| 07:05.41 | sscxz | how does one set a players target? Say I have a terribly retarded addon that shows the raidmember with the lowest health in a frame, how do I go about setting the player's target when he clicks that frame? |
| 07:08.48 | Iriel | You'd have to make the frame inherit one of the secure templates |
| 07:09.15 | Iriel | Bear in mind you can't programatically change WHICH target it sets to once you're in combat |
| 07:09.29 | Iriel | so I suspect you can't do what you want to do in any really useful way |
| 07:10.34 | sscxz | I see. yeah I was trying to avoid that issue without really understanding it. |
| 07:17.54 | Iriel | The usual approach is to try and indicate the best player to act on, so the user can mouse over or click the right frame, rather than trying to make the button itself smart. |
| 07:18.05 | Iriel | As slouken was fond of saying "Smart players, not smart buttons" |
| 07:28.34 | sscxz | hmm time for retarded plan B... I've tried combining CreateMacro() and SetBindingMacro to setup 40 keybindings /target raid1.../target raid40 but I hit that 36 macro limit. This is obviously not the way to do it. |
| 07:31.11 | sscxz | If my goal were to bind 40 unused keys to target each raid slot, would that involve using SecureActionButton Templates? |
| 07:33.39 | sscxz | such that I could use SetBindingClick to create the bindings |
| 07:34.24 | Iriel | That's probably the simplest way of doing it, yes |
| 07:34.28 | sscxz | then maybe I could make a "PRESS X" type of whackamole game. |
| 07:34.30 | Iriel | They dont have to be visible |
| 07:34.32 | Iriel | they just need names |
| 07:34.48 | sscxz | except 40unused keys... it's going to be "PRESS {"!!!!!!! |
| 07:35.02 | Iriel | You could use multi-key sequences, if you're feeling clever |
| 07:35.12 | Iriel | You'd have to venture deeper into secure handler land though |
| 07:36.14 | sscxz | yeah I'll do some reading on this before I ask anymroe noob questions, thanks for the help. |
