Description

If you like this addon click "Add Favorite" under the download button to show your support !

Waypoints within the "Waypoint Removal Distance" will NOT be Set.
There is an optional chat message you can turn ON to let you know when this happens.

What does it do?
WaypointIt creates a scrollable list of map locations and allows you to sort them by name or distance and set a waypoint to any location by clicking on the item in the list. Click on a location once to set a waypoint, click on it again & the waypoint will be removed.
Has support for custom mapPin locations created by: Garkins SkyShards, Garkings Lorebooks, Harvens Custom Map Pins, Harvens House Hunter, LostTreasure, & Votans Fisherman.

Tip:
When you are interacting with a "Fast Travel Wayshrine" or "Fast Travel Keep" (wayshrines in keeps) you can click on a wayshrine or keep wayshrine in WaypointIt and it will teleport you to them instead of setting a waypoint. When you are dead you can also click on Forward Camps to respawn at them.

A Few Of the Other Features (All Features Are Optional):
See Screenshots: There is an example picture for each feature.
Default Sort Orders: You can set a default sort order for each of the location types in the settings menu. You can set them to sort by name or by distance.
Sort Toggle: There is a toggle button in the WaypointIt window to allow you to "temporarily" change the sort order of the locations you are currently looking at.
Waypoint Directional Arrow: An arrow that spins around the outside of the reticle pointing the direction to the waypoint.
Waypoint Distance: The distance to your waypoint will be displayed above the reticle.
Automatic Waypoint Removal: Automatically remove waypoints once you reach them. In the Settings menu: "Waypoint Removal Distance" allows you to adjust how close you must be before the waypoint is removed.
Waypoint Messages: Display center screen messages when you set & reach your waypoint.
Track A Group Member (Directional Arrow) When you click on a group members name in the WaypointIt window it does NOT set a waypoint to the group member. Instead it creates a small arrow that spins around inside of the reticle staying pointed at that group member. This way if they take off and run around you can always track them down! This Directional Arrow is separate from the Waypoint Directional Arrow. You can have both on at the same time, one pointing towards a location & the other towards a group member.
Print Quest Step Instructions: Prints the instructions for the quest that a waypoint was just set for. This helps you know what your supposed to do once you get there! The instructions will be printed to the chat window when YOU click a quest location to set a waypoint and anytime an AUTOMATIC quest waypoint is set for you.
Automatic Quest Waypoints: It also has a feature to automatically set quest waypoints for you! You can:

Have a waypoint automatically set for any quest you pick up.

Have a waypoint automatically set for you for the "closest" quest each time you complete a quest.

Have a waypoint set for the next step of the quest, each time you complete a quest step. (This feature is for those who like to focus on a single quest and work their way through it so they can keep track of the lore & what is going on, before moving on to another quest)

Have a waypoint set for the "closest" quest, each time you complete a quest step (it may not be the same quest though).

AUTOMATIC QUEST WAYPOINT LIMITATIONS:

It is NOT possible to find the location of every single step of every quest by code. Not all quest steps have a specific location.
In some specific/rare cases its not possible to find the "closest" quest. There is nothing I can do about this. If this happens WaypointIt will mark the next step of the quest you are currently working on, although it may not be the "closest". There is an optional chat message that you can turn on to let you know if/when this happens.

ToolTips: All locations in the WaypointIt list have tooltips that display the same information as when you mouse over it on the map. POI's do not have tooltips, there is no information to display about them.

Quests tooltips have MUCH more, a complete list of information about the quest,
Colorized Quest Name: Colored con levels for the quest, if you don't know what that means the quest name will change colors depending upon how hard the quest is for you: Grey is very easy way below your level, green is a little harder, yellow harder, red very hard...there may be other colors, its just an example.
Zone: Tells you what zone the quest is in.
Quest Level
if its a repeatable quest: Only appears if it is a repeatable quest.
if its a "Daily" repeatable quest: Only appears if its a daily repeatable quest.
if its an instanced quest, if its solo: Only appears if its an instanced quest.
background story
instructions for the step your on
(if available) Condition Instructions (some steps have multiple parts, called conditions), optional steps, & hints
exc...

Group Tooltips give you the:
Characters Name It also tells you if they are dead, in combat, a friend, or group leader. On top of those labels they are also colorized for thier state. Meaning if they are dead it will say (Dead) after their name, but it will also be in color so you can tell their state at a quick glance: If the it is red they are dead, yellow means they are in combat, green means they are a friend, Orange means they are the group leader.
Their Title: (if they have one)
If They Are The Group Leader
Class
Race
Level
Veteran Rank
Ava Rank: Displays both the rank number and name.
exc..

WaypointIt is meant to help you find your way around while IN a zone.
It does NOT keep track of waypoints when you change zones.
Maybe someday I will add that as a feature, but for now if you zone you will need to reset your waypoint.

A Big thanks to Votan and others for helping test this addon as I was writing it.
Votan also contributed some great artwork, he helped me out with some of the button icons. Thanks Votan!

Version 1.7--

LibGPS Update Updated the LibGPS library to the newest version.

Version 1.6 --

LibGPS Update Updated the LibGPS library to the newest version.

Version 1.5 --

API Update
New Keybind -- Mark Closest Quest Added a keybind to set the nearest quest. Remember its not always possible to find the nearest quest. If the keybind fails to find the nearest quest it will display a chat message, this one (while using the keybind) is NOT optional. This is to ensure that you know it is working & it at least tried.

Version 1.4 --

LibGPS Update Updated the LibGPS library to the newest version. The new version should help prevent the "Could not switch to sub zone map" error message.

Version 1.3 --

MiniMap Compatability Added a mapPin check before WaypointIt saves mapPins to help improve compatability with MiniMap.

Version 1.2 --

Bug Fix Fix a rare bug that could cause an error when attempting to find the nearest quest for setting automatic quest waypoints if the game returned invalid quest info for the nearest quest.

Version 1.1 --

Harvens Custom Map Pins Small code change to improve compatibility against future code changes in Harvens Custom Map Pins.

Version 1.0 --

Harvens Custom Map Pins Code changes to match code changes in Harvens Custom Map Pins. Harvens Custom Map pins should be working correctly with WaypointIt again.

Version 0.9 --

Row Highlights Fix The row highlights, that show if you have a location selected as your waypoint, was only working if it was set with WaypointIt AND there was no previously set waypoint. It has been fixed (the waypoint still has to be set with WaypointIt).
SetMapToPlayerLocation Added a missing callback on an instance of SetMapToPlayerLocation to prevent causing any other addons problems. Thanks to Votan for catching that one for me !

Version 0.8 --

Updated API #
[color="Yellow"]IsKeepOrDistrict()COLOR] Removed calls to IsKeepOrDistrict, this function was replaced with IsKeep() in the new update.
[color="Yellow"]ZoFontAnnounceSmallCOLOR] Removed the use of ZoFontAnnounceSmall, which was removed in the update. Replaced it with ZoFontWinH5. Its the same font, just a code change.
[color="Yellow"]Updated LibGPSCOLOR] Updated LibGPS to version 4.2
Fixed a Bug Fixed a bug that when switching from a filter on the main bar that did not have a submenu bar (the locations button) to a filter that does have a submenu bar it was not properly updating the list or selecting the first enabled filter.

Version 0.70 --

/setwp fix Added an extra check to prevent errors when incorrectly setting a manual waypoint with /setwp

Version 0.60 --

Distance Update Updated the distance calculations to be closer to the game distance calculations provided by ability ranges.
Bug Fix Fixed a bug where the reticle distance would not update properly unless you had the automatic remove waypoints setting turned on.

Version 0.5--

Bug Fix Fixed an error caused by map pins on the cosmic map.
Bug Fix Added the ability to set waypoints by chat slash command:
/setwp xCoordinate, yCoordinate
To prevent problems you can ONLY set waypoints with this command for the map that your character is on. If you are viewing a different map, it will revert to your characters map location & set the waypoint there. If you have the map open when you set a waypoint with this command, it will change the map to your characters current map location (if necessary).

Version 0.40--

Increased Waypoint Removal Distance Increased the maximum waypoint removal distance. For those using calculations in feet, the 10 feet was way to close. It now has a maximum of 75.
LibGPS Updated to the newest version of LibGPS, thanks to sirinsidiator and Votan for all his hard work updating it. LibGPS handles part of the distance calculations. I tested it out briefly & everything seems great, but if you have any trouble let me know.

Version 0.30--

Bug Fix Removed a line of debug code I accidentally left in version 0.29 that was causing the waypoints from not working properly.

Version 0.29--

Distance Change I changed the distance code slightly in an attempt to give something a little closer to real world distances. There is no way to do a real world conversion. I merely performed many tests running, counting the number of steps I took & using an average stride distance to estimate how far I would have run in real life...then adjusted the calculations to give a distance equal to that. By default distances are in feet, but I also added an option in the settings menu to convert it to meters...again this is a very very rough estimate, but it should be much better than it was.

Version 0.28--

Cosmic Map Pins Bug Fix: An error was being caused if someone used another addon to put map pins on the cosmic map (thats the one zoomed out all of the way). It has been fixed.
Do note that if you do this, everything should display fine now, but the distances to map pins will NOT work. They will all show 0. This is because it is not possible to get coordinates from the Cosmic map. There is nothing I can do about that.

Version 0.27--

Bug Fix For FastTravelKeep map Pins. There was an occasional error being caused when porting into cyro if a keep was under attack.

Version 0.26 --

Lost Treasure Added Support for LostTreasure Map Pins
Added POI SubFilters Added new subFilters for POI: Mundus Stones & POI: Delves
POI: Public Dugneons Temp Fix The API's IsPOIPublicDungeon(..) function does not seem to work properly. I'm awaiting a response on that...in the meantime I added a, sloppy, temporary fix for it.

Version 0.252 --

Bug Fix Fixed a bug that was causing a nill error if a waypoint was removed to quickly.
Bug Fix For Votans Fisherman Map Pins

Version 0.24 --

Waypoint Message Change The waypoint message settings previously overlapped. The "Reached" message was controled by the "Waypoint Messages" setting, regardless of how it got set. This is no longer the case. Now:

The "Waypoint Messages" setting will determine if you get a "Set or Reached" message anytime YOU set the waypoint manually.

The "Auto Messages" setting will determine if you get a "Set or Reached" message anytime an auto-waypoint is set for you.

Show Distance Bug Fix If you had a waypoint set and did /reloadUI the distance to the waypoint was getting automatically shown even if you had it turned off.

Version 0.23 --

Bug Fix Fixed a bug that was preventing the locations list from being populated if you changed the map to a zone that had no wayshrines, no quests, & no POIs...but had locations, the locations list would not automatically populate. It would just show up blank until you manually changed the filter.

Version 0.22 --

Hide While In Combat Added options to hide the directional arrows & distance while in combat. Separate options for the waypoint directional arrow & group member arrow, this way you can hide one, the other, or both.
Show Distance To Waypoint Clarification Clarified the tooltip...The Directional Arrow MUST be turned on to see the distance above the reticle.

Version 0.21 --

Minor Update Code improvement to help reduce amount of code needed to run for scroll List updates.

Version 0.2 --

Group Member Bug Fix Fixed a bug that was preventing the group member button from being enabled.

SecurePostHook(interactionManager, "StartInteraction", callbackFunc) -- or ZO_PreHook or whatever hook is used

Hi Beartram,
that's good to know. Thanks!

Baertram Super Moderator Forum posts: 4537 File comments: 5614 Uploads: 77	-Accessibility features added- The following settings were added for Accessibility "Chat reader" feature usage: -"Waypoint set" text to chat (+ sound) -"Waypoint distance" text to chat (+ sound) (will only work if the arrow/dot/glyph/... pointing to the waypoint is enabled at the reticle!) -"Waypoint reached" text to chat (+ sound) I hope this helps you guys using this nice addon in accessibility mode too! It should at least help you with automatic waypoints for quests, quest steps etc. and make it more comfortable to find the next waypoint/Quest target. Check out my other accessibility addon which provides sounds to assist you with your targeted quest/waypoint, as you oook at them at the compass: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info...ssibility.html It also provides features to show you the NPC/enemy/player, interactable object names and state (blocked / criminal action, or not) in the chat (for the "chat reader"), if you move your mouse above them. More features planned.

If you can find the time, it would be good if this code could be taken into the next release, so users of the Group Member Directional Arrow don't have to keep re-editing each time.

Thank You.

I personally do not group that much. This is a big help. I will add that.

Warning: Spoiler

There is only one file to edit: AddOns\WaypointIt\core\WaypointIt.lua; the changes are in two functions: WaypointIt:SetupEvents and WaypointIt:RunGroupWaypointUpdates.

The code to change for WaypointIt:SetupEvents is from lines 125 to 131.

Code:

    local function OnGroupUpdate()
        self.FRAGMENT_DIRECTION_ARROW:SetHiddenForReason("group", self.sv["WAYPOINT_HIDE_ARROW_GROUP"] and IsUnitGrouped("player"))
        self.FRAGMENT_GROUP_DIRECTION_ARROW:SetHiddenForReason("group", not IsUnitGrouped("player"))
    end
    em:RegisterForEvent(self.name, EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE, OnCombatStateChange)
    em:RegisterForEvent(self.name, EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_LEFT, OnGroupUpdate)
    em:RegisterForEvent(self.name, EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_JOINED, OnGroupUpdate)

This needs to be changed by adding an if-block to OnGroupUpdate() and adding another em:RegisterForEvent() call for OnGroupUpdate after the present group.

Code:

    local function OnGroupUpdate()
        self.FRAGMENT_DIRECTION_ARROW:SetHiddenForReason("group", self.sv["WAYPOINT_HIDE_ARROW_GROUP"] and IsUnitGrouped("player"))
        self.FRAGMENT_GROUP_DIRECTION_ARROW:SetHiddenForReason("group", not IsUnitGrouped("player"))
        -- groupN tags get changed around during loading screens, so make sure we follow the right one
        local followingUnit = self.followingUnit
        if followingUnit then
            local followingUnitName = followingUnit.name
            -- only search if tag has changed (group size can be up to 24)
            if followingUnitName ~= GetUnitName(followingUnit.unitTag) then
                for i = 1, GetGroupSize() do
                    local unitTag = GetGroupUnitTagByIndex(i)
                    local unitName = GetUnitName(unitTag)
                    if followingUnitName == unitName then
                        followingUnit.unitTag = unitTag     -- this is the one to follow
                        break                               -- stop looking
                    end
                end
            end
            -- no need to stop updates if followed unit not found, RunGroupWaypointUpdates will wait
            -- and there will probably be another update with followed unit before it times out
        end
    end
    em:RegisterForEvent(self.name, EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE, OnCombatStateChange)
    em:RegisterForEvent(self.name, EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_LEFT, OnGroupUpdate)
    em:RegisterForEvent(self.name, EVENT_GROUP_MEMBER_JOINED, OnGroupUpdate)
    em:RegisterForEvent(self.name, EVENT_GROUP_UPDATE, OnGroupUpdate)

The code to change for WaypointIt:RunGroupWaypointUpdates is from lines 1890 to 1896.

Code:

               if not bDoesUnitExist or followingUnitName ~= unitName then
                    -- I need to add a call here so that if this unit is no longer the correct
                    -- person, search all group units to look for them, they may still be in
                    -- the group, but under a different unitTag
                    self:RunGroupWaypointUpdates(false)
                    return
                end

This needs to be changed by adding some code to wait a while for the group update. Don't miss the extra lines after the existing end.

Code:

               if not bDoesUnitExist or followingUnitName ~= unitName then
                    -- Group tags can get reassigned during loading screens:
                    -- allow 0.5s for OnGroupUpdate to recover correct unitTag.
                    -- OnGroupUpdate will search all group units to look for name,
                    -- they may still be in the group but under a different unitTag.
                    -- Can't do that here, because the group may not have updated yet.
                    local waiting = followingUnit.waiting or 0
                    if waiting < 10 then
                        followingUnit.waiting = waiting + 1
                        return  -- don't cancel yet
                    end
                    -- We've waited long enough, give up now
                    followingUnit.waiting = nil
                    self:RunGroupWaypointUpdates(false)
                    return
                end
                -- we may have been waiting for missing unit but all good now
                followingUnit.waiting = nil

If you can find the time, it would be good if this code could be taken into the next release, so users of the Group Member Directional Arrow don't have to keep re-editing each time.

thank you for integrating this.. i forgot to add this before but is it also possible to add a size sliderbar of the "track a group member" pointer? since the arrow is a little too small.

and if possible a different category for Hoft's "Map Pins" since its with the same category of "Destinations" markers.

thank you so much for the update

Would it be possible to add this option?
Thank you

Sorry for my bad english.

try to adjust auto removal distance.. if it helps

shadowcep Forum posts: 1 File comments: 109 Uploads: 0	Group Member Directional Arrow improved I started using this addon for the Group Member Directional Arrow - it really helps me follow my group when they shoot off over the horizon! However, I found it quite often loses tracking across a loading screen. I know I can just reselect the group member again but while I'm doing that they've got away and into some exciting combat somewhere. I found this so frustrating that I've updated my copy to make OnGroupUpdate track the changing groupN tag during a loading screen. With a change in RunGroupWaypointUpdates to wait a short while for a tag update, instead of dropping the arrow on first loss, I now have an arrow that tracks all the time. Following detail is mainly to votan. Warning: Spoiler With a tracing-only debug version that waited but didn't update the tag, I found that from 1.5 hours playing, 4 out of 7 loading screens caused permanent loss of tracking and had to be reset from group list on map. Testing my fixed version yesterday, I got the following results. Over a playing period of 4 hours with 37 loading screens, Group Member Directional Arrow never visibly lost track of the selected group member. Debug from the session showed the followed groupN tag was lost and refound 17 times. OnGroupUpdate with an updated groupN tag was received within at most 3 repeats of WaypointGroupUpdates (nominally <=150 ms after loss, although LibDebugLogger shows several seconds on its timestamps). I had added a debugging feature to make the pointer red while waiting to refind a lost group member; during my testing I never noticed a red pointer, the refinding was so fast. @votan, if you would like to incorporate my fixes into the live version, let me know and I can send you debug and optimised versions of the code, along with the debug log if you're interested to check my results.

Huh? I do this all day.

No. Circonian supported limited set of pin types, only. And I did not change that.
