QuickAssist: My First WoW Forever Addon

Follow your tank's target with one keypress, no macro editing required.

QuickAssist is my first WoW addon, and it fixes a small annoyance: every time the tank or raid leader changed, my /assist macro was wrong.

How it works

Two keybinds:

• Set Player to Assist: target a friendly player and press the key. Press it with no target to clear your choice.
• Assist Learned Player: targets whatever your chosen player is targeting.

Changes made in combat are queued until combat ends. Type /quickassist (or /qa) to jump straight to the Key Bindings panel, and you'll get a reminder at login until both keys are set.

QuickAssist is a fork of SimpleAssist 4.01 by Schnoggo, released under CC BY-NC 3.0. Thanks to Schnoggo for the original idea and code. What I changed:

• Rewrote it to work with the newer WoW API on WoW Forever without errors.
• Players who share a primary name are told apart using their primary and secondary names.
• Added the login reminder and the slash commands that open the Key Bindings panel.
• Gave the keys their own QuickAssist section in Key Bindings.
• Assigned a new font with larger, easier-to-read messages when setting or clearing an assist.
• Stopped players from setting themselves as the player to assist.
• Removed the Request Assistance feature and its settings panel.

Tested on WoW Forever only. Bugs and ideas are welcome on GitHub.
