HideTalentAlert
Hides the Talent popup notifications
Even if you click it away the popup keeps reappearing unless you choose all of your talents
This also hides any Adventure Guide and Collections alerts

See also HideTutorial for hiding the help plates and tutorials

Posted Oct 13, 2025There is a similar popup that says "you have an unopened item in your collection". Is there any chance this can be added to the addon as well?

I've been testing and I *think* this is a taintless solution:
local function HideAlert(microButton, text, tutorialIndex, cvarBitfield)
if microButton == PlayerSpellsMicroButton then
MainMenuMicroButton_HideAlert(microButton)
end
end
local function HidePulse(microButton, duration)
if microButton == PlayerSpellsMicroButton then
MicroButtonPulseStop(microButton)
end
end
hooksecurefunc("MainMenuMicroButton_ShowAlert", HideAlert)
hooksecurefunc("MicroButtonPulse", HidePulse)

Any reason for the expanded scope on 'HideAlert' function? Here's what I drafted as a result of your code contribution here - and so far, so good:
-- -- License: Public Domain
-- function MainMenuMicroButton_AreAlertsEnabled()
-- return false
-- end
-- Function to hide talent alerts
local function HideAlert(microButton)
-- Only hide alerts for the PlayerSpellsMicroButton
if microButton == PlayerSpellsMicroButton then
MainMenuMicroButton_HideAlert(microButton)
end
end
-- Function to stop pulse animations on the talent button
local function HidePulse(microButton)
-- Only stop pulse for the PlayerSpellsMicroButton
if microButton == PlayerSpellsMicroButton then
MicroButtonPulseStop(microButton)
end
end
-- Hook the alert and pulse functions securely to avoid taint
hooksecurefunc("MainMenuMicroButton_ShowAlert", HideAlert)
hooksecurefunc("MicroButtonPulse", HidePulse)

Posted Apr 15, 2023Hello. I'm getting a bunch of errors from this addon that I hope you can help with. I love this addon for its ability to block the "you have unspent specialization points" tooltip because I regularly keep unspent points on all my characters. However, I am getting a bunch of errors that claim to be from HideTalentAlert, primarily on hitting hotkeys on my actionbars.

That looks like taint but I'm not sure if this can even be fixed, there would be otherwise no taint safe ways to hide the talent alert. The addon only has one function
