Nameplate toggle macro help

[Deadfatcow-ahnqiraj]

Hello!

Currently, I enable friendly nameplates on shift+V, and enemy nameplates on V. Is there a macro I could create so that when I enable friendly nameplates (shift+V), all enemy nameplates automatically toggle off? And similarly, when I enable enemy nameplates (V), all friendly nameplates toggle off. I basically want to avoid having all nameplates enabled at the same time.

A few expansions ago this was possible through the default UI, but I don’t think it is anymore. If a macro doesn’t allow it, are there any very lightweight addons that could?

Enable Enemy Nameplates and Disable Friendly Nameplates:

/script SetCVar("nameplateShowFriends", 0)
/script SetCVar("nameplateShowEnemies", 1)

Enable Friendly Nameplates and Disable Enemy Nameplates:

/script SetCVar("nameplateShowFriends", 1)
/script SetCVar("nameplateShowEnemies", 0)

/script SetCVar("nameplateShowEnemies", 1)

Thanks a lot! This is super close to being exactly what I’m looking for, but do you know if there’s a way to get this to work in combat? Seems like it’s currently only working out of combat.

Unfortunately, you will need an addon for this. I think some scripts are suppressed during combat.

Ah got it - I appreciate your help! If you happen to know of any addon that supports that, please send it my way!
