Since the May 29 update, there's been an issue with nameplates in the arena
Closed this issue · 9 comments
Since the update, if an enemy hunter uses Feign Death in the arena, their nameplate fails to display correctly after the effect ends
it either remains hidden or doesn't show up at all
I really hope this gets checked and fixed quickly. :D
I have a guess: I hide nameplates now when a unit dies (as otherwise there were some graphical glitches). But I think a hunter feigning death triggers exactly this event. Then, the nameplate is set to inactive and never activated again when the hunter ends Feign Death.
I am not sure how to fix it really as I don't know yet what is causing it.
The following is a version where I removed the part that cauld cause it. Do you still experience the bug with this version?

I installed and tried using TheatPlates 12.3.0 beta1, but the problem still remains.
12.3.0-beta1 will not work as it does not contain the bugfix. You need to try the above version (which is12.2.1-beta1), not the beta for 12.3.0 (which is mainly for MoP Classic).
I just checked version 12.2.1-beta1 that was attached to the email. I tested the Hunter’s Feign Death in this version and confirmed that there are no issues.
OK, so it really was that change. I still want the nameplate to be hidden immediately when a unit dies, so I reverted to the previous behaviour (before 12.2.0). Rather than setting the nameplate's style to 'name-only' mode, I set the style to 'empty', meaning the nameplate is no longer shown. However, it's different to how it was in 12.2.0, so it should still work with feign death. At least, I hope so!
Here's the updated version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zxCL2GTk3GbpAAclOOsQrFuuk6s4k-BH/view?usp=sharing
Any feedback is appreciated:
Thank you so much for your effort.
It looks like your intended change (making the nameplate disappear immediately upon death) has been implemented, and at the same time, the bug that used to occur with Feign Death seems to be completely gone as well.
