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 clustering/stacking pins.
Features
- Automatic pinning of tracked objects within a configurable radius.
- Respects PinAssistant's existing redundancy distance settings.
- Configurable detection radius for flexible tracking.
Installation
You can install this patch in one of two ways:
Mod Manager (recommended)
- Use r2modman or another -compatible mod manager.
- Search for PinAssistant Radius Detection Patch in the Valheim section and install it.
- Make sure PinAssistant is also installed.
Manual
- Ensure you have PinAssistant installed.
- Download this patch.
- Place the files in your Valheim BepInEx/plugins folder.
- 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.
- RadiusDetectionRadius: 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.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
