Hi, i want to dynamically attach a weakaura to a first loaded weakaura with name beginning with "Healthbar -". I need to know how to get weakaura frame by name in code and how to check if its loaded.
#Custom attach to frame
echo anvil
sharp cloak
Eh?

Curious, what are you trying to do that you need to Change the parent?
echo anvil
my healthBar wa(luxthos wa) has different position depending on a class/spec, i want to attach debuffs weakaura to it(so i have debuffs on hp bar) but i dont want to make a copy for each class i play
like this

You'd probably have to utilise scan events to tell which Aura is loaded, not sure if an aura can tell what another aura state is.
But it seems like WA does have a function to set anchors to other auras
local region = aura_env.region
region:SetAnchor("BOTTOMLEFT", WeakAuras.GetRegion("Other Aura"), "TOPRIGHT")
-- Anchors the aura to another aura.
SetAnchor(anchorPoint, relativeTo, relativePoint)

I'm also going to assume that partial names don't work, so you'd probably have to create 38 conditions for each scan event for each spec
echo anvil
its each class actually, each class has its own hp bar
and i thought its possible to set anchors to other auras because you can do it in wa as on screenshot above

It is, but I generally only do it through the WA Options interface
and the Function above looks like the one you'd use if you wanted to code it.
So given the position of the ? in the SS above
SetAnchor("TOPLEFT", WeakAuras.GetRegion("HP bar name"), "TOPLEFT")
echo anvil
i'll try it, thank you for this

If you're gona do this for Multiple Auras, it might be easier to make a "Blank" aura that moves around and just have the debuffs anchor to the "Blank" in the options menu
