[REQUEST] Stand-alone execute addon

danno8

Currently I use WarlegendHUD for the visual execute cues and really like it. Unfortunately it looks like it is not going to be updated any longer (last update was mid April) and I also prefer the ggframes for the look of the resource/health bars, but there is no way to turn off the Warlegend bars and still get the execute.

So is there a standalone execute addon out there? I know FTC uses a "enemy low health" on screen notice but I really don't care for floaty text in ESO. Or can anyone figure out a way to edit some files in WarlegenHUD lua files to turn off eveything else but the execute function?

SimpleCombatAlerts might do what you are looking for?

There is no execute alert in SCA, it just shows block/interrupt/dodge and off balance. But if you are interested in this addon, this is updated version of SCA

It is not hard to write simple execute alert:

Copy&paste this code to the end of any .lua file of some addon you use:

local function ExecuteAlert(eventCode, addonName)
   ---load this code after default UI is initialized
   if (addonName):find("^ZO_") then return end
   EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent("Execute_Alert", EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED) 

   local alertsTable = setmetatable({}, {__index = function() return 0 end})
   ZO_CenterScreenAnnounce_SetEventPriority(EVENT_POWER_UPDATE)

   local function OnPowerUpdate(eventCode, unitTag, _, powerType, powerValue, powerMax)
      if unitTag == "reticleover" and powerType == POWERTYPE_HEALTH and IsUnitAttackable("reticleover") and GetUnitReaction("reticleover") ~= UNIT_REACTION_NEUTRAL and not IsUnitDead('reticleover') then
         local unitName = GetUnitName("reticleover")
         --if target has 20% or less health
         if (powerValue / powerMax) <= 0.2 then
            local now = GetFrameTimeSeconds()
            local alertTime = alertsTable[unitName]
            --do not show alert for the target with the same name more than every 5 seconds
            if now - alertTime > 5 then
               CENTER_SCREEN_ANNOUNCE:AddMessage(eventCode, CSA_EVENT_SMALL_TEXT, SOUNDS.MESSAGE_BROADCAST, ZO_ERROR_COLOR:Colorize("Execute!"))
               alertsTable[unitName] = now
            end
         else
            alertsTable[unitName] = nil
         end
      end
   end
   EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("Execute_Alert", EVENT_POWER_UPDATE, OnPowerUpdate) 
end
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("Execute_Alert", EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED, ExecuteAlert)

lol, easy when you know what you are doing. Of course that requires time to learn and the last programming I did was using Turbo Pascal some 20 years ago.

Thanks for the info though!
