I am not sure if this will work for everyone, but it did for me.
I am running Threatplates as an FYI.
I ran first…/run SetCVar(“showArenaEnemyFrames”, 1) ReloadUI()
Second…/run SetCVar(“nameplatePlayerMaxDistance”, 60)
Tested in BG and the enemy nameplates were working again.

Can confirm - this works. Must log out and Turn off ALL addons, then log back in to run this script. Works instantly. Then just log out and turn addons back on. problem solved.

/run SetCVar(“nameplatePlayerMaxDistance”, 60) weird think is i just copied that from somewhere else and it worked. it looks exactly the same

28

i manually typed it in and it worked…

no copy paste from anywhere did anything.

Edit: seems to be per character… :dracthyr_cry:

99% of the time, it’s that you pasted a space in front of the first slash so it just put the text into your /say

Try it again. Make sure you don’t copy a space or type a space into the box before pasting it. It works. I guarantee it.

A sign that you’re having an issue with a space is if you see the text end up in the chat window as if you said it.

Didn’t work for me still :confused: This sucks.

None of these solutions are working for me and it’s quite frustrating, It’s not even enemy players not showing it’s just hostile NPCs out in the world. Makes questing quite frustrating on an alt I’m just starting.

There’s a reason of why the command doesn’t work for some people.

If the command it’s written in preformatted / code block, then it’s fine:

/run SetCVar("nameplatePlayerMaxDistance", 60)

But, if for some reason the player that sent the message, sent it as normal text:
/run SetCVar(“nameplatePlayerMaxDistance”, 60)

Then it won’t work, because the forum changes "" to “”
