CombatNotify

Shows +Combat / -Combat scrolling text when you enter or leave combat, with adjustable speed, size, colors and position.

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.

Slash commands

Command What it does
/cn Open the options panel
/cn test Show both messages
/cn toggle Turn CombatNotify on or off
/cn enter <text> Change the enter-combat message
/cn leave <text> Change the leave-combat message
/cn reset Restore default settings

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.
