Can anyone explain why the most recent version of Clique and Grid wont work together for me? I go to add the grid frames to Clique in the 'Frames' option in the spellbook menu but they arent there? From everything I've read, they're meant to be there and its a simple process of ticking all the Grid boxes to show that Clique should apply to them?

I did a quick a search of this thread for the tags "chain" and "chain heal" hoping this question may have been covered somewhere, but only came up with one having something to do with RDX, stopcasting and Grid so decided to go ahead and post my question.

Anyway, I use Grid for my raid healing on my Resto Shaman with Chain Heal as my predominant heal. I keep Grid setup with most of its default settings, so for me it shows a green light to indicate incoming heals in the bottom left corner of the Unit Frame. Only thing is, Grid does not show an indicator light if I am casting Chain Heal. I get the indicator light if use Healing Wave or Lesser Healing Wave, but nothing for Chain Heal.

So has anyone else noticed this occurrence or know someway around it to make Grid show a Chain Heal as an incoming heal?

I have looked through the Grid options and menus quite a bit but keep coming up empty handed.

GridStatusIncomingHeals includes Chain Heals. It can also extimate the amount of healing that is incoming to every target. However every healer in the raid has to use the Mod (or rather the IncomingHeals library).

Thanks Hodor, I will look into that.

I've looked for this for a while and have not really seen the topic broached. What I am looking for is a way to change the bar coloring used within grid. The name plates can remain the class color but specifically i would like to change the class color being used on the bars, regardless of weather or not the healthbar being displayed is inverted or not.

Now, in grids config panel: GRID > STATUS > HEALTH there is an option to set a color that isn't class specific which would appear to be what I am looking for, IE a color for all health bars. However after I've set the color i can't seem to find a way to apply the color change.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and for those looking for vertically aligned layouts using only groups 1-5 and sorted by class. (As I'm a hunter and worry about doing MD's I've set warriors and druids to display first)

EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT NEVERMIND.

GridLayout:AddLayout(L["25 Single Col Class"], {
		[1] = {	groupFilter = "1,2,3,4,5,WARRIOR,DRUID,WARLOCK,MAGE,ROGUE,PRIEST,SHAMAN,PALADIN,HUNTER", 
				maxColumns = "1",
				maxUnitsPerColumn = "25",
                                strictFiltering = true,
			        groupBy = "CLASS",
				groupingOrder = "1,2,3,4,5,WARRIOR,DRUID,WARLOCK,MAGE,ROGUE,PRIEST,SHAMAN,PALADIN,HUNTER" ,
			  },
	})

I go to "Grid" -> "Status" -> "Out of Range" -> "Range to track" and I change this to 40 yards, but it keeps changing this back to 28 yards every time I relog. Anyone know what causes this and how I can keep it at 40 yards?

Are you using the same profile with another character ? That's the most likely explanation. As the other character has no spell with a 40 yard range, the range defaults back to the closest, 28 yards.

I'll look at improving this, but using different profiles for your differents characters will resolve this issue.

I have a new problem/bug with the newest version:

It now always shows dead people as Out of Range - anybody else have this problem (or better yet, a solution)?

Yes, I have this problem as well. It's somewhat annoying but yeah, I'm sure an easy fix.

Anyone notice the AFK status not toggling correctly if you are (I think) out of range when someone turns AFK off again?

First time grid user as of yesterday, have a few questions.

1. I see alot of UI with Black Frames and the Players name with their class color. I looked awhile last night and this morning and I can't find where that is :-/
2. My Raid Frames rest on my Bars, is there a way I can get them to grow up, instead of down. Especially when going from 40/25/10 mans.
Currently my groups go:
1
2
3
4
5

and I want them to go:
5
4
3
2
1
3. Is there a way to make the players health defecit go right to left, instead of top to bottom?

1. Grid -> Status -> Health: Turn off "use class color" for black bars.
Grid -> Status -> Unit Name: Turn on "use class color".
Grid -> Frame -> Center Text 1/2 -> Unit Name to show names if they arent shown.

2. Grid -> Layout -> Advanced -> Frame Anchor -> Bottomleft should do the trick.

3. Grid -> Frame -> Horizontal/Vertical Frames. (Might be Grid -> Layout too, but I'm sure you'll find it anyway)

Thanks.. I set up separate profiles for my druid and warrior and that fixed it.

Looking for some help on making a custom layout for grid. I would like to have the standard 5x5 grid, but sorted by class instead of by raid group. Is this at all possible, or am I stuck with either raid group sorting or individual class headers?

The GridLayoutForHealers plugin adds a bunch of extra layouts
