Shows your current quest progress directly on unit nameplates, with the number of mobs you have left to kill or items to collect.

If you want to move or resize the icon, there are 5 settings that can be adjusted:

AnchorPoint = 'RIGHT', -- Point of icon to anchor to nameplate (CENTER, LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, BOTTOM)
RelativeTo = 'LEFT', -- Point of nameplate to anchor icon to (CENTER, LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, BOTTOM)
OffsetX = 0, -- Horizontal offset for icon (from anchor point)
OffsetY = 0, -- Vertical offset for icon
IconScale = 1, -- Multiplier for icon size

To move the icon anchor from the left to the right side of the nameplate, you could type:

/run QuestPlateSettings.AnchorPoint = 'LEFT'; QuestPlateSettings.RelativeTo = 'RIGHT'

Followed by /reload to save and apply your changes.

To move the icon left or right, you can adjust the X offset by typing:

/run QuestPlateSettings.OffsetX = -10

Negative numbers move left, positive values move right. OffsetY controls the vertical offset.

If you want to reset your changes to the defaults, simply type:

/run QuestPlateSettings = nil

And then /reload your ui.

In reply to Keleas:

Can you go to an area with some quest targets, type /dump QuestPlateSettings which will output some things to the chat, hover over one of the quest objectives so the tooltip is visible and take a screenshot for me?

In reply to Keleas:

Thanks; it looks like either you turned off the option to display quest text in tooltips or one of your addons is turning it off for you.

You can type /run SetCVar('showQuestTrackingTooltips', '1') to re-enable this option, and it should stay on unless another addon is disabling it.

QuestPlates should be enabling the option automatically when it starts, but it looks like they changed the loading process, so I may have to upload a change to make sure nothing else overrides it.

Thanks for pointing this out, I hadn't realized it wasn't turning the option on by itself (and it needs it to function).

The last update should fix it so it doesn't happen to anyone else!

I have this same issue my QuestPlateSettings are the same as Keleas, but the SetCVar did nothing. I have disabled all other addons.

I will have to ask the same thing I asked Keleas: Find a quest objective that you think is not working correctly, hover over them so their tooltip is visible and take a screenshot for me so I can see what you're seeing.

I think I've found one more thing.
When you do quests of faction assaults that need to fill a percentage, a question mark appears instead of a number in the icon.
It does not occur on normal quests in the same situation.

What does the text in the tooltip look like when you hover over one of the units?

I'm not sure, but the tooltip text seems to have been displayed normally. I'll check on next faction assault.

Tooltips display correctly.

I found a condition that caused this thing. Please refer to the following link.

https://www.wowhead.com/guides/battle-for-azeroth-incursions

All quests related to the percentage from 2 or more stages of the faction assaults have this problem. See the "Zone Quests and World Quests" section of the link. The quests are listed. Quests from stage 1 and all the other quests are fine.

I think the problem is the fact that it's displaying the progress % in the tooltip and it's confusing the addon.

I've uploaded a new version that should address this if that's the case.

Let me know if you're still having problems with it!

Hello, I prefer the icon to be on the right rather on the left, due to many things, like marker & elite icon, and many other things, to make story short, I can modify this in the file myself, but everytime I update, then I have to re-do it, is there any easy way to do this in a config that doesn't change within an update?

In reply to asbani:

I don't have time to make a real interface for it, but I've changed the way settings are set to use saved variables instead of being hard-coded into the top of the addon, so they won't get overwritten by future updates.

You can now change settings by typing

/run QuestPlateSettings.AnchorPoint = 'LEFT'; QuestPlateSettings.RelativeTo = 'RIGHT'

To move the icon from the left to the right, then typing /reload to apply the changes.

To adjust its horizontal position you can use something like this to move it 10 pixels to the right:

/run QuestPlateSettings.OffsetX = 10
