PTS 1.6 "SetTopMost" error

[Sp00sty]

Hello all,

I'm just into the PTS and copied over my Addons/variables.

Bugeater is allowing me to play so far but I am getting one constant error that is also present in Bugeater itself and many others.

The error is

An Add-on attempted to illegally call [SetTopmost]

The new PTS 1.6 API notes have the following:

Line 10032: * SetTopmost *private* (*bool* _isTopmost_)

I don't know enough code to interpret that API line. Is there a chance it provides a simple cut&paste I can do to my addons to remove the error output?

There is nothing you can do, just find all lines where is used SetTopmost method and comment it out.

Example:

LoreBooks.lua, lines 256-262:

local function ShowReport(textArray)
   local text = table.concat(textArray, "\n")
   LoreBooks_GUIText:SetText(text)
   LoreBooks_GUI:SetHidden(false)
   LoreBooks_GUI:SetTopmost()
   SetGameCameraUIMode(true) --release mouse
end

As you can see, there is SetTopmost and I have to comment it out, so it will look like this:

local function ShowReport(textArray)
   local text = table.concat(textArray, "\n")
   LoreBooks_GUIText:SetText(text)
   LoreBooks_GUI:SetHidden(false)
   --LoreBooks_GUI:SetTopmost()
   SetGameCameraUIMode(true) --release mouse
end

Ah, I guess that fix didn't make the PTS build. This was a remnant of some older security related work. This will not be a problem in the live build. In the mean time you can set the top level's tier to HIGH, layer to OVERLAY, and set a high level. That should guarantee it's on top in most situations.
