CooldownCall

One-click whisper that asks an assigned raid member to cast a cooldown. You set up calls — a cooldown (Power Infusion, Innervate, Blessing of Protection, …) tied to a specific player from your group — and CooldownCall shows them as small clickable bars on screen. Click a bar and the assigned player gets a whisper like "Use Power Infusion!".

It does not announce anything when you cast a spell. It is a request tool: a fast, quiet way to ask the right person for the right cooldown at the right moment.

Why

In a raid you often need a cooldown from someone else now — Power Infusion on the mage, Innervate on a healer, Blessing of Protection on yourself. Calling it out in voice or fumbling a manual whisper is slow. CooldownCall turns it into a single click.

• Pick the caster from your group/raid — class and role are detected automatically.
• Only cooldowns that caster's class actually has are offered (or type any custom spell).
• Each call becomes a clickable on-screen bar with the spell icon, the cooldown name, and the caster's name in their class colour.
• Bars are sorted by role (combat rez, defensives, mana, throughput, …), resizable, and movable.
• Clicking a bar sends a configurable whisper (with a clickable spell link) to the assigned player.
• Once the caster uses the spell, the bar shows the remaining cooldown and greys out until it's back up.

Standalone, lightweight, pure Lua — not a WeakAura, not bolted onto another addon. No companion app, no setup beyond installing it.

Requirements

• TBC Classic / Anniversary (Interface 2.5.x)

Installation

Install via your addon manager, or unpack into the AddOns folder:

World of Warcraft/_anniversary_/Interface/AddOns/CooldownCall/

(For non-Anniversary TBC use _classic_ instead of _anniversary_.)

Setup

1. Open the options: click the minimap button, or type /cc.
2. While in a group/raid, pick a caster from the dropdown — their class is detected.
3. Pick a cooldown from that class's list (or type a custom spell name/ID).
4. Click Add call. A bar appears on screen.
5. Edit the message per call if you like. Tokens: {spell}, {caster}, {target}.
6. /cc unlock, drag the bars where you want them, then /cc lock.

To fire a call: click its bar (or the Call button in the options window). The assigned player receives the whisper.

Appearance

• Dark mode (default): charcoal background, caster names and the window accent in class colour.
• Light mode: class-coloured background with a charcoal border and text.

Toggle with the Theme button in the options window.

Commands

All commands also work with /cdcall and /cooldowncall.

Notes & limitations

• The cooldown catalog is hand-curated for TBC and grouped by class. It is not exhaustive — anything missing can be added with the custom field (spell name or ID). Spells from later expansions (e.g. Pain Suppression, a WotLK ability) are intentionally absent on TBC.
• Casters are chosen from your current group/raid, so class/role detection needs you to be grouped when adding a call. The call is remembered afterwards.
• The whisper is sent with SendChatMessage to the assigned character name. If that player is offline or on another realm, the whisper simply won't arrive — CooldownCall doesn't track delivery.
• Settings are stored per character profile (AceDB).
