Instant Swap  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 1.2
by: delstrega [More]
Instant Swap makes bar swapping "instantaneous" by disabling the default bar swap animation (icon flipping).

With Instant Swap:



Without Instant Swap:




Configuration (Advanced users only, EXPERIMENTAL, OPTIONAL):
For compatibility reasons forced button updates are enabled by default but might not be necessary depending on your setup. (Forced updates add a miniscule amount of overhead)

You can try the following slash commands to disable forced updates and see if swapping still works. If icons are not updating correctly after disabling, just re-enable them.
  • /instantswap noforce - Disable forced button updates
  • /instantswap force - (Re-)Enable forced button updates
1.2: Added slash command to disable / enable force update

1.1: Added forced update to resolve an issue where icons would not update on bar swap for some people.

Not sure if it can help with that, but fingers crossed

For some reason the bar icons would not update on bar swap for some people but the latest version should resolve this issue. Can you give it a try and report back?

That is certainly weird, since all this addon does is set the "hotbarSwapAnimation" to nil. It does not interact with the action bar in any other way. Which addons are you using?
For your information: the only other addon of which I know (and which I use) is Bar Swap Feedback, which briefly displays a large digit 1 or digit 2 to signal the change, whether it is deliberate or accidental. I have not installed Instant Bar Swap, at least not yet. Why do players want to "cancel" animations?
So you got another addon which that does something totally different and have not installed this addon and want to know why people would want to use this addon? I don't think I quite understand what to make of your comment.
All I wanted to know was which addons Lulunyaa is using to help them resolve a potential conflict.
