Buttons Flashing

This addon is able to make suggestions of what spell you may want to cast next by flashing on top of the spell buttons.

This addon has functionality added for Warriors, Hunters, Warlocks, Pets and Argent Tournament mounts so far.

Support has been added for the addons: Bartender, Dominos, Extra Bars, nUI and OpenRDX.

Please let me know what you think! I would appreciate any feedback I can get. I have not been able to extensively test this addon out other than with a trial account, because I have ran out of game time and can not afford to buy any more at the moment.

If you like this addon please rate it.

To open the SpellFlash options window, you may use the following slash commands:
/spellflash
/sflash
/sf

I have been trying to use these colors for labeling what kinds of spells are being flashed:
White: Default
Yellow: Limited Time or No Global Cooldown
Purple: AOE or Positional Damage
Blue: AOE Debuff
Orange: Finishing Move
Aqua: Spell Interrupt, Reflect or Dispel
Green: Self Buff or Turn Autocast On
Red: Emergency Mitigation Cooldowns or Turn Autocast Off
Pink: Optional

Will flash a macro if the macro itself is named/labeled with the desired spell name with the upper case letter F attached to the end of the macro name/label.
Example: Heroic StrikeF
Example: Commanding ShouF
The spell name must be in the language of the used game client with the capital letter F at the end of it.
If the macro name/label is renamed,
then you will need to move the macro off of or onto one of the action bars for the change to be detected.
This will not be able to flash more then one spell for each macro since a macro may only have one macro name/label.

If you have even five or ten dollars to spare it would mean an awful lot to me and my family.

    Thank you, it is nice to receive appreciation. I don't get much if any money though, so I may not be able to continue development for a while. I can not afford to play the game any longer. Not sure when I will be able to again.

    Im using bartender 4 with my destro rotation on bar 6, the app flashes fine, but it flashes on my pets bar, not my actual rotation bar? any ideas?

    I have it set up to register the action bar button number that a spell has been found on. The problem with this is that some action bars duplicate an action bar button number and I have it stop searching for more action bar slots after the button number has been found. I could have it continue to search the rest of the bars but in most cases this would just be a redundant flash that would only serve to wast more system resources. I may just have it scan all bars in the next release anyway, and if I get complaints I can always add an option in the options window to have it only search for the first found spell button on the bars.

    I would like to add more classes and I have included the components necessary for more classes to be added, I just do not know enough about other classes I don't play to add the necessary rotation scripts. Someone on another sight has expressed interest in adding the code for Mages himself, so hopefully that will pan out some day. I do not know how complicated Paladins are, but since they are mostly a melee class they might not be any more difficult to add script for then the Warrior class. I however am not familiar with Paladins at all.

    If anyone wants to donate any code to add functionality for classes that have not been covered I would gladly include it.

    I like this addon, but I get a LUA error this first time I enter combat with my warrior after login. Other than that, it seems to work perfectly.

    My warrior is currently level 8.

    I will hopefully have this bug removed in the next release. As far as I can tell it does not harm functionality, just produces an error.

    The next release should have this bug fixed. Looks like is was a simple mistake that I have already repaired in the version I am about to upload.

    Works great on my Beastmaster Hunter spec, on Survival spec only Hunter's Mark flashes, even after I've cast it several times. Tried soloing and testing, never flashes anything other than Hunter's Mark.

    Not much is different between specs. What are you missing? Are they on your bars? I have tested survival myself and have found no problems so far.

  • zyxifrash1 said 

    Did you do a full respec, or did you switch to a secondary spec? Do you scan for known spells on load, or do you catch the secondary spec switch?

    Haven't tested it yet, but I'm going to try switching to surv then relogging.

    It does a scan for spells on your bars for many events such as new spell learned, talents changed, as well as switching from one spec to another. It does scan correctly, I have tested it to be working. Could you be more specific as to the problem you are having with it?

    Found the problem...I had Hunters Mark 4 on my bar, but Hunters Mark 5 in my spellbook. I ended up grouping with another hunter who cast 5, and the rotation worked perfectly whenever he marked the mobs - I have to assume everything will work now.

    Blasted dual specs not updating action bars automatically!

    First of all... great AddOn, thank you!

    - this AddOn won´t detecting my chimera shot (as well as my chimera-macro), which means this shot won´t flashed
    my Macro says:
    SchimärenschussF as Name (german version... you can translate it on wowhead)
    and:
    #showtooltip
    /cast Schimärenschuss
    /cast Unterdrückender Schuss (silencing Shot)

    - for Marksmen-Hunter you´ve integrated a wrong shot-rotation... EJ says (HuntersMark/SerpentSting/ChimeraShot/ArcaneShot/AimedShot/SteadyShot/(SilencingShot))

    i apologize my poor english... =)

    I am not completely sure about the rotation, but I did add a few seconds leniency for Chimera Shot to compensate for air travel time. I also added an indicator for Silencing Shot if the target is casting or channeling.
