Overachiever - achievement tools and tweaks

42 - Strand of the Ancients- Seaforium Achievements

What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?

There are some achievements at the strand of the ancients.

-Drop it http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=1764
  It would be useful if we get a warning when the player you target/mouseover carrys a seaforium charge. If a player carries these bombs he has a special buff

-Steady hands http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=1765
It would be nice if you could warn when a  bomb is placed , so you can disarm it.

    The player carrying seaforium, is affected by a buff called "Carrying Seaforium" http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=52418

    the bombs themselves are http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39213 (Massive seaforium charge) and if you place the bomb you trigger http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=52410

    I think you use http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=1843 for disarming these bombs.

    I#ll have to get prove from sota.combatlogs

    Good suggestions. I think you can use the API to query the buffs of mouseovered units - some tooltip addons show unit buffs.. It'd be great if you could post the names/IDs needed for the buff(s) and seaforium-placement detection. That'd make me more likely to get this implemented sooner rather than later, if it is indeed possible, since I've been pretty busy with other things lately.

    2) i dont know that either ;) We might get spell_cast_success or similiar for it. Wowhead shows a lot of possible spellids ( http://www.wowhead.com/?search=seaforium#uncategorized-spells ) But im not sure wether alliance sees horde-events and vice versa in this case.

    Ill have a look at a combatlog from sota later

    While this sounds awesome, I suspect there are technical issues in the way.

    regarding the first, merely mousing over a character does not query the server about his buffs. i'm pretty sure you'd have to actually target the player first so that your client (and thus OA) would read the buff and then add text to the tooltip. furthermore, such information would go out of date very quickly; do you store that a player has the seaforium buff? because it drop off the player any second.

    regarding the second... well, I don't know enough about SotA. what sort of information does the server send about a bomb being placed? and at any rate, while such a notification would be useful, it strikes me that a more centrally-oriented-to-battlegrounds addon should take care of this function.

    just my opinion here. disclaimer, i fail at lua and my comments should not be taken as speaking on behalf of tuhljin or any other addon coder ever.
