Highlighting selected group member.

Profit · #1 05-18-2005, 06:19 AM

As a healer I find it hard to see in the middle of battle who I have selected. and I don't really like all the arrows and glows.

So, what I've done is when I click on group members from the group window, the selected member's name increases in font size and the other members font size returns to normal.

Now this works fine, and now it's easy to spot which member I have selected, however... this will not work if I use the F Keys, I have tried OnActivate etc. but no joy.

Any ideas how I can achieve this?

What about OnSelect and OnDeselect (OnUnselect) not sure if they are there but worth a shot.

and remember you hafta have an un-event too. IE Make sure your using Activate and Deactivate .. would be nice to see th exact code you have posted

Hmm...

OnShow event for the Target window. Triggers "if statement" events that compare the target's name to each groupmember name. If there's a match, it could change the font or color on the name in the group window.

Yes, this sort of solution seems to be the only way.

Ok, I've tried the Targets' OnShow, OnActivate etc and none of them trigger events between switching targets.

Was a good idea.

Edit:

Bah, forgot the OnShow event doesn't trigger if you already have a target. Need to include visible=false in the OnShow script. Should force it to trigger each time you target anything.

Going to try something that won't involve the target window at all, just make use of its dynamicdata. I'll need someone else to see if it works, though.
