01.35 | foxlit | that would work. If launching the game is easier, you can also use /framestack to figure out what the widget name is |
| 21:02.28 | Uncia | Awesome, I wasn't aware of that. Thank you. =) |
| 21:02.34 | foxlit | (note that you want the name of the dropdown "box" frame, not of the button that opens it) |
| 21:03.51 | Uncia | Understood - thanks for the clarification. |

| 23:16.56 | Elmoe | Is there anyway to inspect the payload of COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED using eventtrace in-game? |
| 23:17.25 | foxlit | without running other code? no. |
| 23:17.45 | Elmoe | thanks |
| 23:20.19 | Elmoe | hmm so I'm trying to figure out this new version of Priest 'Spirit Shell' |
| 23:20.40 | Elmoe | it doesn't seem to fire SPELL_AURA_REFRESH with the absorb increase amount when you pump the shield |
| 23:21.13 | Elmoe | I see the SPELL_AURA_APPLIED the first time a unit receives the aura after a qualifying heal is converted |
| 23:21.16 | Elmoe | but no refresh events after that |
| 23:21.23 | Elmoe | anyone have any clue how this was implemented? |
| 23:23.47 | nevcairiel | there are no claims for the combat log to be exhaustive :D |
| 23:24.14 | Elmoe | Sure Blizzard is free to change things but this breaks the whole they've always implemented these kind of abilities |
| 23:24.21 | Elmoe | including the version of Spirit Shell used in MoP |
| 23:24.42 | Elmoe | I shouldn't say 'breaks' its just not the established pattern they've used before for shields |
| 23:25.38 | Elmoe | I suppose its because it is only refreshing the absorb amount not the duration of the aura |
| 23:27.40 | Elmoe | what a bummer, I suppose I can track SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS on the qualifying spells that pump the shield and compute it myself |
| 23:27.56 | Elmoe | and here I thought this was going to be quick heh |
