REQUEST / Haunting Curse Tracker

[Jsmalls]

Looking for a tracker that has a countdown above an enemy players head (PvP) for haunting curse to better line up burst and focus on a specific player when 1vXing. I would think its similar coding as Shalk Tracker (but with the added feature of being above the targets head). Could discuss a reward in-game or out of game for someone that would be interested in making it. Please and thanks!!

It is not possible to put any tracker above an enimies head, except the newly introduced combat markers by zos.

Best you do, is place such a marker on the enemy and remove it when the debuff is gone.

Would it be possible to have an addon that adds the oblivion combat marker to the player upon applying curse then have it change to a skull within let's say 2 seconds of exploding (both the initial explosion, back to the oblivion combat marker then to a skull again before the second explosion). Thanks for the response!

No, you need to have the cursor above the player you want to put the marker on.

So if you want an addon to apply a marker you still need to watch actively at the player. As this is done you can enable that marker yourself by the vanilla keybind for the marker. Nothing that an addon could/would help.

An addon only could maybe add a marker to an enemy at the time you look at it (crosshair is above the enemy) as you cast the skill.
And for that the addon would need to know which skills (abilityIds of skills and morphs) can cause that marker in detail.

But after that, an addon cannot:

-Change the applied marker at the marked player after x (milli)seconds unless you do not still or again look at the player (must be below your crosshair properly)
-Delete the marker (same as change above)
-Add new markers (same as change above)
-Remove all markers (same as change above)
Even for remove all markers you would have to look at any player, or no player at all (yourself will get the markers applied then) so an addon could apply the before used marker(s) icon, in a loop after another, to yourself/the target below the cursor, and remove it again by reapplying the markers (workaround).
-> Cuz there is no API like RemoveAllMarkers()

So you see, there is no proper way addons could help here unless you stand still and ALWAYS got the same enemy in your target. Unless you cannot do that, it's useless/not possible API wise to let addons help you here, as else you will end in having several markers at several targets where yoz had yur mouse above during combat -> Making it confusing.

API wise it's a mess and really ahrd to tarck the correct targets. It would be even possible to compare names of the targets and only re-apply change the marker icons if the names match. But you still need to have the target below your cursor, or you will apply the marker icons to yourself.



Not related directly to your request but imo this is great it works that way so PvP is up to players and skills and not addons automating stuff. But that's my opinion about PvP and addons
