Suggestion for HB Plugin API

[Beowulfe]

Hey guys,

It's possible I've missed a function that does this somewhere (if so, someone sharing it would be lovely ), but if not, is it possible to get a function that acts similarly to Styx.Logic.Pathing.Navigator.CanNavigateFully(), but also returns the total distance if it follows the selected path?

At the moment, we can obviously calculate point-to-point distances, but a point can be five feet from you and still have a navigatable distance of thousands of units, so our ability to accurately determine how long it's going to take to get from point-to-point is somewhat limited.

Again, it's possible I missed a function somewhere, but if not, it would be an extremely handy function to have!

so, since you cant, at least to my knowledge, what are you trying to make that would need this?

Well, to give one example, if we had the ability to use that, it would be fairly simple to setup a plugin for HB that would compare the distance to your current destination with the distance if you used the nearest flight path (or even set up the option to use your hearthstone for fast travel in cases where it would cut the distance down significantly). A plugin like that would increase the overall exp/min on questing profiles (grinding too, but especially questing) significantly.

I was going to set the plugin up but was disappointed to find that the function I requested didn't exist.
