I was wondering if anyone knows of an addon (or work around) that disables raid announcements/warnings from popping up in the middle of the screen, and instead just shows them in the chat box. I’ve been trying to achieve this for quite some time now with no success, so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Its ment to grab your attention
Yeah but I need this.
I believe the Move Anything addon can achieve this by simply hiding it or reducing the size to super small and moving it out of the way.
@holyseizure I have MoveAny but I still can’t figure out how to modify this in classic era. Can you please help me?
You can hide it with this script. Just copy/paste it into your chat bar. You will need to execute it every time you log in or reload your UI though.
/script RaidWarningFrame:SetScript("OnShow", function () RaidWarningFrame:Hide() end)
It will still play the sound and show up in your chat log, but you won’t see the text in the middle of your screen.
*EDIT: If you don’t want to execute this every time you log in, look into how to create a simple addon. There’s tons of resources available if you google, it would only be a few lines of Lua code. I think the PLAYER_LOGIN
event would be of interest to you here.
A helpful response, on the WoW Clasaic forums? Sir, we’re going to have to ask you to leave. We only troll about GDKP here.
I have some experience with python, not Lua. I’m still a noob at programming but I’ll defiantly be trying this method. Thank you so much.
No problem! Python and Lua are fairly similar so you’ll likely be ok. There’s a lot of documentation online for the API and its calls. Also, for tinkering with non-WoW specific lua stuff, this website is incredibly useful:
