HandyNotes: Mechagon & Nazjatar

ADDON VERSION: v43

Describe the bug
When trying to mouseover the Elianna or Talisa Whisperbloom icons, you have to be real precise to not mouse over the Cental Encampment icon instead.

i'm not sure, but i don't think we can force the frame strata of the node icons. it's probably set by HandyNotes.

It is possible, but not directly through the interface HandyNotes provides. You have to re-assign the strata manually for those specific nodes using hooks. There was an example in the prepatch for Dragonflight:

handynotes-plugins/plugins/09_Shadowlands/zones/prepatch.lua

Lines 150 to 160 in 0778b0a

    
           -- This is a hack to raise the frame level of these vendor pins. Otherwise they 
        
           -- have trouble rendering their tooltips on hover when competing against the 
        
           -- nearby city and zeppelin icons. 
        
           hooksecurefunc(HandyNotesWorldMapPinMixin, 'OnAcquired', function(self, ...) 
        
               if self.texture:GetTexture() == 237016 then 
        
                   self:UseFrameLevelType('PIN_FRAME_LEVEL_WAYPOINT_LOCATION') 
        
               else 
        
                   self:UseFrameLevelType('PIN_FRAME_LEVEL_AREA_POI') 
        
               end 
        
           end)

Basically you add a custom hook for all HandyNotes pins, find a way to filter down to the pins you want (in this case, we used the texture) and then modify those pins.

If the nodes were offset, or displayed otherwise, that would be sufficient.

If the strata can solve the problem too, that would be ideal of course.

I came here to suggest moving Elianna's icon a bit further away from the center, that way it would also be more easily identifiable and more visible that there actually is an icon for the NPC.

~~This seems to be fixed in 44 -- @Ioney or @zarillion if you can confirm this was fixed, then the issue can be closed.~~

Edit: on second look, it seems like it just depends if I scale the icons up then it "appears" to be fixed, but then the icons overlap. Sorry for the ping.

I'm going to close this in favor of a different issue, because these nodes should probably be moved.

	hooksecurefunc(HandyNotesWorldMapPinMixin, 'OnAcquired', function(self, ...)
	if self.texture:GetTexture() == 237016 then
	self:UseFrameLevelType('PIN_FRAME_LEVEL_WAYPOINT_LOCATION')
	else
	self:UseFrameLevelType('PIN_FRAME_LEVEL_AREA_POI')
	end
	end)
