TrinketMenu Plus

Requires: TrinketMenu · WoW: 12.0.5 (Midnight) · Author: Nelnamara

TrinketMenu Plus adds two fully configurable spell/macro action boxes alongside the TrinketMenu bar, plus a built-in aim-assist overlay for ground-targeted spells (e.g. Force of Nature, Starfall, Rain of Fire). Both boxes use SecureActionButtonTemplate exclusively and are fully combat-safe — no taint, no blocked actions.


Features

  • Two independent spell/macro boxes (Box A and Box B) docked to TrinketMenu
  • Four cast modes per box — @cursor@player@target, or raw macro
  • Aim-assist overlay — when a box is in @cursor mode with a hostile target in range, a glow ring appears near the target's feet to show where the spell will land
  • Three-click scheme with no taint:
    • Left-click — cast using the configured mode
    • Right-click — instant @target cast (bypasses aim, fires immediately)
    • Ctrl+Right-click — opens the spellbook/macro picker for that box
  • Spellbook picker popup — browse and assign any known, castable, non-passive spell without typing
  • Cooldown overlay on each box
  • Minimap button (supports LibDBIcon-1.0 if present, falls back to a hand-rolled button)
  • Config panel — adjust box size, scale, glow color, aim feet-offset
  • Dock to any side of TrinketMenu (left / right / top / bottom)
  • Lock/unlock to prevent accidental dragging

Requirements

Dependency Required Notes
TrinketMenu Core bar this addon attaches to
LibDBIcon-1.0 Optional — minimap button integrates with MBB, Bazooka, etc. if present

Installation

  1. Download the latest release zip
  2. Extract to World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\
    • The folder should be named TrinketMenuPlus
    • It should contain TrinketMenuPlus.lua and TrinketMenuPlus.toc
  3. Make sure TrinketMenu is also installed and enabled
  4. Log in — the two boxes will appear attached to the TrinketMenu bar

No configuration is needed to get started. The boxes are empty by default. Use /tmp a spell "Spell Name" or Ctrl+Right-click a box to assign spells.


Usage

Assigning Spells

The easiest way is to Ctrl+Right-click any box — a spellbook popup opens and you can click any spell to assign it to that box.

Alternatively, use slash commands:

/tmp a spell "Force of Nature"
/tmp b spell "Starsurge"
 

Slash Commands

All commands start with /tmp.

Command Description
/tmp a spell "Name" Assign a spell to Box A
/tmp b spell "Name" Assign a spell to Box B
/tmp a item "Name" Assign an item to Box A
/tmp a macro "/cast ..." Assign a raw macro to Box A
/tmp a mode cursor Set cast mode (cursor / player / target / macro)
/tmp a clear Clear Box A
/tmp a config Open the spellbook picker for Box A
/tmp dock right Dock to right side of TrinketMenu (left / right / top / bottom)
/tmp config Open the config panel
/tmp lock Lock position (disables dragging)
/tmp unlock Unlock position
/tmp status Print current configuration and aim-assist debug info

 

Cast Modes

Mode What it does
cursor Casts at your mouse cursor position in the world (@cursor)
player Casts centered on your character (@player)
target Casts on your current target (@target)
macro Fires a raw macro you provide via /tmp a macro "..."

Aim Assist

When a box is in cursor mode and all conditions are met, a pulsing glow ring appears near your target's feet to show exactly where a @cursor cast will land:

  • Shows when: cursor mode · spell assigned · hostile target in range · spell ready · not channeling
  • Glow ring tracks the target's nameplate position in real time
  • Left-click the icon to cast at cursor; the ring shows where your cursor needs to be
  • Right-click the icon for an instant @target cast if you don't want to aim

Combat note: Due to Midnight (12.0.5) secure frame restrictions, the clickable button freezes at its last position when you enter combat. The visual glow ring continues tracking the target freely. The button snaps back to the correct position immediately when combat ends.

Config Panel

Open with /tmp config or click the minimap button.

  • Box Size — pixel width/height of each box
  • Scale — overall scale multiplier
  • Glow Color — RGB sliders for the aim-assist ring color
  • Feet Offset — vertical offset in pixels for the aim ring (tune to your screen resolution / camera angle)

Known Issues

Issue Status
Aim button does not track target during combat By design — Midnight secure frame restriction. Visual ring still tracks; button re-syncs on combat end.
Spellbook picker may show some spells without icons briefly on first open Cosmetic only; icons load on the second open or after a /reload
Right-click fires @target even when target is out of range No range check on the secure macro — WoW will show a "out of range" error as normal
TrinketMenu itself must be visible for the dock position to calculate correctly Log out and back in if boxes appear at 0,0 on first install

Changelog

v0.3.0

  • Full architecture rewrite — boxes now use SecureActionButtonTemplate exclusively (removed ActionButtonTemplate which was overriding OnClick and breaking macro execution)
  • Aim assist: replaced direct secure-frame repositioning with a mover-proxy pattern
  • Midnight (12.0.5) fix: Decoupled aim button from mover anchor chain — in Midnight, frames referenced by a secure frame's anchors become implicitly protected, causing ClearAllPoints to trigger ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED. Aim button now syncs position via GetCenter() → UIParent absolute coords, bypassing the anchor chain entirely
  • Added PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED handler to re-sync aim button position immediately on combat exit
  • Cooldown overlay wrapped in anonymous-function pcall to avoid touching secret fields outside a closure
  • Spellbook picker popup: tabs for Spells and Macros
  • Config panel: size, scale, color, backdrop, feet-offset
  • LibDBIcon-1.0 support for minimap button

v0.1.0

  • Initial release
  • Two configurable boxes docked to TrinketMenu
  • Basic spell/macro assignment via slash commands
  • Aim assist overlay for @cursor spells
  • Left / right-click bindings
