Best way to update compass pin for a moving object?
 

I'm making an addon that adds some pins to the compass, using CustomCompassPins. Some of the pins are for static things like banks, others are for things that move around:
- group members
- more prominent cardinal compass directions (these have to move when the player moves)

Currently I have an Update that runs every 500ms by default, and recreates these pins. It would be nice to be able to update them more smoothly, but I don't want to hog the CPU and cause performance problems.

Is there a more performance-friendly way to update the pins?

No because according to ZOSDanBatson the UI developer we do not have access to that. If I remember correctly that is handled on the C side. The last time someone asked ZOS the request was denied.

Here is the info about how to achieve the update via an "animation hack" (by Shinni), taken as screenshot from the developer chat (gitter.im).
I hope it relates to your question/usecase nad helps.

Thanks! That looks like it's about updating the pin appearance. What I'm after is a better way to frequently update the location of the pin. Anyhow I think I'll just release the addon as it does work as is.

Might as well release it and use the public as beta testers, haha. That seems to be the way of most game studios now.
