shaga 919534f3d8 Add an options window with an on/off switch
/unitscan now opens an options window (no minimap icon) with a button
that turns scanning on or off and checkboxes for the alert sound, the
screen flash and the built-in zone list. Your own targets can be added
or removed from the window. Settings are saved per character in
unitscan_settings.

/unitscan on, /unitscan off and /unitscan list do the same from chat;
/unitscan <name> still adds or removes a target.

Example3

The list of units can be found in zone targets.lua.

  • Unitscan will only look for zone targets specific to your current zone. The target list is reloaded when you change zones.

  • Zone targets will be reloaded 90 seconds after you have found a target (to re-detect roaming targets).

  • Unitscan will alert you of NPC targets that you can attack and are alive.

  • Unitscan will pause scanning when in combat or when auto attack, auto shoot and wanding are active.

  • Please note unitscan will not auto target the target when it is found.
    Click the target in the unitscan window or use the macro /unitscantarget to target the mob.

Commands / Use

You can move the unitscan frame by holding CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT CLICK dragging.

/unitscan opens the options window
/unitscan on, /unitscan off turns scanning on or off
/unitscan list lists the active scan targets in chat
/unitscan name adds/removes name to/from the active scan targets
/unitscantarget targets the most recently found target

The options window has the on/off switch, switches for the alert sound, the screen flash and the built-in zone list, and a box to add or remove your own targets. The options are saved per character.

You can add custom targets to find players or targets not included in the zone targets list by using the command /unitscan name.

Please Note: Targets added using /unitscan name will be removed from active scan targets after they are found. For a permanenet solution, edit zone targets.lua and add a line entry for that unit.

Complementary Addons

SoloRaidTargetIcons - This addon lets you put raid markers on units without being in a party (see video).

Codex - To see target abilities in the tooltip.

Addon Compatibility

Unitscan uses the TargetByName function to scan through the list of targets to find an exact match. This causes the game to switch targets if the named target is nearby. Unitscan will immediately restore your original target however if you are using addons that do something when you switch targets (such as issue an alert if targets are PvP flagged) then they may trigger for the found target.
