Making an Addon for Killing Innocents

FlopsyPrince

Any idea how hard it would be to make an addon to show/toggle the state of "Killing Innocents" without having to go into the settings?

I do that frequently, and it gets reset because of an alt-syncing addon. I would love a little picture that could show, but even having a slash command would be nice. One is at esoui.com, but it says it is not usable.

I might code it myself, but I am not sure how to start that. Any pointers would be good!

It already exists.
The addon is called Vampire’s Woe. Check it out.

There existed an addon innocent attack toggle which just changed the innocent attack settings via a keybind, but somehow it's not on esoui anymore.

this only partially would do what the OP is asking

this can disable the blade of woe, but it wouldnt say stop you from using a light attack or some other skill on an NPC accidentally

I found the addon agan but it is not on www.esoui.com @FlopsyPrince
CaptainBlagbird had written it, I've uploaded it to a dropbox for you:
Innocent Attack Toggle

I hope he is fine with that, not sure why it's not on ESOUI.com, maybe it was a small one just posted to some ESOUI forum thread. never released.

FlopsyPrince

I loaded it, but I haven't tried it yet. How do you

Thanks, but I prefer to stick with things on esoui.

The one mentioned above did not help either, since it seems to just control vampire blade of woe conflicts.

Yes it does. It got added within the last couple months. Read the addon’s description page and comment section.

It does do what you want. Read the description page. The addon by Phinix. You need to check the addon’s settings and set keybinds.

I must have missed it.

The tooltip was a bit confusing.

Baertram

I think it was on ESOUI like other addons of CaptainBlagbird still are.
And it's exactly what you have asked for...

If you think it's harming:
Just check the code, its a simple keybind changing the option for attack innocents.
And chat ouput.
That's all.


Here is the small code of it, you should be able to see yourself:

--Get the language
local lang = GetCVar("language.2")
local langArray = {
	["en"] = "Toggle 'Prevent Attacking Innocents'",
	["de"] = "Schalte 'Unschuldige verschonen' um",
	["fr"] = "Toggle 'Prevent Attacking Innocents'",
	["es"] = "Toggle 'Prevent Attacking Innocents'",
	["ru"] = "Toggle 'Prevent Attacking Innocents'",
	["it"] = "Toggle 'Prevent Attacking Innocents'",
}
local langFeedbackArray = {
    ["on"] = {
		["en"] = "enabled",

    },
    ["chatOutput"] = {

		["de"] = "Verhindere Attacken auf Unschuldige: ",
		["fr"] = "Prévenir attaques contre innocents: ",
		["es"] = "Prevent attacking innocents: ",
		["ru"] = "Prevent attacking innocents: ",
		["it"] = "Prevent attacking innocents: ",
    }
}

-- Binding string
ZO_CreateStringId("SI_BINDING_NAME_INNOCENTATTACKTOGGLE", langArray[lang] or langArray["en"])
SafeAddVersion("SI_BINDING_NAME_INNOCENTATTACKTOGGLE", 1)

-- Function for binding
function InnocentAttackToggle()
	local setting = GetSetting(SETTING_TYPE_COMBAT, COMBAT_SETTING_PREVENT_ATTACKING_INNOCENTS)
	if setting == "1" then setting = "0" else setting = "1" end
	SetSetting(SETTING_TYPE_COMBAT, COMBAT_SETTING_PREVENT_ATTACKING_INNOCENTS, setting, 1)
	local feedbackOn =  langFeedbackArray["on"][lang] or langFeedbackArray["on"]["en"]
    local feedbackOff = langFeedbackArray["off"][lang] or langFeedbackArray["off"]["en"]
    local chatOutput =  langFeedbackArray["chatOutput"][lang] or langFeedbackArray["chatOutput"]["en"]
	local str = setting=="1" and "|c00FF00" .. feedbackOn .. "|r" or "|cFF0000" .. feedbackOff .. "|r"
	d(chatOutput .. str)
end

If you do not trust me maybe someone else can download and check the code for you, but I'm trust worthy if it comes to addons (and in general ).

btw: An addon uploaded to ESOUI is not checked in content so if I upload it there it would be the same as uploading it somehwere else. It's only scanned for virus and if it contains any executable, dll or similar files.
Everythign else checked depends on time, will, addon know-how of the checking persons. So do not expect it to be checked by every single line. My info here is is more than ESOUI does on that

I don't distrust the code. I just want to handle it all with one tool.

Okay. As the addon is not uploaded at www.esoui.com it cannot be installed via Minion.

The addon works as is and as long as the settings name won't change it will work for years and never needs any update.
It provides what you've asked for, and only that (where other addons named above provide vampire stuff etc. you maybe never need).

You may contact captainBlagbird at esoui, write him a PM and ask him to upload it to esoui.
Or use the other addons which are on esoui but provide many more features you might never need, blowing up filesize, increasing loading times due to SavedVariables used (but not needed) etc.
