Units in Target Bars

Open PunishedPineapple opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

When displaying distance values in the target bars, it probably makes sense that the number be followed by a 'y' or " yalms".

Honestly, I'm not sure if it's yalms or meters. The enmity overlay claims the distance is in meters. I'd rather remove the unit there, too, unless someone figures out which unit is correct and why.

They are all yalms, for what it's worth. I don't think units are necessarily needed here either, though.

I'm 99% sure that every distance in the game is in yalms (excluding flavor text/lore and any distance derived from the scaled map coordinates presented to the user). Anything computed from coordinates would just naturally be yalms unless you scaled it. Actually, the cactbot hunt radar overlay had distance units labeled incorrectly too the last time that I looked at it.

Anyway, having a measurement presented without units just feels...wrong, regardless of whether it's the universally-used unit (especially when it's presented right next to other numbers). Not going to push on it though if everyone else feels that a bare number is more appropriate. Was just something that really stuck out like a sore thumb to me.
