FocusFrame

Provides focus targeting & frame support for vanilla World of Warcraft. (1.12.1, English client only)

If you have never used focus before, it's basically a secondary target system that keeps track of a second unit other than the currently targeted unit. Once a focus is set, you can use macros to cast spells on the focus without having to lose your current target.

The focus frame works for both friendly and enemy players.

Chat commands

Focus current target or by name:

^{Will clear current focus if you have no target.}

/focus
/focus playername

Focus current mouseover target:

/mfocus

Cast spell on focus target:

^{fcast will be used on nearest unit found when there are multiple mobs with same name.}

/fcast spellname

Cast spell on focus target if sat, else cast on current target:

/fcast spellname-target
or:
/fitem itemname-target

Use item effect on focus target:

/fitem itemname

Target the focus target:

/tarfocus

Swap focus and target:

/fswap

Assist focus:

/fassist

Clear current focus:

/clearfocus

If you need more advanced macros, you'll need to create your own script. "/fcast spell" can be accessed in scripts using 'SlashCmdList.FCAST("spell")'

Example: This macro will cast Polymorph on focus if SHIFT modifier is held down, or else it'll cast it on current target.

/run if IsShiftKeyDown() then SlashCmdList.FCAST("Polymorph") else CastSpellByName("Polymorph") end

Options

Set frame scale: (0.2 - 2.0)

/foption scale 1.0

Toggle frame dragging:

^{Hold down left mouse button on focus portrait to move it.}

/foption lock

Toggle fading of frame when focus hasn't been updated for ~10s:

/foption fade

Toggle hiding of frame on loading screens/release spirit:

/foption nohide

Reset to default:

/foption reset

Important

When using this addon there are some limitations or caveats you should know about due to the way WoW 1.12.1 api works:

There's no way to distinguish between NPCs with the exact same name. So most of this addon's functionality won't work properly on mobs.
Power for a non-party member focus is updated when you or your party members targets the focus target. (Also every time you use /fcast)
Health is updated same way as power, but will also update when the focus target's nameplate is in range.
Casts & buffs for focus are only tracked if the focus is within 40 yards range of your character.
For rogues/druids: You will lose all your combo points when switching between target and focus!!
For some reason healing spell casts are not tracked if the focus is inside your party. Not sure if this is a vanilla thing or Elysium bug.
This addon is only tested on Elysium servers. Other servers might not have implemented all the combat log events required for this addon to function properly.
