Whistle

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Hunter pet manager for any DataBroker(LDB) display.

This addon is aimed for hunters, who find it tedious that you always have to use the flyout menu if you want to call a pet, but you don't want to waste 5 key bindings for every single call pet ability.

Use:

Bind the addon to a key in the default key bindings menu, then use your LDB display addon or the minimap icon to change pets.
Or you can use it in a macro for example:

/click WhistleFrame
/cast [@pet,dead][mod:alt] Revive Pet
/cast [pet,mod:ctrl] Mend Pet 
/cast [pet,mod:shift] Dismiss Pet

Restriction:

You can not change pets in combat with the addon.
THE ADDON NEEDS TO BE LOCALIZED TO WORK CORRECTLY

You can help out with localization at: http://www.wowace.com/addons/whistle/localization/

You are going to have to be a lot more specific than that. Are you getting any errors, what do you see, what do you expect to see, what version are you using?

Could you check again? I added the deDE localization. You can find the latest alpha at http://www.wowace.com/addons/whistle/files/

if i'm right it should call the last pet used in fight or out of combat, but it still doesn't work =/
tried both ways.

But do you see the minimap icon, does it have text, can you see your active pets there?

First you have to select a pet from the menu, then use the key binding. You can not summon a pet buy just clicking it in the menu. You can't change pet in combat with the addon.

I'm using NPCScan also without a problem.

Everyone has their proper name on the list!

I found that when using both Whistle and NPCScan, the pet names all show up as empty slots (Pet Slot 1, etc). The addon still works, and summons whatever pet is in that slot. I'm also not getting any UI errors. Very handy addon, by the way. Thanks!

This is great!

I should have posted my actual macro in the first place but I just took the "Click whistleframe" and made mine work. If you're curious. (This is bound to shift 4 for me)

#showtooltip
/cast [@pet, dead] Revive Pet
/cast [button:2, @pet, exists] Dismiss Pet; [button:2, nopet] Revive Pet
/click [nopet] WhistleFrame
/cast [@pet, exists] Mend Pet

If pet dead then Revive. If right click and exist then dismiss. If right click and no exist then Revive. Otherwise, use amazing Mod to summon pet and Mend Pet everything else.

Thank you so much, This just made life awesome again.

I updated the description with an example of how to use it in a macro and get kind of the effect you described. Let me know if this is what you wanted.

Any way to make this work in a macro? For example: My old macro is something like this /cast [nopet] Call Pet /cast [@pet,dead][mod:shift] Revive Pet /cast [pet,nomod,button:1] Mend Pet /cast [pet,nomod,button:2] Dismiss Pet

This no longer works because the Call Pet spell has to have a 1-5 on it (As you know since you made this awesome addon. :P ) and that's annoying when constantly changing roles.

I'd love to just change the "/cast [nopet] Call Pet" to something like "/run [nopet] Whistle" or whatever macro commands would make that function. With the help of your addon I'm now using 2 buttons to do the same thing that one did before but at least it's easier than using the Call Pet flyout.

I've been trolling the .com UI & Macro forums for days with no help. Is this even possible with your current coding?

As an example, the Mountiful mod makes a macro you put on your action bar instead of assigning a keybind to the addon.

could you add the function like

"if [nopet], then [call last pet];
if [pet=dead] or [nopet,modifier], then [revive pet];
if [pet=exists] cast [mend pet]"

please?^^

if i do understand it the right way then you simply added the "/click WhistleFrame" command without the rest of the macro. if this is true then it's exactly what i meant. thx for the excellent job you did. =)
can't test it right now, cuz my account is frozen atm.

btw.
this would be an amazing feature for zhunter ( http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/zhunter-mod.aspx ), which is given up by the original author. as i remember he is willing to pass on his project.
i'd do it on my own, if i had the knowledge of programming =/
it would be cool to see you continueing his job. i think you have the right ideas (like whistle^^) to make it the ultimate hunteraddon.
