Monster off screen / Nameplate still on screen

[Erik]

Hope I can explain this correctly, but I was wondering if blizzard
allows nameplates to remain on screen even if the monster isn't
currently on screen? And if this is possible in Tidy Plates?

Say the monster is behind my toon and not currently in the camera
view, could the nameplate then appear at the bottom of the screen. And
as I turn the camera left, the nameplate would shift left until the
monster appears and the nameplate is back above his head.

This would be so nice for situational awareness, because I sometimes
lose track of where monsters are and hate having to keep swinging the
camera around.

Love this addon! Thank you!

Sorry, Erik...

No, it's not possible. Here's my way of putting it:

All nameplate addons have a dirty little secret; They don't create
nameplates. Every one of them just intercept the standard Blizz plates
and restyle them. We can't create, show, move, hide, or destroy
them. We can adjust their height and width, but only out-of-combat.

A nameplate that goes offscreen is hidden/destroyed by the Blizz
nameplate system. We have absolutely no control over this, nor can we
create and alter our own secure frames during combat.

That's what I thought but thank you for the response and the info on
the "dirty little secret". =)
