Post Your Small Addon API Suggestions Here

A functionality like GoGo Mount from Wow would be cool.
Was the only Addon I had.
You could enable a hotkey for mounting and then it casts a random mount each time you mount up.

[Noshei]

any chance we could get a new field on Inspect.Unit.Detail for the units Global CD?

[Noshei]

also would be great if we can get an option to make text scale to the height of the frame it is in.

Inspect.Time.Server()

Returns something similar to os.time(), only provided by the server and guaranteed to be monotonically-increasing and probably correct.

I second this. I'd love an addon that tells me which daily quests i've done today, but both time functions base on the time your session started, so there's no way to tell what "today" is.

this is already really in the game through the os.time function. This will return the unix time for the host os, this is obviously dependent on the users computer having a fairly accurate time of course. I don't really see that as a draw back though as it is pretty much common practice to have the time synced from a time server (this is the default setting in windows).


oh that and Inspect.Time.Server is already on the PTS.

Would like to see MouseEnter/MouseLeave and MouseOver/MouseOut events. Because i have some problems detecting MouseIn for my addon frame.

Leave: http://i.imgur.com/TsZYn.jpg
I want to accomplish that.

One way around was creating a frame above all other frames, set mouse masking to limited and catch MouseIn/MouseOut events. But this solution consumes other MouseIn/Out events i need :/

Good news and bad news:

The good news is that I think I've come up with a way to provide this.

The bad news is that, if it happens, it's going to be part of a full event system redesign, and that's gonna take a bit.

I'm not sure if that's encouraging or not, but that's the state of things.

[Noshei]

would it be possible to get an event for when the "You have mail." message is displayed in the console?

[Noshei]

I'm sure this has been asked for before but would it be possible to get:

Inspect.Guild.List() - returns list of guild memebers by id and status (offline, mobile, online)
Inspect.Guild.Detail() - with no parameters returns detailed information about the guild, basically the stuff in each of the tabs except roster
Inspect.Guild.Detail() - with parameter of player id, returns detailed information on that player (guild only information: calling, zone, status, level, name, rank, score, member notes and officer notes(if accessible))

UI.Native:GetScale()

It would be much easier to maintain proper size of my minimap button (relative to size of minimap), if I had this.

[Imhothar]

UI.Native:GetScale()

It would be much easier to maintain proper size of my minimap button (relative to size of minimap), if I had this.

You can get that yourself for now. Get the default width of the minimap window at 100% scale and compare it to the current GetWidth() to calculate it's scale factor.

actually, it's even easier than that with 1.9 (wednesday update confirmed), just use
Inspect.Setting.Detail('displayUiScale')

Also just in case you haven't seen it, here is a list of all the available settings we can now inspect (use Inspect.Setting.List() to get them)

I should totally modify /print to use the console feature now.

Yes, totally I should do that instead of actually playing the game for a bit. :P

[Kreiri]

You can get that yourself for now. Get the default width of the minimap window at 100% scale and compare it to the current GetWidth() to calculate it's scale factor.

How do I know when UI element is at 100% scale?

actually, it's even easier than that with 1.9 (wednesday update confirmed), just use
Inspect.Setting.Detail('displayUiScale')

I do not mean global UI scale. I mean scale slider in UI layout settings. each UI element has its own slider.

Tell me when you figure how to pass vararg (as in print(...)) into Command.Console.Display().
