Sezz pretty much hit it on the nail. You can't modify nameplates in instances or pvp, if you try to do so you will trigger taint errors and such. Blizzard did this to prevent nameplates from being used to calculate positioning and what not and other things they didn't want folks doing.
Outside of that scope you can modify them as you like. A question though? Why not just use the colored healthbars to know the class? It shouldn't be necessary to place a class icon. Even if you are color blind there are settings that can adjust that.
Otherwise you if you want to use that code you need to add measures to prevent errors.
Code:
local iconKey = addonName .. "Icon"
local GetNamePlateForUnit = C_NamePlate.GetNamePlateForUnit
local iconTexture = {
["DEATHKNIGHT"] = 135771,
["DEMONHUNTER"] = 236415,
["DRUID"] = 625999,
["HUNTER"] = 626000,
["MAGE"] = 626001,
["MONK"] = 626002,
["PALADIN"] = 626003,
["PRIEST"] = 626004,
["ROGUE"] = 626005,
["SHAMAN"] = 626006,
["WARLOCK"] = 626007,
["WARRIOR"] = 626008
}
local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, unit)
local inInstance, instanceType = IsInInstance()
--make sure we aren't in an instance
if not inInstance then
--next check to see if you can even TOUCH the namePlate, using CanAccessObject
local namePlate = GetNamePlateForUnit(unit)
if namePlate and CanAccessObject(namePlate) then
if event == "NAME_PLATE_UNIT_ADDED" and UnitIsFriend("player", unit) then
local _, class = UnitClass(unit)
if iconTexture[class] then
local icon = namePlate[iconKey]
if not icon then
icon = namePlate:CreateTexture(nil, "OVERLAY")
icon:SetPoint('CENTER', 0, 22)
icon:SetSize(22, 22)
namePlate[iconKey] = icon
end
icon:SetTexture(iconTexture[class])
icon:Show()
return
end
end
if namePlate[iconKey] then
namePlate[iconKey]:Hide()
end
end
end
end)
frame:RegisterEvent("NAME_PLATE_UNIT_ADDED")
frame:RegisterEvent("NAME_PLATE_UNIT_REMOVED")
