A Request if possable
**Location of member that are not in your party or raid group**
OK, this idea just hit me while i was doing a usual search for people on my friends list, i was wondering if it is possable to create an addon that would place a little circle on hte minimap/world map for where your friends are (so long as they too had the addon). My thoughts were that using a system like map notes have the addon on each client send they other people on there friends list there coordinates in a predefined channel so that it would make there location on the world map if they are not in your party (maybe using a different looking icon) the system wouldnt have to be perfectly accurate, but say that the addon broadcasts some information over the sync channel.
Like:
&NSAGEOFSHADOW &RUNDEAD &L60 &AMAGE &ZTARNIS &C38,50
&N<NAME> Player Name
&R<RACE> Player Race
&L<LEVEL> Player Level
&A<CLASS> Player Class
&Z<ZONE> Current Zone
&C<COORDS> Coordinates of player
and have a message like that repeat every so often(around every 5 seconds), the addon could use that information to create a marker(like the party one) for the location, if the addon is sent the same coordinates for 2 or more pleayer then have it create a list at the location. To handle players going offline if the addon does not recive information on the target in X seconds then remove the note. And if the coordinates change for a player then move note to new coordinates.
I have very slim knowlage for LUA or any other scripting so i cant make the addon myself but if anyone wants there is the basic ideas for an addon that would show where your friends/guildies are in the worldmap/minimap if they are not in your raid/party
PM me if you have and questions as to how this might work
