Hey guys,

This may sound like a stupid question but i would like to start writting a pluggin that allows the user to enable/disable taunting in the CC.
I am aware that you can do it through the cc settings itself, but when you are trying to do through a raid and swap tanks to get rid of debuffs it does make enabling and disabling taunting a chore.

all i am asking is a bit of understanding how CCs interact with HB so i can get a firm starting point.

thankyou in advance

what do you mean taunting?
 
sorry for the misunderstanding, primarily my main toon is a tank and during a raid for which i use lazy raider, I have to taunt the target to generate threat on a target to remove threat from my Main tank or Off tank and consequently there are time where i need to stop taunting in order to allow the other tank to take over.
Now essientially i wish to make a small plugin which i can toggle the taunting option in say for example singular, by way of a button in a seperate frame whci i could have on top of the wow window.
My main question is, using singular for example, does it store the current values in a space of memory or is there a system call, or would i have to edit the settings of the CC as a secondary script.
 
You won't be able to do this via a plugin, at least not very easily. You'd have to edit the settings of the CC in use. Which to do on the fly would have to be called from the CC itself I believe. Though I stand to be corrected!
 
This seems to be the problem i have found or at very least suspected, hence why i asked the question. If anyone has other thoughts please suggest
 
Tbh, I don't see how it would work without stopping/starting the bot at the very least. Most likely having to restart it.
 
easy way: disable taunting in the CC, taunt by hand ... this part can be done manually in a raid, u have nearly nothing to do all the time, so it should be that hard to taunt thre or four times in a fight ;)

Yes it can be done by hand but this isn't what the OP is asking for, he's asking if a plugin can do it. I'm assuming to do it automatically if entering a Instance/BG/Something

okay then the hard way: next to impossible, cause different CC use different ways to that. Some are Calling the Spellmanager, other are using Lua and again others use macros to do their actions.

Thats what I said earlier, it's just not do-able on the fly. The potentially only way to do it, would be to edit the settings.xml manually (if the CC supports it). And reload HB.
 
i wasnt thinking off automatically disabling taunting i was thinking of a sort of pause button for taunting. manually enable/disabled. but yes taunting by hand seems the go. i was trying to put the lazy in tanking..
