WoW:API CheckInteractDistance

CheckInteractDistance

Returns true if you are in range of the specified unit to perform the action specified by distIndex. Otherwise, returns false.

---

Arguments

(String unit, Int distIndex)

unit

The unit to query (e.g. "target", "party1", "pet", "player")

distIndex

A value 1-4

1 = Inspect, 5 yards

2 = Trade, approx 10 yards

3 = Duel, approx 10 yards

4 = Follow, approx 28 yards

---

Returns

Boolean canInteract

canInteract

True if in range to perform the action. Otherwise, false.

---

Notes

If "unit" is a hostile unit, the return values are the same. But you obviously won't be able to do things like Trade.

There may also be more values for distIndex that we don't know about.

---

Example

if ( CheckInteractDistance("target", 4) ) then
  FollowUnit("target");
else
  -- we're too far away to follow the target
end;
