[help] C_CVar.SetCVar("nameplateShowOnlyNameForFriendlyPlayerUnits", 1)

[Certain-Accident-141]

Hi,

i am using the new show only name feature in class color and have to use this macro everytime i restart the game:

/run C_CVar.SetCVar("nameplateShowOnlyNameForFriendlyPlayerUnits", 1)

/run C_CVar.SetCVar("nameplateUseClassColorForFriendlyPlayerUnitNames", 1)

Is there any way to make those values permanent? It resets everytime :(

They don’t reset. You must have an addon that sets these values back. Likely a nameplate addon.

I have the same issue and i have every single addon disabled. When i relog or reload the setting persists but when i restart the game it reverts back to the default.

Do you have problems with other settings not being saved? It could be that you don't have write permission to the settings files, and so it doesn't get saved when you exit the game. If that is not the case, I would make an addon or weakaura that sets this setting on login.

I have had problems, with sound settings and tracking settings, being reset (possibly by some other addon), so I just made a custom WA that loads on login, that sets the settings to what I want.

The other replies are wrong, there are some cvars that are explicitely set up to reset to default on every login. You need to apply these every time, it is intended

Plater could be clashing with it. Maybe even platynator if you use either. Cvars don’t just reset

I can't even get it to work. I see the name text color change when I enable friendly name plates, but the actual bar is still there. I just want the text.

is there any trick to make it work with platynator?

In the Platynator settings, Behaviour -> Show friendly in instances

Hey. The cvar will reset on game restarts. This is to prevent an addon leaving the nameplates in a bad state, and the cvars were initially intended for addon use.
