Request: NPC PVE X,Y API Function to replace GetMapPlayerPosition('reticleover') + API changelogs

SkOODaT · June 2014

Since it seems you guys removed GetMapPlayerPosition('reticleover') can we please have some sort of replacement for NPC X,Y cords... even just for pve if you are trying to restrict things, ive been in the process of creating an addon called "vendors" to mark vendor locations on the map automatically becuase creating a database manually would be insane, i was pretty much done it after a month of learning and coding and now with v1.2.3 its severely compromised without that function, ive wasted playtime making something for others for nothing lol
would be really awesome too if you all could release API change logs or post change logs for the PTR as your testing

thank you

Yes, please let us poor addon developers have some sort of coordinates.

Well, for my addon a function like GetDistance("retricleover") would do it. The distance should be measured meters, like the units used for weapon ranges etc. Thus odd, heurictic algorithm for transformation of normalized coordinates into real coordinates could be avoided.

Please!

I would like to see an api function for interactable objects coordinates as well.
