HotCandy

Table of Contents

HotCandy is a Heal-over-Time tracker initialy designed for Druids, but has grown into a full HoT/Buff tracker for all healing classes.

HotCandy was designed to be very simple and easy to use, with only a handful of options to customize the style of the bars. However its core is powerful and supports all known set bonuses, talents and glyphs that increase the length of your HoTs.

HotCandy is driven solely by the CombatLog events which provide it with all information it needs to display accurate timers for the HoTs you cast on other players (or yourself, of course).

Supported Spells

Druids
- Lifebloom (with stack display)
- Rejuvenation
- Regrowth
- Wild Growth (disabled by default)
Priests
- Renew
- Power Word: Shield
- Prayer of Mending (with remaining charges display)
- Holy Word: Serenity
- Divine Aegis (disabled by default)
Paladin
- Beacon of Light
Shamans
- Riptide
- Ancestral Healing
- Earthliving (disabled by default)
Hunter
- Mend Pet

All supported spells can be enabled/disabled in the HotCandy configurarion, as you see fit.

You can access the HotCandy configuration through the Blizzard Interface AddOns Options, or with the /hotcandy slash command.

One other "bug" to report:

I leave HotCandy enabled on multiple toons, and recently, it's been reporting an error when I log onto my non-HoT-casting toons (like a Warlock or Paladin). Specifically, this line 392 in HotCandy.lua 1.4.0:

for k,v in pairs(spells[class]) do

My selfish quick fix was to just add in my extra classes as empty tables to the "spells" table at the top:

WARLOCK = {},
PALADIN = {},

Great lightweight addon. Tiny little problem though, could you somehow try to make it work with the new renew glyph? and try to fix the "bug" of permanently resetting itself after a relogg or a ui-reload. these two nicks are a bit of a pain

One bug I've found with the 3.02 version: it does not recognize the 2nd Lifebloom cast on another target. If I cast on myself, it registers fine. On anyone else, it misses the 2nd Lifebloom. The bar still refreshes to maximum, but it doesn't show (2), whereas my unit frames show it correctly.

Ex:

1st cast
Unit Frames: Lifebloom x 1
HotCandy: Lifebloom x 1

2nd cast
Unit Frames: Lifebloom x 2
HotCandy: Lifebloom x 1

3rd cast
Unit Frames: Lifebloom x 3
HotCandy: Lifebloom x 2

Will there be support for glyphs? Currently my Renew is shortened by 3 seconds by a glyph, but the bars stats off animating the original 16 seconds and then abruptly cuts off 3 seconds early.

You can edit HotCandy.lua to fix this issue and get rid of the error message:

local VERSION = tonumber(("$Revision$"):match("%d+"))
Need to add a revision number, for example:
local VERSION = tonumber(("$Revision: 13000 $"):match("%d+"))

HotCandy.date = ("$Date$"):match("%d%d%d%d%-%d%d%-%d%d")
Need to add a date, for example:
HotCandy.date = ("$Date: 2008-10-01 00:00:00 -0000 (Wed, 01 oct 2008)$"):match("%d%d%d%d%-%d%d%-%d%d")

Not to sound like a jerk but shouldn't this be fixed by the mod author instead of the user?
