InterruptReminder is an add-on that highlights your class' spells capable of interrupting a target's cast or channel, as long as they are present in the action bars.

Useful for newer players learning the game, casual players who want a simple reminder to interrupt, or those like me who simply forget to cast their interrupts.

Demonstration

 Features

  • Highlights any spells capable of interrupting a target's cast whenever the spell is off cooldown and the cast is interruptible.
  • Custom algorithm implementation to find spells that are capable of causing a Crowd Control effect and which targets can be affected by said spells.
  • Select individual spells that the user would like to see highlighted.
  • Customize your highlight in the color scheme you desire out of 4 styles (3 for Cataclysm).
  • Support for Classic Cataclysm (New!).
  • Audible sound cue to let the user know that the target is casting (New!).

 Known Issues

  • Spells capable of interrupting might be missing as I could not find a list of comprehensive list of all spells that can interrupt. Please let me know if I am missing any and I will add them to the list.
  • Due to a lack of a built-in "Is stunnable" flag for units, have to make a guess with the information available whether the target can be affected by Crowd Control spells. Not everything that is marked stunnable by the mod is actually stunnable.
  • Proc style highlight has a black texture snapping in and out when the texture is rendered for the first time

Known Conflicts

  • Currently, only ElvUI is supported (barely). Other action-bar altering add-ons are not yet supported.

What was not Tested

  • Player vs. Player. I do not participate in the PvP scene at all, so I have no clue how the add-on will act in the Battlegrounds.
