Treat black ox statue as an offtank

Is it possible to have a 3rd color for mobs targeting the black ox statue? It would be really beneficial to be able to tell at a glance if a mob is targeting the tank (good), the statue (still good) or a party member (not good).

I appreciate it may be beyond the scope of this project, but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I can definitely make this be part of the offtank coloring that already exists quite easily. Adding a new color for it is also doable, but seems unnecessary since the offtank coloring already exists, unless I am missing a scenario where this is something that would be useful.

The only thing that might not be doable is to check if it is targeting your black ox statue specifically. I could do something like check if you have a statue active and then see if the mobs are targeting a unit named black ox statue. But there is nothing, as far as I can tell, that acts like the pet UnitId where by it is specifically your pet.

Edit: Thinking about it a bit more, I think I would actually have to check if you have a statue active to get the localized name of it.

Yes, the existing offtank coloring would be great. I can't envision a scenario where it would be crucial to have a separate color for it - as long as it's easy to tell that the newly pulled adds are not attacking healers/dps I'll be happy.

I've added a new release with this addition in it. It can be found here or here

Thank you SO much for that. I've been in the same situation as villiansv and secretly wished something would be done about it. You're killing it, Luxo !

Managed to test it just now - seems to work like a charm. Many thanks!

I made a change to how it gets the name of the "Black Ox Statue" so it should now work for all classes and other monks statues as well.
