Disabling Spell Alerts Only For One Character

I’m wanting to disable spell alerts for one specific character, my Frost Mage. I’ve got a couple of WeakAuras to show spell procs and would like to remove the floaty ice graphics that are redundant and just clutter the screen. I can go into options and set the opacity to 0 but this does so globally. Is there a way to do it just for the Mage? Maybe by setting a line in her character option settings file?

Dunno if it’s character specific or not…
/run SetCVar("lossOfControl", 0)

Thanks, but won’t that turn off the Loss of Control alerts rather than the spell alerts? Aka Blizzard’s built-in version of WeakAuras for spell proc alerts.

Yes, yes it will; misread.

Alright, so I’m guessing my only workaround for this would be to add the command to set Spell Alert opacity to 0 on that character, and then set it back to normal on all my others. I can do this with their individual settings file, so the option gets changed back and forth and that’s fine. But, entering any command into a character’s settings file that wasn’t written there by the game itself only stays there for one login. The command gets accepted and then cleared, thus making my workaround… not work after one login each.

Is there any way to stop the game from clearing stuff from the individual WTF files?

Just write your own addon to initialize the value you want on login.

That or you could write a toggle macro.
