Custom Nameplates

So I love the look of the CustomNamePlates addon, but it quickly targets each and every player when on? I guess I wouldnt mind but it makes a sound and is just too annoying to tolerate.

Anyone know why? or a better nameplate addon? default is just so ugly...

that's the ClassIcon addition of customNameplates

find the lines containing

fillPlayerDB(name)
ClearTarget()

and delete/comment them out to disable
but that will disable the ClassIcon addition - at least for players which are not in the DB already

In my own modification of the nameplates I used another way to get the classIcons - but hell idk when I'm going to release my UI

So I tried to delete just this:

local function fillPlayerDB(name)
if Targets[name] == nil then
TargetByName(name, true);
table.insert(Targets, name);
Targets[name] = "ok"
if UnitIsPlayer("target") then
local class = UnitClass("target");
table.insert(Players, name)
Players[name] = {["class"] = class};
end
end
end

and when I remove all that, in game most nameplates show up default, some glitchy, and some correctly. any ideas?

just remove

fillPlayerDB(name)
ClearTarget()

and leave the rest of the code and it should be fine without errors
