okay so i saw this addon linked on my servers irc channel on quakenet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYu9uHLCbG0

Question is, has anyone come across this addon? i'd love to get my hands on it for some good old fashioned experimentation! ;) for those who arent willing to watch the video, with the latest patch any party member can now assign targeting icons. the mod basically cycles through all icons above all party members heads. pointless? yes. useful? no. fun for a short time? most definitely!

so if anyone out there has this or knows where it's at, please for the love of god share it !

mean!

local addon = CreateFrame("Frame")

local t = 0
local partypos = 0
local iconpos = 0
local units = {"player", "party1", "party2", "party3", "party4"}

f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self, el)
	if t > 1 then --update icons after a sec
		local unit
		if partypos == 5 then
			partypos = 0
		end
		partypos = partypos + 1
		
		if iconpos == 8 then
			iconpos = 0
		end
		iconpos = iconpos + 1
		SetRaidTarget(units[partypos], iconpos)
		t = 0
	end
	t = t + el
end)
f:Hide()

local y = function()
	addon:Show()
end

local n = function()
	addon:Hide()
	for i = 1, 5 do
		SetRaidTarget(units[i], 0)
	end
end
		
local cmds = setmetatable({
	-- enable
	on = y,
	enable = y,
	go = y,
	["true"] = y,
	y = y,
	--disable
	off = n,
	disable = n,
	stop = n,
	["false"] = n,
	n = n
}, {__index = function()
	if addon:IsShown() then
		n()
	else y()
	end
end})
	
SlashCmdList["ICONHELL"] = function(msg)
	local a = msg:match("(%S+)")
	if a then
		cmds[a:lower()]()
	end
end


SLASH_ICONHELL1 = "/iconhell"
SLASH_ICONHELL2 = "/ihell"

make an addon file stick in the code, then type /ihell .

quick warning, it's a 100% drycoded, but might work properly on first go.

ihell.lua:8: attempt to index global 'f' (a nil value)

Quote from OrionShock

find/replace "f" -> "addon"

found that out myself. :) Doesnt seem to work either way.

edit: no error messages, just doesnt apply icons.

It does more than just cycle icons. :P

Not that I have it, but some jerk wad kept using it in my 5man. :(

Yeah, it also irritates the crap out of everyone in your party. If I found myself grouped with someone running such an obnoxious addon, I would immediately leave and add them to my ignore list. :|

or vote kick

The problem, of course, is figuring out WHO is running it.

local addon = CreateFrame("Frame")

local t = 0
local partypos = 0
local iconpos = 0
local units = {"player", "party1", "party2", "party3", "party4"}

addon:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self, el)
	if t > 1 then --update icons after a sec
		local unit
		if partypos == 5 then
			partypos = 0
		end
		partypos = partypos + 1
		
		if iconpos == 8 then
			iconpos = 0
		end
		iconpos = iconpos + 1
		SetRaidTarget(units[partypos], iconpos)
		t = 0
	end
	t = t + el
end)
addon:Hide()

local function y()
	addon:Show()
end

local function n()
	addon:Hide()
	for i = 1, 5 do
		SetRaidTarget(units[i], 0)
	end
end

local function toggle()
	if addon:IsShown() then
		n()
	else y()
	end
end
	
local cmds = setmetatable({
	-- enable
	on = y,
	enable = y,
	go = y,
	["true"] = y,
	y = y,
	--disable
	off = n,
	disable = n,
	stop = n,
	["false"] = n,
	n = n
}, {__index = toggle})
	
SlashCmdList["ICONHELL"] = function(msg)
	local a = msg:match("(%S+)")
	if a then
		cmds[a:lower()]()
	else
		toggle()
	end
end


SLASH_ICONHELL1 = "/iconhell"
SLASH_ICONHELL2 = "/ihell"

Does this work (I don't have a wow account so I can't test.

after changing "f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self, el)" to "addon:SetScript" it works.

Quote from Dridzt

Thank god for infinite ignore addons.

It'd be fun to tease friends/guildies with it for a while but yeah, this type of code should not be found "ready-packed" for those immature people who'd eventually spam it in every lfg group, pug raid, etc. >:(

Using this is the fastest way to get SetRaidTarget() protected. Not only is this a nuisance for the players in the group, it is a stress on Blizzard bandwidth.

Don't do it, educate other that would do it not to if they care about the freedom of addons to set the raid target.

They'd just change it to a hardware event, not full out spellcasting and movement type protection.

*edit* Which, honestly, might not be a bad idea.
