target frame name length

hello everyone i was wondering if there is a line i can add into one of my current addons to make the targets name extend the amount of characters it shows.for example when i target something the name will go up to 10 characters and then show a "..." for the rest of it. was curious if there is a way to extend it past 10 characters to not show the "..." and instead show the full name without lowering the font?

That depends on whether you use a unit frame addon, or the default unit frames. And, no, I can't answer your question, but, this is something that has to be known for an answer to be given.

In that case, all I can suggest is that, perhaps, you should try another unit frame addon or go back to the default unit frames. Or you can find the piece of code that controls what you want and change it. The only problem with doing that, is that you'll have to change that piece of code every time the addon is updated - unless the update happens to fix it.

well i was curious to see if there was a script to modify the default frames sort of like how you can change the font and everything else.

There probably is, but, I don't know it unfortunately.
