Text Message (Auto-timed) - modify coordinates ?

[Volsungh]

Hello,

Do you think there is any way to modify the default X Y coordinates of in-game Text Message ?
(Im not looking for Custom Texts, but for Text Message (auto-timed).

Thanks.

yes, there are 2 ways.
Change the position of ORIGIN_FRAME_UNIT_MSG.

Or
use custom script to call the natives directly which allow to define x and y.

native DisplayTextToPlayer takes player toPlayer, real x, real y, string message returns nothing

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

Can you explain how to use these please ? How can I change ORIGIN_FRAME_UNIT_MSG position ? (custom script ??)

For the values you have to test around. First you free the frame then one moves its center somewhere else.

• Repos MessageFrame
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call BlzFrameClearAllPoints(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_UNIT_MSG,0))
    • Custom script: call BlzFrameSetAbsPoint(BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_UNIT_MSG,0), FRAMEPOINT_CENTER, 0.5, 0.6)

Thank you very much.

It's working but after I exit the game I get an error report message (to send to blizzard). Is it normal ?

It's possible with that native? i remember testing various values on x and it cannot be less than 0, that is his predefined valor.
Or i'm wrong?
