HunterAlerts

HunterAlerts is a lightweight hunter utility addon for World of Warcraft: Forever.

It watches the things hunters forget mid-pull or mid-tame and surfaces them only when something needs attention. The main panel stays hidden when everything is fine.

If you have any suggestions or if there are any Lua errors, please post them in comments.

Optional macro so Disengage and Feign Death fails can be detected:

#showtooltip Disengage
/run HunterAlerts_NotifyEscape("disengage")
/cast Disengage

#showtooltip Feign Death
/run HunterAlerts_NotifyEscape("feign")
/cast [combat] Feign Death

ALERT DELIVERY
Every alert type can be set independently to use:
• Hunter panel (movable window)
• Visual (center raid-style warning)
• Sound (per-alert dropdown of built-in game sounds, including gun-style kits)

Optional master toggles mute all panel, all visual, or all sound at once.
/halerts mute and /halerts unmute silence or restore all alert delivery quickly.

CONFIGURATION

• Lock / unlock and resize the panel
• Scale, position, thresholds
• Expected aspect and stance in/out of combat
• Per-alert sound dropdown with test preview
• Minimap button to open settings (can be shown or hidden in options)

Slash commands include options, help, mute, unmute, lock, unlock, sound on/off/list/next/number, scale, reset, and debug helpers (e.g. /halerts aspect, /halerts food).

DESIGN NOTES
• Built for WoW Forever (Classic-style hunter systems: aspects, Beast Training, pet loyalty/happiness)
• Informational only — does not automate gameplay
• Does not modify protected actions or violate typical ToS expectations for alert addons
• Panel shows only while alerts are active
