Question - How to check distance to a target

[kett73]

Is there a way to check distance to a target? I sssume you can use mq2nav, but how would you do so without navigating to the target?

 

[mackal]

Since you mention MQ2Nav, I assume you want the distance you would actually travel rather than just plain ${Target.Distance} (or ${Target.Distance3D}, note both can be done with ${Spawn[]} so you don't need to /tar), which you can get with ${Navigation.PathLength[foo]} where foo is just the normal stuff passed to /nav. (Or I think that should work :P)

 

[kett73]

Actually I just want the distance not necessarily for pulling. I want to keep my healers outside the distance of a dot spell a mob casts. It would be Line Of Sight.

 

[mackal]

Then just the normal Spawn Distance will work.

/echo ${Target.Distance}

Thanks William12 and Mackal

I use this as my HUD.ini file and it gives you the distance to the target as part of it built in. I have been using this one for over 10 years I just copy and paste it back into the file after every patch because it will overwrite the file. I especially like it in big open zones like FM or back in the day when kiting knowing the distance helps a lot.
