CVars set via addon reset when entering Interface options

Hi,

I'm currently setting CVars via AddOn (nameplate-related to be specific). Unfortunately, the CVars reset whenever I go to Interface options... I tried resetting my Interface, that didn't fix the issue.

Any1 has an idea?

Edit: NamePlateVerticalScale always resets to its default value by InterfaceOptionsPanel.lua

Here's the code of InterfaceOptionsPanel.lua:

Code:

function InterfaceOptionsLargerNamePlate_OnLoad(self)

        function self:GetValue()

                if self.value then

                        return self.value;

                end

                if math.abs(tonumber(GetCVar("NamePlateHorizontalScale")) - self.normalHorizontalScale) < .001 and

                        math.abs(tonumber(GetCVar("NamePlateVerticalScale")) - self.normalVerticalScale) < .001 and

                        math.abs(tonumber(GetCVar("NamePlateClassificationScale")) - self.normalClassificationScale) < .001 then

                        return "0";

                end

                return "1";

        end



        function self.setFunc(value)

                if value == "1" then

                        SetCVar("NamePlateHorizontalScale", self.largeHorizontalScale);

                        SetCVar("NamePlateVerticalScale", self.largeVerticalScale);

                        SetCVar("NamePlateClassificationScale", self.largeClassificationScale);

                else

                        SetCVar("NamePlateHorizontalScale", self.normalHorizontalScale);

                        SetCVar("NamePlateVerticalScale", self.normalVerticalScale);

                        SetCVar("NamePlateClassificationScale", self.normalClassificationScale);

                end

                NamePlateDriverFrame:UpdateNamePlateOptions();

        end



        self.type = CONTROLTYPE_CHECKBOX;

        self.defaultValue = "0";

        BlizzardOptionsPanel_RegisterControl(self, self:GetParent():GetParent());

end

Unfortunately, I got no clue how to prevent that.

InterfaceOptionsLargerNamePlate_OnLoad() just sets up those functions to run when you click on the button. :setFunc() gets called by InterfaceOptionsPanel_CheckButton_Update() through InterfaceOptionsPanel_CheckButton_OnClick(). This is also called from InterfaceOptionsPanel_CancelControl() under certain circumstances.

The easiest method would be to nuke :setFunc(). I would also advise disabling the button if this is to be in a published addon.

Lua Code:

InterfaceOptionsNamesPanelUnitNameplatesMakeLarger.setFunc=nop;--   Overwrite with Blizzard-provided NoOp function
InterfaceOptionsNamesPanelUnitNameplatesMakeLarger.value="0";--     Set our own value to unchecked (see custom :GetValue())
BlizzardOptionsPanel_CheckButton_Disable(InterfaceOptionsNamesPanelUnitNameplatesMakeLarger);-- Disable button

Thank you! That resolved it.

The addon is just for private use and just working with CVars n stuff, just to make sure that every single character has the same settings etc. :)
