Constants Reference - Raid Consumable Checker

Overview

All customizable constants are defined in RaidConsumableChecker_Constants.lua. These values control UI appearance, timers, colors, fonts, and default behavior.

Modifying constants requires editing the Lua file directly. Always back up the original file before making changes.

RaidConsumableCheckerDB = {
  position = {
    point = "CENTER",
    x = 0,
    y = 0
  },
  ConsumableData = {
    Items = { ... },
    Categories = { ... }

}

Location: WTF/Account/[AccountName]/SavedVariables/RaidConsumableChecker.luaFields:

Performance Tuning

These constants allow you to balance visual responsiveness with CPU usage.

Recommended Settings

High Performance:

RCC_Constants.BUFF_SCAN_INTERVAL = 1.0  -- More responsive

Low Performance:

RCC_Constants.BUFF_SCAN_INTERVAL = 5.0  -- Lower CPU usage

Instant Item Use Feedback:

RCC_Constants.BUFF_UPDATE_DELAY_AFTER_USE = 0.1  -- Faster update

Setting BUFF_SCAN_INTERVAL below 1.0 second may cause performance issues on older systems.
