MAX PartyWaypoints

Version: 1.06

by: sailen [More]

!!! Now thanks to patch 3.1, this addon will work inside instances. !!!

Allows for tracking of any or all raid/party members with separate arrows. Each arrow shows direction, distance, and estimated travel time to the selected player. Designed for friends who can't seem to stay together in the battlegrounds

To make an arrow: bind a key to it then target or mouseover and hit that key, or select from the right click party menu.
To move: left click and drag with the mouse.
To remove: right click it.
To resize: type /maxwp
To dynamically track target or mouseover: Make a keybinding or type "/maxwp track target", or "/maxwp track mouseover"

It is designed to show as a question mark if your target is in a different zone or doesn't exist. It should work if your target is in the same instance, outdoor zone, or battleground. Please post or send me a message if it is not working for you.

Inspired by Cartographer Waypoints.

PS: This is my first addon release. For those of you that design addons, I'm open to suggestions and corrections. I did not patent this, so feel free to use it but please don't take credit for my ideas.

Thanks that worked.

Let me ask you this, Is it possible to make your application work outside of a group or is that something Bliz won’t let work? Here’s my issue, I am a program that tells me when the opposite faction is in the area (Enemy) and when I click on it their Portrait comes up if close but I have a hard time looking for them. I have always looked for add-ons that maybe placed a dot or something on the mini map so I could at least walk that direction until I see them but your’s would be perfect (If possible), Please advise.

Thanks

I'm glad it's workin for you now.

I would really love it if it could track people outside the group, but there's a limitation with the API blizzard gives us. The command I'm using right now to get grouped member's location is:

http://www.wowwiki.com/API_GetPlayerMapPosition

which only works on grouped players. If you know another way or if they release a new api, please let me know.

Carbonite does it some how. They have punk(enemy) detection that send a chat message and makes a sound and places a position dot on the minimap. Maybe check out their code?

Carbonite uses incredibly expensive and verbose communication from clients. Basically when you encounter an enemy you sit there spamming information about his location to other people. This is not a satisfactory solution.
