Yardstick

A dynamic visual range HUD for the classic adventurer.

Yardstick is a lightweight yet powerful range-monitoring tool designed specifically for World of Warcraft Classic. Instead of squinting at action bar icons, Yardstick provides a sleek, circular HUD that sits exactly where you need it, providing instant visual feedback on your distance to your target.

Key Features

• Advanced Talent Integration: Automatically detects learned talents (like Flame Throwing, Nature's Reach, or Hawk Eye) to calculate your true effective max range.
• Dynamic Spellbook Scanning: Intelligent dropdowns only show the spells and abilities your character actually knows.
• Intuitive Color States:
  • 🟢 Green (Breathing): In range and ready to cast.
  • 🟡 Yellow (Near): Target is within 5 yards of your max range.
  • 🔴 Red (Too Close/Too Far): Outside of your effective combat zone.
• Intelligent Filtering: Optional "Only Attackable" mode hides the interface when targeting friendly NPCs or players in safe zones.
• Diagnostic Readout: Toggleable yardage numbers in the center of the HUD for frame-perfect positioning.
