PitBull4_Arrow
PitBull4_Arrow
A PitBull4 module which shows an arrow that points to raid members.
FAQ:
Q: Why does the arrow some times not work?
A: Players can be in different zones or different "levels" within a zone. When that happens, GetPlayerMapPosition() returns nothing.
Q: Why does the arrow not track mobs or enemy players?
A: The Blizzard people figured that'd be too OP. You just can't do that.
Q: How come the minimap can show me all that stuff?
A: The minimap is special, and has does a lot of stuff not available to the addon API.
Features:
- Shows an arrow that points to raid members.
TODO:
- Make the moving of the arrow move the distance text with it.
- Add an option to make the arrow be a child of the unit frame instead of hard coding it to UI Parent.
Known bugs:
- None so far.
Reporting bugs:
- Please post bug reports here. While I monitor the comments on curse.com, it makes my life easier if bugs are reported in the wowace bug tracker.

Posted May 21, 2014I just tried this in Tol Barad and it didn't work. Does the function not work in PvP "instances"?

Posted May 10, 2014Any sort of screenshot would be really, really nice. I'm sorta interested, been playing with my UI out of boredom after finishing SoO, but have literally no idea what this does. I know what an arrow is, I get that it points at players, but I'm reading things about the minimap, zoning... Is it an arrow like TomTom? Does it put an arrow on the minimap like the normal arrows you get that point you to party members that are offscreen? A screenshot can tell us more than four paragraphs can. Please upload one, thank you! c:
