TargetUnit question

Hello,

I started writing Addons for my guild in Classic. Mainly to keep track of stuff, including world boss kills and respawn windows and possibly integrating other things like calendars etc.

I spend countless hours scouting WB and wanted to find a way to alert me on the screen when a WB spawns in front of me. I noticed nothing in the API allowed to do that as the TargetUnit was Protected.

I did find a way to know if the WB was in range using TargetUnit eventhough the WB was never actually targeted. Before I continue to use this, I wanted to make sure I am not doing anything illegal or unappreciated in Blizzard’s eyes.

If you could let me know if I can continue down this path. I stress the fact that I am not using this to do any type of automatic actions and will never want to do that, only notification of a boss being up for me and my guild.

Sincerely

Why would you even worry about this? If the API lets you do it, then it’s fine.

Furthermore, the functionality you describe is not even novel or unique. There are a million other addons that already do these things. So this entire post is just silly.
