UO.Track

ClassicUO / Basic IDE

Home · API · Commands

Shows or removes a local directional marker. Useful for marking a return location. It does not use the Tracking skill, find creatures or move the character.

Exact syntax

UO.Track() -> Unit
UO.Track(flag:Any) -> Unit
UO.Track(flagRaw:Any, x:Any, y:Any) -> Unit

Parameters

• flag / flagRaw — 0 removes the local marker; any other integer shows it. UO.Track() and UO.Track(1) mark the current character X/Y. UO.Track(1, x, y) marks the supplied point; UO.Track(0, x, y) ignores coordinates. No two-argument form is registered.
• x, y — Tile coordinates on the current map, not window pixels. No Z or map argument. Choose a valid point on your map; the command does not validate passability, plan a path or follow a moving target.

Returns

Unit: no value, movement success or Boolean is returned. Only the local marker changes.

Behavior

• Server arrows and the local marker are separate. Track(0) does not remove a server arrow. Without graphics the marker is retained and displayed when the view opens. Closing graphics retains markers; disconnect clears them. The server can move or remove its arrow. Coordinates do not prove reachability.
• Tile coordinates on the current map, not window pixels. No Z or map argument. Choose a valid point on your map; the command does not validate passability, plan a path or follow a moving target.
• 0 removes the local marker; any other integer shows it. UO.Track() and UO.Track(1) mark the current character X/Y. UO.Track(1, x, y) marks the supplied point; UO.Track(0, x, y) ignores coordinates. No two-argument form is registered.

Internal functions: from call to result

SessionCharacterPanels validates complete profile/arrow packets and stores records on the session thread. The bridge reads them without graphics. GetProfile sends 0xB8 and waits up to 3 seconds in 25 ms intervals for available text. Track updates its separate local marker. ProfileGump and QuestArrowGump display the same records. Arrows are excluded from GetGumpsCount server dialogs.
