--configuration notes:
--***install vnavmesh (veyn) might still be a compile it yourself situation
--pull and compile from -> https://github.com/awgil/ffxiv_navmesh/
--you can't run this script without it
--
--***install bossmod  (veyn)
--add to dalamud -> https://puni.sh/api/repository/veyn
--	BEFORE joining group
--	set it to ai mode on
--	click follow to turn it on
--  this way it won't try to follow the group leader
--
--***install rotationsolver (croizat)
--add to dalamud -> https://puni.sh/api/repository/croizat
--	uncheck autoration disable on area change
--  configure a key to turn it on or make a hotkey and turn it on
--
--***install Something Need Doing (croizat)
--add to dalamud -> https://puni.sh/api/repository/croizat
--you can't run this script without it

--some things missing:
--*actually doing something other than spamming echo when the deest is super far or target is defaulted to 1,1,1 (i think thats what the getraw from snd does?)
--*looking for interaction points and navmeshing to them if they are within some yalms
--*maybe when not in combat check for interaction points that are close by and on same z plane within tolerance of like 3 yalms then path to it?
--*optionally filter the entire thing with some area number white list in an array :p
