Dead Target Lock

"2) Maintains your friendly target. To deselect your current friendly target you have to double click on the ground or hit ESC twice."

Would it be possible to maintain your hostile target, too, only removing it by pressing ESC x2? I really hate accidently clicking somewhere on the screen in the middle of action, and losing my hostile target.

I miss this addon =(
any chance of an update for 1.1?

Edit Interface\AddOns\DeadTargetLock\DeadTargetLock.lua and add the following lines to the file (before the initialisation function eg.) :

local function TargetPlayer(playerName)
local trimName = playerName:match(L"([^^]+)^?([^^]*)")
SystemData.UserInput.ChatText = L"/target "..trimName
BroadcastEvent(SystemData.Events.SEND_CHAT_TEXT)
end

This is the fix Aiiane has used for the latest TargetLast and it fixes the problem with Dead Target Lock and the latest patch too. DTL now works fine for me with the above addition.

hi.

so the file should be:

DeadTargetLock = {}

DeadTargetLock.oldFriendlyTarget = nil

local function GetTargetName(target)
if not TargetInfo:UnitIsNPC(target) then
return TargetInfo:UnitName(target)
else
return nil
end
end

local function TargetPlayer(playerName)
local trimName = playerName:match(L"([^^]+)^?([^^]*)")
SystemData.UserInput.ChatText = L"/target "..trimName
BroadcastEvent(SystemData.Events.SEND_CHAT_TEXT)
end

function DeadTargetLock.Initialize()

RegisterEventHandler("DeadTargetLock", SystemData.Events.PLAYER_TARGET_UPDATED, "DeadTargetLock.UpdateTargets")

-- default to having self as target
DeadTargetLock.oldFriendlyTarget = GameData.Player.name

EA_ChatWindow.Print(StringToWString("DeadTargetLock.Initialize()"))
end




is it ok?

this don't work with 1.1 sigh... it was the best addon for me :D

Any way to make it so you can toggle the double click to clear your target?

The main menu is broken with this mod I think..

By the way, to those wanting Esc to be able to clear target, etc - the TargetLast addon, on which this one is based, has that functionality, as well as a few other options.

Great mod, thanks for the effort! Btw, is it still suppose to maintain selected target after a rez?

Nope, wasn't happening for me. I'll grab the latest copy and try it again a couple of times. Also, I can't customize text colour (part of window options not showing), but after disabling this mod via /uimod, the options return. It may or may not be caused by this. Tks again.

Yep, I came in here to update my post to state that it's got nothing to do with the mod, more to how the client/game behaves. Tks for the quick update though :)

---quote from upcoming patch notes
"Fixed an issue which was causing healers to lose targeting on a player who they just resurrected."

I like the mod so far, haven't blown a morale ability in days. Can you specify what the new versions add somewhere though?

Yes, please add the ability to esc to clear target, and also click on the ground to clear target.

The mod is very helpful but my only grip with it. It doesn't allow me to used escape to break lock and go into the menu. If this small thing could be fixed it would be great.

Is this mod dependent on having TargetLast installed? (I ask because I don't have it installed, and installing via Curse Client is not working.)

It don't .

He've taken some of the codes from TargetLast (;

like the main function however you should take out the sticky targeting, at least make it optional. When I click on the ground I want to detarget.

Awesome I have been waiting for an Addon like this, for morale but also so I can res dead team mates if they die as I am trying to heal them
