PullSize

Real-time enemy count for World of Warcraft: Midnight, displayed on screen as a single number.

What it does

Shows a count of hostile enemies near you, color-coded by configurable breakpoints.

Why it exists

Most addons that count enemies use range-based detection - check every nearby unit, see if it's within X yards. Patch 12.0 made that approach unworkable. UnitDistanceSquared returns 0 for nameplate units, plate:GetCenter() throws "Can't measure restricted regions", and aura data is tainted in ways that break a lot of older tools.

PullSize counts visible hostile nameplates instead. The "radius" is controlled by the nameplateMaxDistance CVar, which the addon optionally manages for you on instance entry/exit.

Known limitations

PullSize counts what your nameplates show. That has consequences worth knowing about:

• The count is bounded by your nameplate distance. If your CVar is set to 25 yards, enemies past 25 yards don't count even if they're attacking you. This is by design; configure the distance to match your role.
• Pets, totems, and other non-attackable units don't count. Only hostile units that you can attack.
• Pressing V (or otherwise hiding nameplates) zeros the count. PullSize counts plates; no plates means no count.
• Nameplates can persist in combat past the CVar distance. WoW's own behavior: once a plate is shown, it stays visible while in combat regardless of distance changes. In long fights with a lot of movement, the count can briefly include enemies you've moved away from.
