    What version of Grid2 and game type (classic or retail) are you using ? r981

     

    What game client version (windows or mac) and language are you using ? windows

     

    What steps will reproduce the problem? not a bug

      
    Did you try having Grid2 as the only enabled addon and everything else disabled? no

      

    Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one? didn't try

      

    Do you have an error log of what happened? If you don't see any errors, make sure that error reporting is enabled (`/console scriptErrors 1`) or install [BugSack](https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/BugSack).

      

    Please provide any additional information below.

     

    Simply I got some important debuffs that I also chose them to blink in the debuffs, and I insert all debuffs as whitelist, then I assign them to border as red color, but the border isn't blinking, they show fine but not blinking, not sure if thats intended.

     

    Then I also tried to make the healthbar to blink as a whole, but the issue with this is that if I want it to blink, the health-current will not be shown, and if i choose the health color, then it will not blink.

    Working as intended, not all indicators support blinking.

    Ok thanks, which type of indicator that support blinking? only icons?

  • michaelsp posted a comment Sep 29, 2020

    All frame indicators: texts, squares, icons and bars/multibars (but the blinking status must be linked to the main-indicator not the color tab), border indicator has not his own frame so It cannot blink.

    But if you really need a blinking border you can use a square indicator to create an extra border.

    - Create a centered Square indicator, set a zero size, in this way the frame size is used and the square will cover the whole frame, (you can set a custom size too or enable the "rectangle option" to be able to configure different width and height).

    - Set a Border Size for the square indicator, set a Transparent color for the border.

    - Enable the "Swap Colors" option: with this option enabled the colors provided by the linked statuses are applied to the border, and the inner part is filled with the border color (the transparent color we configured before to avoid covering the health bar).

    Very nice strategy haha never thought of it, it works nicely albeit the border kind of look more into the inner side and smaller, but nevertheless, it works.

     

    I bookmarked this thread so that I can get to it in future to remember how to do it.
