#Automate Loading/Unloading Addons with SAM Automator

I like to turn off addons I don't need to save on memory consumption because I play on a Macbook Air when I travel. For example, you don't really need Auctionator when you're in a raid and you don't really need DBM in the city. It was annoying having to change profiles all the time depending on the situation, so Sweetsour and I made a WeakAura to automate it. I've seen people looking for similar functionality in the past so we wanted to share it with others.

Along with the Simple Addon Manager addon, this WA will automatically prompt you to change profiles and reload UI depending on if you are solo, rested, in a group, or in a raid. I made this WA with my friend @void radish and I'm posting on his behalf.

I am glad you found it useful! I've seen so many people ask and it didn't seem like a ton of work to make. @void radish did most of the work here, though. Please let us know if you have feedback or run into any issues with it. 🙂

Hey man, still loving the WA but I do have one suggestion/request - when entering an area that triggers the "load profile and reload ui" prompt, the enter button's function is blocked and forwarded to the prompt instead of your chat box, but doesn't seem to actually satisfy the "Okay" button action. Pressing enter with the prompt open triggers a reload and swaps the profile, however the prompt reappears after the reload.

I'm wondering if you guys could ideally just stop the enter button from interacting with the prompt at all, but if that can't be done, at least have the enter button actually complete the prompt so the prompt doesnt appear again after the reload.

#

One other thing I've noticed - I have an ultrawide display, and the prompt seems to appear at one of a few places on the screen, but seldom in the center

Actually I just noticed that the prompt is intercepting all keyboard inputs

Sorry for the delay in responding to this. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a good way around this. I agree it would be nice to change the functionality of the enter button for the prompt but if there is a way, I do not know how.

Well that's interesting, maybe i'll see if theres someone more experienced in this discord who can tell us if this is something that is even possible in the first place
