Healing someone cancels autoattack.

[Manuferz]

Hi! I was used to the old healbot and replaced it with your new addon. Nice work on this project, its very well made and promising! One thing i liked about those addons, is that you can be attacking the ennemy while doing your heals. For some reason, if im targeting an ennemy and attacking, when using a heal spell, it will cancel my auto attack. Any way to change this?
see image 1 and 2, im targeting an ennemy, and after casting renew on myself, for some reason, the attack is turned off.

This is caused by the method used by HealersMate to cast on other targets. Vanilla WoW doesn't have a way to directly cast spells on someone. When you cast a spell, HealersMate will target that player for a split second, cast the spell, and then target the last target you had, causing auto attack to be cancelled. I'm not entirely sure why Healbot doesn't have this issue, but it does handle spell casting different, requiring users to disable auto self cast where HealersMate does not. I think some unit frame addons have figured out how to automatically reattack targets, so I'll probably look into it in the future.

If you need an immediate solution, installing the SuperWoW mod allows HealersMate to cast on players without switching targets, effectively fixing this issue.

Just throw superwowhook.dll into the main folder and Vanillafixes loader will pick it up and load.

thanks for your feedback! Its working with Superwow enabled but for some other reasons now when I see heals, the name of the caster is corrupted.

You also need to use this addon with it: https://github.com/balakethelock/SuperAPI
