Range Marker Being Calibrated
 
Description
Many of the fights in the new expansion require that the raid stay within a specific range of the target. We needed a tool to measure that range. This app is by no means an ideal solution, but it is the best solution I can offer at this time.

----CALIBRATION----

When you first run this app, the range markers are not calibrated. Since all monitors are different, and since the camera angle in game changes the range positions you must first calibrate the markers to your screen and camera angle.

1. Since this is something you will do often it is best to create a calibration area within your guild hall. To do this you will need to know the effective range of a few spells, you will need a helper, (a training dummy will work in a pinch) and you will need a few simple house items to use as markers.

2. Put your helper (or training dummy) at the starting point of your calibration area. Target your helper, and move away from them until a known range spell goes gray. (Brock's Thermal Shocker is 10 meters. Wizards Fusion is 10 meters.) Mark the range with another house item.

3. It may take a bit of creative thinking, but using this method you should be able to create a line of at least 6 markers exactly 5 meters apart.

4. Now it's time to actually calibrate your range finder to the calibration area.

5. move to exactly the side of the first guild hall range marker, Open the range marker app and move it so that it is over top of yourself and mostly to the top half of the screen (see picture)

6. Now adjust the camera angle to one that is comfortable for the fight in which you will be using the app.

7. move the apps marker points adjacent to each of the guild hall markers

8. if what you have looks similar to the picture, then you are done.


----Tips----

When you close this app, it will remember its position and range mark locations. So, there is no reason to run around with an ugly line in the middle of the screen until it is needed.

in the event that your camera angle changes before you need this app on a fight, you can open the app get range on a target, then move your camera angle until that range matches the right mark on the app.


----Caution----

Changing your camera angle or point of view will cause you to lose calibration.



----Limitations----

this app will only be accurate when fighting on a level surface. If you are on a hillside or ramp the ranges will be inaccurate.

remember that when you are in closed areas you camera angle often changes automatically. Keep this in mind when calibrating for a specific fight
