How to get the name of a gametooltip?

siweia · 06-23-16, 11:48 PM

I am currently trying to reskin the default gametooltip, and everything works fine atm.

But for those gametooltip on the abilities of the OrderHallUI, I couldn't get the name to reskin them.

Are there any apis to get the name of gametooltips?

I guess the easiest way would be to hook the global metatable and see what pops up.

Code:

hooksecurefunc(getmetatable(GameTooltip).__index,"Show",function(self) print(self:GetName() or tostring(self)); end);

This would make every tooltip object print its name to the chat frame when it's shown.

It didn't print the name of the follower's abilities gametooltip.

Ah, I knew this question sounded familiar.

You asked the same question about a year ago.

Hopefully I won't do it again next year.
