Adding HoTT gauge

After searching here to find a way to add HoTT to my main target window with no luck I went and figured it out myself. I fugured I would share what I came up with. For starters this is code modified from Remelio's excellent work, so the main code credit goes to him.

Here is what it looks like:

(I added the HoTT directly under my normal target, you may put it where you wish)

The following code goes into the xml of the window you want this gauge displayed in. I commented each section so you know what it's doing.

Code:

You will also need to place the following in the pieces section near the bottom of the xml file.

Code:


<Pieces>PW_TTarget</Pieces>
<Pieces>PW_SphereTTargetY</Pieces>
<Pieces>PW_SphereTTargetG</Pieces>
<Pieces>PW_TTarget%</Pieces>
<Pieces>PW_TTargetGauge</Pieces>

To make everything line up correctly in whatever window you put this in you will most likely need to adjust the numbers in the sections that look like this:

Code:


	<Location>
		<X>##</X>
		<Y>##</Y>
	</Location>

Hope this helped someone. Have a great day.

I will be happy to add this into the current UI i am building..

it will make it slightly easier to find out who your tank is targeting without hitting /ass alot of times..

and for a cleric it will let them know how much more they'll have to heal the tank before they get a rest :P

My question is does it allow you to click on the name/guage of the target to select them??

If we could work that one out it would be even better.

1 - this only works if the Group leader has purchased the Target of Target Group Ability
2 - I haven't tried clicking on the name/guage in the HoTT window (default) so can't answer that part :( But if it doesn't work in the default I would bet that it cannot be done at this time.

Would it be posible for it to be set to have an /assist %T option set in by a hotspot?

Not sure what coding would be used to accomplish this if it is posible..

I think i've seen a hotspot code somewhere i can't remember where though.

Tried this and it didn't work :/

woot, I figgured out how to do this and it is REALLY simple. The biggest thing to remember is to change your declared pieces from "TargetofTarget_HP" to "Target_hottHP" or something else you remember. What ever window you place it in, the window name declaration has to come to the left of the _ and the identification of the item to the right. Once I figgured that out, it was a breeze !

Thanks for the tutorial :)

God Bless,

Just learning to do UIs, so please type slow :) why use type 27 throughout the code? thought 27 was "Alternate Experience Percentage "?

In a <Label item> section, 27 is AA xp %, you're right, and would display a number.

But used in a <Gauge item> section ... 27 is the target-of-target HP gauge.

It's also one of your bag slots if used in an <InvSlot item> section.

/thumps self in head

OMG noob! (meaning me) lol.. k.. i've learned alot since i posted that.. thanks much! have actually taken a rather complex group window (with player stats) and made it usuable by the wife.. lol... so i am learning, and will hopefully be able to stop asking noob questions soon! lol

Thank you for the help!!
