Small request.

Right clicking the track button on the MM should track none.
Just a thought.

Thanks.

Heya!

Bug with losing tracking when switching to another mob of the same type seems fixed indeed! Very nice :P

Regarding my other request: I know that I can stop switching when leaving combat by typing "/at lct 0", but that's not really convenient if I just want to temporarily stop out-of-combat tracking, for instance when PvP'ing in BG's or something.

You already have an option to disable autotracking, except that it does not stop the addon completely. It merely stops tracking on switching targets. It will always still keep switching the tracking type on leaving combat. That's what I would like to see changed: if I use "/at switch" to stop the functionality of the addon, I would like it to stop changing out-of-combat tracking too...

Disabling the addon completely, including out-of-combat tracking, is currently still not an option :P

Thanks for the speedy updates though...

Cheers

*Update*

I just tried the newest version, and it works like a charm! Precisely what I was looking for, thank you very much

Well, it was extremely simple to add my requested out-of-combat tracking request.

I just added the following lines:

autotrackDB.leaveCombatTracking = 0

after the line

autotrackDB.enabled = false

and autotrackDB.leaveCombatTracking = 2 ("Find Minerals")

after the line

autotrackDB.enabled = true

This fixed it just for my personal preferred out-of-combat tracking type, but I still would like to see a general functionality added :P

Cheers

Hi, I really like this addon, but there are 2 things that are not working quite as I expected.

Firstly, I have set LeaveCombatTracking (lct) to Find Minerals (being a miner and all), but if I enter a BG or just want to PvP a bit, there's currently (to my knowlegde) no way to disable the lct tracking switch. I just want to keep tracking humanoids, or whatever I set manually...

When I disable autotracking using "/at switch", it will indeed stop autotracking on targeting, but once I leave combat, it will always still revert to Find Minerals, even if I don't want it to. Especially in BG's this is a bit annoying...

Could you make it so that when autotracking is disabled it will also stop switching to the out-of-combat tracking?

Secondly, and this is obviously a bug, when I target a type of mob (say, a beast), if I then target another unit of the *same* type, it will cancel the tracking, and track nothing. When I then switch again to another beast, it will track beasts again.

Upon inspecting the lua code, I could not determine if there's currently a check in place to see whether the currently targeted unit is already being tracked. I see it just "casting" the tracking, thereby effectively cancelling the tracking if the unit type is already being tracked...

Otherwise, keep up the good work

OK what did I do wrong I did /at lct 1 which sets it to track Herbs out of combat .. But it does not switch ??


NVM I fixed It did not know I had to reload my UI to get it to work lol

Hi,

in the French locale ("frFR"), undead can't be matched properly (even when lower-casing the search, which is missing anyways IMHO...):

Creature type: Mort-vivant
Tracking type: Pistage des morts-vivants (note the extra s after "mort"...)
(Some others also fail in an accented fashion...)

Do you have any more extensive locale support planned?

Cheers,

Coren

Would it be possible to have this addon revert to the previous tracking so that i can track nodes in between.

it happens on every load screen when I get back on a little later I will get the info and post it for you to look at.
Here you go

just want ot say that I love this add on, but I have been getting an error whenever i come out of a load screen. I will try to post it here later so that you will have a chance to look at it and fix the problem thanks

i just wanted to say this is a fantastic addon. it does exactly what i was looking for - where the others had failed miserably, autotrack does it perfectly (and efficiently).

thank you, hungtar.
