Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Decided to play around with addon making and to do something that would show healing numbers above people's heads. Took someone's suggestion to show it above a unit's nameplate, so it is limited by their visibility and range.
despite all that there is still anther problem I'm facing. I'm also seeing other people's heals.

Is there anyone interested in taking a look on my code and help out?

here's a snapshot of what it currently looks like

hullo! first off — this is really neat.

I've just rewritten it a little to track player casts via the combat log, and fillet out the information needed via interpretation of the string:

any chance i can roll this into modui with a credit for the code + idea? i really like it

Absolutely, feel free to use and improve it as you like just let me know if add any additional improvements

Do you have to have the nameplates enabled to see this graphic? This reminds me of Wotlk where heals could be shown over the players.

yes, you need to have the friendly nameplates enabled however if people don't like seeing those there's a way around it to just render the friendly nameplates with full transparency so you don't see them. of course this addon will still be limited by the nameplates render range
