[Plugin] Auto Findle's Loot-A-Rang
DESCRIPTION:
Having tried another Loot-A-Rang plugin and finding it a bit unreliable, I decided to make one of my own.
I noted that the other plugin had trouble while using Questing bot, and failing to cast Loot-A-Rang before the bot was moving to the next point of interest or running up to the corpse to loot by hand.
This is due to the fact that it's written to cast out of combat. Problem is it sometimes takes several moments for in game combat status to fade after combat has completed. This is an in-game issue.
My plugin does not rely on combat status to cast. There are checks to mitigate Loot-A-Rang cast during combat & will not be used while channeling or casting.
In any case, Loot-A-Rang is now much more successful before the bot is moving again. I would not say 100 percent but close. There are times where Questing bot will completely override loot behavior and will not allow this plugin to pulse before loot is already gone. Your personal lag issues can also reduce it's effectiveness.
Use it or no, it's FREE so don't complain
Suggestions are always welcome. Especially those that include the code to implement them. 
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1) Recommend setting "Loot Radius" to 40 in HB Settings, as this is Loot-A-Rang max range. However the plugin will move in to loot if range to any loot is beyond 40, so don't worry you'll miss some lootables.
2) Not recommended for use while raiding. Only for supervised questing, solo grinding and the like.
INSTALLATION:
Take the "Auto Findle's Loot-A-Rang.zip" file and unzip it in your folder "Honorbuddy/Plugins/"
Once that is done you should have the file path "Honorbuddy/Plugins/Auto Findle's Loot-A-Rang/Auto Findle's Loot-A-Rang.cs"
KNOWN ISSUES:
1) Will get stuck trying to loot a "Unique" quest item, when you can only hold one of them in your bags, and several have dropped. (ex: OOX-22/FE Distress Beacon)
2) Line of site can become an issue in some situations.
UPDATES:
v1.1 - Removed cast on lost target. Works even more effectively while using Questing bot.
v1.2 - By request, this version has no movement - will not move to loot when out of range.
