All right, I'll have a look at that and see if I can find what might be causing it.

I'm sure it's possible, I just don't know how at the moment

I'm not actually tracking the time currently, all I do is listen for an event saying the game has added the Lightning Form visual to the player (and then I show the alert), and another saying the game has removed it (and then I hide the alert).

I'll put it on the "things to do if I work out a clever way of doing it" list, okay?

1.1.3 Change log:

* Another shot at fixing the bug with the OFF setting not being respected.
* Fixed a bug with the repositioning of icons after an icon disappears.
* Added experimental support for Expert Hunter on the off-chance it's a regular buff.

Turns out there's a couple of events one can track for the visual effects of Surge and LF; after I discovered those the rest was easy.

I've added EH support as if it is a regular buff; I'm not counting on it to do anything but it's a process of elimination. Please let me know if it does anything at all (or if it doesn't).

I must say kudos for the real fast support and taking care of bugs

I will try first thing tomorrow when I get a chance to go online again

As we hear the effect end I was wondering if there was an event that could be captured for this ending of the buff and use it instead of a timer? Perhaps the timer and when it runs down leave it up and with an empty bar until the game notified the buff is over.

Is this possible?

If EH is a buff that shows up in GetUnitBuffInfo(), it's easy to track it. If it's not, we'll have to do some fancy legwork to decide whether it is up or not. We'll see once I get my new Surge/LF tracking working if it can't be extended to EH as well.

Another problem is I don't have a character with that ability, so I can't test it myself. I'll just have to code something and throw it out for you guys to test

Yeah, that is the rough part with coding for an ability that you don't have. I had already anticipated this and we'll treat it as a best effort exercise. Oh and I highly recommend this for anyone nearing or in cold harbor as the mobs just melt with this turned on and one just blows right through them with ease.

All right, I'll have another look at it.

For the next minor release I've decided to bite the bullet and rewrite the way those buffs are tracked completely - implementing a listener for when the ability is cast successfully, and a timer.

I'll also redo the way I organize the buff display to try to get rid of that pesky jump to the left they tend to do from time to time.

And on another note I've just realized it's going to take some doing to get the Surge and Lightning Form Alerts working correctly; I probably have to check for casting, set a timer and let it run, restarting the timer if it's recast while the buff is up.

However, to check for casting I need to up the frequency with which the addon runs (currently once per second), and I'm a bit loath to do that.

So I'll leave those two Alerts in their current (somewhat buggy) state for now while I try to figure out a smarter way to implement them.

Edit. Dont know if it affects, but other addons I am running is: Srendarr buff and FTC (with all OFF but the scrolling combat text)
