SimpleSwingTimer

A minimal swing timer addon for World of Warcraft 3.3.5a (Wrath of the Lich King).

Features

• Simple and Lightweight: No complex configuration, just the essentials
• Single Swing Timer: Shows one bar for melee weapon swings
• Visual Feedback: Yellow progress bar with remaining time display
• Movable: Drag and drop positioning when unlocked
• Lock/Unlock: Prevent accidental movement during gameplay

Installation

1. Download the addon files
2. Extract to your World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/ folder
3. Create a folder named SimpleSwingTimer
4. Place all addon files in that folder
5. Restart WoW or reload your UI (/reload)

Usage

Commands

• /sst or /simpleswingtimer - Show help
• /sst lock - Lock the bar in place
• /sst unlock - Unlock the bar for moving (shows test bar)
• /sst reset - Reset bar position to default
• /sst test - Test the bar for 5 seconds
• /sst status - Show current addon status

How It Works

• The addon automatically detects when you swing your weapon
• Shows a single yellow progress bar during melee combat
• Bar persists when switching targets (only hides when leaving combat)
• Displays remaining time until next swing

Positioning

1. Type /sst unlock to enable movement (bar will appear for positioning)
2. Click and drag the bar to your desired position
3. Type /sst lock to prevent accidental movement (test bar will hide)

Requirements

• World of Warcraft 3.3.5a (WotLK)
• No additional libraries required

Customization

The addon uses default WoW textures and colors. If you want to modify colors or sizes, you can edit the settings table in the main file.

Troubleshooting

• Bar not showing: Make sure you're in combat and swinging weapons
• Can't move bar: Use /sst unlock first
• Addon not loading: Check that the folder structure is correct
