CombatNotify
Never miss the moment you pull aggro or drop out of combat. CombatNotify shows a short +Combat / -Combat message in scrolling text whenever you enter or leave combat.
Features
- +Combat (red) when you enter combat, -Combat (green) when you leave.
- Built-in scrolling text you can fully adjust:
- Scroll speed
- Scroll distance
- Font size
- Screen position
- Scroll up or down
- Drop shadow or outline
- Custom text and colors for both messages.
- Optional sound alert.
- Can send messages to MikScrollingBattleText, Parrot, SCT, or Blizzard's own floating combat text instead.
- Lightweight: no libraries, and it only reacts to two events.
Options
Open the options with /cn, or go to Game Menu > Options > AddOns > CombatNotify. Use the Test button to preview changes as you make them.

Notes
- Speed, size and position settings apply to the built-in display. Other scrolling text addons and Blizzard's floating combat text use their own settings.
- If the display you picked isn't available (for example, Blizzard floating combat text is turned off), CombatNotify falls back to its built-in text.
