Hide World Map Player Arrow
Hello all,
I'm looking for a way to hide the player arrow on the world map (And the little ping that pops up when you open the map) I've tried a few scripts that don't seem to work anymore: WorldMapUnitPositionFrame:SetAlpha(0), as well as, WorldMapPlayerLower:Hide() and WorldMapPlayerUpper:Hide() I like to get really immersed so I keep the Minimap hidden (I use a basic compass instead) and find the quest based on the instructions the NPCs give me. In this case, I'm trying to make the map work more like a real map, where I can't see a gps location of where my character is. Then I can get a lay of the land and look for landmarks, rivers, and roads without breaking the immersion. I've done my best to search google as well as this site so I apologize in advance if this isn't possible or has already been asked. Thank you kindly! :) |
Found a way to hide the map ping
As an update, I found a way to hide the map ping that pops up when you open the world map.
I used this addon: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addon...map-ping-hider Now I just need to figure out how to hide the player arrow |
Mapster Kind of Works
As an update, I was able to use the Mapster addon to change the scale of the player arrow to 0%. The author set the minimum to 50% but I went into the lua file and made it lower.
This basically does what I want but if anyone knows a simple script to hide the player arrow on the world map I'd much prefer to do that rather than have a whole addon installed (Where I'm only using a tiny part of it) Maybe I can look through Mapster to figure out how they are making changes to the player arrow at all. Thanks in advance if anyone more experienced can help :) And thanks to the creator of Mapster and the little addon that hides the player ping on the map as well :D |
Possible Solution (Works on classic, can't test on retail)

I was looking for the same thing you were when I found this thread. Thanks for posting a link to that addon otherwise I had no idea where to start on this.
For a quick fix drop my 2 attachments into the WorldMapPingHider addon folder and overwrite core.lua. The image is just a blank transparent picture to replace the arrow marker with. The change in core was changing Code:
hooksecurefunc(UnitPositionFrame, "StartPlayerPing", function(self, arg1, arg2) Code:
hooksecurefunc(UnitPositionFrame, "StartPlayerPing", function(self, arg1, arg2) Edit: Replaced the image since it was 256KB. I ran into an issue where the image didn't load properly and it turned into a green square. Hoping this fixed it |
Thank you very mutch! I founded this 30-40 days
