StealthAlert

A discreet threat alert addon for Rogues (and Druids) in PvP. Warns you when nearby enemies have stealth detection abilities active — Perception, Felhunter, Catseye Elixir, or Track Hidden.

Know when it's safe to engage and when to stay hidden.

Detected Threats

How It Works

StealthAlert scans every 0.3 seconds for threats on nearby enemy units :
- Target, Focus, and their targets
- Arena units (1-5) and their pets
- All visible nameplates (1-40)

When a threat is found, a small alert frame appears showing :
- The threat name with color-coded severity
- Remaining duration (for Perception and Catseye Elixir)
- An optional sound alert (with 3-second cooldown to prevent spam)

The frame automatically hides when all threats are gone.

Features

- 4 threat types detected: Perception, Felhunter, Catseye Elixir, Track Hidden
- 5 sound options : Raid Warning (loud), PvP Flag (medium), Map Ping (soft), Tell Message (soft), None (mute)
- Movable frame : drag to position, lock in place
- Config mode : shows sample threats so you can position the frame perfectly
- Options panel : standalone popup with checkboxes, sound selector, and config mode button
- Localization : English, French, German
- Minimal footprint : discreet frame, only visible when threats are active
- Closes with Escape : options panel added to `UISpecialFrames`
