To access the NPC list and other settings, type “ /npcscan”. NPCScan's main options window can be accessed from the Interface Options menu. In the unlikely case that you do find a tracked NPC while fighting, the button or buttons will appear after you leave combat. Note: These buttons cannot be shown during combat.
You can also bind a key to trigger the newest button, in cases where multiple buttons are spawned.
When clicked, the targeting button tries to target the NPC it depicts. When an NPC is found, NPCScan alerts you by playing a loud and distinctive sound, making your screen pulse red, and displaying a Targeting Button for every NPC that is found. To access this feature, just set a keybind under the Key Bindings->AddOns->NPCScan->Targeting Macro section. This only attempts a search each time it is triggered it is not a continuous search. Each time it is pressed, the key binding will trigger a /targetexact for every tracked NPC in the current zone you are in, in addition to any custom NPC additions. NPCScan includes a key binding that will trigger a dynamically-generated targeting macro. To use this feature with any reliability, the Interface->Names->Always Show Nameplates option must be turned on from the WoW Game Menu. Once an NPC is found by one of these methods, an on screen alert is displayed and an audio alert is played.Īlerts will be triggered whenever a nameplate is created, if that nameplate belongs to one of the tracked NPCs. NPCScan helps you find NPCs by scanning nameplates, minimap vignettes, and mouseover targets, with an optional dynamic targeting keybinding.
