Tooltip code displaying on unwanted tooltips.

[Lesteryoung]

The following code was written by Phanx and I found it here on the forums. It does two things, adds class color to the name of the player on the default tooltip, and adds a "Target:" line at the bottom.

The issue I have is that the "Target:" is showing up on all tooltips, and I only want to modify the tooltip you get on player/npc mouseover.

local SET_TEXT = TARGET .. ": |cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r"
local MATCH_TEXT = "^" .. TARGET
 
local last
GameTooltip:HookScript("OnUpdate", function(self)
    local name = UnitName("mouseovertarget")
    if not name or name == "" then return end
    last = name
 
    local r, g, b
    if UnitIsPlayer("mouseovertarget") then
        local _, class = UnitClass("mouseovertarget")
        local color = (CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS or RAID_CLASS_COLORS)[class]
        r, g, b = color.r, color.g, color.b
    else
        r, g, b = GameTooltip_UnitColor("mouseovertarget")
    end
 
    for i = 2, self:NumLines() do
        local line = _G["GameTooltipTextLeft"..i]
        if strfind(line:GetText() or "", MATCH_TEXT) then
            line:SetFormattedText(SET_TEXT, r * 255, g * 255, b * 255, name)
            return self:Show()
        end
    end
    self:AddLine(format(SET_TEXT, r * 255, g * 255, b * 255, name))
    self:Show()
end)
 
GameTooltip:HookScript("OnTooltipSetUnit", function(GameTooltip)
    local _, unit = GameTooltip:GetUnit()
    if UnitIsPlayer(unit) then
        local _, class = UnitClass(unit)
        local color = class and (CUSTOM_CLASS_COLORS or RAID_CLASS_COLORS)[class]
        if color then
            local text = GameTooltipTextLeft1:GetText()
            GameTooltipTextLeft1:SetFormattedText("|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r", color.r * 255, color.g * 255, color.b * 255, text:match("|cff\x\x\x\x\x\x(.+)|r") or text)
        end
    end
end)

BUMP - I guess "GameTooltip:HookScript" applies to all tooltips? Anyone know how to keep it localized to the mouseover target tooltip in the bottom corner.

Check that the unit == "mouseover" and return if it's not.

There seems to be a bug where your "mouseover" can get locked as a valid unit even when you stop mousing over them (UnitName("mouseovertarget") continues returning your old mouseover's target until you mouse over the world frame).

You can see how to reproduce it here.

The script can be "fixed" by changing

if not name or name == "" then return end

to

if not name or name == "" or not self:GetUnit() then return end

Thank you very much, your edit fixed the issue for me.
