This mod is an event tracker that will watch for a given event and pop up a warning in chat or on screen. It is similar to SCT or EavesDrop, but lets you spam customized events to the channel of your choice. If you want something to spam *you* when events happen, feel free to use one of those other mods. If you want to be able to set up warnings for any combat event and announce it pretty much anywhere, this mod's for you.
To get started, first set up some rules to monitor the events you want to watch. There are a lot of ways to choose what you want to see, including the event's source, the event's target, the watched-for spellname, the affiliation or category of events you want to watch, and the channel where the warning is sent. To see all of any of these things, just leave it blank. You can also use partial event/source/target/spell names to cast a wider net (ex: AURA), or full names to limit triggers (ex: SPELL_AURA_REMOVED). (See slash commands and examples below.) Rules are additive, so using a rule showing all "self" events with one showing all "raid" events will result in two lines per event. Rules and enable settings are saved across sessions by character (initial default is "off" but it will stay on until you turn it off).
For example, set the "affiliation" dropdown box to "target" and the output channel to "SELF" (leave the other rule options blank). Hit the "Add Rule" button; you'll see your new rule printed in the chat window. Toggle the bottom-left button from "Disabled" to "*Enabled*". Now whenever you target a player or a mob, their combat events will be output to your chat window.
**Slash Commands**
/tjh or /tjh gui for GUI
/tjh help for this list
/tjh on (to activate)
/tjh off (to deactivate)
/tjh rule EVENT_NAME;SourceName;TargetName;SpellName;Affiliation;Channel;Spam (leave blank to see all of a type, ex: /tjh rule SUMMON;;;;enemy;; channel defaults to SELF)
/tjh list (to list current rules)
/tjh delete (to delete all rules)
/tjh delete;3 (to delete the third rule)
/tjh reset (deletes all rules, resets output to SELF)
**Valid Source/Target Names**
Player names, NPC names, and object names as seen in the in-game tooltips. Also accepts the active target or focus at that time.
**Channel Options**
Channel settings: SELF/WARN/PARTY/RAID/RAID_WARNING/RW/RS/PlayerName/ChannelName/auto (to set output channel to SELF, RAID, whisper a player, or use a custom channel, etc.) SELF is the default channel. Enabling the "Auto-Select Channel" checkbox sets the rule channel to "auto" -- rules with "auto" as the channel will be output to self, party, or raid chat depending on your group status.
Channel settings are on a "by rule" basis; each event is output to the specified channel. For example the first rule spams RAID when anyone takes Spout damage, the second alters a custom mage channel when a stealable buff is applied:
/tjh rule ;Lurker;;Spout;;RAID;
/tjh rule AURA_APPLIED;Greyheart Nether-Mage;;Arcane Destruction;;GDMAGES;
**Custom Rule Spam**
Basics: You have the option to set custom spam text for each rule, which replaces the standard combat log-type output. For example, if Savar is my main tank:
/tjh rule SPELL_AURA_APPLIED;;Savar;Mortal Strike;;RW;Incoming heals on Savar reduced by 50%!
Dynamic Variables: using any of the following in your spam will substitute the current event's variable, or blank if that variable is nil:
*event = current event's name
*source = current event's source
*target = current event's target
*spell = current event's spellname
-- Note: depending on the event, these variables may not always give you what you expect, but they can be great for rules like the following:
/tjh rule UNIT_DIED;;;;raid;RW;*target is down!
**Affiliation**
The last rule option can be used to filter out all events except those that affect either self/party/raid/friend/enemy/target/focus. So if you want to see every time a buff expires on your current focus (whatever that is), use "/tjh rule SPELL_AURA_REMOVED;;;;focus;;" (Note: this would also trigger if your focus removed a buff from another mob.)
