[Request - Info] Range addon

[Helluin Estel]

Is someone developing an addon to know the range from the target?
I found nothing around.

I would love a Range/Distance addon like UnitRange on WoW.

sometimes search is cumbersome and doesnt show the threads you're looking for.

people probably made a post about this issue before you did, considering this has been a problem for a long time. let the mods moderate the forums.

idiocy aside, i am also looking for a mod like this. The scout stance for shadow warriors gives us 110ft range, but the default ui reds out everything past 100ft, so we can cast at 110ft, but our hotbar buttons all show as red at that range, rather annoying when you're trying to find max range. You have to get withing 100ft, and then back up, or simply guess/estimate where 110ft is by experience .

Halsfield, yes, this is the problem.


@Clyne if you use "search", maybe you find a post I did about it during last month on FAQ topic without any answer.
Since there are answers to the same question here while I wrote that before, it seems I'm not the only one who can miss something.

It would be awesome if we could set semi transparent rings around us to indicate range. Customize the distance from player you want the various rings. I mean really it makes sense that the characters would know their position better than just running up and going, Oh! I can shoot now! I hate inching forward to see distance in keep fights and I hate not really being able to see what 45ft really is.

from reading these requests to addon developers from what I gather the range info isnt something that they have access to to put in an addon. so its not do-able.
I dont know about putting rings around your own char though.

[Zhuyn]

I would be keen on rings around my character, think I mentioned it somewhere else, but I think ti would have to be a sphere around your character that only showed where it intersetcted another texture (ie the ground/walls etc).

No idea how to implement that, but your range is in 360% (for a squig herder at least) so would be ideal.

If it involves 3d rendering, addons can't do it.

Some sort of rangecheck would be a great tool. As a swordmaster i would like to know which groupmembers are within 30ft to see who i can put guard on.

Unless you have an ability that has an actual 30ft range requirement to cast it at all, you're out of luck.

So, how about a tactic that has a range component, Aiine? Such as the SH/Magus +25% damage increase from 45'+. I think this is the addon that people are looking for, i know i am.

No. The only ranges which can be determined are those which prevent an ability from being cast at all. If it's a range modification from a talent, or a conditional (but not required) bonus effect based on a range, there's no way to check it.

I just noticed this pop up on Curse the other day, haven't tried it but maybe it's what you are after.

That does exactly what I have described above (checking range spans based on actual can/can't cast of specific abilities), and is subject to the limitations I have stated above.
