Info window

XsiM · 12-17-09, 07:30 PM

Hello, its there a way to make the info window (the window that appears to the mid left side and can be moved when using /gui movers) appear on mouse rollover similar to the /gui tooltip mouse command? I have spend about an hour reading other forum topics and researching the mod slash commands and am unable to find how one can do this if it is possible. Thanks

Are you talking about the tooltip window that appears when you mouse over a player or a mob, etc? I'm not sure how you would make it appear on "mouseover" because it is only visible when you mouse is over an object that has a tooltip associated with it.

Yes, I am talking about the one that shows up when you mouse over objects like the mailbox, other players and NPCs. I would like to know if it can be set up to mouse over like the tooltip does (the one that shows info on your spells)

I'm not sure what you mean as that is what the tooltip does currently. Both the spell info tooltip and the normal info tooltip display when you mouse over spells ( in spell info tooltips case ) and objects ( in normal info tooltips case ).

Maybe an example of what is happening and what you would like to happen would help.

Yeah -- I'm really confused on what you're asking for... the tooltip on the left side only appears when you mouse over an item in the 3D (that's how Blizz designed it), so it would be impossible to make it only show when you mouse over the tooltip since the tooltip only shows when you're mousing over something else in the 3D world... obviously, you can't mouse over two places at the same time.

Hrmm your right blizz nvr designed the normal info tooltip to appear on mouse when rollover. For some reason i thought it was. But it appears at the bottom right corner of the default blizz UI. So, i'm going crazy lol. Thanks for the support and sorry to have wasted your time.

Yeah, what appears at the bottom right corner of the normal Blizz display is the tooltip. nUI has moved it because that overlaps the information panel at the lower right of the display. You can move it wherever you like by using the command '/nui movers' and then dragging the anchor where you want it.

nUI also defaults the tooltip to anchor to the owner frame when there is one. This means that when you mouse over the action bar, the tooltip appears next to the action rather than on the left side of the screen. However, when you mouse over a mob or mailbox, etc., in the 3D world, the tooltip appears on the left side because there is no "frame" it belongs too like an action button or inventory item slot. You can make all of your tooltips appear on the left using '/nui tooltip fixed'

On the other hand, if you want the tooltip to always show where the mouse is, you can use '/nui tooltip mouse' and, lastly, if you want to the tooltip to appear in the lower right like it does in the Blizz UI, you can use '/nui tooltip default'

I wonder if he meant have it under pointer while he was hovering over then item, similar to how it would look like when viewing a spell. so targeting a person mouse is on their head bottom left of tool tip is anchored to top of mouse, but thats how i took it.

TipTac lets you move tooltips anchor; size etc..

However i dont know if it can be integrated into a panel addon; since i'm pretty sure you can't hide the tooltip unless that panels is viewable..

that'd be the only problem i see with making an info window.

You could go one step further and download tipbuddy/spelltips/tinytip to expand the info on tooltips for such window pane. but again i dont think you can all together hide the tooltip unless that panel is shown.. then again i may be wrong i dunno.. lol

Thats actually what I think he meant as well can't remember if nUI is able to anchor unit tooltips to the mouse. I know tiptac does.

nUI does not at this time. That's something I'm looking to fix in nUI6.
