This addon does not work with World of Warcraft Classic.

old-god-whispers-wow-addon's Issues

Random mode lingers

Describe the bug

Please provide a clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Random mode lingers after it has been turned off.

Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

Turn it on, let it be on for a bit, and then turn it off. Sounds will still play for a while afterwards.

Additional Comments

Add any other context about the problem here.

There needs to be a check before the actual call to PlaySounds that ensures either a click event occurred, or if random is toggled on. Right now it will execute regardless, only the new timeout won’t be triggered. This is what causes the lingering effect.

Sometimes 2 voice lines play back to back

I have random on and have it set to only 1 Old God Whisper (c'thun) and it will sometimes play 2 voice lines back to back.

Push to CurseForge

Sounds like some people would like to see the addon on CurseForge. I've started the process of uploading it there, once done I'll add a badge to the README.
