[GRID] Addons and Functionality - Page 44

I'm a big fan of GRID but there is one little feature that i really have been missing.

I would like to have assisting raidmembers (Raidmembers with the same target as me) highlighted in GRID, is that possible to do?

I have been using grid for a while now, and i've never really thought of this, but is there a way to make the grid unit for players that are out of range, fade out a bit so i know which ones are in range of a heal? It takes too much time to fumble about trying dropping heals on people that arent in range, when someones health that you could be healing, randomly drops while you're fumbling with that, and then wipes.

I've looked through all the grid extensions on curse and havnt found anything that could be used like that, if I'm overlooking anything please let me know!

thanks.

yes, actually i did, i tried that last night and it still didnt do anything which is why i posted that. seeing if there was an addon that potentially could do that, i have the lastest versions of all my grid extensions. i set grid range exactly the way it was answered above, but it did nothing. thus my question.

Is there any way to change the transparency of the Center Icon? I added custom debuffs to grid and showing them on the Center icon slot (like Ignis's Slag Pot and so on). But if the icon is up, i can't see the player's current HP clearly. I like the way am i using the Center icon+debuffs just want to change the opacity of the icon.

Anyone got a answer for this? i find this very annoying aswell.

Set the range priorities lowest to highest. I use 10 yards 81, 20 yards 82, 30-83, 40-84, 100-90.

I cant seem to find where to put this in, and what are the 80+ numbers.

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.

there it is

Thank you very much! I didn't even think to look on the wowace site.

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.
