Stealth Alert

StealthAlert

A discreet threat alert addon for Rogues (and Druids) in PvP. Warns you when nearby enemies have stealth detection abilities active — Perception, Felhunter, Catseye Elixir, or Track Hidden.

Know when it's safe to engage and when to stay hidden.

Detected Threats

Perception | Red | Human racial — Highest danger
Felhunter | Orange | Warlock pet with Paranoia aura 
Catseye Elixir | Orange | Consumable 
Track Hidden | Yellow | Hunter ability 

How It Works

StealthAlert scans every 0.3 seconds for threats on nearby enemy units :
- Target, Focus, and their targets
- Arena units (1-5) and their pets
- All visible nameplates (1-40)

When a threat is found, a small alert frame appears showing :
- The threat name with color-coded severity
- Remaining duration (for Perception and Catseye Elixir)
- An optional sound alert (with 3-second cooldown to prevent spam)

The frame automatically hides when all threats are gone.

Features

- 4 threat types detected: Perception, Felhunter, Catseye Elixir, Track Hidden
- 5 sound options : Raid Warning (loud), PvP Flag (medium), Map Ping (soft), Tell Message (soft), None (mute)
- Movable frame : drag to position, lock in place
- Config mode : shows sample threats so you can position the frame perfectly
- Options panel : standalone popup with checkboxes, sound selector, and config mode button
- Localization : English, French, German
- Minimal footprint : discreet frame, only visible when threats are active
- Closes with Escape : options panel added to `UISpecialFrames`
