Hovercast possible?

kiersten · #1 11-13-2009, 05:58 PM

Is it possible to make it so that hovering over a UI element and clicking a spell would cast the spell on that target? Without actually selecting the target in the UI element?

IE.. I'm healing my group and have the main tank targeted. The assassin in my group gets hit and needs a quick heal. I hover my mouse over him, hit my heal key, and go back to healing the main tank. My target window wouldn't switch targets.

there is a multitude of mods available which does that

most of the mods i've seen require you to click on little hotboxes set up in the group UI or raid UI.

Isn't that what u asked for? Guessing I am misunderstanding what u are asking for.

I believe the OP is asking basically this:

They hover over a player in the group window with the cursor.

Now, lets say 1 is their hotkey for "Cure Minor Wounds". What I think the OP would like is for them to be able to hit 1 and for that spell to be cast on the player their cursor is over, rather than their current target.

If that is correct, then to my knowledge this that is not possible -- the game simply doesn't work that way.

If you are talking about the group window, then it might be possible to gin up a pseudo-hotbar and combine that with a modded player window so that it does /useabilityonplayer <whatever> and detects the player via the hovering part... but to my knowledge no UI does this and it would have to be done via a special hotbar that would not function like a normal hotbar.

So the short answer is "No," and the long answer is "Might be possible" but with the caveat of it likely being a kludge and the fact you would have to script your own kind of hotbar.

If it's that it sounds like the most complicated way to do healing I've heard of tbh.
