The mod allows you to select a character (typically opposing faction), hit a key (that you set up) and it will automatically output info on that character.

You can set it up to send messages to local defense, guild, and/or party.

It will display a message such as:

Horde Troll Rogue (lvl:36) last seen heading Southeast through Witherbark Village

I have been using this mod for a couple of days now and I am constantly getting /tells from people wanting to know what mod I am using and where I got it.

I did make a couple of small modifications to my local copy. I added the name of the character and one small fix for Horde side. He has it to always send chat in the Common language, but since Horde cannot speak common, it comes out as jibberish for Horde. I just changed mine to send chat in Orcish.

Anyway, mainly putting up so I have a place I can point people to when they ask me about the mod!

Copy of the original post in case it decays on Blizzard's craptacular forums

Code: Select all

Clangadin   
Level 19 Gnome Warlock 
 
Guild&#58;  The Watch Tower 
Realm&#58;  Durotan

Description&#58;The WatchTower was developed to help with local defense. It allows you to automatically announce to the area all pertinant information about the any sighted invaders. Simply click on the invader and use a designated hot key to Report the enemy. Information included in your message will be Faction, Race, Level, Current Subzone they are in and which way they are headed &#40;N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW&#41;. 

Message will appear as so&#58; "WatchTower&#58; Horde Undead Mage &#40;lvl&#58; 55&#41; last seen heading South East through Sentinal Hill" 

The italicized text in the above message is dynamic and will change according to the targets information. 

This addon will allow you to set up hot keys to Toggle it on and off, Toggle your enemy from Horde to Alliance, and a hot key to send your report. In the main WatchTower.lua file you can also configure what channel to braodcast your message on...It can be Guild, Say, Party or Yell. 

Download v 1.3 Here http&#58;//www.grimeygames.com/wow/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=3 

Future Plans&#58;depending on how everyone likes it, and if it seems worth it I will complete my coding for the Slash commands, and was toying with the idea for an auto-follow option so you automatically start trailing the infiltraitor. Any other suggestions would be great! 

This is my first AddOn so go easy, but not to easy. I am really looking for feedback on this. 

Thanks!
