The problem is that you have no mouse cursor to close the lua error window when trying to watch it and hitting escape closes the window plus the cinematic lol. Wish I would have copied the lua error report but totally forgot to do so, will get it next time. Again not really a huge issue just thought I would let you know.

I've modified mods before, so I didn't really learn much xD

Also, here's an alternate version of the modification.

Code:

	local name = UnitName("mouseover")
	local level = UnitLevel("mouseover")
	local guild = GetGuildInfo("mouseover")
	local PVP = UnitIsPVP("mouseover")
	local AFK = UnitIsAFK("mouseover")
	local DND = UnitIsDND("mouseover")
	local prefix = ""
	local xiferp = ""
	local sub = " ["
	local sun = "]"
	local bus = ""
	local nus = ""
	local dliug = ""
	local isFriend = UnitIsFriend("player","mouseover")
	local classi = ""
	
	if ( UnitClassification("mouseover") == "worldboss" ) then classi = " World Boss" end
	if ( UnitClassification("mouseover") == "elite" ) then classi = " Elite" end
	if ( UnitClassification("mouseover") == "rare" ) then classi = " Rare" end
	if ( UnitClassification("mouseover") == "rareelite" ) then classi = " Rare Elite" end
	if PVP and not UnitIsFriend("player","mouseover") then xiferp = "<KILL> " end
	if guild then dliug = GetGuildInfo("mouseover") end
	if guild then bus = " <" end
	if guild then nus = ">" end
	if AFK then prefix = "<AFK> " end
	if DND then prefix = "<DND> " end
	
	self.text:SetTextColor(getcolor())
	self.text:SetText(xiferp..prefix..name..sub..level..classi..sun..bus..dliug..nus)

This makes NPCS look like this instead of the previous:

NPC Name [Level Rare/Elite/Rare Elite/World Boss]

I've been working on modifying this, not to rerelease it, but to fit it to my needs. Maybe however you'd like to add flagged status, level, and rare/elite classification. Would be awesome =]

Here's my current solution (I realize I used roundabout ways to achieve what I wanted, but it's better than nothing =P):

Code:

	local name = UnitName("mouseover")
	local level = UnitLevel("mouseover")
	local guild = GetGuildInfo("mouseover")
	local PVP = UnitIsPVP("mouseover")
	local AFK = UnitIsAFK("mouseover")
	local DND = UnitIsDND("mouseover")
	local prefix = ""
	local xiferp = ""
	local sub = " ["
	local sun = "]"
	local bus = ""
	local nus = ""
	local dliug = ""
	local isFriend = UnitIsFriend("player","mouseover")
	local classi = ""
	local clq = ""
	local clw = ""
	
	if ( UnitClassification("mouseover") == "worldboss" ) then classi = "World Boss" end
	if ( UnitClassification("mouseover") == "elite" ) then classi = "Elite" end
	if ( UnitClassification("mouseover") == "rare" ) then classi = "Rare" end
	if ( UnitClassification("mouseover") == "rareelite" ) then classi = "Rare Elite" end
	if classi == "Rare" then clq = "[" end
	if classi == "Rare" then clw = "] " end
	if classi == "Rare Elite" then clq = "[" end
	if classi == "Rare Elite" then clw = "] " end
	if classi == "Elite" then clq = "[" end
	if classi == "Elite" then clw = "] " end
	if classi == "World Boss" then clq = "[" end
	if classi == "World Boss" then clw = "] " end
	if PVP and not UnitIsFriend("player","mouseover") then xiferp = "<KILL> " end
	if guild then dliug = GetGuildInfo("mouseover") end
	if guild then bus = " <" end
	if guild then nus = ">" end
	if AFK then prefix = "<AFK> " end
	if DND then prefix = "<DND> " end
	
	self.text:SetTextColor(getcolor())
	self.text:SetText(xiferp..prefix..clq..classi..clw..name..sub..level..sun..bus..dliug..nus)

This makes it appear like:

<PVP (if the unit is not friendly and is flagged)><DND/AFK> Name [Level] <Guild Name>

NPCs will simply show

[Classification if rare or better] NPC Name [Level]

(Cleaned it up a bit, now it would look more like this: [Rare] Bjarn [Level]

ckramme A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 170 File comments: 163 Uploads: 1	Recently started using this and it is actually quite useful not to have an entire tooltip at the mouse as I used to. I like the level+classification idea. One thing I'd like to see added was maybe their target. Along the lines of (80) Awsumally -> You Its the one thing I miss in PvP.

No, I am asking and you are providing me with the coding
This is the Code I found, but how do you get a symbol
"local classification = UnitClassification(unit);"
or is it more like this?
" if ( UnitClassification("target") == "worldboss" ) then
-- If unit is a world boss show skull regardless of level
TargetLevelText:Hide();
TargetHighLevelTexture:Show();
end"
I am cold?

" if ( UnitClassification("target") == "elite" ) then
-- If unit is a world boss show + regardless of level
TargetLevelText:Sow();
TargetHighLevelTexture:Show();
end"
or did I just break it?

That's so cool, but sorry I forgot, about the Elite symbol, whats the code for elite and was thinking some like this "(80+) nightcracker
"+" being the symbol for elite

Where did you learn to code LUA files?

I only wanted to hide the name so I would know that it is the target

Threat is not included since if you want to hide your target, why the heck do you want to know the threat you have on other units? I won't add this, not even for request, I'm sorry.

Ok, can you show me the code for "(80) Nightcracker" instead
also, is the threat thing impossible or can you show me code for it?
or the code for hiding the target name
