This addon displays a prominent alert when your character loses control due to crowd-control effects and spell school lockouts. It adds a modern options panel to customize size, position, sound, and which categories to show. Big new feature is it auto detects CC that isn't in the list currently. It adds a lot of CCs throughout time.
Features
- Retail-style alerts** with icon, spell name, countdown, and swipe.
- Interrupts and school locks** (e.g., Arcane/Fire/Frost lock) with school-specific text.
- Covers common CC**: Stun, Fear, Horror, Incapacitate (e.g., Gouge), Disorient, Sleep, Sap, Root, Silence, Disarm, Polymorph/Hex, Cyclone, Banish, Shackle Undead, Possess/Mind Control, Charm, Freeze, etc.
- Options panel (Ace3)** under `Interface → AddOns → LossOfControlSmart` or via `/loc`:
- Width and Height (scales the entire alert).
- X/Y offset (default Y = 75) and Lock Frame toggle for dragging.
- Sound On/Off (default Off).
- Display mode per category: `Full`, `Silence`, `Interrupt`, `Disarm`, `Root` each configurable as Off / Only Alert / Show Full Duration. All other CCs follow the `Full` setting.
- Test Alert button that shows a 10s preview for easy positioning.
- Advanced: Auto Detect CC (learns unknown CC at runtime) and Clear Learned CC.
- Saved settings** via AceDB (persist across sessions).
Usage
- Open options with `/loc` or `Esc → Interface → AddOns → LossOfControlSmart`.
- In `Frame & Sound`:
- Toggle `Lock Frame` off, click `Test Alert` (10s), drag to position, release to save, then lock again.
- Adjust width/height and X/Y to fine-tune. Sound can be toggled at any time.
- In the main section, configure what to show for `Full`, `Silence`, `Interrupt`, `Disarm`, and `Root`.
