I have next to no experience creating or editing addons (outside of googling fixes for random lua errors), but I’d like to create what I think would be a simple addon. I’ve spent the past couple days looking at various sites (gamepedia, here, curse, etc), but I’m not sure where to start, so I’m asking here.
Broad strokes, every time I do damage (or heal), it takes the damage/heal amount and spell name and compares it with the value it had previously stored. If the new value is higher, it stores that, and displays some “new high damage/heal” message. Additionally, there would be some way to see each spell’s “high damage/heal” - either via spell tooltip or via some sort of window.
How difficult do you think such an addon would be?
Background: In Vanilla, I used an addon called “TopScoreFu” which did exactly what I’m looking for. I then switched to a similar one called “Critline” (which does have a BfA equivalent, the author of which updated it about two months ago - and I’ve reached out to them to see if they plan on doing a Classic version - EDIT: They have responded that they don’t have a current sub and so no plans to update at the present time).
UPDATE: Worked with the addon dev and we’ve got it (mostly) working, now.
