How can I access sibling functions defined on init? Eg
Parent -> Child A, Child B
Child B defines:
aura_env.fn = function(a) then
print(a)
end
Child A wants to use (in it's on-show):
local b = 123 + 456
aura_env.fn(b)
When I check Parent init code it says to not edit those, but it's there. Regardless - I'd imagine children can use methods that are defined in parent's init (in parent's init I can see everything from Child A and Child B init).
Using sibling or parent functions defined in init

There is no inheritance, there is no parent

Does that mean there is no way to have shared utility functions? eg
local getSpellCd = function (spell)
local s, d, e = GetSpellCooldown(spell)
return s + d - GetTime()
end
local getBuffDuration = function (spell, target)
local ts = select(6, AuraUtil.FindAuraByName(spell, target)) or 0
return ts - GetTime()
end
Why do you have those in custom code

Where would be a correct place to have them?

Default triggers
random agate
do you mean triggers->custom trigger? 🤔

No, I mean default
Considering you’re very new to WA, what exactly are you aiming to achieve
random agate
I know code; I don't know graphic interface of WA (yet) and how all the inner workings work.
I want util functions to be defined in 1 place and accessible to all my custom little WAs I make in the future. I would have though that was possible by putting them either in parent, or in a child (eg called utils that only holds the global functions)
the functions above are just an example, obviously it would be eg
aura_env.getSpellCd = function (spell)
local s, d, e = GetSpellCooldown(spell)
return s + d - GetTime()
end
There are no parent child relationship in WA

UI
random agate
I only see Trigger; Trigger Combination settings and then specific triggers (ie 1 2 3...)
teal orbit
The trigger you make in the UI will carry all that information
random agate
I just didn't understand the terminology used - "Default" Trigger
did you mean just Trigger 1?

Any trigger made in UI
There’s no need for custom code in majority of cases, built-in triggers (default triggers) and conditions should solve vast majority of your needs
random agate
fair enough. I suppose the examples I've posted are a bit bad because those things can be achieved through the UI for sure I assume. They are a part of more complex logic though... Eg let's say you want to implement rotation-prediction. To determine next spell you need cooldowns, debuffs, buffs, etc - in code, to determine the next optimal spell etc
