About this addon

What it does

A simple addon that lets Blizzard's native map pins, added back in Shadowlands, work with typical internet /way commands. Basically, it's TomTom for Blizzard waypoints. 

Features:
  • Supports any typical /way command you'll find online
  • Outputs the waypoint description to chat, so you don't forget
  • Allows you to paste in a saveable, scalable, sortable list of /way commands (or coordinates)
Usage:

Single Waypoints

  • /way x y
  • /way x,y
  • /way (x,y)
  • /way x y Description Text
  • /way ZoneID x y
  • /way #ZoneID x y
  • /way Zone Name x y
    • Tries its best if multiple matches are found
  • /way here, me
  • /way clear, c
  • /way options, o
  • /way help

Waypoint Lists (/way list, /way l)

Blizzard waypoints DO NOT SUPPORT more than one waypoint at once.

  • Opens a new window for you to paste in a list of /way commands (like from WoWHead comments)
  • Creates a moveable, minimizable, sortable window with your list of waypoints.
  • Window Buttons
    • [<] - Copy the current list back to the input frame
    • [+]/[-] - Maximize or minimize the window to just show the last set waypoint
    • [Opt] - Opens the options panel
  • List Controls
    • Save List? - Saves the list when closed/logging out
    • [Clear Current] - Clears your current waypoint
  • Sort Controls
    • Sort by: [Zone] - Sorts waypoints within their zones
    • Sort by: [World] - Sorts waypoints that are within your same world map
    • [Closest] - Sorts by the closests point to you
    • [X] - Sorts by X coordinate, toggles ascending/descending
    • [Y] - Sorts by Y coordinate, toggles ascending/descending 
  • Waypoint Buttons
    • [X] - Remove this waypoint from this list
    • [Set] - Set your waypoint to this
    • [Next] - Set + X, sets your waypoint to this and removes it from the list

Options Panel

  • Input Frame: Scale / Reset
  • List Frame: Scale / Reset

Not compatible with any other addon that uses /way.
