I'm looking to use the numerical values found in a spell in some custom lua code, but I'm not sure how to approach it.

!tooltip maybe?

To get a value from a buff or debuff's tooltip (the absorb amount on a shield buff for example), tick "Use Tooltip Info" in the buff trigger. This will have WeakAuras grab the whole tooltip, which can be accessed as %tooltip, and also the first three number values from the tooltip will be extracted and set as %tooltip1, %tooltip2 and %tooltip3.
If you need to manipulate any of these in code then they can be access in Custom Text with aura_env.states[triggerNumber].tooltip1. But the Format Options settings in Display will probably handle most of what you would need.

you have to enable the fetch tooltip in the aura section, but thats not available on any type of spell trigger that i saw

#

like vivify, i want the second value for the renewing mist heal in the tooltip, but renewing mist itself doesnt contain that info

#

i saw this, but im not sure what portion of the costext variable actually fits this case aura_env.GetCostTooltipInfo = function(spellID) local tooltip = WeakAuras.GetHiddenTooltip(); tooltip:SetSpellByID(spellID) local costText = WeakAurasTooltipTextLeft2:GetText() local cost = gsub(costText, "[^0-9]", "") return tonumber(cost) or 0 end
