PinAssistant Radius Detection Patch

Introduction

This is a patch to add additional functionality to the PinAssistant mod by WxAaRoNxW.

PinAssistant provides a user interface to select in-game objects to track. When a player directly looks at a tracked object, a pin is automatically applied to the map.

This patch builds on that functionality by adding automatic detection of tracked objects within a configurable radius around the player. When a tracked object is detected within the specified radius, a pin is automatically applied to the map. The patch respects PinAssistant's redundancy distance settings to prevent duplicate pins.

Features

• Automatic pinning of tracked objects within a configurable radius.
• Respects PinAssistant's existing redundancy distance settings.
• Configurable detection radius for flexible tracking.

Fixes

• With this patch installed, PinAssistant will be compatible with PlanBuild -- PlanBuild no longer 'blocks' PinAssistant's UI from activating.
• Modifying the colors of existing pins will now update immeditely when changed via PinAssistant's UI.

Installation

You can install this patch in one of two ways:

Mod Manager (recommended)

• Use r2modman or another Thunderstore-compatible mod manager.
• Search for PinAssistant Radius Detection Patch in the Valheim section and install it.
• Make sure PinAssistant is also installed.

Manual

1. Ensure you have PinAssistant installed.
2. Download this patch from Thunderstore.
3. Place the files in your Valheim BepInEx/plugins folder.
4. Launch Valheim.

Configuration

• RadiusDetectionEnabled: Turns the radius detection functionality on or off. When off, returns to the default behavior of PinAssistant.
• RadiusDetectionInterval: Time (in seconds) between automatic radius detection scans.
• UsePlayerExploreRadius: true/false. Radius detection scans will detect objects within the player's current line-of-sight/map exploration radius. This would be adjusted by certain mods.
• DetectionRadius: If not using the player's current map exploration radius, this sets the radius (in meters) around the player within which tracked objects are automatically detected and pinned.
• RadiusDetectionToggleKey: A keyboard shortcut to enable/disable the radius detection patch for PinAssistant.
• The patch uses PinAssistant's redundancy distance settings to avoid creating duplicate pins.
