TomTom is your personal navigation assistant in World of Warcraft. This addon is very simple, but provides a nice set of functionality. Thanks to Esamynn for Astrolabe, which does the bulk of the work in this addon.
TomTom offers the following major features:
/way 14.78 23.90
/way Nagrand 45 50
/way 14.78 23.90 This is a waypoint!
/way reset all
/way reset Nagrand
/wayb Here
/wayback
/cway
/closestway

A couple minor issues with the modifier. All of them that contain CTRL (SHIFT-CTRL, ALT-SHIFT-CTRL, etc.) do not work in Cartographer 2. The Cartographer_Notes menu always appears, as described in my last post ("Create a new note" & "Cancel"). Any other modifier in the new TomTom menu (ALT, SHIFT, etc.) works properly to place a TomTom waypoint on clicking, though. May (or may not) want to put a help note in the TomTom options panel informing folks of this limitation caused by Cartographer_Notes. Also, placing a new TomTom waypoint when you have one active--whether by clicking or via /way--automatically removes the current waypoint from both the crazy arrow and the world/minimaps. Its a problem when using TourGuide or LightHeaded & they have a waypoint set, but you want to head to a different waypoint made yourself first. Less of a problem with LightHeaded as you can just go back in the quest notes and click the blue coordinate location again. Its a _lot_ more of a problem with TourGuide; haven't been able to get an auto-set quest waypoint back after making my own. |

If you have a mod that sets waypoints for you upon login, such as questhelper, that's the mod that is "creating" a new waypoint upon login. TomTom is just generating a crazyarrow to go with that waypoint. For your situation I recommend going into TomTom's settings and disabling the crazyarrow completely instead of "clearing it for the next waypoint". Then turning the crazyarrow back on again when you want it back. All your waypoints will still be there, but the arrow will be permanently hidden (even on login) until you re-enable it.

r150, USEng client/server.
Type in "/way" & press ENTER without coordinates (yes, non-standard behavior) and the following error occurs: TomTom-150\TomTom.lua:860: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value) Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:3003: in function `ChatEdit_ParseText': Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2732: in function `ChatEdit_SendText': Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2753: in function `ChatEdit_OnEnterPressed': <string>:"*:OnEnterPressed":1: in function <[string "*:OnEnterPressed"]:1> Add coordinates to the end of /way and it works without problems. CTRL-click to set a waypoint on the world map doesn't work with Cartographer "2" (latest SVN version, with Cartographer_Waypoints disabled). The popup tooltip only shows the default Cartographer options: "Create a new note" & "Cancel". |

That is drastically different than what happens now, so it doesn't really make sense in this case. When you click to clear the waypoint, you're just clearing the waypoint from the arrow at that moment not turning the arrow off temporarily. I understand what you want in theory.. but it just doesn't make any sense in the general case. There's no "hide the arrow temporarily" option. As a matter of fact I just added the clear waypoint option because someone asked for it.
The Crazy Arrow is very simple. It can be disabled or enabled. When it's enabled, any new waypoint that is set will be set on the crazy arrow. When you arrive or the waypoint is cleared or removed, the arrow is hidden. You can right-click an existing waypoint to send it to the crazy arrow. What you're proposing would be another mode entirely, but its a bit premature to talk about something like that when the arrow is in such a preliminary mode to begin with.

I haven't looked at your code, so I don't know what architecture of the addon is, so my suggestion may be way off. What we can, we can have a flag indicating that the arrow has been temporarely switched off. We can persist this flag. When addon is loaded we can check this flag and suppress showing the arrow when the flag is set. Every time the arrow appears naturally we clear the flag. Every time user chooses to temporary clear the arrow we set this flag. If you like you can make a setting to ignore this flag on load if you think that it's usefull to pop the arrow back up by default.
Actually if you think about it... Ignore the DC case. It shouldn't happen to often anyway, and if it does you are in a bigger trouble. Let's consider what the addon (TomTom) should provide for a user and when actually it is most useful. The thing is that you are not using Crazy Arrow most of the time. It is most helpfull when you need to find a destination. Then it pops up and you go there and it disappears when you clear it or when you arrive. My personal feeling, that the default mode should be with crazy arrow on OFF. When you login you don't have it displayed by default. When you set a waypoint to the arrow, when you arrive to the destination the arrow switches off and stays off untill you set the next waypoint to the arrow. I understand that the above is quite different from how it works now, and that you may not like it at all, so I'm in no way insisting, I'm just sharing another suggesting for already great addon. Feel free to ignore this entire paragraph. |

I'll see what I can come up with, but feel free to offer suggestions.

Case 1: I'm on a grind session, so I cleared the arrow because it was getting on my way. I got DC'ed. I log back again, and the arrow is back there so I need to clear it again. It's not about blacklisting this particular waypoint. It's about not showing arrow after we logged back in. Case 2. I'm havin a break and I'm not playing with the char in the field. I'm just logging every few hours to look at AH buy and sell things, etc. I still want to keep all my waypoints, becuase I will resume questing eventually. But I don't want to clear the arrow every time I log in to check the AH. Again - not about blacklisting.

So it makes sense that the arrow re-apears when it is set again or you choose to set it as the waypoint arrow. But if you log off it shoudln't trigger this setting action. Nothing really warrants this.
