Version: 1.2.2

by: bulton-fr [More]

Dependencies :

Current Features :

Display an icon at the landing position

FAQ :
Why I not see any icon ?
The addon know the landing position only if you are on the map instance when the dragon pop or take off to go somewhere else. If you are not here at these times, the addon cannot know the landing position and no icons will be displayed.

TODO :

Add the icon on compass
Add more info on icon tooltip

If you want other features, you can ask in comment.

I'm trying to finish the Draconic Minion Murderer achievment and only need the dark gray ones to do so. Thanks in advance for verifying, regardless if it can't be done.

I can have some info, but only common info for each dragon, others info is not returned I double check this morning and I may have an idea, but I do not believe it too much.

Seeing as how the unit tag is available you can use GetUnitPower(unitTag, POWERTYPE_HEALTH) to determine which is which.

Thanks for info, it's a great solution in live to know if it's a red or grey dragon. But I have checked on PTS for the two new dragons and they have 14713494 hp too. So when they will come in live, it will not be possible to know if it's a red or one of new dragons. We only can know if it's grey dragon or not

Nop, the 2 new dragons will also be in northern, and the red and grey dragons will also be in the southern.

EDIT : I have find a way to know the dragon color ! it works on PTS and live. For the live I was unlucky because 3 red dragons (lol), but it seems to work; I will check again tomorrow.
So I will implement that soon

I just released a new version of DragonTracker (and the lib) which display the dragon color and I'm thinking to maybe implement the color on the nextLocation icon

Phinix Forum posts: 186 File comments: 1783 Uploads: 32	Great job! Really outstanding work! Did a google search for "next dragon location" during this Elsweyr event while the weekly Endeavor was killing 30 dragons, as I kept arriving just as the dragons were dying to the massive 50+ raid chain killing them. I did encounter one in Northern Elsweyr that didn't land at the indicated spot, though it did land pretty nearby. Had just downloaded the addon otherwise I would have screenshot it. If it happens again I will. Otherwise though, I'd say 90% of the markers have been spot on. Thanks from saving me from the "Dragon Chaser" title.

So let's say I'm in Rimmen or Senchal, the dragon landing markers are drawn in the city at the exact same location as on the fully zoomed out zone map.

Thanks

About the icon position, I see during this event (it didn't happen during the last dragon event) that the icon takes a position when the dragon pop, and move to another position 1 or 2 second after. I use events fire by the game api, so I don't really know why it does that. However I suppose it's not this case you had. The only idea I could have about this issue is an instance's switch when you use a wayshrine (if you use it). I'm not sure my addon can detect that, and it's not easy to test it.

Thank to report the issue.
I have also seen it yesterday when I was watching the Mukmire map for a guild mate and see the dragon location icon has popped.
I do a fix today but I'm really tired today so I prefer to wait later or tomorrow to do a double-check before publishing the fix.

Acadian Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Very helpful Addon! Thanks so much for providing this Addon! I've been using it for a couple days to hunt dragons during a busy event and it really makes the difference in being able to get to the fight in time. Before installing, I was finding myself arriving after the dragon was dead over a quarter of the time. Now, I can almost always make the fight and sometimes even arrive before the dragon! Makes a great difference when hunting dragons.
