Hide world map arrow and ping

[ovce]

Hello, im struggling to find/write an addon i used back on wotlk - to hide my positon on the world map (forcing me to navigate by landmarks not by gps)
Any idea of an addon that does that or advice which function to use?

ShowWorldMapArrowFrame doesnt seem to work or im not using it correctly

or any idea why this code (which worked on cata) is not working anymore?

function Hidearrow_Onload()

WorldMapPing:SetModelScale(0.0);
PlayerArrowFrame:SetModelScale(0.0)
PlayerArrowEffectFrame:SetModelScale(PlayerArrowFrame:GetModelScale())
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("HideArrow Map Addon loaded!")
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("/hidearrow or /ha for help")
SLASH_HIDEARROW1 = "/hidearrow";
SLASH_HIDEARROW2 = "/ha";
SlashCmdList["HIDEARROW"] = HIDEARROW_SlashHandler;
end


function HIDEARROW_SlashHandler(msg)
if (msg=="show") then
PlayerArrowFrame:SetModelScale(1.0)
PlayerArrowEffectFrame:SetModelScal(PlayerArrowFrame:GetModelScale())
end
if (msg=="hide") then
PlayerArrowFrame:SetModelScale(0.0)
PlayerArrowEffectFrame:SetModelScal(PlayerArrowFrame:GetModelScale())
end
if (msg=="") then
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("To Hide/Show the Map arrow, type: /hidearrow hide/show")
end

end

Edited to make into a toggleable (if that's even a word) addon

SLASH_HIDEARROW1 = "/hidearrow";
SLASH_HIDEARROW2 = "/ha";
SlashCmdList["HIDEARROW"] = function(msg)
	if WorldMapUnitPositionFrame:GetAlpha() == 0 then
		WorldMapUnitPositionFrame:SetAlpha(1)
	else
		WorldMapUnitPositionFrame:SetAlpha(0)
	end
end

Thanks.
After a lot of googling it seem that blizzard removed the PlayerArrowFrame and PlayerArrowEffectFrame during MoP and possibly replaced them with WorldMapPlayerLower and Upper, however these were also removed during 7.1 so im stuck again.
Maybe it would possible to replace the arrow texture with an empty file?

I'm not sure I understand what your issue is. Fizzlemizz's code should already be doing what you want to achieve.

Ah, my mistake, didnt read that properly. Thanks a lot, thats exactly what I was looking for and works perfectly
