Introduction

GridSwiftmend is a status plug-in for the Grid Unit Frames addon. It is specifically for restoration druids so they know exactly when and who to Swiftmend.

GridSwiftmend is ment to remind you when you have the ability ready and you can set threshold values for health and time left on the HoTs so you can get the most out of Swiftmending.

Setup

I would recommend that you use as a Border Status as they are very clear to spot in the Grid along with the center text (see image).

There are several ways you can tweak the settings. The most important setting is of course making the status visible in grid.

You are going to want to set the "Critical Health Threshold" setting also. If a unit goes below this amount of health and has a Regrowth or Rejuvenation spell on him (and your Swiftmend is ready) the status will activate. Citical Health Threshold is especially important if you use the Swiftmend Glyph since you then don't care about being mana efficient with your Swiftmends in quite the same way.

If you on the other hand don't have the Swiftmend Glyph then you will also be quite interested in the "Health Threshold" and "Time Threshold" settings. The say that if a unit is under a certain percentage health and has a Regrowth or Rejuvenation spell on him with less than the time specified left on it THEN the status will be shown.

Some choose to set the Time or Health Threshold (not the Critical one) to their min values if they use the Swiftmend glyph. That way only the Critical setting counts. But you should be OK using the default settings (thats what I do myself).

Recomendations

You are gonna need to have Grid installed. Also I STRONGLY RECOMMEND getting Clique which allows you to cast spells by clicking on the Grid Cells. And make big grid sells that are easy to hit.

GridStatusHoTs is also a great plug-in for Grid and I couldn't live without it. You can have the different corners of the Grid cells light up depending on which hots you have active on the unit.

GridLifebloom does some of the same stuff as GridStatusHoTs does. I urge you to check it out.

Another addon I strongly urge you to download is GridManaBars; It (as the name suggests) show mana bars in grid. (TIP: Set the bars at the bottom)

I also must recommend that you use the Swiftmend glyph (see above).

Also you should consider resizing the Grid frames to another shape (Rectangular) and turn Bar Orientation horizontal instead.

@borlum: Please remove the .zip from the package.

The last few times you've uploaded this, it has been rejected because of that.

I think you should add it as you own. The addon looks great, but it doesn't do the exactly the same thing as GridSwiftmend. I don't find a Cooldown Counter protocolary interesting for Swiftmend since in hectic situations I depend on swiftmend as a fast heal I can use if I have it and people are in trouble, and don't use it as a healing spell in a rotation.

You should take a peek at my code for v0.9 and maybe even try it out when I upload it.

I finished my addon: http://dl.free.fr/orQYoNDAi/GridDruidSwiftmend.zip

I am much inspired GridStatutHots and a bit of your addon

This is another way to manage the fate swiftwend more in line with the glyph and the gameplay WOLTK

It is difficult to explain how it works in English, but to summarize I add a management by couldown of swiftwend by 2 colors

I made some screenshots to illustrate its operation (top-right corner)

EDIT: Image 4 shows : The indicator in the top right corner disappears because the remaining time of maximum buff Rejuvenation and Regrowht on the player are below the couldown of swiftwend

What do we do? I add in my addon curse.com?, or we work together? I admit that I would prefer to add this addon in the addon because curse.com manages Swiftwend condition with less than GridSwiftwend

That is fine. I wish you the best of luck. If you choose to use some of my code use the new v0.9 version since it actually works (which the others don't).

Good luck, let me know if you ever submit anything.

I want to keep my ideas to create my addon for my personal pleasure

I'll see it later if I can add it to Curse.com

There are several problems: - The following line does not: local AceLibrary RL = ( "Roster-2.1") - We must move the line "GridDruidSwiftmend.options = false" after "local options" (I do not know why)

You are welcome to participate in translation and so on. Currently the addon doesn't work in ANY language :) so I think that's why it didn't work in french.

I'm updating the project now. And it should work for the french version too. I don't think there is a need for making another addon as you suggest, but I'm not quite sure what you mean with the CD part of you message.

Check out the new version and please let me know if it doesn't work and any Lua errors you might get.

Best regards,

Hello,

Sorry in advance for my English, I'm french.

I want to view in GRID Swiftmend as CD and other conditions.

Currently your addon does not work in french

I want to take part in your project and create another addon as GridSwiftmendPlus.

Can I do this?

Best regards,

Lolofora

I think I have resolved the issue. I have the addon you refer to myself, but have had no problems with it. In the mean time, I think I have found something that could cause some problems. I hope it works for you. Check out version 0.3.5.
/cheer for the feedback (keep it comming)
