Addon Dev Question - Minimap Notes

[Renew]

Hey guys!

I cant find the code for creation/displaying of notes(herbs etc) in the minimap...where in the FrameXML can i find that?

There isn't any.

Any addon that creates minimap icons/notes needs a code for:

• creating those nodes
• updating their position based on:
  • your player position
  • current zone
  • map zoom level
  • probably something else too
• deleting those nodes

You could use astrolabe library to do that (addon called Questie is using this btw; rev17 if iirc) or copy some Gatherer addon code for your own purposes. Good luck!

Let me know if you find anything on this topic then. I was researching same thing not too long ago and I could only think that WoW just doesn't make those things public and doing everything under the hood.
