Loot-a-Rang Matic
As I no longer actively play please see Loot-A-Rang Matic Reforged for an updated addon. - Nimids
This addon uses ranged looting spells when you double right click in the game world.
- Loot-a-Rang for Engineers
- Findle's Loot-A-Rang for Non-Engineers
- Fetch Glyph for Hunters.
Loot-a-Rang Matic will not use your Loot-a-Rang or Fetch when you are in a dig-site or have a fishing pole equipped unless you are hovering over a loot able corpse.
Also do to Blizzard restrictions Loot-a-Rang Matic can not function while in combat or while moving.
fetch not working on Nazjatar
In reply to buckmaidt:
Indeed, and I assume that it won't work in the other new zone as well.
Is there a way to macro Fetch to right double-click so I don't have to count on this mod?
EDIT: I was wrong, it is working in Mechagon.
FIX NO LONGER NEEDED SINCE Nimid updated the addon for BFA!
Did a fix my self as I cant live without this addon.
Here is the full code for main.lua if you just want to copy paste: https://pastebin.com/raw/zPVZFyqG
My code has the edit to only loot on mouseover that was posted by Nimid below. So if you want to copy paste my full code and still keep the old double click as it was in the addon just follow Nimids comment and do it the other way around. https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/loot-rang-matic?comment=6
Here is how to do it your self if you prefer that. I changed the following code in main.lua. Replace my 4 spaces with a tab instead in the following code, I dont know how to write tab on the website.
Changed line 115 of main.lua from:
to:
since it only seems to require 1 engineering skill now.
Changed line 267 of main.lua from:
to:
since GetCurrentMapContinent doesnt work anymore.
My first time coding in LUA, so could have been done cleaner (returning rank 1 engineering for example seems redundant). But I just wanted a quick working fix. I have only tested this as engineer out in the world and as a non engineer in wod zones. Confirmed to work with Hunter pets fetch glyph in comment below by Tirasa.

In reply to Nimid:
Can we get an update for 8.0 since it no longer works?
Stopped working in 7.2
In reply to Terranoch:
This isn't working for me as of the patch, it won't use my engineering looter no matter what.
Also not working for me...
Just pushed a fix, blizzard changed some code for trade skills so the addon couldn't see if you had the engineering skill.
If you use the Fishing Ace addon with mouse casting enabled or have enabled click-to-move in Interface, this most likely won't work correctly. Well, I know it won't work correctly with click-to-move, which will eat any right mouse click in the worldspace and treat each one singularly and move the character to where it points. Since Fishing Ace can optionally also rely on double right mouse button clicks, that's also trouble with or without click-to-move.
Right in the Description it says it won't work if you have a fishing pole equipped unless your also hovering over a loot able corpse, this is because the addon disables it's self mostly in the 2 cases other addons tend to use the double right click for. (Archaeology's Survey and Fishing Casts)
And yes it doesn't work if you also have click to move enabled however that from what I can see is out of my control.
Truly awesome addon. Thanks for creating this, it is a huge help on my Hunter.
I was wondering if it would be possible to add another item - Mother's Skinning Knife (http://www.wowhead.com/item=130102/mothers-skinning-knife)?
This is an item that allows skinning from up to 40 yards away, and pairs very well with Fetch for Hunters who are Skinning/Leatherworking. It can be used in much the same way (does not require a target, only works if there is a skinnable enemy within 40yds, etc), except that skinning remains single target (as opposed to looting, which is now AoE).
If there is anything I can do to help this feature be added, please let me know, I would be very excited to see it.
I could try to make it so if you have the Mother's Skinning Knife it tires to use it on every other cast, but I don't have a knife yet, so I can't really test it. Will try to get my it on my skinning hunter soon.
Occasionally getting an error on use.

For some reason, it's not working on my Eng for regular Loot-a-rang. He's got 700 eng.
You should add to the description that Findle's Loot-A-Rang is also affected to this addon.
