HealGrid is an addon which provides a "grid like" layout of the units in your party, warband and scenario. It's aim is to provide you with an easy way to quickly recognize the overall health state of the unit, together with the particular unit health for easy reaction - e.g. by healing, assisting or "pulling off".
Depending on the health of the unit, the boxes will change color. Starting with green when the unit is at full health, the color gradually changes to yellow for wounded units and red for really hurt units. This enables at a glance to judge the health of any given player.
The border of the boxes will be colored depending on the range of the unit. Colors are:
| black | range not known |
|---|---|
| green | unit in range or was in range at least 5 seconds ago |
| pale green | unit was in range at least 10 seconds ago and still might be in range |
| red | unit out of range or was out of range at least 5 seconds ago |
| pale red | unit was out of range at least 10 seconds ago and still might be out of range |
Why all these different colors? The problem is that the WAR API does not provide us with range information, so we have to use legal tricks and workarounds to calculate this. This is not always possible though, and that's why we have the different colors.
Thanx to all the addon authors out there, who put their effort into developing addons for the general public and make them publicly available. A special thanx to Aiiane for all the hard work in digging up all the API internals and providing this knowledge with us.
