Will/can we get increase nameplate distance in TBC?

luv you long time

probably not aware but this command doesn’t work because console restricts access to nameplate cvars.

also your script also doesn’t work because it has invalid invisible character in it

any idea how to get this to work?

use this

/script C_CVar.SetCVar("nameplateMaxDistance", 41)

BTW for people who still cant get it to work. you are probably using an addon. I was using Neatplates.

You have to go into neatplates settings > other options > USE BLIZZARD NAME VISIBILITY

make sure that is checked and you are good to go

Ok I gotcha so I can’t use elvui nameplates with this then?

thank you @Wirtt this is what got it to work for me

/script C_CVar.SetCVar(“nameplateMaxDistance”, 41)

This is the correct syntax for it:

/script SetCVar("nameplateMaxDistance", 41)

Dont play then

Yes.
/run SetCVar(“nameplateMaxDistance”, “41”)

That did not work.
This works:
/run SetCVar(“nameplateMaxDistance”, “41”)

/run SetCVar(“nameplateMaxDistance”, “41”)

This worked for me.

Or you could keep it simple and

/console nameplateMaxDistance 41

yeah well i have it and it doesnt work still only 20 yards

The threat plates addon is taking advantage of this change. You can set its distance as 40 yards max. I just did it yesterday. It must be using the newly editable nameplateMaxDistance console variable or they added some other way to do it through the lua API directly without the cvar.

I’ve noticed this before when messing around with scripts on macros, some script commands aren’t working with /script but are working with /run… even though they’re supposed to be the same command allowing you to execute a lua script. Seems like just a bug with /script exists. But, honestly who cares, since run exists.

The console command doesn’t worker you?

It works fine in Plater. My nameplates are viewable at 40 yards.
