Zoom in when indoors
Zoom out while mounted
Zoom in and rotate while teleporting/hearthing (and hide the UI!)
Set your zoom to a particular value while fishing

Back with a small request and a question:

Please consider adding the option to set and use 'view 1'. Currently it's only view 2-5. EDIT: played around with the settings a bit and it looks like you use view 1 for the 'restore' option. In that case, ignore request.

I'm trying to set up a custom situation for flying mounts. Ideally this would kick in when actually starting to fly, but there is no event for this (the closest would be PLAYER_STARTED_MOVING and checking for IsMounted() and IsFlying(), but the event doesn't cover jumping). Alternatively I figured checking if the current mount is a flying mount would be useful, but there doesn't seem to be a straightforward method for this. C_MountJournal.GetDisplayedMountInfoExtra(index) seem useful, but getting the current mount 'buff' and translating it into the appropriate index is beyond me. Any suggestions?

Yes. I use view 1 for restoring the view. As to actually flying, it seems like you've covered most of the bases already. The only thing that I could think of is mapping buff spellIds to flying mounts that you use, but that's pretty tedious.

Thanks MP. Using PLAYER_STARTED_MOVING (and hence the fact that the situation kicks in when moving forward and not when 'jumping') actually feels really natural/good. Can definitely recommend it!

Was the option for the Target Lock/Focus' setting to ignore dead enemies removed? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Yes. Blizzard made a lot of changes to these cvars in 7.2 and I simplified the system.

I had to reset my profile like suggested below to get rid of errors and get zooming to fit nameplate in world combat to work again. I went through and re set up all my situations, and I am having trouble with the NPC Interactions.

I use Immersion as well and before all I had to do was add "ImmersionFrame" to all the other frames listed when in advanced settings mode. I don't see where to add that line anymore, something seems different, and my NPC Interactions are not working correctly anymore without putting that in.

Please tell me where to add that line back in so I can get it to work. Its one of my favorite features being able to zoom to nameplate on npc interactions while using Immersion.

Thanks for the updates.

I'm unsure what to tell you. I'm running Immersion myself and the NPC interactions are working just fine. It could be that you are mounted, which has a higher default priority -- you could try increasing the priority.

No … not mounted. So you don't have to add the "Immersion Frame" line in anymore?

When I talk to an NPC, the immersion frame works as it should, but I get no zoom to fit nameplate action going on. I usually set a slight shoulder offset for this situation. That part is the only thing working.... just no zoom. If I set the zoom manually like for example.... zoom in to 7..... it works.

Do you use the zoom to fit nameplate option for NPC interaction? If not can you try it and see if it works for you?

Thanks for your reply. BTW, This addon rocks.

I do use the zoom to fit nameplate option. Do you have friendly nameplates on or do you have the toggle nameplate option on? If the addon can't find a nameplate, it can't adjust the zoom.

I figured it out.

I had to turn "toggle nameplates" setting to on. Sometimes I would get some weird zooms that would zoom in way to far... seems to be better now that I slowed down the transition time just a few notches. I also turned head tracking on and turned it all the way up for this situation and it seems to zoom in too far way less often now. If there is players standing around the NPC... it can get a little weird sometimes…. its like it cant decide which nameplate to zoom to... but its not that big of a deal... wont even notice once there isn't so many people doing the same quests, etc.

Thanks again for your work on this addon!

Is there a way to make the transition between targets when Target Lock/Focus Enemy is active more subtle? Because when I pull a pack of mobs, my camera kinda goes crazy when I switch targets. Ideally, I'd like for it to move between targets more naturally/gradually/slower instead of turning instantly.

Just re-installed this again today. None of the rotation functions are working.

I've got no idea why its not working for me then. I've tried disabling all other addons, fiddling with the settings, nothing seems to work. It doesn't rotate my screen when using a taxi or when hearthing.

I recently deleted my wtf, interface, and cache folders. Dunno if that will help you but sometimes it seems to fix things. The downside is you'll have to set all your situations again. You might be able to save a preset, but I haven't toyed with that yet.

I figured out what the problem was. It turns out that I was still using some very outdated SavedVariables that I got from Bellular a while ago. I deleted those and rebuilt the settings from scratch and now all is working properly.

The newest version has an issue ~~when combining~~ zoom to fit nameplate ~~and head bobbing during combat~~. It zooms in and out several times before settling where the old version simply snapped into position and stayed

Actually this seems to be a problem of zoom to fit nameplate exclusively. I use it when interacting with NPCs and its flipping out occasionally. (I dont use head motion in anything other than combat so it has nothing to do with that)
