BeaconAlert

BeaconAlert image

BeaconAlert sends you a message in red text (with a sound) when the Beacon of Light spell you had cast on someone has faded.

You can customize BeaconAlert the old fashioned way...by editing the source code.

BeaconAlert.lua

function BeaconAlert_OnLoad()
  BeaconAlertFrame:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED");
end

function BeaconAlert_OnEvent(self, event, ...)
  local timestamp, type, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags = select(1, ...)
  if( event == "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED" ) then
    if( type == "SPELL_AURA_REMOVED" ) then
      local spellId, spellName, spellSchool = select(9, ...)
      if( UnitName("player") == sourceName ) then
        if( spellName == "Beacon of Light" ) then
          PlaySound("PVPENTERQUEUE")
          DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("---Beacon of Light fades from " .. destName .. "---", 1, 0, 0);
          --RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame, "Beacon of Light fades from " .. destName, ChatTypeInfo["RAID_WARNING"])
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

The line of code: 

PlaySound("PVPENTERQUEUE")

can be removed if you don't want any sound to play, or changed to a different sound. For a list of valid sounds, check out: http://www.wowwiki.com/API_PlaySound. Remember, your sound name has to be wrapped in double-quotes.

To change the color of the text message (default is red), edit the 3 numeric values in this line of code: 

DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("---Beacon of Light fades from " .. destName .. "---", 1, 0, 0);

The 3 numeric values represent red, green, and blue. Enter values between 0.0 and 1.0. For more information, check out: http://www.wowwiki.com/API_ScrollingMessageFrame_AddMessage.

To enable a raid-style warning message that gets printed to the middle of the screen, uncomment this line of code: 

--RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame, "Beacon of Light fades from " .. destName, ChatTypeInfo["RAID_WARNING"])

To uncomment it, simply remove the 2 dashes () that start the line.
