[Suggestion] Unit expiration timer

[WaterKnight]

This refers to the unit timed life bar applied to to temporary summons or when using the jass native native UnitApplyTimedLife takes unit whichUnit, integer buffId, real duration returns nothing.

• add an option to pause/resume it.
• add an option to abort it without the unit dying
• add an option to change the color
• add an option to change the label
• add an option to display the current value onMouseHover
• basically allow us to have custom bars

Pausing and resuming timed life is already possible, we have UnitPauseTimedLife for that. Removing it without killing the unit is also possible, check [post=2790363]here[/post] (though it would be nice if Blizzard gave us a way to do that without relying on Phoenix).

Btw, this has been already suggested in the wish list.

Okay.

I have partaken in the discussion as well but that's not much of a viable practice. Morphing and killing (semi-killing) units comes with a number of issues.

Btw, this has been already suggested in the wish list.

I have checked the sticky (first post), not seen or found it and the entries there are not verbose. Even if it is documented, I think it's better to have modulary threads, so the details can be shared, progress and motivation. I suggested this forum as an interface to speak to Blizzard, so we have to kinda explain things for them to understand, too.

Nice suggestions. I don't think you necessarily have to cross out the first one--being able to do it without phoenix would be nice.

It would definitely be awesome to have custom bars.

I took the liberty to shorten your request to what you you are actually asking for.

Well those above the head would also be nice.
