MAX PartyWaypoints

Version: 1.06

by: sailen [More]

!!! Now thanks to patch 3.1, this addon will work inside instances. !!!

Allows for tracking of any or all raid/party members with separate arrows. Each arrow shows direction, distance, and estimated travel time to the selected player. Designed for friends who can't seem to stay together in the battlegrounds

To make an arrow: bind a key to it then target or mouseover and hit that key, or select from the right click party menu.
To move: left click and drag with the mouse.
To remove: right click it.
To resize: type /maxwp
To dynamically track target or mouseover: Make a keybinding or type "/maxwp track target", or "/maxwp track mouseover"

It is designed to show as a question mark if your target is in a different zone or doesn't exist. It should work if your target is in the same instance, outdoor zone, or battleground. Please post or send me a message if it is not working for you.

Inspired by Cartographer Waypoints.

PS: This is my first addon release. For those of you that design addons, I'm open to suggestions and corrections. I did not patent this, so feel free to use it but please don't take credit for my ideas.

1.02 added some animation, fixed right click menu, fixed arrow position on creation

1.01
-added option for class colors (type /maxwp for options)
-added key bindings to dynamically track mouseover or target

1.02
-updated for 3.1

1.03
-fixed .toc for 3.1
-Thanks to the changes in the API from patch 3.1, this addon will work inside instances.

1.04
-Fixed bug that caused arrow to always show as question mark.

1.05
-changed a global variable to local

I don't know if it's technically possible, but specially for instances it would be very helpfull for tanking and healing porposes. Also a possibility to set class colors would be great. Keep up the good work!

I will add this feature, but it will only work when your target is in your party/raid. Good idea.

I don't know of an api call to get a player's location while in an instance, but I will add the option for class colors.

I found that you can dynamically track your current target or mouseover by typing "/maxwp track target", or "/maxwp track mouseover"

I plan to implement key bindings for these actions.

Yep just left click and drag to move them. It works with any other addons.

However, there are some additional features I think would make it just about perfect... 1. An option to have it automatically toggle the appropriate arrows whenever I am in a group. IE: When I join a group with 2 other people, I want it to turn on arrows for both of them. When a 3rd person joins, it activates the 3rd arrow. When someone leaves, it turns off their arrow. 2. The ability to lock the arrows after I position them, and to have it remember those positions across sessions. (I like the arrows to be right next to the unit frame for whoever they are tracking).

Good idea, I'll work on it. You can also dynamically track party members by "/maxwp track party1", and it will track whomever is in the party1 slot, and same for 2, 3, 4.
