Player always on top of frames #1332

    Hi ^^

    I have no idea how to do this, and maybe it’s not possible.

     

    I’m a healer, and I want to always be at the top of my group in a raid environment. Why? The gameplay of Pres Evoker is engulfing yourself so I want to be in the same spot always and be the closest to the center of my screen.

    I know it’s possible to place healers at the top by assigning with role, but when multiple healers are in the same group, the order is determined by "Name," "Index," or "Name List."

    The previous options may be the key, focusing on "Index" or "Name List," but these options have problems that involve other people and not just me.

    • Index: I have to ask the raid leader or main assist to move me or move other players. It may seem easy, but what happens if another healer also wants to be at the top?

    • Name List: This solves the problem of two players with the same role wanting to be on top, but it requires manually writing all the raid names and then ordering them exactly as my raid in case we do a boss with groups like 1-3 and 2-4.

    Maybe custom? I see another problem there. Using "raid1...player...raid20" works, but with this option, every time I move from one group to another, I have to adjust the order of "player" to be in the correct position, and I might have to swap "raid5" for "raid18" or something similar to show all players of the raid.



    I have two suggestions:

    1. Add a sorting option like "Player then Name" or "Player then Index".
    2. Add a role button similar to "Tank," "Healer," or "Damager," but for "Player".

     

    Would this be possible to implement? Thanks for your time! <3

     

    PS:

     

    I also tried modifying the GridLayoutLayouts.lua file on the following line:

    local DEFAULT_ROLE_ORDER = Grid2.versionCli<30000 and 'MAINTANK,MAINASSIST,NONE' or 'HEALER,TANK,DAMAGER,NONE'

    I attempted to add "PLAYER" before all of this, but I have no knowledge of coding, and it didn’t work :(

    Not possible to implement.

     

    Note: Using a custom layout is  possible to add an extra row to display only the player, but then your toon will be displayed twice, in  the first row (corresponding to the player unit) and in the standard raid position.
