Is it possible to disable/hide player (myself) from party frame?

Atm I'm doing, /run GladiusEx:HideUnit("player") every game an option would be nice.

I love this addon, for the creaters of it.  the only problem i can see and have to request is above each one of your enemy fram can it show who they are targetting on your team.  it used to do that, but for some reason now  it doesnt

This is the best addon I've used in a long time. It has replace the original Gladius as well as Healbot. 

As a healer I'd like to seen Healbot type options added to the Party frames of GEX. For instance I'd like to see highlighting for buff/debuff that I need to be dispelling. As well as more modifier key additions. Right now only alt- shift- and ctrl- can be used by themselves. With Healbot you can use any combination. I'd like to see shift- + alt- or any other combination.  

Thanks a lot!  Keep up the good work.  

hey thanks for the great addon!

there's bug in arena's colddown. After you detach the CD from arena frame, the CD only show the arena1's CD and skip arena2 and 3 CD. also the group2 of the enemy CD doesnt work, it only show trinket.

If you use something like ShadowedUnitFrames for your party frames normally, you can set them to hide when you enter an arena, but it would be handy to have that option, so you can use a similar interface for duels, etc. 

You should make it an option to make party frames show when you're in a party, regardless of if you're in arena or not.  I dig them.  Or, possibly, make it a standalone addon.

I agree with Mozu, also an option to keep yourself from being shown in the party frames as well to eliminate redundancy.

First I'd like to say that this addon is so awesome it cannot even begin to praise you enough for it. It makes like ... 10 or 12 other addons completely obsolete. That being said, few things would improve it to be even better:

- "make my Buffs / Debuffs bigger" option, maybe with a scaling "how much bigger". Display not only mine or all or dispellable, just mine get bigger. Similar stuff was done in Pearl Unit Frames. This, plus movable castbars and ability to be used outside arenas, would allow Gex to completely substitute for basic frames except for target and focus (adding which might be an option, as long as they are optional).

- since the addon itself has code to recognize CC on someone, maybe adding an option that automatically uses the "alert" script when it happens wouldn't require too much work - it would be awesome. If it could alert only on dispellable CC, even better. I don't have problems with this myself when I play a healer, but when I play a DPS with a dispel (ele shammy, balance druid, mage), i tend to overlook hexes (which is not hard to add by itself to an alert), and when I play a priest, I overlook most other types of magicCC (and there are a lot of them - so adding them one by one is a lot of work),

- "healer" mode to display buffs and debuffs with timers inside the HP frame of a party member - perhaps with options to enlarge certain buffs (such as PW:S, Lifebloom, Earthshield, Riptide, Beacon of Light) or debuffs (Weakened Soul etc.). This would allow healers, such as myself, to completely get rid of party addon in an arena which I myself currently only use to monitor who has what. Unfortunately, GladiusEx does not pass the exam in this deparment, as there is no way to arrange auras in a way that makes them easy to check with a glimpse.

Still, as I said, these are just suggestions, and the addon itself is 12/10 type awesome by itself. Additional functionality is by no means required for it to fulfill its purpose. Still, seeing as you want to improve it to get rid of many other (not needed) addons, I thought I'll give suggestions a shot.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the quick answer!

The option to enlrage certain auras (especially player-cast auras as a general cathegory) is the key to make this addon a great standalone (well, that and ability to use partyframes outside of arenas, which would be so epic Hans Zimmer would need to make a soundtrack to it ;p). I don't think most people (at least those I know to use Gex) would really need a target/player frame with such an addition, as far as arenas are concerned at least (and that is the scope, so I think it would be bad to go further than that, though exchanging arena1 for "target" outside of arenas would be an epic option if you ever had the time and will to add it).

In terms of CC / important auras, I had no idea how this worked (though I have some minor experience in programming scripts in python, .lua is alien to me and I have no time to actually remedy this). So a filter to alert on appearance of an "important aura" after a check if it can be dispelled by the player would probably be extremely time and resource consuming too?

I had played with anchor points and relative points for auras, but as long as auras are the same size / opacity / have the same outline, this does not achieve anything, as important stuff gets lost along the sea of garbage auras. I did not have "grid" layout in mind, but more like something not similar, but more like "inspired" by VuhDo's "notification bars / buttons" that can be displayed in a frame or near a frame as a bar, button, icon or layover based on a predefined condition (such as "display a nice green dot with black boarder with a number of stacks and a timer here when this frame has Lifebloom"). Few predefined places this can appear in, option to use a circle / square of a certain color or icon, stacks / timer. As of now, I have achieved this effect with quite an unwieldy configuration of PowerAuras, but I still think it's better than using some aberrant combination of partyframes, raven, powerauras, afflicted3 and other addons that basically does what GladiusEx does better by itself and cool looking, with no hassle. So the only thing that I had to leave from my old "partyframe" setup Was the poweraura thing, which doesn't really look that great, cannot be perfectly adjusted and does not provide functionality proportional to the setup time (including creating 3 anchors for party1, party2 and player for my case for like 8-10 auras per healing class / spec I use ;P). I guess addin something even remotely similar to this would require too much work for you, especially since "make auras cast by me bigger by X% / Y pixels" and/or "reduce / increase opacity of auras / auras cast by player" would go a long way towards fulfilling the goal of making hots / shields cast by the player noticable with the option to enlarge certain debuffs (such as Weakened Soul) with timers from OmniCC.

Edit: though if "grid-style" counters for hots/shields/shield debuffs with stacks and timers would be possible to achieve somehow that would be beyond awesome. But again, I have no idea how much hassle this would require to incorporate, so I'll be happy with whatever you do anyway :) It's your time it takes to make and maintain this addon and it is greatly appreciated (so greatly that this is actually the first addon I think I might donate if I dig up my paypal login/pass :P).

Thanks again for the reply and keep up the good work!

PS Have you considered changing the name / abbreviating the name to GEX - GladiusEx? When I try to talk my friends into using gladiusex, they can't find it, as google corrects the search to Gladius. Even "gladiusex curse" or the project site are hard to find via google when not using quotation marks ;-)

Sorry for the wall of text ;]

- Awesome.

-Double awesome.

-An option like "Display party frames outside of arena - use this at your own risk, as this is a test option" with an added "Enable / disable this module if in a party of 2 / 3 / 5" or "Enable/disable outside of arena" (if that is even possible) would be triple awesome. I don't really think we need to be talking "viable" here, just no need to run scripts to enable Gex outside of arenas at people's own risk (would completely understand why you wouldn't want to add half-baked solutions though). I think most people, including myself, would just like to not have to run an additional, often basic, party frame addon/module just to run a heroic or scenario from time to time. People who use gex, who found it and know what it does, usually play PvP first and foremost (at least I think so, why else would they need it? :P). Only party-pvp mode is an arena - rest is raid-based. So the only other group modes - dungeons while leveling / heroics / scenarios, are probably secondary for a person who uses a specific, profiled PvP UF addon and they don't really require anything fancy. I think if someone wants to run challenge modes or heroic scenarios they already have party UF suitable for that purpose and won't even notice. For the rest, at least imo, a basic fix (enough to have the UFs there and with working HP/power bars and auras) would suffice to run leveling dungeons and few hcs without the hassle of installing / turning on / off another addon for the sake of it. More than that, it would have an added benefit of being able to get used to Gex before entering an arena, and that is perhaps the most important part.

- Well I havn't really though about the alert important dispellable as a hack. So many addons do this that it seemed right to me (ElvUI party frames with two filters: important and check only dispellable; VuhDo; some configurations of Grid + modules). But I guess you're right - it does sound cheesy now that I think of it.

You should consider adding feral cyclone to the cooldowns section (20 sec cd). Also pet frames make a healer's life much easier, just small health bars would be perfect to be honest.

Thanks again!
