This add-on alerts you when crowd control is cast on your character.

Description

CC Alert

Lightweight, on-screen alerts for important crowd-control casts.
CC Alert shows a clear, central icon and optional sound whenever a tracked CC begins casting—so you can stop it, pre-wall, or call it out fast.

Core features

  • Instant visual alert: Big, centered spell icon with a standard Blizzard overlay glow.

  • Curated default list (locked): Common, high-impact CCs are always active and shown grayed out in the list, so you can’t accidentally remove them.

  • Your custom list on top: Add any spell IDs you want. Non-default entries can be freely added/removed without touching the locked defaults.

  • Optional sound cue: Play a short audio ping when an alert triggers (toggle in options).

  • Simple sizing & placement: Drag to position; adjust icon size with a slider. Overlay glow auto-updates with size changes.

  • Zero clutter UI: Clean options panel with a live preview of the spells being tracked.

Smart behavior

  • Event-driven: Uses Blizzard cast events for responsiveness with minimal overhead.

  • Always in sync: The alert’s overlay glow follows your size/scale changes automatically.

  • Safe defaults: Defaults are merged into your list on load and when saving, so you never lose the essentials.

Configuration

  • Open options:

  • Spells tab:

    • Locked defaults appear grayed in the preview.

    • Add your own spell IDs (one per line).

    • Click Save—your list is merged with the defaults.

  • Display tab:

    • Drag the icon where you want it.

    • Adjust size and toggle sound/glow.

Why CC Alert?

  • Fast signal, low noise: Only surfaces the casts you care about.

  • Stable & lightweight: No skin dependencies; standard Blizzard glow for consistent visuals.

  • Set-and-forget defaults: You can customize freely without ever losing the core CC coverage.
