Minimap tracking events?
I am looking for an event which fires when your tracking skill (Whatever it be, hunters abilites, find herbs, mining etc) locates something in the minimap (And puts a yellow circle on it) - Is there such a thing? Thanks in advance!

no, there's not.

I know that there are ways to track the points of interest on the world map or on the battleground map. Unfortunately, I would think that it's impossible for the minimap, since (afaik) the tracking DoTs and everything that appears on the minimap is treated at a lower level than the API you can use, and you're only given the resulting texture. No frame is created or whatsoever.

Ah but you forgot the trick we mentioned a couple months back.
Every now and then take the minimap, resize it to a minimum and set it to be transparent, move it underneath the mouse which should fire the event you need if a tracking dot is present, put minimap back in place and make it visible again. Not sure if it still works or not, or even if it has ever really worked efficiently, but there was an addon for it at some point. |
wow, thats genius, a little rough, but thinking well out of the box
So where's this addon? |

Whoops sorry the thread is here.
But the addon (TrackAlert) seems to be gone with the recent WoWInt oldies cleanup. |
@Kaomie: I didn't forget, it's just that that method is a pita. :)
@littlebudda79: you can still search the description. Go to the find tab and you'll see the check boxes under the search box. |

Now if this was General-Discussion/Interface-Requests I would not have mentioned it ;) PS: "oh my gawd she said pita :eek:" |
minimap tracking
is there a way to play an audible when a gold dot appears on minimap do to any tracking skill? i am just interesting in an audio alert when i am flying around i am missing something.
my end goal if this is possible to assign specific sound files based on known gold dot names. assuming the interface had the ability to define an ascii string on the query to play a specific .wav file. that way i could record things like "True Silver" as a .wav to play. when a minimap gets a dot for "True Silver" ore it would play the defined .wav file |

Edit: To answer your second question, the part about playing sounds is really not a problem. CF http://www.wowwiki.com/API_PlaySoundFile |
@friiar
This is exactly what we are talking about, and the short answer is no. The long answer is maybe, but someone will have to code it again since we lost the previous implementation of the idea. |
thanks.
i didn't know what the old mod did. i thought it was a visual indicator or something. |
