Very nice idea

I feel left out as a druid though One more spell you can use for a druid:

Soothe Animal: 40 yds (http://www.thottbot.com/beta?sp=26995)

When my fireball with flamethrowing 2/2 comes within range, the meter jumps from Oor straight to 26 yards when there should be a 41 yard marker. Glad to see this mod updated! Keep up the good work Dan (Mahiro?). =)

Additional priest spells

There are talents that increase the range of Smite/Holy Fire, Mind Flay and Shadow Word: Pain. Are those accounted for?

*PRIEST
** 40yard FRIEND
Flash Heal, Greater Heal, Heal, Lesser Heal, Power Word:Shield, Renew
Circle of Healing (talent spell), Prayer of Fortitude, Prayer of Spirit and Prayer of Shadow Protection also have a 40 yard range.

**PRIEST
** 30yard FRIEND
Abolish Disease, Cure Disease, Dispell Magic, Divine Spirit, Power Word: Fortitude, Shadow Protection
Fear Ward (racial spell for Dwarf and Draenai) also has a 30 yard range.

Re: Additional priest spells

@ Carpone: the talents for range increase are included (Holy Reach and Shadow Reach), so the ranges should change when you skill the talents.
thx for those spells, i hdont have them in the list.

@zeusjuice:hmm not sure where the problem is, have there been some changes to spellnames or textures or so? eventually i can check the spells now by name which would be much easier..... try to place the spells over 26y in an other slot of your action bar, i had some problems with dab that some checks failed in some slots, so maybe its the same with original/or other action bars.

Hunters: Scare Beast 10yds, tame beast 30 yds

Of course it only works on beasts.

Also, I would like a much simpler interface since, as a hunter, I really only care about four stages: out of range (in red), in range (green), dead zone (yellow) and melee (blue). If I could get a box that changed colors based on those four criteria and the distance number in it (to help me with scare beast, scatter shot and tame) it would be perfect for me!

I just started using this mod.

As a priest, when I have a hostile unit targeted, I'm seeing range thresholds at 40, 30, 25 and 10. Mind Soothe has a range of 40. Mind Blast, Smite, Holy Fire, Dispel Magic, Mana Burn, Shackle Undead and Shadow Word: Pain have a range of 30. Mind Control has a range of 20. Where is the 25 coming from? Why am I not seeing 20? I do not have any talents that modify the range of my spells.

Also, when using a horizontal bar, the range indicator is jumping around instead of staying in one position:

http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/1179/distancefriendly10dk9.jpg: Friendly Distance 10
http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/1859/distancefriendly25ds5.jpg: Friendly Distance 25
http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/1188/distancefriendly30lt7.jpg: Friendly Distance 30
http://img377.imageshack.us/img377/4770/distancefriendly40ix7.jpg: Friendly Distance 40

To be honest, I find the way the information is displayed to be very confusing and distracting. Multiple colors on the bar at the same time don't make sense to me. Just show one color at a time and make it obvious which range is attached to which color. If you took this approach with a single color, I think it's more intuitive to display the distance as a circle. Check out C'Thun Warner and how it uses a color to denote a player's distance from all other players in the raid. That is very easy to process: http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2526

For the range text, I think it would be much more intuitive to display the min and max approximate range. For example, if I'm at 32 yards from a target, "30-40" would be displayed. Having an option to toggle the range text on/off would be welcome.

Is there a way to turn off the border? I tried removing "Border" from the Border texture, but that didn't work. Selecting "color" doesn't seem to do anything.

If you are looking to provide different bar textures, check out http://www.wowace.com/files/Surfaces/

@Lindalas: there is an addon named range checker or so which does exactly what you describe;D

@Carpone: i have no priest so i needed others to test those things for me, and now that you point that out i think i made a mistake in the code with some spells and the talents to change the spellranges. i will chekc that tomorrow and see what i can do.
you dont have any points in the range increasing talents?

at this time im not really happy with the functionality of the bar and how i put the code together, but it was my first addon and i basicly learned with it how to make a simple addon. but since i started (when i had alomost no knowledge of coding) i have learned a lot and when i look at the code i dont feel like changing or addong a lot because it would be better to rewrite it from scratch.
i think i better start writing those things down so can plan them from the begining.
also i have an other idea about an exact range meter but not sure how much performance or memory that would cost......

the option for changing background or border texture/color is not in the code yet and probably wont be as im thinking of rewriting the whole addon.

Mahiro, it's pyroblast (same distance as Fireball) that is messing things up. I've never spec'ed it until after patch to test it out. If I take pyroblast off my bars the yard indicators work correctly. And if you do end up rewritting Distance, please do it in Ace2!

@zeusjuice: hmm strange thing because as i check the code pyroblast has nothng to do with the range check... no idea why i have not added it. anyway i added pyroblast to the rangecheck^^
i would probably write it in ace2 but im working on an other ace2 project at the moment and have some problems understanding the structure of ace:/ and im learning somenew tricks with lua which could be useful^^

http://img219.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ghudgg3.jpg <-- thats waht im working on in ace2, small hud with party included

@Carpone: ok lets see if i can fix that....
EDIT: i see where i made the mistake, i have MindFlay and Mind Control in the check for the 20 yards, now if one train Shadow Reach then the range would only be displyaed for the 20+ yards and no 20....
the 25 yards is from an interact distance.

Nice... I was thinking... For Distance wouldn't it be easier to have 5 customizable spell slots that the user can define to be scanned by alt-clicking a spell in the spell book? Zeksie just added something like this to X-Perl . Clique has this kind of configuration for setting up spells for click-casting.

hmm not sure if that would be easier... but that made me think of a spell check which tells you if a needed spell is not in your action bar.
