BodyguardHealth

Table of Contents

An AddOn that displays your bodyguard's current health in a frame on the screen.

Usage

Go grab your bodyguard and the healthframe will pop up! The frame can be unlocked and moved from the options.

Configuring

Run the /bgh options command in-game to bring up the options window.

New in v2.0.0

Version 2.0.0 enables targeting of the bodyguard by clicking on the frame!

Bug reports and suggestions

It would be greatly appreciated if bug reports and feature suggestions were made on the GitHub project page rather than WowAce, as it gives a better overview for me when managing issues.

You can also fork the project and submit a pull request via GitHub (I probably won't accept code patch files submitted via WowAce, due to the extra overhead in implementing them compared to a PR on GitHub).

Are you getting any errors when you run it and do you have the latest version installed (v2.5.3)?

I do have the latest version installed also no error message at all when typing /bgh options. I just get the usual text that we get when typing an unknown command.

I'm unable to reproduce this (I'm on the en-GB client, but it shouldn't make a difference what language you are using). Can you try disabling all addons except BodyguardHealth (if you have BugSack you can leave that enabled as well to catch errors) and see if the error still occurs?

After disabling all addons it worked. Also now it keeps working even after reactivating my addons. Very strange but at least problem solved on my side.

It's a great addon which I used to use often. Do you plan to update for 8.0.1?

In reply to Xyntress:

BodyguardHealth is trickier for me to update as the PTR doesn't give you a bodyguard (unless that's changed recently?) and I don't currently have an active WoW subscription to test on live anymore. Are you getting any Lua errors? (Install BugSack for more easily detecting them.)

There are also several issues reported here: https://github.com/SharpWoW/BodyguardHealth/issues

They may be related to your issues. I will try to have a look at them in the coming week and see what I can do!

Doesn't appear to work as of 7.1.5. Although the add-on is loaded, the bodyguard health does not display. The command /bgh also does nothing except get the notice "Type /help for a listing of a few commands".

Nice addon, quite useful :)

I'd really like if you could enable the mouse-over cast so I can heal the bodyguard without taking the target everytime, thanks :)

Seems that UNIT_HEALTH is being passed a possibly nil unit for some reason. Where did this error occur, did you have an active bodyguard before logging out?

Okay, I found the issue. The issue was with another addon, Dominos. Once I had that set up correctly everything looks good. Thanks for being so proactive in checking on it. Thanks!

I just posted a bug report. I've tried to remove this addon without any success. I've purged the addon to no avail. On login the xp bar is replaced with the bodyguardhealth bar. I have six characters with this problem Please help.
