Need help in how to write this simple script to lua

Hello.

So basically I have this script in a macro that I have to click everytime I logon. I just want help writing it in an .lua file so it automatically activates on logon. I have tried reading a few guides but could not get it to work.

The script is

/run C_NamePlate.SetNamePlateFriendlySize(60, 60)

I have made an addon with a .toc and everything but I'm not sure what to write exactly in the .lua file for the code to work properly. I have tried

C_NamePlate.SetNamePlateFriendlySize(60, 60)
SetNamePlateFriendlySize(60, 60)
local EventFrame = CreateFrame("Frame")
EventFrame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
EventFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self,event,...)
C_NamePlate.SetNamePlateFriendlySize(60, 60)
end)

But none of them seemed to work for me. I have absolutely zero knowledge in coding and I've tried reading a few guides but with no success. If anyone can help I'd be thankful. Cheers

In your addon file, you would need to create a function that has that script inside of it, and then trigger than function to run on player login.

Something similar to this should work

Lua Code:

local setnameplateframe = CreateFrame("Frame", setnameplateframe)
 
local function setnameplatesize(self, event, ...)
     C_NamePlate.SetNamePlateFriendlySize(60, 60)
end
 
setnameplateframe:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
setnameplateframe:SetScript("OnEvent", setnameplatesize)

I have not tested this code and can not guarantee that it works.

Worked perfectly thanks a lot!
