# Summon Queue Assist (SQA)
**Summon Queue Assist (SQA)** is a lightweight summon queue manager for Warlocks and their groups in World of Warcraft Classic Era.
It takes the simple **`123` summon request** and turns it into an organised queue, helping manage the complete Ritual of Summoning process from request through to arrival.
## Features
### 🧙 Summon Queue
- Players request a summon with the simple **`123`** trigger.
- Requests are added to a clear, manageable queue.
- Queued players are processed in order.
- Players are automatically removed when their arrival is detected.
### 🔮 Ritual of Summoning
- Coordinates the clickers required for the ritual.
- Sends clicker requests through the appropriate group channel.
- Handles summon acceptance detection.
- Provides a dedicated SUMMON action for the selected queued player.
### 📡 Party & Raid Support
- Automatically detects whether the group is a **Party** or **Raid**.
- Uses the appropriate group communication channel automatically.
### 💬 Message Customisation
SQA uses five message categories:
- **Openings**
- **Middles**
- **Endings**
- **Clickers**
- **Arrivals**
The core addon contains five built-in messages in each category, providing **3,125 possible combinations** while keeping SQA fully functional as a standalone addon.
For users who want a larger or personalised message library, the optional **SQA Data** companion addon provides extended message data and nickname mappings.
### 👤 Nicknames
SQA Data can provide custom player nicknames without modifying the core addon.
This keeps personal data and customisation separate from the main addon, so future SQA updates will not overwrite those changes.
## SQA Data
**SQA Data is optional.**
SQA works perfectly by itself using its built-in fallback messages.
When SQA Data is installed, its custom message and nickname data takes precedence over the built-in defaults.
This means:
**SQA only** → built-in fallback data
**SQA + SQA Data** → custom/extended data
The two addons can therefore be updated independently.
## Installation
Install **Summon Queue Assist (SQA)** into your WoW Classic Era `Interface/AddOns` folder.
SQA Data is optional and can be installed alongside it if you want the extended/custom message and nickname data.
## Designed for Classic Era
SQA is designed specifically around the summon workflow used by Warlocks and their groups in **World of Warcraft Classic Era**.
