How to disable auto-tracking humanoids when shapeshift?

Whenever my druid turns into a cat, it automatically starts tracking humanoids "for me". While a useful skill at times, it makes using the minimap really hard for me most of the time.

Do you know what mod might be responsible for this behaviour? Or is this normal out of the box standard? How can I make it leave my tracking target alone?

Thanks!

Track Humanoids is an ability you can use in cat form. The game uses it automagically for you, but you can just toggle the spell.

I don't want to toggle it off *every single time* I go into cat... Are there any mods to disable that behavior, or do I just have to write my own?

iirc, you only have to toggle it off once.

OK, we're making progress. This is definitely not a once only deal... No matter what I assign to track, in human or cat form, when I go into cat form, I'm *always* tracking humanoids.

For example: In human (well, Tauran...) form, I want to track people who will repair my armor. Then I shift to cat form so I can run there faster, and I'm tracking humanoids.

Then I set it to tracking repairs, shift back to human, back to cat, and I'm tracking all humanoids again.

This has to be a mod, it's too annoying not to be! Anyone know what the culprit could be?

Try disabling all mods and see if the behavior still persists. If not, then enable half your mods and see if it comes back. If it does, you know it's in that half of mods. Turn off half of those. If it still happens, etc.

Turning off humanoid tracking

While in catform, disable humanoid tracking. Change to regular form then back to cat. Problem will be fixed until you relog to this toon.

Lua Code:
  1. for index = 1, GetNumTrackingTypes() do
  2.     if(GetTrackingInfo(index) == "Track Humanoids") then
  3.         return SetTracking(index, false)
  4.     end
  5. end

Something like this would work, unless it's an actual spell.

Keep in mind you have to use this with an event that is suitable for this task.
