CC Alert

CC Alert is a lightweight and customizable addon for World of Warcraft that helps players stay aware of enemy crowd control (CC) casts in PvP battles. Designed to improve reaction times, this addon displays real-time alerts for critical CC spells.

Features

• Real-Time Alerts: Receive visual and audio notifications when enemies cast key CC spells like Polymorph, Fear, Cyclone, and more.
• Customizable Alerts: Adjust the size and position of alerts to suit your preferences.
• Test Mode: Easily test alert functionality and layout with a simple test button.
• Selective CC Monitoring: Enable or disable specific CC spells through a scrollable settings panel.

Customization

Changing Alert Sounds

1. Open the CCAlert.lua File:

   • Navigate to your addon directory:

    World of Warcraft/
      _retail_/
        Interface/
          AddOns/
            CCAlert/
              CCAlert.lua

2. Modify the Sound Channel:

   • Locate the CCAlertSettings table and change the soundChannel value to your preferred channel (e.g., "SFX", "Dialog").

    CCAlertSettings = {
        alertSize = 100,
        alertPosition = { x = 0, y = 150 },
        soundChannel = "SFX", -- Options: "Master", "SFX", "Dialog", etc.
        enabledSpells = { ... },
    }

3. Change the Alert Sound (Optional):

   • In the ShowAlert function, replace the PlaySound line with a different SOUNDKIT constant if desired. lua PlaySound(SOUNDKIT.RAID_WARNING, CCAlertSettings.soundChannel)
   • Note: A list of available SOUNDKIT constants can be found on Wowpedia.

Adding and Customizing CC Spells

1. Find the Spell ID and Icon:

   • Visit Wowhead and search for the desired spell.
   • Note the Spell ID and the Icon Name (found below the spell icon on the spell's page).

2. Edit the CCAlert.lua File:

   • Enable the Spell:

    CCAlertSettings.enabledSpells = {
        [118]    = true, -- Polymorph
        [5782]   = true, -- Fear
        -- Add your new spell ID below
        [12345]  = true, -- New CC Spell
    }

   • Add Spell Details:

    CC_SPELLS = {
        [118]    = { icon = "Interface\\Icons\\Spell_nature_polymorph",        name = "Polymorph" },
        [5782]   = { icon = "Interface\\Icons\\Spell_shadow_possession",       name = "Fear" },
        -- Add your new spell details below
        [12345]  = { icon = "Interface\\Icons\\Spell_custom_newcc",           name = "New CC Spell" },
    }
