Changes: CVar gameTip

Revision as of 00:48, 11 October 2021

Tracks loading screens to cycle the tip during login.

/console gameTip 0

SortIndex: number - Index of the tip just displayed, plus one. (See wow.tools for the complete list.)

This CVar saves locally and affects every login from the same client.
During the next login, the tip skips ahead for gaps or level restrictions, or restarts from 1 if there are none left.

Calling /dump GetCVar("gameTip") with a level 70 character on a fresh install results in 3, and then 5 after the second login.

Patch 7.3.0 (2017-08-29): SortIndex added.
Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Level restrictions added, so this CVar now skips values.
