Multiple raid debuff icons - not working #605

    Whenever I try to use the raid debuff icon(s) indicator, I cannot get more than one debuff shown at the same time. I've configured so it should show 5 debuffs. How will it work with multiple debuffs with the tooltip, anyways? Will there be multiple tooltips?

    Raid debuff status only provides one debuff.  so its not possible to display several raid debuffs on the same "icons" indicator, use a "Debuffs Group" status if you want to see several debuffs, or two raid-debuffs statuses (raid-debuffs2, raid-debuffs2, etc) linked to two different indicators.

    Tooltip indicator only displays one tooltip, showing the first debuff detected and displayed on the unit.

    I didn't get it completely. I am very new to this addon, and coming from Vuhdo. Do you mean that I can't add single debuffs statuses to "icons" either - like the way you can do with buffs or did I just misunderstand that?

     

    Let me try again. If I add an indicator for "icons", can I add multiple debuffs statuses, one by one, to make them show at the same time, or is this just not possible this way with debuffs? I didn't get what you mean by "debuffs group".

    You can add single debuffs to the "icons" indicator in the same way than buffs, there is not difference.

    If you assign 3 debuffs statuses to the icons indicator up to 3 icons will be displayed.

    But raid-debuffs status is a  single status that provides a single icon, if two debuffs are active on the same player, only one raid-debuff will be displayed, not the two debuffs.

     

    Debuffs groups are statuses that provide multiple debuffs & icons to the "icons" indicator. You can go to:

    Statuses -> Debuffs -> Right Panel -> select "Debuffs" , type a name for the debuffs group, click create, a new status is created, then you can go to the new created status configuration and setup what kind of debuffs you want to track, there are  many options:

    -All debuffs, Boss debuffs, dispeleable debuffs, etc.

    If you link this status to the "icons" indicator, multiple debuffs icons will be displayed.

    Oh, thank you so much for your explanation - now it's crystalclear. :)

     

    I am very impressed by Grid2 overall, and I've managed to make almost every function so far from my Vuhdo-profile. Now I will be able to fix this too, however, I miss how debuff tooltips are shown from Vuhdo when mouseover icons on the frames, if you have multiple icons out.

     

    I am like, I always want to see what the current debuff does to a player, and will always use the tooltip for it, since I can't no way in hell learn every icon that is shown and just know what it does when it goes active.

    I would like to suggest how tooltips are shown, and be able to mouseover a current debuff icon on the frame (or even buff) to get the tooltip shown for it, even if you have multiple (de)buffs out. Is this something that can be considered? Thank you again.
