SoftTargetingSettings

Soft Targeting Settings puts all of World of Warcraft's soft targeting settings into the game's own Options panel, under Options → AddOns → Soft Targeting.

Soft targeting lets the game pick a target for you automatically: the enemy you're facing, a friendly player you want to heal, or the NPC or object in front of you for the Interact key. Blizzard's options only offer a couple of on/off checkboxes. The settings that decide how it actually behaves can only be changed with /console commands. This addon gives each of them a proper dropdown, slider or checkbox, with a tooltip explaining it.

What you can configure

Enemy Units, Friendly Units and NPCs & Objects, one page for each of the three soft targets the game keeps:

• Mode: off, gamepad only, keyboard & mouse only, or always. For example, turn on friendly soft targeting for keyboard play only, so heals land on the player in front of you without clicking them.
• Arc: only targets directly in front of you, anything in a front arc, or anywhere in range.
• Range: how far away (in yards) a soft target can be.
• Nameplate, icon and tooltip: whether the soft target always shows its nameplate, gets a marker icon, and pops up a tooltip.

Locked Target:

• Automatically make the soft target your real target, for enemies or for friends.
• Have the soft target follow the target you've locked, or keep soft targeting active while you have a target.
• Show the soft-target tooltip for your locked target as well.

Display:

• The size of the soft target icon on nameplates, how long its tooltip stays up, and the size and scaling distances of the world text above it.

Interact Key (on the NPCs & Objects page):

• A hard range cutoff for the Interact key.
• Icons on interactable objects such as herbs, chests and mailboxes.
• Low-priority icons, and the interact key sound.

Details

• Uses Blizzard's own Settings API. It doesn't add a separate window, slash commands or libraries, and changes take effect immediately.
• Settings that are protected in combat are greyed out while you're fighting.
• Doesn't break your action bars. The settings are registered so that Blizzard's UI isn't tainted.
• Works in retail and in World of Warcraft: Forever. It also loads in the Classic clients (untested), where any setting a client doesn't support is simply left out.
