HealGrid

Description

HealGrid is an addon which focuses on giving you a comprehensive overview of the state of units. This is achieved by intelligently structured grids of the primary units (avatar, pet, targets) and the group, warband and scenario groups. This is further enhanced by ClickCasting, SpellTracking and other utilities, which enables you to quickly react on any given situation. The frames are fully skin-able, various skins are provided and also a SkinEditor is included to modify all and every aspect of existing skins for ultimate customization. Despite its name, HealGrid is not only suited for Healers but by its

Installation

The preferred way of installation is via the Curse client. Just click the "install via curse client" button above. All dependencies will then be automatically installed for you. If you manually install HealGrid, make sure that you first completely remove the HealGrid-folder in your addon-folder. There is no need anymore to install separate or external packages, as everything you need will be in the download.

Customize layout

To move the windows around, just use the in-game layout editor, accessible by "Customize User Interface". Note that the frames are behind the center dialog, so you have to move this away first!

For other customization options just click the HealGrid mini-icon (a square with HG printed inside) next to the map. If you have LibSlash installed you can also type "/healgrid" to bring up the GUI.

Skins can be adjusted with the SkinEditor, included in the GUI.

More than unitframes

Click-Casting: Assign spells and macros to mouse-button and key-modifier combinations to use them with a single click.
Spell-Tracking: Track Buffs, Debuffs HealOverTime (HOT) and distinguish between your buffs and buffs cast by someone else.
Range Checking: Intelligent range checking with unit-highlighting.

Internationalization and Localization

Although I develop on the German game client, the addon should work on any client. It might be that not all texts and messages are in your local language though.

Known pitfalls

If you cannot click the units, then the window is most likely hidden behind another (invisible) frame (e.g. Message frame). Go to the layout editor and double check.
If you cannot see the frames in the layout editor, move aside the center configuration window.

I just downloaded 1.7.8 to try it out. The hud shows and the group shows but I cannot get scenario or warband to show.

I love this addon but on the several computer's I've installed it on I've noticed that when I un-hide the group window that it works once then when you zone the grps avatars disappear and you can't see their life. This is an issue when I'm not on a healing toon and just want to see my regular grp window. I've deleted my user/interface addons then added them back in and again...it works the first time but as soon as I zone the grp window disappears again, I know at least 5 people I play with that have the same problem...any fixes?

Had a question about the buff debuff section is there some specific on what the extent the spell library is meaning does it include NPC spells and what are the numbers i put in the 2 small boxes. I was unable to find anything about this in the manual.
And a request would it be possible to have and option to show a specific debuff as a frame outline or for it to change the entire color of a unit frame?

Hi,
Why buffs/debuffs are shown in two places? Below own frame (with me and my targets) and to the left of it? Exactly same set as I noticed. Also, I would like to see hostile tarhet health in red, not in green... or customizable :-)
Secondly, it would be nice for me if I could add square with my character to the group frame, to see whole group (6 members) there.
In general tab, more help regarding friendly and hostile spells would be nice. Hard to figure out what they mean at first.
Last thing that I'm missing is level of character. Please add option too show it somewhere on square.
Regards, Gruin.

Does "Range Check" work for targets you do not actually click on?
Aliane said that this is a limitation to the WAR API.
I would like grayed out (or otherwise marked) targets that are not in Heal Range/LoS - without having to click on them beforehand.
