Description
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.
