/console gameTip 0

Values[]

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

Details[]

  • This CVar saves locally and affects every login from the same client.
  • The position saved by gameTip might not really exist; it is checked for validity at the next login. The game could skip ahead for gaps or level restritions, or restart from SortIndex 1.

Examples[]

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

Patch changes[]

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