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).

Re: Re: Re: minor bug

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

Using Tinytip tooltip addon (maybe its important info, not sure).

My mouseover target's range is way over the mouse! I've tried to change it somehow, was looking for some anchor distance, but couldn't find anything. Also tried to change some tooltip related options on mouseover but nothing influencing mouseover target range "anchor" distance from mouse.

Please give some help or if its a bug fix. Thanks! :*

minor bug: the frame doesn't properly hide when you don't have a target. If I create a kgpanel and parent it to the frame, the panel will remain even when I drop target and the frame disappears (due to bg autohide option enabled). The same panel will disappear correctly when parented to other addons' target-based frames.

You should anchor to "RangeDisplayFrame_" .. unit, not "RangeDisplayMainFrame_" .. unit (the main frame is not hidden because some folks like to keep the background with the border etc even when no range is displayed (see the Auto Hide option among the background options).

and feature requests:
- ability to increment/decrement sliders by 1, by hovering over them and rolling the mousewheel...currently I can only increment/decrement by 2, by
dragging the slider handle

Can't do much about it, I use AceConfig for the configuration stuff and don't have much to say on how it renders the controls for my options. You can set exact values in the "text" area of the slider though. Also, try clicking on the slider first then use the mouse-wheel, I found this among the changelogs:

Ace3 - AceGUI: The Slider widget will only react to the mousewheel after it has been clicked (anywhere including the label) to prevent accidental changes to the value when trying to scroll the container it is in

- add a border inset slider

The border insets are derived from the Border Thickness parameter, see if changed that suits your needs.

Hello,

There are several addons out there that create minimap buttons for LDB objects, one example is Barrel, give it a try.

Erm, it does have LDB support, although only for quick-launch functionality (to lock/unlock the frames or bring up the config dialog).

Do you mean a data-feed like functionality so that the range could be displayed in an LDB display addon? What exactly would be the benefit? (it would definitely add some overhead in terms of CPU usage).

cheers,

Re: Re: Could not move the display

Should be OK in r45455 (although the problem is still in that other addon that hooks us incorrectly...)

Hi,

That error is most probably caused by some other addon incorrectly hooking RangeDisplay's OnMouseDown script (not passing the parameters). I'll add some checks to give a better error in this case to users, and try to "unhook" OnMouseDown, but the fix should be in the misbehaving addon really.

In the meantime, you could try disabling most of your addons, configure RangeDisplay, then turn your addons back again (this script is only used when moving the frame, once you put it to a good place, this won't get called).

cheers,

without any other addons loaded it seems to work fine. I have too many addons to sort out which is causing the conflict :P So I will stick to manual editing the pref file for now. if I get time in the future I will try to sort it out. Thanks for the help, great addon.

Hi,

I think I found the issue, the workaround should be in r43074. (The problem is caused by some other addon badly hooking our script, and not passing the button parameter)
