What game client version, classic or retail, windows or mac and language are you using ?
- Retail 12.0.1
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Summon pet, have it go out of range (38 yds, with or without Range by class selected), then try to bring it back into range of the player.Did you try having Grid2 as the only enabled addon and everything else disabled?
- No I haven't yet.
Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?
- Prior to Midnight prepatch verions only.
Do you have an error log of what happened? If you don't see any errors, make sure that error reporting is enabled (`/console scriptErrors 1`) or install [BugSack](https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/BugSack).
- No lua errors are produced.
Please provide any additional information below.
- As an alternative, I tried setting Range to Spell Range and used Mend Pet (45 yards) for friendly units. This is working and allows the alpha indicator to fade when beyond 45 yards and return to normal under 45 yards as expected. However, with this setup, friendly other friendly players are now always out of range (I presume because they are not in range of Mend Pet for which they are invalid units.I made a small clip of the initial issue here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjDR2hfEEa4
I didn't record the behavior with the alternative Mend Pet for friendly units setup though, sorry!
Try using the heal range option, this range option should work with pets (and can be used for non healer classes too)-
The point of the new 38 yards range check is to use the new blizzard range check system to increase performance, avoiding a timer to update the range every few milliseconds, and anyway the issue only happens when you are solo, I think in party or raid the pet range check should work fine.
If the new blizzard event/system does not notify when the pet range changes, i really cannot fix the blizzard code, I dont want to add a timer to the 38 yards range check, because the point of code refactor i did was just to remove that timer.
I did try Heal range, but that's limited to 30 yards (with and without Range by class selected), which isn't really helpful since all friendly hunter abilities are 40 yards and then Mend Pet at 45 yards. But that also doesn't have the issue with it staying faded out of range at least. And yeah, I totally understand you're playing within Blizzard's new limitations :(
In version 3.0.30-beta pet range check should work when the player is solo, with stantard 38 yards range setup.
