Melee Range Addon
Anybody know if there's an addon which shows melee range of you and/or your target? It'd be nice if it was a half-circle graphic which showed on the ground in front of your character and your target.
I know that there is not one. Add-ons just plain can't directly impact the 3-d world in that manner.
The closest you might get is to have an add-on that displays a circle in the center of your screen of a certain size and then position your camera straight down at the correct zoom to make that static circle be the right size.

I'd imagine that it might be possible to make something like this to display a ring around your character's waste, assuming that the addon could access the camera scew and elevation data. If it can't (I'm honestly not certain if that data is accessable or not), the addon is impossible. If addons CAN access it, an estimated ring could be placed as an overlay on top of your character (in a similar manner to Gatherer's node-map) to indicate the estimated edges of melee range, but it would be only moderately accurate and fairly memory intensive. I'd say that even if it's possible, it's not ideal or viable.
So, by number 1, it's not possible. Number 2 I already explained, this sucker would eat memory like a virus.

Fixed.
I NEED one of these badly. All u really need for it is a green circle for 5 yards under ur character. should be pretty basic to make. = same as questhelper arrow. i get target circles on everything but myself and os i end up not close enough to swing roughly 15% of the time. SUCKS balls being huge and not being able to hit things that your animation is touching.
