Hi all - the attached picture gives some context for what I'm trying to do. If I knew how to code weakauras I'd be on my way, but it's not a skill I currently possess. I've tried searching for existing auras, as well.

I should note that I'm trying to do this for my monk.

that's too complicated, just make a t text aura and use a cast trigger

Thanks - I've gotten this to work for casts that are channels, but not for instant actions. What am I missing (besides, LMGTFY, I know)?

#

I presume it's a matter of getting something instant to have a display duration on the screen, rather than the WA detecting the action itself.

a GCD trigger

I got a GCD in place - that shows the GCD timer but not the name of the immediate past cast. I'm trying to find something from https://wago.io/WindwalkerLastAbility to cannibalize for my own purposes, but my newness to writing WAs isn't helping. (EDIT: ty Spaten for the first comment.)

#

Also looking at https://wago.io/b9euX-znp - the code surely means more to you folks

GCD History (Fork)

basically TrufiGCD, except a lot less code cheers for the initial i

No to be rude, but if "not that" then what?
