Addon for Range tracking

[Ysaran]

Do you know if there exists an addon that helps you keep track of the distance from your target?

[Zxul]

Yep would like to know as well, to see if target is in range of ability which doesn't requires target, like chosen's Quake.

that would be cool, but i just need an addon that tells me how far is my target. i read that it is possible to do it with RV_MOD or targetring, but i can't figure out how to do it

Nope, the distance to your target(s) is not information that the add-on system has access to. The only distance information it has access to are the 2D/top-down distance between you and other map markers which is how things like Enemy display the somewhat inaccurate distance between you and people in your party/warband as it cross-references the names of the people in your party/WB with the names of the map markers (the blips that show the location of who is with you).

The best you can do is an estimated range based on ability checks, e.g. if your 5ft targeted ability is out of range but your 30ft targeted ability is in range then an add-on can guess that the enemy is further than 5ft away. That's about it really...

Think that is what „rangechecker“ from idrith is doing.

That's more than enough for me. Just want to make sure my FoDG is going to connect since i can't run to my target anymore .

I will try it, thank you very much!
