TomTomTargetArrow

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

TomTomTargetArrow will hijack TomTom to point and show distance to your fellow players in same party or raid as you. Make sure you have Tomtom installed too.

Especially useful for healers in BG's if you get disoriented and loose track of where person_01_needing_healing_and_is_oor is. Also useful if you like me fancy running BG's with a friend and wanna try to team up as much as possible without having to hover your mouse over every single dot on the map to figure out where your mate is.

Also added ability to highlight friendly-target on worldmap along with classcolors which i found handy in battlegrounds. Highlighting current target and sticky-target on worldmap.

Enables you to see distance to other people in raid inside Battlegrounds.

/ttta stick will stick to your current target.

/ttta unstick will clear stickytarget and track current target again.

/ttta calibrate opens a calibration window. If you want distance calculation inside instances, then you need to calibrate it to that zone by targetting a person in the raid/party, align with that person in either x or y axis, then move to 40 yards range excactly and press Calibrate button. If you calibrate TomTomTargetArrow with a zone other than battlegrounds and wanna share the data, it's saved under WTF\Accounts\<AccountName>\SavedVariables\. Send it to me and i will incorporate it in the coming releases.

It uses Astrolabe to aquire player positions and do distance calculations. Special thanks to Esamynn.

The concept sounds sound, but it would be nice if it had support for addons like Healbot or Grid. I often see random ppl dying that are out of range and I have no idea where they are. It'd be nice if all you had to do was to hover over someone's icon for it to point to where the target is.

Sounds very interesting, downloading right now, though what about calibration? Is it required for every bg and how often is it required? Or does the addon just work as it is?

The calibration part is only relevant until i have aquired measurements of all dungeon and raidzones available. I have steadyli worked my way through most of the dungeons and bugged several people to act as a measuredummy for me, so soon i will release a version that should provide precise distances for all northrend instances.

This is a nice addon! Please keep up the good work! =)

The concept and design is simple yet VERY practical, i am surprise no one has compliment on this addon yet.

Regarding your note about Astrolabe i agree with you Zidomo. I have hereby removed the custom version of Astrolabe. Forgive me for my noobish mistake on this. It's my first addon to relase publicly.

As to the marking Rsmozang and persisting the target, i will consider implementing that as it makes good sense. In my original version of this addon called targetDir i had something similar implemented, but ended up removing it because my "focus" (not focustarget) changed during the battle, when i realized that i wanted to locate someone else fast. Anyway i will consider it and see if i can come up with something that can satisfy both situations in a intuitive way.

Agree 100% with Zidomo. Also, would like to see this work without having to always have someone targeted. I.E. Target someone, hit a bound key to "mark" your target, and proceed.

Why include QuestHelper's "custom" version of Astrolabe ("AstrolabeQH") when TomTom already includes the original Astrolabe? Doing it this way, you have two different libraries loading doing essentially the same thing for no good reason if someone isn't using QuestHelper.
