Does anyone know of an addon/weakaura that displays the current distance to my target?
Like whether I’m 2, 7, 24, 30, 40 or 130 yards away from it.
Thanks for your help!
dunno, but went to curseforge classic section and typed in “range”
RangeDisplay showed up - looks to be something akin to what you’re asking
The wow API lets you check whether or not you are in range for specific actions, but to the best of my knowledge you can’t query the exact distance.
Try commands like these to see:
/script print("In range for /follow (28yd) : " .. (CheckInteractDistance("target", 4) and "YES" or "NO"))
/script print("In range for /inspect (28yd) : " .. (CheckInteractDistance("target", 1) and "YES" or "NO"))
/script print("In range for /trade (11.11yd) : " .. (CheckInteractDistance("target", 2) and "YES" or "NO"))
/script print("In range for /duel (9.9yd) : " .. (CheckInteractDistance("target", 3) and "YES" or "NO"))
So those commands combined would let you narrow down “the range” to within 4 possible ranges:
- 0 to 9.9 yd
- 9.9 to 11.11yd
- 11.11 to 28 yd
- 28 yd or more
You could easily wrap an addon (or weakaura) around those commands, and i gather that’s what the addon that Jon already mentioned does, it mostly just depends on how you want that info to be displayed.
Perhaps you can throw a few more cut-off points into the mix, based on the spells your current character knows. Using IsSpellInRange and like a 40yd spell for example, but it would be class/spec specific which things you can check for.
