You can move it by shift-clicking and dragging
It can also be scaled with the mouse wheel (while pressing shift)

MoveAnything (16.0.5) is updated for the TalkingHeadFrame
This does not work with ElvUI, which already supports moving it with /moveui

/th 0.8 ----- sets the scale to 0.80 (can be between 0.50 to 2.00)
/th reset -- resets the position and scale

v1.1.7 [2016.09.09]

Made it click-through when not pressing a modifier key
Add Blizzard_TalkingHeadUI dependency for when loaded manually
Now also works with the /th slash command

Yes layout-local.txt is character specific. Hmm maybe sth in the .toc file, I don't know.

Btw I just wanted to let you know, your version was totally fine before.

But I can't get following code to work, and have no clue why
It gets saved to layout-local.txt, but the frame position is not being set the next time it loads
https://github.com/Ketho/MoveTalking...alkingHead.lua

Lua Code:

local THF = TalkingHeadFrame
THF:SetMovable(true)
THF:SetUserPlaced(true)
 
THF.ignoreFramePositionManager = true
        
THF:RegisterForDrag("LeftButton")
THF:SetScript("OnDragStart", THF.StartMoving)
THF:SetScript("OnDragStop", THF.StopMovingOrSizing)

Honestly speaking, I'd still prefer using the SavedVariables though if SetUserPlaced is character-specific(?)

Thanks, that works. I still had to check ADDON_LOADED for when the (Edit) SavedVars is loaded though, but it's LoadOnDemand now in the latest alpha

Previously I couldn't get the slash command working when loaded on demand, but now it seems to work...

That is only a problem if you apply your setpoint/setsize after the layout-local.txt has been read.

I'm not sure how to do this, can I just call TalkingHeadFrame:SetUserPlaced(true) and omit the TalkingHeadFrame:SetUserPlaced.ignoreFramePositionManager part?
I shouldn't have to call SetPoint and SetPosition then, right? If that would then be handled by the Blizzard frame position manager

It's saving in layout-local.txt correctly for me, but it doesn't seem to set the position once the LoadOnDemand frame is loaded and it being character-specific is kind of a let down

The UI scale didn't take into consideration the camera distance. I have this or had this issue with my unit frames until it was updated for legion. If you want, take a look at pitbull unit frames and their background module to see how they changed 3D portraits

I looked into PitBull 4.0 for Legion Beta, and noticed they used SetPortraitZoom, SetPosition, SetModelScale which possibly could fix it

But I did some quick testing just now (with default/lowest/highest UI scale), and couldn't reproduce it anymore with scale 0.5 - 0.7

(I did make sure to remove anything to do with the camera in MoveTalkingHead, before trying to reproduce)

Did Blizzard maybe fix something or is it just me? If so, I could remove the extra code again
Only tested with Lord Jorach Ravenholdt though, instead of any tauren

It will be hassle to find out ... It could be tested with v1.0 at a tauren, or remove any SetCameraDistance calls

But is there any documentation about models clipping against their camera during animations? Surely someone must have investigated it

rIngameModelViewer doesn't have this problem when I zoom in on the model, but then against it doesn't do animations

Okay, thanks for testing

So it wasn't the UI Scale setting after all? Still a bit confused since I couldn't reproduce with scale 0.9

I might update it sometime with a bit more refined camera distances, but it indeed looks like it requires a lot of work just to adjust the model's camera for all the bigger models when scaled down. Like tauren and instance/raid bosses

Sorry for the delay. I haven't rolled a rogue yet, since I wanted to enjoy the pre-quest on my priest first

I sure did notice a LOT of strange things happening with the model when it's resized. But did it also happen after you did a /reload or relog? Would be nice to know

Thanks for reporting and the image, I don't have a lot of experience with the model frame, but I will try to look into it

Is there a place where I can reproduce the problem easily, like any quest with that 3D portrait that I can abandon and accept?

All my characters are still level 100, so it will take some time before I can get there
