Target Distance?

kobekatt · #1 04-03-2006, 10:27 PM

I may have missed this already, but is there a mod that shows how far away a target is?

The reason I want this is that I am a healer with a max range of 20m for healing. It would be GREAT to have the tank targetted on a pull and see him coming back and the range counting down.

Ideally, a single window with just the distance in m from myself to target would be awesome.

Is this doable?

Thanks guys!

There is a standard option in EQ2 that will grey out your spells if the target is too far away.

That's the best you'll get, as the UI does not have distance info available.

Thanks for the reply.

I do have the grey out when too far away option enabled.

Just seems strange that the UI knows when to grey out when my MT is standing 21m from me, and highlights when he is 20m. How does the interface get this information?

Thanks again

The client might somehow know the distance to the target, or the server sends the info on which icons are grey directly to it without telling it why. Either way, the data is not exposed in any displayable way that can be placed in a UI.

/feedback it if it's something you really want because Sony has to make the data available.
