Addon to let me know when focus target is in range

[Bombercloner]

My guild is progressing on Elisande and I am part of the recursion interrupt rotation. However, I have been getting blasted by blast because I am often the closest player to that add. My RL says to stand behind the tank, but I am afraid this will put me out of range. I am using a focus interrupt macro to kick recursion so I do not want to have to target the add ever.

I think elvui has unit frames that fade when the target is out of range. I like using the blizzard default unit frames. Is it possible to make them fade out when the target is out of range? Is there a WA string that I could let me know if the target is in range/out of range?

Thanks

The location API is disabled in instances. However, you can use IsSpellInRange using your interrupt spell. You could also choose one of your spells closer and another one further to get a better idea of how close you are, like make three WeakAuras with the three spells and have them fade in/out or light up like a tiny three-part meter.

/script SetCVar("nameplateMaxDistance", 45) hides nameplates beyond 45y
You can change the number to your liking

This is also useful for spells (dragon's breath, barrage, etc) that tend to pull unwanted adds by accident

So it is possible to make a WA where the icon is Counterspell, and then it goes red if my focus target is out of range?

I am really bad with WA's I usually just import them. I use TMW for things I need to make on my own. Is it possible to make one like what I described in TMW. Thanks for the tips both of you.

As long as TMW accepts custom functions just like WA, yes, you should be fine.

So I found an older post that seems to cover this topic a bit: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...e-Usable-skill

Does WA still work in this way?

If so will this trigger work for my purposes?

function()
if(IsSpellInRange("Counterspell", "focus") == 1) then
return true
else
return false
end
end

What is the purpose of having an untrigger like mentioned in that other thread?

Basically the untrigger is what happens if the trigger returns anything that isn't true.
