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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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

I used to have a macro very much like the one you propose (but with /cast call pet as the last line). My main gripe with the Whistle macro is that I can't get it to switch icon based on what modifier I am using (or the criteria). With my old macro I could always tell what would happen when I clicked and didn't have to "fumble in the dark". I realize that is mainly a Blizzard problem unless there is a way for you to pass on an icon for the macro to display for the "/click WhistleFrame" line. When I put that line last I do get the other icons, but only a question mark for calling the pet. I know my description was rather muddled, but hope it was clear enough (and really hope this is something that you can work in without requiring Blizzard to change WOW to fix a hunter problem ... would never happen.

The current R1.2 is not packaged correctly.

The ZIP has LibDBIcon-1.0.lua in the following odd folder path that isn't reflected in the TOC: \DBIcon-1.0\LibDBIcon-1.0\LibDBIcon-1.0.lua. The folder path should be as noted in the TOC: \LibDBIcon-1.0\LibDBIcon-1.0.lua.

CallbackHandler-1.0 is also packaged one folder deeper than listed in the TOC.

I'm using Fortress-1.14. Don't you get the Minimap icon even without an LDB display?
