Forever Target Support

Know exactly where your next target is. Made for gamepad players, works just as well on keyboard.

Playing World of Warcraft: Forever with a controller is great, until you press LB and have no idea which of the five mobs around you gets selected next. Forever Target Support puts a clear arrow over your current target and numbered arrows over the enemies that TAB / LB will pick next, so you always know where targeting will jump.

It is built as an accessibility addon: big, high-contrast markers that are easy to read from the couch, in the dark zones, and in busy fights.

Features

Four arrow types, each with its own colour and size

• Current target: the enemy you have selected right now.
• Enemies attacking your allies: enemies hitting you, your pet/demon, or anyone in your party or raid. Also shown next to your pet when it is being hit.
• Next targets (predicted): numbered 1, 2, 3… in the order TAB / LB is expected to pick them. "1-2" means the game may pick either one first (they are at the same distance).
• Tagged targets: enemies another player already tagged get a black X with a red outline, so you don't waste time on mobs you won't get loot or credit for. The X stays even if you select it or it attacks you.

Made for gamepad

• Works with the default gamepad targeting (LB) and with TAB on keyboard.
• Pop-up prompts can be answered with the controller: A confirms, B cancels.
• B closes the settings window, just like Escape.

Easy to set up

• Settings window (/fts or the minimap button) with a live preview: a dummy boar in the middle of the screen shows exactly how each arrow will look while you adjust colours and sizes.
• 10 colours (no red, so it never gets confused with Hunter's Mark).
• Arrow size, height above the nameplate (so it sits above your DoTs), and an optional thin line pointing down to the enemy.
• Option to number only enemies in combat with you/your group, or all enemies in range.
• Optional: fade the nameplate bars so only the arrows remain.
• Shows enemies behind you at the edge of the screen (game setting, can be turned off).

Profiles

• Generic: default settings for everyone (read-only).
• 3 Personal profiles: for this character only.
• 3 Shared profiles: available on every character on your account.

Fair play / PvP

Forever Target Support does not give any advantage in PvP or against other players:

• It only draws on the nameplates the game already shows you. It has no extra information about any unit.
• It cannot see through walls and does not track players or mobs you can't already see.
• Units in Stealth, Prowl, Shadowmeld, Vanish, Invisibility or Camouflage are ignored, even if they flicker into view for a moment.
• It never targets, casts or presses anything for you. You still do all the targeting yourself; the addon only shows you where it will go.
• Settings are locked during combat.

Good to know

• The game does not tell addons the exact TAB order, so the numbers are a prediction based on distance and on which enemies you already cycled through. In most fights it matches; when two enemies are equally close you will see a shared number like "1-2".
• Arrows need Enemy Nameplates turned on. The addon turns them on for you. If you turn them off, a prompt asks whether to turn them back on (A) or continue without the addon (B).

Commands

• /fts: open settings (also via the minimap button)
• /fts minimap: reset the minimap button
• /fts debug: print what the addon sees about nearby enemies (for bug reports)
