Friendly and enemy nameplate colors

Guides UI and Macro
1

I tried typing this into an older thread but it wouldn’t let me, so I’ll post a new one about it.

I’m having the same issue again with the nameplate colors.

I started my first horde alt and the above macro is no longer working on that specific horde character. It still works fine on my ally toon. I’m no longer in the noob zone where you are not able to edit your interface. So that can’t be the issue.

Anyone know what the problem is? Do I need to set up a different macro for a horde character? I really hate the default color scheme of nameplates for my team being the same class colors as the enemy. I want my team to have blue or white as their color while my enemies are their class specific color.

This is what I typed in the macro:

/run C_CVar.SetCVar(“ShowClassColorFriendlyInNameplate”,0) C_CVar.SetCVar(“ShowClassColorInEnemyNameplate”,1)

Using this works for changing the nameplate color of your own faction to that single color, in this case the horde:

/console ShowClassColorInFriendlyNameplate 0

The macro isn’t faction specific. Toned’s solution is the same thing via a console command instead of SetCVar. If it’s not working, you’ve likely got an addon interfering with things.

Yea, I phrased it wrong.

But it should definitely work for your own side no matter if it’s horde or alliance. I’m guessing that’s what he wanted, to change the color of whatever side he is on while leaving the enemy side at default.
