Marker

Version: 2.22

by: akamatsu02 [More]

Heyo \o/

are you also in many core groups which require different position markers for their raids? Well, then this might be the addon for you!
It has a lot of new features and some of them might interest you!

NEW FEATURE! Marker Functions:

With this feature you can add Lua-Functions that execute when a Profile is loaded/unloaded and when a Marker is updated (default: every 3s). Here is a short example what you can do with this feature:
OnLoad:

Code:

EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("MarkerProfile1", EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE, function(_,inCombat) MARK._v.inCombat = inCombat; end)

OnUnload:

Code:

EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent("MarkerProfile1", EVENT_PLAYER_COMBAT_STATE)

Marker Requirement:

Code:

return MARK._v.inCombat == true

=> This will make the Marker only appear when you are in combat. You can also Register Events for Boss abilities to show Markers when a Boss casted an ability, but keep in mind that it can take up to 3 seconds for the Marker to update!

Marker Requirements always have to end with a return statement that returns a boolean value (true/false), otherwise the Marker will never be visible!

And also don't create new global variables inside these functions, otherwise you might overwrite variables that other addons use. If you want to use variables, use them inside the MARK._v - Table, this table is cleared every time the profile is reloaded/changed.

You have to use the MarkerJson - Export to share functions, the other export methods only export the Markers without functions!

--------------------------------------

I'll list some of them here for you:

- to open the menu, just click the button in your chat-window, or type /marker

- you can create multiple Marker-Profiles for each instance

- distance-based Marker activation to increase the performance

- each Marker can be edited after placing it, you can also change the texture

- add new Markers quickly with a keybind

- import and export config for "Elms Markers" and "Marker" (yes, you can import an Elms-Config)
(When you have missing textures after import, you need to re-import the config again. It will not work if you export the broken config and import this one)

- there is a menu to connect placed markers (if you want to make a line of Markers or place a Marker directly in the center between two other Markers)

- you can also share Markers over the chat and load them by clicking the chat-message

- there are 71 textures by default, but you can enable all texture packs in the addon settings to be able to use all 1000+ textures (who wouldn't like to use pepe in eso?)

... and even more.

Sometimes a Marker might not be removed when editing it, to solve this error you can use the command /markerclear

Turns out it was User Error:
The EmotePacks have to be enabled manually (they're only Optional Dependencies) and with enabling EmotePack_ESO and EmotePack_Marker it works

Hi, I'll add it with the geometry-marker update. ^^

Thanks for the info, I'll add it in the next update of LibEmote (the selection is not part of the Marker addon ^^")

Drawing everything when you enter an instance does not seem ideal, as you might end up with icons outside the visible range that are still constantly updated. Maybe look into some distance based activation and detection of sub zones etc as well.

I added a distance based activation in the latest version, thanks for the comment

Depends on if and how often the circles need a redraw to show them properly for the group members.

I didnt look at the actual code but your picture looks like it is comprised of multiple individual icons.

Hi,
I use the midpoint circle algorithm there to get all coordinates on the perimeter of the circle and then place an icon every 50 coordinates. This is ofc not the best option, but it was the easiest when I created the addon some months ago ^^

I only tested the performance on my laotop (~2.5 years old), there it was possible to have 10 large circles in front of me without any performance impact.
I dont know how OdySupportIcons does it with the redraw, but I only place all icons of an instance when the player ports in it.
However in a future version there will be a refresh if a specific icon is removed, but even this wasn't noticeable for a normal amount of icons in an instance ^^
