Minimap yellow dot addon request...

Is there anyone out there who could develop an addon that makes the screen shake or a read frame around the UI or something....maybe a sound... when a yellow dot comes up on the minimap. Would be awsome for Herbalism...

Is this even doable? I have no clue since I am a naab!!

/ Thank you|||You're asking about changing the image of the tracked item in question, right? Like a red aura or change in hue to make the target stand out against it's background?|||Re-read his post.

He's asking for something to alert him when he's running when a minimap dot appears on the minimap.

So he doesn't have to keep watching it while running i assume.|||I looked in Wowwiki and did not see any event triggered by the dots appearing. So it looks like the answer is no, at least for now.|||Ahh...darn.

And yes, Auren. You understood me right. I keep forgetting checking the Minimap for these cute little dots. Would have been an kick ass addon to have an alert of some sort when they appear on the Minimap. =)



Well thanks for answering Jumpy.

Ps. Ahh..I see i made a misspell. No wonder my post got missunderstood...=P

Red frame....not read frame. =P|||It is also not possible to ask wow how many itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka-dots there are visible on the map.

What Gatherer does is remember where YOU were when encountering a node. It then draws stuff on the minimap "hoping" for it to match with the actual dots (which it sometimes not quite does). So, no, the screen shake is not possible.|||but if someone could make the screenshake() [from"La Vendetta Boss Mods" "comix" ,"DBM",mods],and add the "if ...then"

then what you want is out|||Quote:

No, you cannot detect when the dots appear, you clearly have no understanding of coding.|||sorry,i'm not a pro ,i just want to give some possible help. ><|||I seem to remember this being possible once upon a time, but having checked recently, it definitely seems like you can't detect when they appear... Whether Blizz changed it in a Patch at some point, or my memory is just faulty, I'm not sure ;)
