I've been using an old version of grid for awhile and I just updated, and I can't get the basic health frames to work like they used to.

What I want (and used to have) was the ability to set one color for the unit frame, and another color for missing health. Just like in this image:

Instead what I get is the entire frame has changed color, with only a slight different in shading between the health and missing health, as seen here (ignore the labels):

I have the problem with and without using class colors.

Furthermore, when I set "Agro Alert" for the health bar color, instead of the entire unit frame turning a solid red, I still see the shading between health and missing health.

I can easily do this by editing GridFrame.lua, but I'd rather fix it via the config so I don't have to manually fix it every time I update.

Any1 getting problems recently with clicks not always casting heals?

I have been trying to get Grid to show me the corner indicators for the last two days but to no avail, i've downloaded gridstatusdruidbuffs, statusbuffs, sideindicators and still have not been able to get it to do that, i've set rejuvenation a pink color to show in the bottom left corner, regrowth in the top left corner as a green,aggro alert as red in the top right corner, and a lifebloom countdown timer in the center text 2 indicator, with swiftmend in the center icon, but i havnt been able to get that work either.

has anyone else had this problem? if so, how did you solve it because i cant get anything to work.

EDIT: nvmd i got it to work finally, after hours playing with it, its working!

Okay, I feel a little silly having trouble with what I understand should be a relatively simple macro, but here goes...

I'm running Grid + Clique, and I am trying to set it up so that when I cast Power Word: Shield on a target, it also activates my energy syphon (sitting in the first trinket slot). I created a macro that looks like this:

/use 13
/cast [target=mouseover] Power Word: Shield

It activates the energy syphon no problem... but it never casts any shields. If I remover the [target=mouseover] it only ever casts shields on myself. How can I remedy this?

Edit:

Nevermind, Ainarsong helped me out. The line needed to read:

/cast [target=mouseover,exists][] Power Word: Shield

Is there a plug in for Grid that puts more squares in the corners of grid boxes? GridIndicatorSideIcons sounds like it puts them in the middle of each side, which I don't want. GridIndicatorCornerPlus sounds like it's exactly what I want, but its Curse page seems to be gone and I can't find it on WoWinterface.

[Grid] GridIndicatorCornerPlus - WowAce Forums
there it is

With a tremendous amount of help from Shadowed (author of Shadowed Unitframes), I have modified the Layout portion of Grid to allow you to set specific layouts for (1) WSG, (2) AB/EoTS/SoTA, (3) AV/IoC. You'll find it attached. I've sent a PM to the author of grid to offer the changes if they are so inclined to include them in the public version. This works fine with 3.2, likely to break if something else in Grid breaks though. Still going to try and incorporate Wintergrasp as well. If I do, I will update here also.

Anyone have some problem with GRID after the patch?
I can't see the players HP bar anymore and i din't change the settings

Regarding Grid and mouse clicks.
This is a long known issue, and it's not Grid's problem.
The WOW client treats mouse buttons 1-5 as special cases when they are hovering over any unitframe. The client intercepts the mouseclick, and if you had a macro/ability bound to it, it wouldn't fire normally.
It takes an addon to enable spellcasting over an unitframe using only a mousebutton (ie: Clique/Healbot/Vuhdo)
The other option is to change your mouse button settings, and instead of having mousebutton 4 and higher fire as "button 4" make it register as a keypress such as "LShift+P" Something obscure you wouldn't normally use. This is usually done in the manufacturer's software (Setpoint for Logitech users).

Hope this has been helpful to someone.

I've been showing my hots and other druids hots in the same spot (per hot) in my grid set up for quite some time now (and I'm positive I got the idea from someone up-thread, but now I can't find their post). It's worked great and would continue to be fine but for HM Vezax. With mana being a concern for that fight, I want to see the time left on my hots (specifically rejuv & regrowth) counting down on top of the square indicating that another druid has hots up. I *technically* have this working, but no matter what I do with the priority settings, the squares for the other druid(s) hots are always on top of the text of my hot's time remaining.

I'm also having the same issue when I'm using indicators & indicator text at the top/bottom of the frame.

Any suggestions?

I'm using Grid (not grid2) as well as the following Grid modules:

For the normal four corners
--GridIndicatorCornerText

For the top/bottom
--GridSideIndicators
--GridIndicatorSideText


Edit: When I have grid set up so that I just want to see if my hots are on the target, they show up on top of other druid(s) hots as they should. It's only when I use the text that the priority system seems to not work.

Just a heads up about a new unit frame addon called Injector. It mimics Grid's basic functionalities but with the CPU and memory consumption of oUF. Seems perfect for those satisfied with default Grid and those looking to code their own unit frames but don't want to get involved with oUF's full blown framework. Since it is in the order of ~700 lines of cleanly written code it is very easy to add your own stuff to it.

The new T9 idol for resto druids: Idol of Flaring Growth - Item - World of Warcraft procs a 234 spell power buff. The issue is that, in the french version of the client, this buff has exactly the same name ("Récupération") as the rejuvenation buff itself. Grid can apparently not make the difference between these, and the corner indicator associated with the rejunevation buff is thus constantly showing in my own cell (the proc is almost always active) even when I dont have a rejuv buff.

Is there a way to avoid this issue? Can grid differentiate buffs depending on their IDs for instance?

I was wondering whether anyone is using Grid Dynamic Layout with 3.2
I am still fairly new to Grid but I haev been struggling to find where the config option may have been added logically or illogically.

As I understand it, it should just be an additional layout choice - except it isn't listed and hence can't be selected.
So what I'm hoping is that someone else is using it, I've been stupid and there is an obvious solution that I've missed

Apologies for not offering any information in return as I usually would but in the middle of a Yogg raid and kind of need the info ASAP, but:

Can anyone let me know how prevent a specific debuff from showing on Grid2? Sanity showing on every single raid member during Yogg fight is extremely irritating.

What did you do that Grid shows it to you in the first place? Normally it displays only decurse-able debuffs or debuffs you explicitly enabled.
Anyway you can use GridStatusControlPipes to filter certain buffs from showing up. (This only blocks the aura from showing up, it does not necessarily makes space for other auras).

It was there by default on Grid2

Is there any way to move the central icon? For my purposes, seeing the debuff icon and quickly recognizing it, as well as being able to identify the player name is more important than knowing if they're at 100% health or 75% health. I would like to move the icon to the right side of the frame where I can make it larger and still keep 5 or 6 letters of player name visible.

Anyone know if there is a plugin that tracks distance of players to each other? For example if I mouseover a target it will highlight all the people within 18 yards of him/her. I'm trying to maximise the number of hits when i cast Circle of Healing.

I believe that such an addon would have to be installed by all raid members and communicate between them to gather this information.

Each person can get a sense of who is "near" him, but I do not believe there is a way to ask "how close is person one to person two" if one of them is not you.

I don't know when this started happening, but somethign change recnetly. It might have been the patch.

Anyways, previously, when somebody died, the range still worked. It woudl show them in range or not of my rebirth spell.

If somebody needed a battle res, i'd run around until the frame turned 'bright', then i could cast it.

Lately, though, this doesn't work at all. And I have no idea how to fix it.

PLEASE HELP!

They probably released.

I somehow managed to put a black backdrop on grid's font but can't find an option to turn this off, someone know how to do this?
