TomTomPing - WoW AddOns

TomTomPing - Addon that uses TomTom's Crazy Arrow to display the direction and distance of pings and party members.

Features -

Ping tracking: listens to Minimap pings
Waypoint tracking: set and unset waypoints to track
Player tracking: track any party or raid member
Manual selection of tracking target
Auto track Target, Focus, Mouseover, Mouseover-click (Works with addons like Healbot and Grid)
Stick/Unstick current Arrow target: make current arrow target sticky; overrides selected tracking mechanism
Color coded facing direction: green towards the target, red when running away from it
Arrival check: direction arrow changes to down arrow on user defined range from destination
Heal range check: recolors arrow when out of healing range
Estimated time of arrival
Broker support
Compass as Broker text
Semi-automatic map measurement for instance maps with unknown dimensions

Install -

Copy the TomTomPing folder to your Interface\AddOns directory.
You need to have TomTom installed. Only working with "TomTom-r216" or newer.

Commands -

/tomtomping arg
/ttp arg

With arg:
target - use current target as arrow target
stick - make current arrow target sticky / unstick again
clear - release the crazy arrow
ping - ping on self
waypoint - set waypoint on self
wpclear - clear waypoint
measure - init map size measurement (Move at least 20 yards!)
menu - display options menu
version - display the version information
help - display this help

Usage -

Trigger commands via slash command, keybindings or mouse-clicks on Broker display or Minimap button.
The option menu lets you configure the addon behaviour in detail.

Using the "/ttp target" command will automatically stick the selected target as well if the auto tracking type is "Mouseover" or "Waypoint". This is to prevent the refresh routine to immediately overwrite the selected target again. For other tracking types the selected target stays non-sticky.

TomTomPing won't work in instances pre-WotLK since those don't support coordinate infos. That's why they don't have maps too - but this is finally going to change in Cataclysm.

Thanks -

This addon was inspired by the outdated PingDir.
Thanks Cladhaire for making TomTom usable by other addons.
Thanks Esamynn for making Astrolabe.
Thanks Knapster (alias Baaras) for the original developent of TomTomPing.

I was getting lua errors with only this addon and its dependency tom tom installed, I was wondering if this was something that was going to be fixed? Because it says it was updated to the latest version of cataclysm but when i try to target and have it track a player it isnt working.

Latest release is completely broken. Please open your repo to allow contributions?

The error:

Message: ..\AddOns\TomTomPing\TomTomPing.lua line 1423:
   attempt to index local 'tarC' (a nil value)
Debug:
   [C]: ?
   TomTomPing\TomTomPing.lua:1423: GetDistance()
   TomTomPing\TomTomPing.lua:1355:
      TomTomPing\TomTomPing.lua:1305

The fix:

1421   - function TomTomPing:GetDistance(bAlpha, plC, tarC)
1421  + function TomTomPing:GetDistance(plC, tarC)

Not sure where to post a bug ticket for this project...

I've discovered that TomTomPing:ZoneChanged() is doing The Wrong Thing when it's called within an instance (eg when taking an ICC teleporter). Specifically, GetCurrentMapContinent() and GetCurrentMapZone() return garbage results in an instance, hence the subsequent SetMapZoom() sets the map to an undefined region.

Amongst other things, this is breaking Deadly Boss Mods, which currently relies on the map to detect boss pulls:

You should probably be using GetCurrentMapAreaID() and SetMapByID() instead.

Small problem with the range... RangeDisplay shows 15yd(edge at 10-15range) from target and TomtomPing arrow shows 17.5yd from target.
How is the range determined with TomTomPing?
