🛡️ ProtWarning (Low Health Alarm for WoW 1.12.1 / Turtle WoW)

ProtWarning is a lightweight, stable AddOn for the World of Warcraft 1.12.1 client (Interface: 11200) that displays a prominent, temporary warning message when the player's health drops below a critical threshold while in combat.

✨ Features

• Stable Polling: Uses the reliable OnUpdate polling method to overcome event instability in the 1.12.1 client.
• Clear Alert: Displays a large, red "LOW HEALTH WARNING!" message.
• Timed Display: Message disappears automatically after 3.0 seconds.
• Performance Friendly: Only actively checks health while the player is in combat.

💾 Installation

1. Download the latest release zip file.
2. Unzip the file.
3. Place the ProtWarning folder into your WoW AddOns directory: [WoW Directory]/Interface/AddOns/
4. Reload your UI (/reload) or restart the game.

⚙️ Configuration (Code)

The core threshold is currently set to 45% in ProtWarning.lua.

🧪 Testing

To manually test the warning message without losing health, use the following macro in-game:

/run LowHealthWarning_Toggle()
