In one of the last patches, it seems like the health bars that float over all characters/enemies/npc's (when it's turned on) has gotten smaller. I usually rely on that to heal, but as I'm getting more into healing, they seem to be less and less reliable. Is there a way to change the size and opacity of these? What about an addon that customizes it? I have FTC, Azurah, and so on, but I don't see any option for those health bars.

✭✭✭✭✭As far as i know AddOns don't have access to the game world, they can only render in the UI plane overlay.

xcommyx✭Although aren't those health bars part of the UI? They aren't stationary like the other UI elements, but the options for them are under UI in settings.0

VaxtinTheWolf✭✭✭✭✭Rely on the group health bars instead, in my opinion. Although I also have injured floating Health bars on, and notice immediately when they aren't there, They are most likely not within the API for addon's. It's not an "on screen" cover and instead tied to the world.

xcommyx✭I haven't found any addons that could change it, so you're probably right. It's just my playstyle I guess. I like to see who I'm healing and where they are for my aoe healing abilities.0

✭Giving Addons access to these healthbars might caus problems regarding the whole "plaing the game for you" issue. They could start to highlight low HP players for you (on all sides) or be used to make it easier to track down hiding opponents despite them having cover. While the later probably wont be much of an issue it might also include an option for those healthbars to flash/grow for a short period of time after entering the screen so that it would be easier to keep track on the numbers of players in a fight (and locate cloaking NBs).
Thus i can understand the API not giving access to those healthbars for addons. However atm it is hardly a question wether addons make the game clearer to the people using them and this would only be another step. One ZOS might or might not be willing to take though.Jo'Khaljor1
