Can't Heal You will automatically whisper people who you try to heal or buff, but who move out of your range or aren't in line of sight. That way, they know you're trying, and can possibly move to help you heal them.
It works automatically -- you just cast your healing spells and buffs the way you already do, even if that's through Healbot, Grid+Clique, or whatever. It also only whispers people who are in your raid, party, or guild, so you don't whisper random strangers you decide to try to buff.
Needs toc update for 9.1
Please update for TBC <3
If you dps then heal or heal then dps it will often whisper someone "You are out of range" or "You are out of line of sight" even though they aren't. It didn't used to do this :(
Can you invalidate the information about who and what spell was cast swiftly so that we reduce the problem of mistells - old targets being told incorrect information about range or line of sight. I use healbot and during a raid cause quite a lot of confusing chatter - I'm not sure if the benefits of correct messages outweigh the distractions of incorrect messages.

I wanted to let you know about a bug.
When I use Crackling Jade Lightning on an enemy, when the enemy is out of range, this addon will randomly whisper someone in my party or raid telling them I tried to heal them and they were out of range. It randomly chooses one of my healing spells to send them as something I tried to use. I have no idea why.
Any chance for updates on this in 2020?
Unfortunately, when WoW sends addons a message that the target is out of range, it doesn't give any helpful information such as which spell the message is about, who the target was, or anything like that. Thus, Can't Heal You has to save these things each time you cast a spell, and then use the saved information when it gets an ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE event. Since WoW can drop events, though, it's possible that you can cast a spell, CHY sees it and memorizes the information, but then you cast a different spell and CHY doesn't get notified of it. If that second spell gets ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE, since that error (unlike some of the other spell errors) doesn't include information about which spell and what target, CHY whispers the target of the previous spell, using the outdated information.
I'll see what I can do to improve it, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to fix it 100%.
In reply to efindel:
I love this addon, but I'm having an issue where after I heal someone if I try to help DPS, it whispers the last person healed that they are out of range. Is there any fix for this or anything I can do?
In reply to meltedrose:
I have the same issue. Not so bad as a paladin since you heal tank 99% of the time, but when I change target and its out of range/los, the whisper goes to the tank (previous target).
Is there a built-in cooldown on whispers? Just so I don't accidentally spam the hell out of someone for whatever reason.
In reply to Col_Hathi:
Yes! You can configure the cool down between whispers in the configuration panel.
Any chance of this getting ported to Classic?
As a healer this is a major pet peeve of mine and I cannot find another addon that does the same.
In reply to Forge_User_50408313:
It should work fine in Classic -- just turn on the option to load "out of date" addons. That will let you load addons "from the future" (i.e., with game versions higher than the current one) as well.
I absolutely love this addon. I have experienced a problem though and I haven't figured out how to fix it. I use both the VuhDo and Clique addons and as a MistWeaver Monk, I DPS a bit also. Whenever I've healed through VuhDo or Clique, then go to DPS using Blizzard keybound bindings, I've had this addon whisper my last target that it can't cast the spell used.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. It's not a big issue, but it has been annoying.
I've had several players not only thank me for this addon but apologize for going to fast or not realizing for LOS.
I thank you!
Thanks for the 7.3 update
In understand that it may be a good idea to choose if we like to use say, or party, or raid instead of whispers.
But this addon is a bit old and I think in some point I'll change the whole configuration to work as an Ace AddOn, but that required some rework, eventually I'll get it done.
I was not able to reproduce the error about saving the messages with the config as-is.
same problem as Barovian
I tried to edit the message but it wasnt saved, anyone knows how to fix that?
