The Raid Consumable Checker interface is designed for quick visibility and easy interaction during raids.

​
Window structure

The main window consists of several key components:

​
Title bar

The title bar displays “Raid Consumable Checker” in gold text on a dark gray background. Interactive features:
  • Drag to move: Click and hold the title bar to reposition the window anywhere on screen
  • Auto-save position: When you release the drag, the window position is saved automatically
The window is clamped to screen, meaning you can’t accidentally drag it off-screen.

​
Control buttons

Two buttons are located in the top-right corner:
Opens the configuration panel where you can:
  • Add new consumables and buff trackers
  • Edit existing items
  • Organize categories
  • Adjust required quantities
The Config button is positioned to the left of the Close button.
Closes the main window. The standard UI panel close button.You can also close the window by:
  • Using any slash command (/rcc, /raidcheck, /consumables)
  • Pressing Escape (if the window has focus)

​
Content area

The content area displays your consumables and buffs organized by category.

​
Item icon interactions

Each consumable or buff is represented by an icon with several interactive features:

​
Hover tooltips

When you hover over any item icon, a tooltip appears showing:
  • Item name: The consumable or buff name
  • Required count: How many you need (for consumables)
  • Buff status: Whether the buff is active (green) or inactive (red)
  • Description: What the item does
  • Click hint: “Click to use” for usable consumables
For weapon enchants like Wizard Oil, the tooltip shows “Weapon enchant” status instead of a buff name.

​
Click to use

For consumables with buff tracking (like flasks, elixirs, and food): Left-click on an item icon to use it directly from your bags. Smart usage protection:
  • If the buff is already active, a confirmation dialog appears: 
    You already have the buff '[Buff Name]'. Do you want to use another [Item Name]?
  • Click Yes to use another consumable anyway
  • Click No or Escape to cancel
Items without buffs (like health/mana potions) and buff-only entries (like Thorns) cannot be clicked.

​
Visual feedback

After clicking an item:
  1. The item count updates immediately
  2. A brief delay (0.2 seconds) occurs before buff status updates
  3. The border color and timer update to reflect the new buff status

​
Category headers

Categories are displayed with decorative dashes and gold text: 
--------------------- Flasks / Oil / Food ---------------------
------------------------ Main Elixirs -------------------------
--------------------------- Potions ---------------------------
Categories automatically adjust based on your configuration and only appear if they contain items.

​
Window dimensions

The window size adjusts automatically based on:
  • Width: Determined by the category with the most items
  • Height: Calculated based on the number of categories
  • Minimum width: 400 pixels to ensure readability
You don’t need to manually resize the window. It recalculates dimensions when you add or remove items through the Config panel.

​
Real-time updates

The interface updates automatically when:
  • Bags change: Item counts refresh when you loot, buy, or use items
  • Buffs change: Border colors and timers update every 2 seconds while the window is open
  • Items used: Clicking an item triggers immediate inventory and delayed buff updates

​
Performance optimization

When window is open

  • Bag updates trigger on BAG_UPDATE events
  • Buff scans run every 2.0 seconds
  • Full UI refresh on show

When window is closed

  • No bag monitoring
  • No buff scanning
  • Zero performance overhead
This ensures the addon doesn’t impact game performance when you’re not actively using it.
