Thought i would take the plunge and try this and must say its a great addon already, one question though, how do i hide the ability icons from showing up on my text, don't really want to see them there all I'm after is text.
Hi,
I'm using parrot since day one. (I guess ;) ) Some feedback I have go give:
First some bug reports:
1. When playing around with triggers it usually happens that all (not just the one I changed) triggers are fired 3 times instead of one. Reload helps :)
2. When deleting a trigger, it stays until the game is reloaded. The trigger is gone from the menu, but still fires.
Then I have a feature request, but actually I'm not sure if this is already possible maybe you guys can help me with this. ( If this is already possible without adding new features)
I want to add a certain scroll area for all "important" messages. Right now I only want to display my finishing moves there. So I can better see if they missed or hit or whatever.
Its pretty spammy especially when doing PVP and its really hard to see what happens to your finishing move. I tried separating via the triggers and I can display a trigger message in my new scroll area if my Finish move hits. But as it seems I cannot use tags in these Trigger messages. (So I think I cannot add the amount of damage for example)
If this is possible, please add tags to trigger messages.
I'm not sure what happens if a finisher misses and if the trigger would still fire in that case. Also I have all finisher messages two times ( one in outgoing, one in new scroll area). I'm not sure if I could prevent this with suppressions) I think the easiest way to do what I want whould be adding some kind of condition to events. Like:
if EVENT_X contains FINISH_MOVE_NAME then display in CUSTOM_SCROLL_AREA.
Some other useful conditions may be:
if EVENT_Y contains SKILL_NAME then CHANGE_FONT_SIZE/TYPE to xyz.
or
if EVENT_Z IS_BLOCKED and SKILL_NAME is xyz then display as STICKY
or whatever. Just to give you some more examples so you can get an idea what I mean. :) Dont' know if adding this is possible.
That way I could directly move "special" stuff (i.e all finishing moves) to a custom scroll area. Right now I have to use triggers as kind of a "dirty" workaround.
Is there a function to disable/enable certain ScrollAreas?
For example i use Blizzard Damagetext when solo, but when in a raidgroup i want to be able to hit my "Raiding" macro and make my outgoing-damage ScrollArea visible.

Keep up the great work

Open the configuration gui and go to the General settings, there is an option to enable/disable the icons.
10 minutes with this addon convinced me to switch from MSBT. Awesome stuff ..... and so CPU friendly as well (a big deciding factor in my cae, since my frame rate drops drastically in raids)
Is it possible to say "<School> ready!" after being pummelled/kicked etc rather than listing each individual skill?
That would be nice. Would also like to be able to make spells that is on the same cooldown to share message. For example shamans shocks should be reported as "Shocks ready!".

Considering all the features in and still alpha just would say "indeed" ^^
parrot rules imo of a first time user, only one thing is missing to get a near perfect addon for me indead :
when you throttle skill damages if it possible to show how many target where affecte by effect, this permit to know if i swipe on 2 or 3 target for exemple.
for example : swipe 780 (2hit, 1 crit)
like msbt feat.
otherwise i m really seduce by this addon and new features, keep up the good work, really ;)
Feature request (or possibly I'm missing it in the config if it's already in):
I'd like to move my spell DOTs to a separate scroll area. I've created the new scroll area, but I don't see spell DOTs in the outgoing damage types list. There are healing and skill DOT sections, but not spell (that I can see).
Beautiful work on this addon. Pre-release and it's already sweet. Thank you!

*sigh* Skill just means it can be either an Ability or a Spell.

Request; Get bigger font crits, when not using Sticky.
Atm, I can only get bigger font crits if I choose sticky (and I dont want sticky).
when you throttle skill damages if it possible to show how many target where affecte by effect, this permit to know if i swipe on 2 or 3 target for exemple.
for example : swipe 780 (2hit, 1 crit)
like msbt feat.

Here's the problem I'm having
I want specific trinket proc's that cause self buffs, to be seperate, in a scroll area I created.
But they still show up in the regular 'buff' trigger as part of the notifications.
Am I doing something wrong?
So, I create a trigger, and a suppresion. My trigger is not supressed, just the event?
