Get Target Positon or range

Hi

Im using WoW addon Studio, I just want to know does anyone know the code for getting your target range or how far away they are from you?

I know for you position it;s GetPlayerMapPosition for your taget would it be GetTargetMapPosition?

Im trying to build a targeting assissant addon. (Because I fail at targeting)

Thanks

There is no way to get coordinate positions of your target or anyone else. The only way is for other players that are using addons to send that data to one another from their respective GetPlayerMapPosition calls.

You can only guess at ranges based on whether certain spells/abilities are in range.

Here's an example: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...82-Fudge2.html

Another example would be the range displays in Stuf unit frames. (0-5yards, 5-10, etc)
