    TomTomPing is an Addon which uses the CrazyArrow of TomTom to show you the way to the point where someone "pinged" into the Minimap.
    Just make a "Ping" an you'll see the CrazyArrow. QuestHelper, Gamanai.com/ ,SDABD*)&K

    It also let the CrazyArrow point to a raid or party member.
    Could be your target, focus or even mouseover (nice for healing with Healbot, Grid, vuhDo)

    game addons, www.Gamanai.com/ ,AJHC^&%(

    Have a look at the new Minimap Button Menu.
    There is now a "normal" Minimap Button and one for LibDataBroker
    The normal one could be switched off. Type "/ttp minimap"

    http://Gamanai.com/, mmorpg games ,5as874)&K

    Just target the raid or partymember and type "/ttp target" or just click the keybinding. You also could type "/ttp <playername>" to assign the CrazyArrow to the raid or partymember named playername.
    More is in the "Commands Section".

    "Runaway Arrows".
    A Runaway Arrow points away from a coord or a player until you are far enough away or time is over.
    Have a look in the "Commands" section. game addons, www.Gamanai.com/ ,AJHC^&%(

    You need to have installed.

    addons, http://www.Gamanai.com/ ,231j4l8s9

    /ttp focus
    Sets CrazyArrow to point to your current focus. http://www.Gamanai.com/, mmorpg news ,576&$^DfN

    /ttp mouseover
    Sets CrazyArrow to point to your current mouseover.

    gaming news, GAmanai ,673A&D^A

    /ttp <playername>
    e.g. /ttp Baaras (on player Baaras - that's me)
    Toggles the CrazyArrow to point to the raid or partymember named "playername"
    Example: QuestHelper, Gamanai.com/ ,SDABD*)&K

    /ttp always target
    Toggles the CrazyArrow to always follow your new target when you change your target.

    www.Gamanai.com/, player pics ,GHSA%&^(s

    /ttp always focus
    Toggles the CrazyArrow to always follow your new focus when you change your focus.

    http://www.Gamanai.com/, mmorpg news ,576&$^DfN

    /ttp always mouseover
    Toggles the CrazyArrow to always follow your mouseover
    e.g. You are healing with HealBot, Grid, Vuhdo or whatever, the CrazyArrow will follow
    raid or partymember you are actually hovering. So you always knows where the person
    is you are actually wants to heal. gaming news, GAmanai ,673A&D^A

    /ttp always mouseoverclick
    Toggles the CrazyArrow to always follow your mouseover when you click on it.
    It's nearly the same like "/ttp always mouseover" but the CrazyArrow is only changing
    his target when you click on a hovered unit. (I mostly prefer this when healing)

    http://www.Gamanai.com/, mmorpg news ,576&$^DfN

    /ttp moclick
    Performs a "mouseoverclick"
    This means if you heal with Mouseover-Macros, you could add this command to your macro
    and the CrazyArrow will show to your mouseover.
    Seems to be the same like "/ttp mouseover" :-)
    The difference is, that "/ttp mouseover" sets your mouseover as CrazyArrow-Target like "/ttp target"
    and "/ttp moclick" does this like you click with the mouse on a mouseovered target.
    This makes it possible to work with Mouse-Clicks and Macro-Buttons at the same time.
    "/ttp always mouseoverclick" has to be activated

    Gamanai.com/, world of warcraft ,j4l8s9s3s

    /ttp way
    Sets a virtual waypoint on your current position

    buffthrottle, http://Gamanai.com/ ,7fMafkaf5

    /ttp waypoint

    /ttp runaway
    /ttp runaway <playername>
    /ttp runaway <playername> <range> <time>
    Shows CrazyArrow pointing away from the player named "playername" or yourself (playername = empty).
    Example: /ttp runaway Baaras 20 5
    Shows CrazyArrow pointing away from Baaras with save range in 20 yards/meter for 5 seconds

    /ttp runawaypoint
    /ttp runawaypoint <playername>
    /ttp runawaypoint <playername> <range> <time>
    Is the same like "/ttp runaway", but the point of runaway stays where the player was standing.

    /ttp scale
    Saves the scale of the current map manually.
    (First perform a ping with "/ttp" then move away from this point and do /ttp scale) wow addons, Gamanai.com ,KJK*&&(H

    ================ Drawback and small help request =============== QuestHelper, Gamanai.com/ ,SDABD*)&K

    There is a small problem in calculating the distance to meter/yards in instances.
    I could not find mapscales for the instances. So i built in a semi-automatic mapscale learning function.
    If you'll track someone in an instance the distance will not be shown in meters/yards and a third line shows "no range calc".
    So what to do?
    Just use /ttp or the keybinding to perform a ping at your postion.
    In the chat you will see: "Try to get Scale"
    Now move a bit more than 20 meters/yards and the mapscale should be learned.
    Something like that should be shown: "Scale saved for VioletHold_1 : 0,56940030594992"
    Afterwards you'll have a range calculation in meters/yards in this instance. Gamanai.com, warhammer addons ,H41655fa

    If you think the scale was not accurate, then you could save a new scale manually:
    Stay still and perform a ping with /ttp.
    Then move away from your position. (Greater distances gets better results)
    Now type /ttp scale
    The new scale should now be saved. gaming news, GAmanai ,673A&D^A

    The mapscales are saved in your \WTF\Account\youraccount\SavedVariables in TomTomPing.lua
    It would be really nice if some people will post their TomTomPing.lua after getting a mapscales of a few instances. So i could implement them as database in the addon to avoid this learning feature for future releases.
    Thank you! addons, http://www.Gamanai.com/ ,231j4l8s9
