    What version of Grid2  are you using (Version is displayed in General/About Tab) ?

    V2.0.67

     

    What game client version, classic or retail, windows or mac and language are you using ?

     Wotlk-Classic. Win10, english

     

    What steps will reproduce the problem?

    Raiding Malygos

       

    Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?

    Yes, but i cant remember

      

     

    Simply put, i would like to know the correct settings to have a properly working raidframe for the Malygos encounter in phase 3, when every player switches to their vehicle.

    There have been numerous bugs with this (also Oculus final boss), but it sometimes work. My current settings started to yield this:

     

     Here, i cannot target the drakes, but i can target the players, but i dont know what their drake status is. its really messy.

    So, maybe you can provide settings which are safe to work with for idiots like me.

     

    Thanks!

    Unfortunatelly some blizzard vehicle management game code is bugged. Blizzard disabled some vehicle code in the game for vanilla and burning crusade, and they forgot to reenable the code for Wrath.

     

    The fast fix is to disable the toggle for vehicle option in General/Layouts/General Tab. With this option disabled the players and vehicles are not swapped.

     

    If you want to swap players with vehicles (maintaining the toggle for vehicle option enabled), you cannot use clique or mouseover macros to target or heal the dracos, you should relly on the grid2 default left-click, or ctrl-left-click or alt-left-click or crtl-alt-left-click to target the dracos, because addons/configurations that override the default grid2 left click are not going to work and should be disabled.

     

    You can uses the "vehicle" status linked to some text indicator to display the draco's owner, for example in this screenshot the vehicle status is linked to the text-up indicator:

     

    vehicle example

     

    One last question: Are you sure you can target players in malygos p3 ? Because as far as i know players cannot be targeted in this phase, and the workaround implemented in grid2 (an internal mouseover macro) to try to fix the blizzard missing code allowing to target the dracos only works because players are not targetable in this phase.

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

     

    should pet groups be detached or unattached?

     

    one note, i played oculus with my twink two days ago, and it was actually perfect insofar that once the players mounted, the player vanished from the party frame and the pet appeared instead. i would love to see this behaviour in raid, too.

    It does not matter if pets are detached or not.

    Replacing players with pets is whats toggle for vehicle option is for, the same behaviour is displayed in your screenshot. If you dont see the players as pets in oculus is because you selected a layout with no visible pets for party/dungeon groups (General/Layouts/By Group Type to choose different layouts).

    Hi michaelsp, I am having same problem as nouse01, is there any way I could still see "Vehicle or Wyrmest HP" with toogle for vehicle option disable? I mean I would like to be able to see wyrmest HP cause as long as I know HP from player does goes up or down even if it's drake is getting damaged. Maybe I could create an indicator with HP % on vehicles and give it prio on player HP % , I am kind of new with this addon, if u could answer me u would do me a favour.
