Addon request legendary ring 20 yards range

[Deleted]

Showing if you are within 20 yards of the current target.
Simple. Would be really nice.

[Nathima]

This is only possible if the target is a friendly player, in your party / raid. You cannot do this for NPCs, as that is blocked by Blizzard.

Your best bet would be to install an addon that does a best guess of the range of your target based on which of your spells can be cast on it. (eg. 30-40 if you can heal, 20-30 if you can dot, 0-5 if you can melee, etc). http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/range-display

You can do this for any type of target easily, it's just won't be that accurate.

Attempting to call location of any NPC or player not in party or raid will give a location of (0, 0), always.

Ah, very nice workaround, did not realize this worked for NPCs. That's about all you can do though, and it's only for set intervals (9.9, 11.11, and 28 yards). So you're right in that it would only be very approximate.

If there is a suitable 20 yard range spell to test with.

I really wish Blizz would just add 20 and 40y checker to the CheckInteractDistance.

Made a WA to track the 20y range weeks ago.
I used the range of http://www.wowhead.com/item=10645/gnomish-death-ray (IsItemInRange("item:10645","target"))
It will work even without this item in your inventory.The WA shows the duration and the caster of the ring. If the caster is you, then the color will go from green(in range) to red (out of range).

Is it also works if you are not an engineer?

It should, also tried other ranges (with different items ofc).
Capacitor trinket for example is one (15y random quest item lol).
I found the items in the rangecheck-lib

    [5] = {

Intresting, actually it would fix some issue like Taurens can duel/trade/inspect/follow from much more far then any other races. Making the yard checker inaccurate.

Useful to know.
Didn't realise it was in such an accessible form.

Looks like we have an option there for the 20yd range of the ring.

The issue is that is does not work for friendly but un-assistable or enemy but not-attackable mobs.

Maybe someone with an US account could poke the Blizzard forums to give us a proper yards to the CheckInteractDistance (Which works on every unit, friendly-assistable, friendly-non-assistable, enemy-attackable, enemy-non-attackable and the neutral ones too).

Because the current yard checks are pretty pointless for anything:

http://wow.gamepedia.com/API_CheckInteractDistance

We need:
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, ... to 100.

Seriously, I didn't think to ever try this. I just assumed that that because Blizz had locked down the coords of all NPCs, that such functionality would be locked down elsewhere. But you know what they say when you assume...

I'll be honest, I ignored "check interact distance" because it's so inaccurate as to be useless for most practical purposes. Walking the table of items with known 5 yard ranges is fine, and I'd kind of like to shake a Blizzard dev and be all "just unlock five yard accuracy on NPC locations, or at least distances", but whatever.

The issue is that you still can't build a proper range checker for every target, since the problem i mention above.

[Meatleg]

Hey guys i'd tought i just upload the ring weakaura i made for my guild which has following features.

-the wanted range check to target (background colors in red(20y+)->yellow(20-15y)->green(15-0y)
there is a value under the 20 yards check cause it is a little bit inaccurate and it can be out of range when you stand right at the 20 yards indicator keep in mind it only checks range to your current target

-raidwide cooldown tracking + uptime and user

-hides while out of combat without losing track of the cd

the range check also only visualizes if you are the initiator of the ring.

here's a little showcase video:


DISCLAMER: i'm using elvui so appearance may be a bit off on your system cause of fonts and icon packs.

PS: maybe there is some LUA god out there that could also help me to get an indicator for healers how many ppl are in range of there heal explosion, given the fact that tracking friendly players position is possible via LUA.

I couldn't find any information about burst radius and assumed it's 20 yards too. Change it if needed.
