This project is inactive and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. The author may have abandoned it, or it may have outlived its usefulness.

Emergency Monitor Version 1.4


Description:

This mod constantly keeps your friendly target set to the person with the lowest health that is in RANGE and LOS of a defined spell. This way a healer can spam one of their heals and be assured that it will do something useful.

Use /emhelp to get a full description of commands as well as the current settings.

Right now it will check all players in your party, scenario or warband depending on settings. You can toggle checking in scenario on and off with /emtogglescenariochecking and warband checking with /emtogglewarbandchecking

Note: To change the minimum time between health, range and los checks, use the command

/emsetminUpdateFrequency 2.0

for example to change it from the default of every half second to every 2 seconds.

Note: MUST INSTALL THE LIBSLASH MOD TO USE EMonitor

Type /emhelp to get a list of commands

Setup:

Step 1) To start, set the ability it will use to check the range and validity of targets with /emsetfriendlyability(spellname) where spellname is one of your ranged heals, for example "Soul Essence" for DoK.

Step 2) Now set up a macro using the command /script EMonitor_Toggle()

Step 3) Hotkey this macro to a easy to use button.

Step 4) Now set up a macro to use the script command /script EMonitor_Target_Lowest

Now you should be fully set up. Instantly you should see your friendly target changing depending on if the people in your party are getting hurt. When you want to heal or buff yourself (that is, if you arent the lowest health already), just hit your hotkey bound to the macro in Steps 2 and 3 and it will toggle off EMonitor and select yourself. Then hit the macro again to start it up.


Another way to use it, is to have the mod toggled off all the time, and use

/script EMonitor_Target_Lowest()

in a macro to find a person to heal when you want to heal someone.


Caveats: This is a brainless heal mod for those that do not want to deal with the crappy heal UI that warhammer provided. Even though it checks range and los that does not mean that the lowest health person will always be the best target, they just happen to be the lowest. In many situations it might be better to heal someone that isnt quite as low. However, for those that would rather pay attention to other things, this is the mod for you!

As for some that say this mod does too much, well, too bad. If you dont like it, dont use it. Until they add a self-cast bind and a way to click-to-cast and make healing fun, I hope people find this mod useful.

EXTRA: Some users are experiencing problems with the IsTargetValid function that is used to check range and los. Try and put this ability on your main hotbar(bar 1) and have that bar visible, which seemed to help some people. It is also possible that the IsTargetValid check was changed by the developers. Testing is being done and hopefully we will find a workaround.

Future Plans:

1) Add pet support 2) Add a GUI configuration

    Works fine in scenerios for me. Did you set your ability check for LOS and range?

    I can't seem to get this addon to work, when Im in a scenario I can't seem to have it do anything. I havent been in a perty larger than one person outside of scenario's to test that. How do you make it work?

     I am putting up a new version soon that, when turned off, you can hit a hotkey to target the lowest person in range and los. It also does its checks based on a small time interval rather than health updates so it is easier on the machine.

    As for the flagging/coloring out of range people, CleanUnitFrames is working on that but there are some difficulties doing that perfectly due to the API. Definitely check out CleanUnitFrames though.

    I really like this idea, mainly due to the lack of information in the current interface. But, I would love to see a manual version. Something that I can assign to a macro that when clicked will find the party member I set the criteria for (line of site, lowest health, in range, certain class, or even something that would cycle through my party, warband, scenario mates that are in range and in LOS.

    The current situation is just a little frustrating, click on player one; look at abliity, hot key is red, next; rinse and repeat until you get a in range and LOS on the ability. Now that is a grind.

    I think the auto-target is a bit over the top, and even as you mentioned, get in the way of choosing appropriate targets. It does take a bit out of the skill portion of healing.

    Is there a way for you to flag or color the party, warband and scenario sections to indicate inrange, in line of sight members? That would be ideal to me, just to identify who I can and cannot help.

    Thanks for your work!

    RIght now it will not select out of range targets. It will only select targets that are in RANGE and LOS. That is, people you can heal.

    What does it do with out of range targets ?
