also, having range filter on health status means that it'll show anyone out of range as full health.

Hey guys, not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but no one has mentioned it. Since the 2.2 patch, my range checker seems to be off. It works, but it says people are OOR when they're actually not. It's really annoying, especially for healing fights like Morogrim where I do Grave healing and the easiest way to see who got graved is to check their range. Unfortunately that doesn't work so well when it says half of them are OOR

Anyone know how to change the range to make it a bit further? I'm not sure how it got changed, but it's driving me crazy. Thanks in advance.

I absolutely love Grid and have been using it ever since I made my raiding main a priest in April. However I just recently added the Incoming Heals component and am a little confused as to the functionality. It seems to only predict values for heals that I cast, which kind of defeats the purpose as far as I'm concerned--I know what MY heals hit for, I just want to know what others' heals will hit for, especially when I know that they're casting a heal on said target because I have a corner square indicating someone other than myself is casting a heal on that target. Am I just going about setting up the IH predictor completely wrong?

never mind, misread your post

Since the 2.2 patch, I've been having problems with the addon, GridStatusHots. It doesn't show hots on people from other servers in BGs. If the person is from my server it works great, otherwise it won't show a hot on them at all. I looked through the code, and added some debug statements, and it appears GridStatusHots is getting the right hot count, but somehow it gets lost before it triggers a status change in Grid. Any ideas?

If I have a macro to cast renew on my "mouseover target" and I bind that macro to a key such as "E" it will cast renew if I'm "mousing over" a persons grid frame. If I bind that same macro to one of my mouse buttons instead such as "Middle Mouse", it will not cast renew on the person if I'm "mousing over" their grid frame.

My question is, if the UI is already using the mouse to check your "mouseover target", can it not execute a command issued via a mouse button?

Did you get an answer to this yet, Sigea? I'm having the exact same issue, and it seems to be independent of what unit frames you use (I experience the same thing with grid, pitbull, x-perl and the default party/raid frames (even with all addons disabled)).

Stranger still, mouseover someone running around in the world environment and it works fine. Hover over a frame, and it does not work. I'm a total macro rookie, so I made a post in the UI forums and the only advice I've been given so far is to use Clique, which I guess I'll have to do. Like you, my goal was to just use mouse buttons 4/5 and MM plus modifiers for healing/dispelling, and I am trying to avoid needing another mod like Clique.

Here's my post in the UI forums

WoW Forums -> Mouseover macro problem w/ unit frames

Taryenne · 10/08/07, 2:14 PM

Just been testing this, (I use RDX as all default frames)
No issue at all with either the same spell bound to a key or mouse button, or different spells under the same button modifier / mouse click
My suggestion is get Clique, it'll save you alot of headache

The incoming heals component you speak of gets it's data from the Incoming Heals Library. Incoming heals is a standalone addon, which add small numbers on unitframes whenever a heal is inc. It also has a pretty awesome graph feature which I can't live without.
Back to your question. Every healer needs to have the Incoming HealsLib installed for it to work properly. I don't know if IHLib is included in the Grid component, but I have all three (Incoming Heals, Incoming HealsLib and the Grid component) and I've set is as a rec that all healers need to have IH to raid with us. Ofc I tell them how to use it so that they also can get the advantage.

If anyone cares, here is a list of debuffs I have inputted into center icons that I personally feel are important to know about for every fight from Gruul to Illidan, sorted appropriately.

Not everyone will want every one of those, because some are magic specific and people who can't dispel may not want to show those, but a lot of these are just spells that cause 1 person a lot of damage so I can react to healing them faster.

For the majority of fights I just turn Bigwigs off now, because it would just be announcing the same shit I can see on my center icons already. Saves a couple FPS.

Can't seem to figure something out, maybe you folk can help.

In an effort to get rid of some memory usage, I uninstalled Decursive. My initial thought was "I'll just start using Grid". I don't see a reason to have Decursive when I already have Grid showing curses, but there are two things that I miss from Decursive that I cant seem to get Grid to do.

First, I loved the noise that Decursive made every time someone was cursed, and would love to somehow add that to Grid, but I can't find a way to do it. Is it even possible?

Second, I got used to just right-clicking the Decursive mini unit frames, so is it possible to replicate this with Grid? I know how to do a mouse-over Macro, but i am talking about somehow making it so that every time i right-click on a frame in Grid, it casts Decurse.

So what do you think, do I have a hope or should I just go back to Decursive?

Nice list, thank you.

This is easily done with Clique, though I'm not sure if the memory usage would warrent dropping Decursive (its more of a healer addon).

I dont think the sound can be done without editing the lua yourself, but you should try asking on WoWace IRC, those guys are great at questions like these.

Camora · 10/09/07, 10:43 PM

Well, another little part of it is that I don't want the mini unit frames taking up unnecessary room in my tiny UI (I desperately need a new monitor, sigh...)

GridAlert does what you're looking for. Read about it here.

JulianMaiev · 10/10/07, 3:29 PM

I'm probably just retarded, but does anybody else have trouble with their Clique/Grid combo not working? I go to heal somebody by shift-clicking on their unitframe, which is bound to a mouseover macro, and rather than healing that person it casts the heal on somebody else.

This wiped us twice on Morogrim last night before I went to a less-techy solution, so any help is much appreciated.

edit: I think that 2.2 broke this but I had some occasional trouble with it even before that.
