Hi!
I'm looking for an addon that would show me enemies in current scenario, something similar to battleground enemies from wow, and possibly to click them / target them.
Does anything like that exist?

Nothing like that exists for this game
The closest thing is "enemy" addon it'll allow you to place clickable markers above players

You can actually use "targets" addon (iirc) to show you enemies in range (with name and class), but it cannot be used to target them.

There used to be one called detaunt helper I think, that would tell you who is doing the most damage to you and allow you to click their names and then detuant them. Could probably be modified to work.

FYI it is now impossible to target enemies via addons except through /assist

it was possible with nerfed buttons working, just learned it via original warhammer api and lua in detaunt addon
My target is that archer board, when i click the frame of enemy who deals damage to me, detaunt wants to change target via nerfed buttons api, but it doesn't work, i'm not skilled enough to fix it tho

It will never work as it utilizes the /target command that's non-existent.
Even with "NB working" (still works btw) you could not make it happen.
Code: Select all
function DetauntHelper.TargetPlayer(playerName)
DetauntHelper.DetauntTargetName = playerName;
if DetauntHelper.CurrentTargetName == DetauntHelper.DetauntTargetName then
if DHSLocal["SoundOn"] then
PlaySound(DHSLocal["TargetAcquiredSound"]);
end
end
SystemData.UserInput.ChatText = towstring("/target "..playerName)
BroadcastEvent(SystemData.Events.SEND_CHAT_TEXT)
end
There's a way to target a friendly player utilizing the below without actually clicking on them or even seeing them first, but it only works for Friendly Targets and naturally requires you to have some kind of a window you could click on to execute this.
Code: Select all
local targetGameAction = EA_Window_ContextMenu.GameActionData( GameData.PlayerActions.SET_TARGET, 0, PlayerMenuWindow.curPlayer.name )

I might be wrong here but I’m pretty sure there was actually an addon that worked similarly to BattleGroundEnemies from WoW.
We used it when we used to run 6s.
Now I don’t think it was on Idrinth so I think it was a custom addon - but in terms of it being technically possible I’m pretty confident it would be.
It would just have to use Enemy’s code and play around with how the UI looks so it would hover.
I could be misremembering and thinking of a different project I’m on. But someone may be able to validate what I’m saying here.
