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.

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!

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.

If anyone is still working on this addon, first a big thank you! I came looking for an addon like that cos healing Eye of Azshara can be a pain in the second boss fight due how often the DPS go LoS and this is a huge help. Tho I think some more options would make the addon perfect, if this can be done would be great. If you dont mind a suggestion , would be great if you could add an option to convert the whisper to player to a /say mentioning the player name. Thing is during combat many people ignore the whispers received, cos clicking in the tab to read it could complicate things, and I think many would find less spammy if said, since they are used to see warning on screen by DBM/etc. I tried to edit the message but it wasnt saved, anyone knows how to fix that?

Got RAGE attacked for this addon in a dungeon I was running for how "annoying it was". Shortly afterwatds he out of LoS and died because I couldn't get a heal on him.

Poetic justice.

Truly my greatest addon!

This addon gets more comments & questions from party members than all of my ~50 other addons, combined. This addon has saved lives many times.

Also interesting is how players respond to it. Wise players appreciate it and ask me for this addon's name. Paranoid players think I am a bot. Foolish players get annoyed. I especially like "trying" one last heal on a foolish prima donna who has run out of range and died. Those who comment get a macro I made that explains this addon's purpose: no-fault insurance :).

I love this addon and it's my favorite right up there with my healbot. The incapacitated option doesn't work though. Every time I'm in a dungeon (RDF) and I get stunned or feared it's just says that I'm not in a party.

I absolutely love this addon, it's my favorite and I can't imagine not using it. Been away from WoW for a while and just came back and this was the first one I downloaded :)

Still works ok in patch 5.4 it does... I am sure it does not work as good as it can do but hey it is many patches old now... I am sure there are no lua errors yet

Anyways I hope you find the love to play again... If you once enjoyed it then you should still do so... Maybe do a realm transfer of one of your favorite toons

It does show that more than one person here loves your addon and your work

Sorry to hear that efindel. Sounds like you hit a had string of bad luck man. Off the addon subject of course. We have a real great guild with some incredible memebers than may be able to keep your maind off other things. I hate to see you stop playing if the game is what you enjoy. Come hang out with Majestic Dragons on Tanaris if you ever decide to give it a whirl again. Really great add-on I will miss it! I do update the TOC files in most cases, but when it is dead dead I do give up and try to find something else.

So... it's time to be honest with you all. This is the situation:

I originally wrote "Can't Heal You" for my wife, because she played primarily a healer, and was constantly having people in dungeons and raids run out of range while she was trying to heal them, be out of LoS, and so forth.

And there's the problem. My wife is now my ex-wife, having left me about two years ago now for someone she met on WoW. Someone who was in our guild.

So, I simultaneously lost the person I was writing it for - who was also my primary beta tester - and the main people I played WoW with. I'd thought that after a while, everything in WoW would stop reminding me of her... but it hasn't yet, which makes trying to do anything with my addons painful.

I'd been doing (slow) updates for a while, but right now, I don't even have a subscription - the card I had my subscription on expired, and since I hadn't been logging in anyway, I didn't change it. I keep telling myself that I'm going to resubscribe and at least get on long enough to see what needs to be fixed in my addons for the current version and do that, but I keep finding excuses not to.

I'd sort of hoped that someone else would come along and offer to maintain my addons, but it doesn't look like that's happening. I'm not sure I'm going to get joy out of playing WoW again any time soon, and when you're not playing, working on addons feels like work. (Especially since I'm now working as a programmer as my day job, which I wasn't when I created Can't Heal You and my other addons.)

As far making it work goes... as with any addon, if you update the .toc file to have the current WoW version string, WoW will think it's up to date. That won't affect the functioning of the addon in any way - it's no different than checking the box to run out of date addons and then enabling it.

Addons can't do anything to WoW's own files - WoW runs them in a "sandbox", limiting what they can do, and one thing addons can't do is write to any files. The only way they can save things is by asking WoW to save them, and WoW determines what files it's going to put them in. The addon doesn't have any control over that, which is deliberate, to keep people from making addons that put viruses or other things on your computer.

To get the current version string, look in the .toc file for any addon that is up to date. It'll be in there. It'll look like:

## Interface: 50001

The number there will be different, and you'll want to change that line in Can't Heal You's .toc to match.

I'm sorry, guys. I've meant well, but WoW is still painful for me right now. I don't know when or if I'm going to update again right now.

That's a shame. I don't blame you one bit for losing interest in the game and the add-on, though this was one I loved.
