RangeDisplay

Version: v6.1.0

by: mitch0 [More]

Description:

RangeDisplay is a simple range display addon. It is using spell range, item range and interact-distance based checks to determine the approximate range to your current target, pet, focus or mouseover unit (if enabled). The mouseover unit display can be anchored to mouse, or placed at a fixed position. As of v3.4.1 interact-distance based checks are only used if the other two are unavaliable due to the strange way interact-distance checks work causing strange results with some mobs.

RangeDisplay is a front-end to LibRangeCheck-2.0, a library addon to
calculate the range estimates. DogTag also supports LibRangeCheck via
the [Range] tag, thus you can get range display in addons using DogTag
to build texts, like PitBull (unit frames) and CowTip (tooltip).

Note: RangeDisplay can only check for some specific distances, thus determining
a minimum and maximum range to the target. Some of these ranges are rather
large, so the range update may be slow, as it takes time to cover a bigger
distance. Unfortunately there is no way (that I know of) of providing higher
resolution for range estimates.

Options:

/rangedisplay locked
Toggle the locked state of RangeDisplay frame.
While unlocked, you can drag it to a position you like with the left mouse button and open its config menu by right-clicking on the frame.
While it is locked, you can click-thru the display.

/rangedisplay
Open the config GUI.

Install instructions:

NOTES:

After installing, RangeDisplay will be enabled by default, and unlocked, so you'll see a semi-transparent rectangle in the center of your UI that you can drag to a position you like. After finding a good place for it you should lock the frame with /rangedisplay locked, so that it won't eat your mouse clicks (note: the enemyOnly option only works in locked mode, too).

Hi,

You'll need to copy the saved variables from under the wtf/config folder. I think it's called RangeDisplay.lua, too, but I can't check now.

cheers,

Thank you!

Hello,

You'll probably need the newest version currently available from curse. The newest versions of my addons first appear on curse as my repositories are on wowace and the release versions are automatically uploaded to curse.com. I usually update stuff here after a brief "stability period". I'll probably update the MoP versions here in a day or two.

cheers,
mitch

I can completely appreciate ease of use, and I *also* appreciate the fact that you do update here - this site gets along better with my Linux box than Curse does. If I get impatient I'll grab it from there, thank you very much!

Re: Loving it!

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like it

Unfortunately this addon only works with units, so it won't work with objects. You might use the mouseover display to keep a tab on nearby mobs when looting chests, etc though.

cheers,
mitch

Is it possible to get distance to objects? As in, I'm trying to loot that chest and I don't want to be too near cause of the mob, finding the distance is difficult.

I can see it might not be possible at all, but I, at least, would find it useful. (I think...)

Re: mitch ... all my frames ARE locked

Hello,

This frame is not part of RangeDisplay (at least I don't remember adding anything like this

try typing /framestack and mouseover the offending frame. maybe its name gives a hint as to what addon creates it.

cheers,
mitch

My range display frames are locked, but this frame remains on the screen When I try to move it it attaches to my mouse and will not let go, resulting in me having to terminate wow and restart.

is this part of Range Display?

Re: Why is there

Hi,

Make sure you lock the frames (by typing /rangedisplay locked, for example, or ctrl-clicking the frame)

cheers,

Why can't I turn it off?

Please?
For now, I've reverted to the older version.

Re: Re: Re: Re: minor bug

I lolled! Its so simple yet hard to understand that I couldn't even think of that when I was mucking around "what that hand could mean when the addon is unlocked".

Thanks!

*BTW Best ever range addon cant live without it at all, not when questing, pvping or in raids! :*** *

Hello,

When you unlock the rangedisplay frames (/rangedisplay locked, or by clicking the LDB icon), there'll be a semi-transparent green hand icon in the middle of the screen. Position the mouseover unit's frame relative to that icon (as if it were your real mouse pointer) by dragging the frame, then lock the frames. Also make sure that the "Anchor to mouse" option is set for the mouseover unit (in the configuration window).

cheers,
mitch
