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

Hi, my goal is to have the auto positioning of icons but with squares, so I don't have multiple square indicators with a fixed position. Would this be possible to implement?

I am currently trying to write a plugin myself but I can't to figure out how to register a new indicator with a seperate addon.

It can be done with a minimal change in icons indicator (its already implement in icon[singular] indicator, there is a "Display Square" option), but im not sure if the resulting behaviour is what you have in mind. What kind of information do you want to display using squares ?

I want the same information that the regular square indicator has. No stacks, no cooldown.

But could you provide a real example (which specific buffs or game information you want to display) ?

I want to use it for healer buffs/hots.
I think I can explain it better with a picture (resto shaman):
This is a cast sequence on the same unit.

I added a "Display Squares" option in icons indicator, so:

1. Create an Icons indicator.

2. Goto layout tab in the new created icons indicator options.

3. Enable "Display Squares" toggle (Appearance section).

4. Select "None" for Text Location option (Stack Text  section).

5. Enable "Disable Cooldown" (Cooldown Section).

Not extensive tested, let me know if you find some bug.

Thank you for adding it.

The blink effect doesn't seem to work right now.

I set the threshold for riptide to 5 seconds but only if I set it up as a square indicator it starts blinking.

Question unrelated to the issue:

Setting a blink threshold for earth shield seems to apply for the remaining duration and not remaining stacks is this intended?

- Blink effect only work for standard single data indicators, multidata indicators like icons or multibars are a special case.

- Blink threshold is only applied for remaining durations, no stacks, working as intended.
