World Map Icon Addon Update

Hello everyone,

In the past I enlisted the help of this forum to make a custom addon that would hide flight path icons (and a few others I've added) from the world map. An awesome member named Phanx wrote it up for me free of charge, and I've used it ever since! I recently returned from a WoW hiatus and it seems to have broken somehow. I'm no addon coder by any means; could you help me update it again so it'll keep functioning? :)

I have an addon that does the main task of hiding the icons, and I also have a macro that scans the world map I'm in for landmark POI numbers. The problem I'm having now is that the icons aren't being hidden, and the macro returns a list of nil.

This is what the addon looks like currently:

Code:

hooksecurefunc("WorldMapFrame_Update", function()

    for i = 1, GetNumMapLandmarks() do

        local _, name, _, textureIndex = GetMapLandmarkInfo(i)

        if textureIndex == 0 or textureIndex == 5 or textureIndex == 6 or textureIndex == 46 or textureIndex == 48 or textureIndex == 178 or textureIndex == 179 or textureIndex == 180 or textureIndex == 188 or textureIndex == 194 

then

            local poi = _G["WorldMapFramePOI"..i]

            if poi then

                -- The "if poi then" check is probably not needed, but better safe than sorry!

                poi:Hide()

            end

        end

    end

end)

And the macro is as follows:

Code:

/run for i = 1, GetNumMapLandmarks() do local _, name, _, textureIndex = GetMapLandmarkInfo(i) print(i, textureIndex, name) end

I'm guessing the POI or map system got changed in some way.
For reference, the initial thread request: http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=44204
And once last year, when it needed updating: http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=54004

Any ideas what I'd need to fix?

After making a copy, try changing:

Code:

local _, name, _, textureIndex = GetMapLandmarkInfo(i)

too

Code:

local landmarkType, name = C_WorldMap.GetMapLandmarkInfo(i)

and replace occurences of textureIndex with landmarkType

The macro becomes

Code:

/run for i = 1, GetNumMapLandmarks() do local landmarkType, name = C_WorldMap.GetMapLandmarkInfo(i) print(i, landmarkType, name) end

I'm not sure landmarkType is a direct correlation or can be mapped to what was the textureIndex but you're no worse off ;)

These are the landmarkType used in the WorldMapFrame (there may be more)

LE_MAP_LANDMARK_TYPE_TAMER = 1
LE_MAP_LANDMARK_TYPE_GOSSIP = 3
LE_MAP_LANDMARK_TYPE_TAXINODE = 5
LE_MAP_LANDMARK_TYPE_VIGNETTE = 6
LE_MAP_LANDMARK_TYPE_INVASION = 8
LE_MAP_LANDMARK_TYPE_DUNGEON_ENTRANCE = 9
LE_MAP_LANDMARK_TYPE_CONTRIBUTION = 10
LE_MAP_LANDMARK_TYPE_MAP_LINK = 11

That did it! Thank you, Fizzlemizz! :D Seems I don't need a separate entry for neutral, horde and alliance flight points anymore.

This forum has been incredibly helpful, I can't thank you enough. <3
