  • About TomTomTargetArrow
  •  

Displays 17 yards to target inside Warsong Gulch in the preparation area.

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.

    Is there any way to get this to work with arena to have 2 arrows, 1 pointing towards your target and the other pointing towards your focus target. It would be extremely useful for focus fears for me as a warlock.

    Regarding the 2 arrows, it's only possible to track direction and distance to people in your group.

    Nice addon, but have annoying bug. When I die in an instance and run from Spirit Healer (it normal show arrow to portal where corpse is) and when I pass through instance portal, arrow bugs and it show only some green nonsenses. I must reload interface to force it to work again. And it doesnt show range in instances, only arrow, if this can be implemented or it is bug too. Thanks

    I've been having the same problem, and found out that if you disable "Automatically set a waypoint when I die," in the TomTom general options window, this issue vanishes. Hooray!

    Thanks for the nice comments btw guys. I haven't had the time to update the addon for quite a while due to work and RL. I might have a chance to give it a checkup this coming weekend tho. I would like to add calibration values for the remaining instances in northrend too.

    I will take a look at the posibilities of interacting with healbot and grid too.

    Is it possible to use the arrow with non-friendly targets? This would be really useful for finding those hard-to-find quest mobs that are close enough to be "/target"ed but not clearly visible.

    It could also be handy in pvp if you had a nemesis, so that it would point to them once you had them targeted.

    Additionally, it could also be useful if you could use it for targeting specific quest NPCs in cities where you don't know their exact location but are able to "/target" them.

    The tracking of hostiles are not possible as far as i know of. For stationary npc's this could theoretically be saved in a database like questhelper or similar does, but i won't delve into that area with this addon.

    This is indeed a great addon... Really simple yet extremely helpful. Thanks very much. Keep up the great work! :)

    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?

    Reply Report Permalink

    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.
