Target Nameplate Indicator

Version: 1.11

by: Choonstertwo [More]

TargetNameplateIndicator attaches a texture to your target's nameplate to make them easier to spot.

Version 1.10 now includes twenty textures:

Red targeting reticule (the default texture, contributed by Dridzt of WoWI)
Red arrow (contributed by DohNotAgain of WoWI)
Neon versions of the reticule and arrow (contributed by mezmorizedck of Curse)
Two red inverted triple chevrons (contributed by OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI)
Red and green 3D Arrows (contributed by OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI)
Skull and crossbones (contributed by OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI)
Red concentric circles in the style of a target (contributed by OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI)
Red star with gold outline (contributed by OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI)
Neon green arrow with a red target (contributed by OligoFriends of Curse/WoWI)
Blue arrow (contributed by Imithat of WoWI)
Abstract blue arrow (contributed by Imithat of WoWI)
Gears of War logo (contributed by Imithat of WoWI)
Malthael (Diablo) logo (contributed by Imithat of WoWI)
Red arrow (contributed by Imithat of WoWI)
Skull with gas mask (contributed by Imithat of WoWI)
Abstract purple arrow (contributed by Imithat of WoWI)
Kite shield with sword and crossed spears/polearms (contributed by Imithat of WoWI)

The texture file, size and anchoring settings can be changed at the top of the core.lua file.

If you want to contribute a custom texture (that you own), simply leave a comment here or on Curse with the image embedded or a direct link to the image.

I recommend backing up your core.lua file if you make any changes to it so you can easily re-apply them after an update. Also back up any custom textures you add.

Thanks to Meneltel for posting this request, which inspired me to write TargetNameplateIndicator.

You could use a transparent rectangular texture with visible corners (like the one in the picture) and offset the indicator below the nameplate, but it would still be a static texture, it won't scale to the size of the mob itself.

I don't play WoW any more, but I'm still around and I'll attempt to fix most bugs in my AddOns.

Most of the target nameplate detection is done by LibNameplateRegistry, so I'm not sure whether this is a problem in my code or in LNR.

Can you try downloading the latest version of LNR and installing it as an AddOn? This may or may not fix the issue, let me know whether or not it does.

Bobbing might be possible, but the flashing arrow and advancing chevron might not be.

Keep in mind that WoW can only load static textures, it doesn't support GIFs or other animated images. All animation is done using five types of animation objects: Translation (moving things from point A to B), Path (a series of Translations that lets you move things along a curve), Rotation (rotating things), Scale (making things bigger or smaller) and Alpha (fading things in or out).
