This project relies on community contributions
A huge amount of time and effort went into this, and I had always intended to continue its support, but due to various circumstances I am unable to continue developing this addon.
However, as some awesome folks have expressed interest in helping maintain the project, I have created a public GitHub repository. Should you wish to contribute please feel free to fork and submit a pull request. More on this as the process gets going. Many thanks for the support.

I dont know if the author still reads these comments... but over the years, ive managed to adjust the code to keep it working through the expansions... i have finally hit an error i can't figure out.
Upon entering, i get a lua error
Frame MrTargetGroupHARMFUL: Unknown script element OnClick
and
Frame MrTargetGroupHELPFUL: Unknown script element OnClick
I can't find this anywhere in the code... the mod continues to function just fine as far as i can tell though. Can anyone tell me where to look to make this error go away?
In reply to mem5000:
Hi mem5000, I do check the comments, but I'm not able to work on the addon anymore. The variables you're looking are:
self.frames.HARMFUL = MrTargetGroup:New('HARMFUL', false); and
self.frames.HELPFUL = MrTargetGroup:New('HELPFUL', true);
Those interpolate as MrTargetGroupHARMFUL and MrTargetGroupHELPFUL respectfully.
If you do get it working, please could I ask you to PR into the repository or email me a zip so I can upload it. I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it.

You're probably going to laugh at me... but im an utter github noob... i clicked your link and the only way i could upload it was to make a new fork and upload my zip. Feel free to move it, erase it, undo it... whatever you want... i have no idea!
Thank you for your response! i was able to make the errors go away... but to be honest, your code is WAY over my head. I had to change the TargetGroup:new function to make it a Button, not a Frame... that made it stop... and it appeared to work ok in a battleground.... but it's one of those "i have no idea why this works..." fixes.
When the expac finally drops, ill once again adjust it to add in any new BGs they add and reupload.
Thanks again for the response!

Hi mem5000, I completely understand, GitHub is not exactly easy for new users. Definitely, spend some time learning though, it's a super useful tool. I found your fork and merged the files in the zip with the latest version. Thank you so much for the effort! I wish I could work on this and am always sad it isn't working, so I really do appreciate it. Please check out the build and let me know if it isn't working. If you want to make updates you can just email me (hello@renevatium.com) the zip and I'll do the merge.
In reply to Renevatium:
My pleasure! I'll send you another build once the expac drops. I think i left a little debug message to myself showing the mapID... i'll be sure to remove it.
thanks for all your help!
I love Mr.Target! It provides quick stats, names, and roles for the other team. However, since the recent WoW BFA update, it no longer works in WSG or AB. It can be quite frustrating since I installed it primarily for PvP.
I've never had a problem in 40mans until I installed this - frozen in mid as soon as the battle started. Can we have a version where it's JUST a static name/spec, with no update on it's hp, casts, etc?
First, thank you for the update a while back.
Ok, now I would like to know where to report a bug.
I kept getting a message while playing WoW that I was having errors in one or more Addons, sadly MrTarget is one of them.
I have a bug catching addon, so not sure if its giving the correct way to report it. Here is what it gives me: 1x Frame MrTargetGroupHELPFUL: Unknown script element OnClick
Again I am not sure if this is the correct way.
Thanks.
