MeleeWeave

MeleeWeave is a lightweight range indicator for Hunters who melee weave. It shows the estimated distance to your current hostile target and makes the transition between ranged and melee distance easy to see.

The WoW API does not expose an exact target distance. MeleeWeave combines item range checks and interaction distances to show the tightest range bracket available on the current game client.

Range indicator

Colour	Range	Meaning
Red	Over 35 yards	Out of ranged range
Blue	10–35 yards	Comfortable ranged distance
Yellow	5–10 yards	Closing in on melee distance
Green	0–5 yards	Melee range—weave

The white marker in the middle of the bar represents the 5-yard transition to melee range. The available range checks differ between WoW versions, so some clients display wider distance brackets than others.

Download the ZIP matching your WoW version from the latest release.
Extract it into the Interface/AddOns directory for that WoW installation.
Check that the resulting path is Interface/AddOns/MeleeWeave/MeleeWeave.toc.
Restart WoW or type /reload if the addon was already installed.

Commands

Both /mw and /meleeweave open the command list.

Command	Description
`/mw show`	Show the range bar
`/mw hide`	Hide the range bar

`/mw unlock`	Unlock the bar, then drag it with the left mouse button
`/mw lock`	Lock the bar in place
`/mw reset`	Reset the bar position

Position, visibility, and lock state are saved between sessions.

Limitations

WoW only answers whether a unit is within particular ranges; it does not return an exact distance. The displayed value is therefore a bracket rather than an exact yard measurement. No available check can measure below 5 yards, so the green state is the important signal once the target is in melee range.
