Is anyone having issues with their range finder on grid when 'crowd controlled'? As a sheep etc everyone appears 'out of range'. This a new occurance and very annoying in rated battlegrounds.

Please search the thread, this has been asked over and over again. Hint: GridManaBars - WoW AddOns - WowAce.com

Does anyone know a solution how I can fade out raidmembers in Grid at Beth'ilac's spiderweb platform? I'm the healer for targets at Beth'ilac's ground platform but GridStatusMultiRange or the implemented Grid Range Check always shows me players in range that are not at the ground. Unfortunatly GridStatusLineOfSight does not work for 4.2 because the author takes a break from WoW.

Check out Fiery Web Silk - Spell - World of Warcraft for the debuff players get on the upper plane. Using that and grid's built in configuration capabilities, it's easy to fade out people who are on the web.

(e) Actually right now I'm not sure it's a Debuff and not a Buff, but the comment on wowhead says so.

You could check if GridStatusCloseUp still works, it can probably be used in that way.

Is there a way to make a Grid aura status that checks if one of two buffs are active? Specifically I'm trying to make a side indicator trigger if neither Arcane Brilliance or Dalaran Brilliance is not on the raid. Obviously getting all the mages to just use AB would solve the problem, but I'm hoping there is a more elegant solution.

Not sure right now, do the buffs have an option "show missing"? I think so... so what you could do is the following: Make 4 Statuses "AB", "DB", "AB missing", "DB missing" and assign them to the same indicator. Make the first 2 of them a higher priority than the last 2, and configure them with alpha set to 0. Configure the last 2 the way you want them to show up if stuff's missing.

That way, if any of the 2 buffs is there, one of the first 2 statusses "wins" by priority, so the alpha is set to 0, so you see nothing. If none is there, the others show up. Actually, I think you can just do with the first 3 and leave out the last.

Small question about grid. I play paladin. I made icon which show when someone does not have BoK on him. BoK gives +5 % to major stats but this buffs can be provide also bye druids or monks. Then i switch and buff BoM (mastery buff), but icons showing missing BoK ofc still are up. How to make something like:

- if no one else in party/raid provide + 5% then icon up and i buff BoK
- if someone in part/raid can provide + 5% then show instead icon with missing BoM
- if BoK and BoM are provided bye someone else just dont show missing buff icon
