Alter Time Tracking

Version: 1.1.0
GitHub: https://github.com/KrunoslavKrainovic/AlterTimeTracking

A World of Warcraft addon for Mages that tracks your health when using Alter Time, helping you decide whether to use the recall or cancel the buff.

What It Does

When you cast Alter Time, the addon saves your current health. It then displays both your saved health and current health, so you can see at a glance whether recalling would heal you or cause you to lose HP.

Features

Health Tracking - Automatically saves your health when Alter Time Recall is cast
Live Display - Shows saved health vs current health in real-time
Icon Display - Movable icon showing timer, saved health, and current health (default display)
Timer Display - Separate movable countdown timer showing time remaining until Alter Time expires
Movable Elements - Drag the icon, timer, and health text anywhere on your screen (positions are saved)
Customizable Text - Change the display format using %saved and %current placeholders
Custom Color - Pick any color for the text using a color picker
Adjustable Font Size - Slider to change text size for both text and icon (10-32)
Adjustable Icon Size - Slider to change icon size (32-128)
Short Numbers - Option to display health as 300k instead of 300000
Percent Display - Option to show health as percentage (83% instead of 250000)
Test Mode - Preview the display and move it without needing to cast spells
Reset to Defaults - One-click reset for all settings

Know things

I can’t detect when someone cancels Alter Time or when it gets dispelled during combat because of Blizzard API restrictions.
Even though I can get dampening / healing reduction values, I can’t make calculations because the Blizzard API restrictions.
I can’t show red/green indicators for when you should cancel or not because of Blizzard API limitations.
