Minimap Code

[Phylax]

Hello all, i need some help with a bit of code from a minimap mod.

MinimapZoneTextButton:SetParent(Minimap)
MinimapZoneTextButton:SetPoint("TOP", Minimap, 0, 14)
MinimapZoneTextButton:SetFrameStrata("LOW")
MinimapZoneText:SetFont('[FONTS\\ARIALN.ttf', 10, 'OUTLINE')
MinimapZoneText:SetTextColor(.41, .80, .94)

is what i have so far, i want the zone text to show up there and be that color, the only problem is when i zone it resets back to default blizzard green color, is there anyway to force it to keep that color?

local function dummy() end
MinimapZoneText.SetTextColor = dummy

Make sure you add that second line after you've set the new colour.

Also, you seem to have a typo at the font part, you have a bracket [ that shouldn't be there.

You might also want to add this before you set the new position of the button:

MinimapZoneTextButton:ClearAllPoints()

I'm not sure if it's necessary to parent the button to the minimap by the way because I doubt it'll make much of a difference.

If i'm to understand this, that means that basicly each time the zone text is updated that function will run?

[Haleth]

Indeed. The function that sets the text colour now becomes an empty function.

Ah, now I see. Explains why I've seen so many "Dummy" functions in addons.
Ty for the insight.

Or you could just do

MinimapZoneText.SetTextColor = function() end
