Hide talking head.

Hi, the addon, https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/hidetalkinghead doesn't seem to work for me.

It gives off the error that the function it is trying to execute doesn't exist.

Does anyone know of a solution to hiding the dialogue popups?

If you could give the name of the function or better yet the actual error text, it might help. MoveAnything might be another alternative but comes with a bigger footprint.

The error simply says that the function the addon is calling does not exist.

That's it, so maybe the addon is out of date? Idk.

Ketho, the author, frequents these forums. Perhaps posting the error would help.

The error is:

Code:

1x Tweaks\HideTalkingHead.lua:1: hooksecurefunc(): TalkingHeadFrame_PlayCurrent is not a function

[C]: in function `hooksecurefunc'

Tweaks\HideTalkingHead.lua:1: in main chunk

The code is:

Lua Code:

hooksecurefunc("TalkingHeadFrame_PlayCurrent", function()
    TalkingHeadFrame:Hide()
end)

Having had a look I don't see anything wrong. If you start the game and type

Code:

/run TalkingHead_LoadUI()

then

Code:

/run hooksecurefunc("TalkingHeadFrame_PlayCurrent", function() TalkingHeadFrame:Hide() end)

it works fine as HideTalkingHead loads with the Blizzard TalkingHeadUI.

I'm not sure what "Tweaks\" is doing the the path to the .lua file, check that

Code:

## LoadOnDemand: 1

## LoadWith: Blizzard_TalkingHeadUI

have not beed removed from the .toc file.

Ah, I see what happened.

I have my own lua/toc file filled with small 3-10 line UI tweaks so I don't have 20 addons that are 1kb in my addon folder; I thought I could simply copy/paste the code into my lua, not knowing there were dependencies in the toc.

My mistake.

No real gain, and you've just proven at least one reason why it's not a great idea.

I do the same thing. I have a "Frankenstein's monster" addon that's just a collection of my personal tweaks and stolen code from addons small enough to be absorbed into it. I can recall at least two addons that are now literally one line of code in my personal addon.

The difference between my method and yours is that I don't blame the original code, or the author, when I make mistakes.
