FaceTargetToAttack

Does this addon pushes for example the key 1 or does it use the skill that is in that slot?

Isn't that kinda the same thing? >.< This simulates pushing the key you assign it to, which causes the skill in that slot to be used, turning you around. The addon is designed with the assumption that the skill you assign it to use to turn you around is a skill you use often, so I don't see how it would be a problem to take up a slot for this addon to activate.

So to answer your question in your form, yes it pushes the key you tell it to AND uses the skill in that slot.

Not a bot because this only works when you get the notice, not all the time.

Make sure you use my fix to avoid repeatedly telling the addon your slot every other game session.

FaceTargetToAttack only saves your slot if you change it during the current session. If you don't, the next time you open the game the slot will reset to slot 1. To fix this, find the words SaveVariables("actionslot") in FaceTargetToAttack.lua and move it out of tthe conditional statement. This will make it fire regardless of wether or not the variable is used this session or not. I recomend below end because I would put variable saves at the bottom, but that's just me. This makes FTTA keep the assigned slot and you no longer have to worry about telling it your slot over and over. The author of FTTA hasn't been around for a very long time, and I'm actually considering uploading my fixed version onto Curse.

FaceTargetToAttack.lua should look like the following.

actionslot = {}
fttaMessage = {}

function FaceTargetToAttack_OnLoad(this)
this:RegisterEvent("WARNING_MESSAGE")
this:RegisterEvent("VARIABLES_LOADED")
lang = GetLocation()
if lang == "DE" then
fttaMessage[1] = "Ihr m\195\188sst euch dem Ziel zuwenden, um es angreifen zu k\195\182nnen!"
else
fttaMessage[1] = "Must face target to attack"
end
end

function FaceTargetToAttack_OnEvent(this, event, arg1)
if event == "VARIABLES_LOADED" then
if not actionslot[1] then
actionslot[1] = "1"
end
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("FaceTargetToAttack v0.9 loaded. Use /ftta <slot> to choose a skill slot.", 0, 1, 0)
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Current skill slot: " .. actionslot[1], 0, 1, 0)
end
if (event == "WARNING_MESSAGE") and (arg1 == fttaMessage[1]) then
UseAction(actionslot[1])
end
end

function FaceTargetToAttack_Change(frame, slot)
validtable = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "0", "-", "="}
for i, valid in ipairs(validtable) do
if slot == valid then
actionslot[1] = slot
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Slot changed to " .. slot, 0, 1, 0)
break
end
end
if actionslot[1] == "0" then actionslot[1] = "10" end
if actionslot[1] == "-" then actionslot[1] = "11" end
if actionslot[1] == "=" then actionslot[1] = "12" end
end

SaveVariables("actionslot")

SLASH_FTTA1 = "/ftta"
SlashCmdList["FTTA"] = FaceTargetToAttack_Change

update plz. not working since last update

The only known bug with this is resetting to slot 1 every other login or so. This is a very simple addon, how could it ever be broken by any updates? Mine has been working fine except what I've mentioned.

It seems to be having trouble saving the key to attack with between logons. I've loged on at least three times and the addon tells me that the key it will use is 1, but I know that before I loged off I told it to use 2. Sometimes it saves the key, sometimes it doesn't. Could this be looked into?

Also doesn't save individual chosen key for different characters, while still forgetting which key I told it to use the last time I loged on.

At first I thought this add on would fix the bug in the game where when you use the knights charge and get the "must face target to attack" bug. Alas it doesnt, you still have to move away from the target and then back. This addon does however save you having to press the attack key when the target moves. I suspect its not possible to make an add on to fix the bug currently. I've reported this bug along with many others but it seems Runewaker dont think a tank being able to attack after the initial charge isnt that important :(

The german Message is:

" Ihr müsst euch dem Ziel zuwenden, um es angreifen zu können! "

orignal code:
if lang == "DE" then
fttaMessage[1] = "Ihr müsst euch dem Ziel zuwenden, um es angreifen zu können!"

relace with this code:
if lang == "DE" then
fttaMessage[1] = "Ihr m\195\188sst euch dem Ziel zuwenden, um es angreifen zu k\195\182nnen!"

if you use german letters (Ä, Ö, Ü, ...) then you must replace this letters with "\195\%asciicode%" tags. otherwise lua can't handle this german letters.

letters and lua codes:
Ä = \195\132
ä = \195\164
Ö = \195\150
ö = \195\182
Ü = \195\156
ü = \195\188
ß = \195\159

ps: sorry about my poor english

It works perfectly, thanks for the german version.

you can test DE support.
in RoM launcher press config, select Deutsch, and voila, now you are playing in DE client.

Is there a multi-language support? That will be fine!

I was thrilled last night when I seen this in action, at the one boss in MA that ports you around constantly, I never had to manually face her..LOVE IT!

this thing works amazingly well, faulty camera angles ftl

I believe this only works when you have "Click to Move" turned on. When it's disabled, it also disables the auto-turn action as well.
