Combat Log Spell Cast Trigger - Triggers only once on multiple Casts | WeakAuras Community | Page 1

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to play around with spell cast trigger.

Q1: (optional) What does the ID means in combat log 1664893004.864 ? What does the .864 mean ?

It seems that when multiple casts have the same ID, they only trigger once :
Exemple below with 5 casts (simultaneous) and only 3 triggers where received (which I believe is due to one per ID)

Q2: How could I change the trigger to trigger 5 times here ?

1664893004.864 is the timestamp, you can find the rest of the args here

#

Thank you, so multiple events on same timestamp will only trigger once ?

covert wyvern Oct 4, 2022, 2:32 PM

#

the trigger should trigger for every event but given that they are within ms of eachother i doubt u will notice, what is the end goal?

dusk ibex Oct 4, 2022, 2:33 PM

#

Simply counting the events. (I am trying to do advanced soul shard prediction before they hit the ground.)

#

#

Trigger in purple counts any from 1-3 due to the same-testamp issue it seems

#

It definitely triggers only once per timestamp - its this expected behavior for WA ?

covert wyvern Oct 4, 2022, 2:39 PM

#

how did you determine that to be the case?

#

i would say all of this should be a custom trigger

dusk ibex Oct 4, 2022, 2:40 PM

#

Yeah

#

That's what i am thinking

#

need to learn some LUA

dusk ibex Oct 4, 2022, 2:40 PM

#

covert wyvern how did you determine that to be the case?

Trigger count == Number of distinct timestamps (After repeating the experiment)

covert wyvern Oct 4, 2022, 2:41 PM

#

but if 2 events have the same timestamp, where are you counting them?

#

!starterkit plenty of information there to get started

from the log - here is a similar example with spirit bomb consuming shards at the same time

#

The SPELL_AURA_REMOVED_DOSE triggered only once

#

however all specific number = X also trigerred

covert wyvern Oct 4, 2022, 2:45 PM

#

yeah so if you have a trigger watching that event, it will trigger and stay triggered for the specified duration
meaning the trigger will trigger for all events but since the timestamp is the same there is no relevant change that you would see

dusk ibex Oct 4, 2022, 2:45 PM

#

Understood.

#

I will need custom code to look for multiple spell cast inside one event then ?

covert wyvern Oct 4, 2022, 2:46 PM

#

every event is its own but there is no information changing so you dont see any difference

#

function(event, _,subevent,_,sourceGUID,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,spellID)
  if subevent == "SPELL_AURA_REMOVED_DOSE" and sourceGUID == UnitGUID("player")
  and spellID == 203981 then
    aura_env.count = aura_env.count + 1
    return true
  end
end```
here's a example of what it could look like just counting every event
under ``Actions - On init - Custom`` you would put in ``aura_env.count = 0``

_ is just a throwaway name for stuff you dont need

dusk ibex Oct 4, 2022, 3:12 PM

#

function(event, ...)
    local subevent = select(2,...)
    local spellid = select(12,...)
    local spellname = select(13,...)
    if subevent == "SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS"  then
    print("Trigger: " .. subevent .. " " .. spellname)
    return true
end

#

#

Success

#

Thanks to you

#

Btw how do you format your Lua paste ?

ancient vortexBOT Oct 4, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

You can format your code to be much more easy to read using Discord "markdown" formatting:
```Lua
--CODE HERE
```
• ` these are "backticks", usually to the left of the 1 key, not apostrophes.
• If in doubt copy paste the above and add your code
• Bonus point available for using syntax highlighting:
◘ Using the name of the language you're using after the backticks provides syntax highlighting.
◘ "Lua" is the language used in WA custom code blocks.
