Description
Display the distance to your target. More accurate than any other AddOn.
Why Yards are so Hard to Calculate
AddOns are not able to obtain map coordinate data for NPCs and other players. This is a Blizzard decision to cripple range finding AddOns. Hard Yards is the most accurate at estimating distance across a full gamut of target types. Hard Yards displays the minimum and maximum yards to your target, friend or foe!
How To Use
Instal: Like any other AddOn.
Set up: Works 'as is'. For options enter '/hy', '/hard', or '/yards' in chat.
Moving: Mouse over the Hard Yards frame, holding down the 'Control' key. Drag and release.
Other AddOns: If one of HardYards_min & HardYards_max is not nil then Hard Yards is loaded and running. Range values from zero to 80 yards maximum. When beyond 80 yards, -1 is returned.
'/hy hide' will hide the frame BUT still allows other AddOns to obtain the range estimation.

It is all about the
Cookies & Beer although, and don't let Gallywix know about this, a "thank you" in the comments section fuels my programming appetite and is very much appreciated. And then, you could cut straight to
