This addon is now DEPRECATED!! Please use TomTomPing instead! I'm leaving the page up for historical purposes.





FriendlyArrow

Sets up TomTom's Crazy Arrow to always point to a raid or party member via a configurable key binding or slash command.

Uses:

  • Track a friend you're healbotting in Alterac Valley. (Yes, this works in battlegrounds!)
  • Find a player who needs a battle res.
  • Find the tank that's ranged you and desperately needs a heal in a large instance. (Yes, this works in instances too!)

Instructions:

  • Configure the "Player Arrow -> Toggle arrow" key bind in the default key binding configuration menu to toggle tracking, be in a raid or a party, target a party/raid member, hit the configured key binding to toggle the TomTom arrow.
  • Set your target/focus/mouseover to another player and hit the appropriate key binding to switch tracking.
  • Set the target/focus/mouseover to nothing and hit the key binding again to clear tracking.
  • Use the slash command and the range checking option to toggle tracking only for party/raid members that aren't in range. Here's a macro I use:
#showtooltip
/faset mouseover 1
/cast [target=mouseover] [] Flash Heal

Requirements:

  • TomTom, minimum version r216. Many thanks to Jim Whitehead for modifying TomTom to allow addons such as this to exist.

Caveats:

  • Stops tracking when the tracked player changes zones.
  • No distance information in instances or battlegrounds.
  • Distance is not yet implemented. What is displayed is just coordinate distance.

Reporting bugs:

  • Please post bug reports here. While I monitor the comments on curse.com, it makes my life easier if bugs are reported in the wowace bug tracker.

Video:

  • Here's a video that demonstrates FriendlyArrow in action.
