when i’m spreading sunfire/moonfire i’m getting an overlap where the UI is trying to teach me what my sunfire does, and it’s making me unable to click another nameplate because it’s attempting to click a tooltip that has no function when clicked
this is yet another cyst that came with the dragonflight UI overhaul and i don’t want to download a nameplate addon nor do i want to spend hour after hour searching for a solution. every addon i’ve tried will either completely redesign the nameplates or remove the debuffs entirely (while still keeping the mouseover-tooltips, and thus the problem at hand)
the base UI LOOKS amazing but it’s functionality has been destroyed from simple problems that seemingly have no fix
it’s a functionality that exists within the base UI as of dragonflight and makes target swapping a major issue for no reason other than “just because”
in times like these in previous xpacs, there were scripts or cvar commands to disable such a thing, kinda like the action-bar gryphons. etc. this is what i’m searching for
I just looked an my tooltips for the buffs are in a similar position, so it might be default. (I can’t say for sure that an old addon didn’t at some point change a cVar, but I couldn’t find anything in AdvancedInterfaceOptions cVar browser that looked like it would affect it.)
I actually had to go in game to see where the tooltip was, though, as it hasn’t been causing me problems with clicking stuff, so I had no idea where it was popping up.
Outside of addons, you can try seeing if you can play with settings to improve the situation. (As I said, I haven’t had an issue with them, and I use mouseover macros on nameplates for dps all the time.)
In the options settings, I have larger nameplates turned off, and have the nameplate motion type as stacking. So, try messing around with those settings. If you search nameplate in the AdvancedInterfaceOptions cVar browser, there may be some other stuff to play with. The overlapH and overlapV can be used to adjust stacking distance, and the various topinset options adjust how high up on the screen nameplates will go. (Your screenshot looks like you’re may be set to a higher percentage than the default which will squish them lower onto your screen — which might have happened when you were playing around with nameplate addons.)
what you just linked alters the HUD tooltip which is by default anchored to the bottom right corner of the base UI, luckily i was unable to undo that change to my ui seeing as i was stupid enough to run it as a script
what i’m referencing is SPELL TOOLTIPS overtop of an enemy nameplate
this cancer of the UI causes slow target swapping because the toolip isn’t click-through
SOMEBODY can give me a solution to this problem that isn’t “download plater” there are so many threads asking about this very problem and NO SOLUTIONS
so now the question, what’s the script to make them click-through or completely disable the functionality of the tooltip altogether?
this is a relatively new problem and in 12 years of playing dot-focused classes this has never been an issue, nor have i ever had to use more than the default Ui
surely someone can sympathize with the amount of dots i have to avoid clicking in the heat of m+ and formulate a copy-paste script
Not trying to be a necro but I’m having this issue and can’t find a solution. I don’t use any UI addons and I wasn’t able to find the options in game. Anyone have a solution 7 months later?
