Let It Snow - Achievement

[tinyphrag]

This achievement requires you to target 10 different races/classes and throw a snowball at each one. It's not so hard to do myself and in fact am about done with it but I was thinking it might be interesting to learn how to code a profile like that. Not so complex that it's overwhelming. I've made a number of my own profiles but most of them are simple and straight forward. Mostly gathering profiles or fishing or some simple questing behaviors but I'm not sure how to actually look at players around me, find one on the list that is one I need and throw a snow ball (well the snowball part is easy), it's the other stuff I don't know how to do. Any direction or ideas on where to start? I'm not seeing a list of players in the dev tools part of honorbuddy so I'm not sure if this is even possible. Thanks.

As a side note I'm not looking for someone to code it. I just need some direction. Is it possible to do this in lua? I could go that route, it's pretty new to me but I could probably wade through it if that's the only solution possible.

It would need to grab the target list in the area, and read an aura from targeting that person, as to not snowball a person who is already tagged.

In LUA, there's some code from the Halloween event and Easter?? In overachiever, which can play a sound when hovering over a player who meets the achieve criteria and hasn't been tagged.

Most cities would be great, but movement in cities would be a hassle. If it just looped between mailboxes, ah areas and banks, it might just be lucky enough to get the achieve.

It would be easier as a plugin, similar to a self buff, but on a targeted mob, casting when they are targeted and in range.

Movement overrides aren't fantastic with the current framelock system, so you also need a botbase that doesn't hard framelock.

It should be easy enough from using older plugins like the group player wand for hallows eve and the archives might have some of the other event plugins.

YMMV.
