You didn't say what the error was, but just putting a spell name in square brackets doesn't make it a link
#Script "sourceName > spellLink > destName" issue

Yeah it was my work around, its not the issue, the issue is the code, i think i pasted the error too, not sure, i will again when im on wow

Well you're throwing a nil in there somewhere.
Might as well nil check all the values before concatenating them, including the WA ones because I don't think WA would be careful to use empty strings when they have no values
e.g.
local sN = aura_env.state.sourceName or ""
local spell = aura_env.state.spellName
local link = spell and GetSpellLink(spell) or ""
local dN = aura_env.state.destName or ""
local output = format("%s used %s on %s", sN, link, dN)
SendChatMessage(output, IsInGroup(2) and "INSTANCE_CHAT" or IsInRaid() and "RAID" or "PARTY")
Also you can just use %c on a regular chat message setting and let WA handle the SendChatMessage bit

so to put it simple some variable might contain empty string?
do you think i should set a source type and dest type in the trigger, to force grabbing this information specifically?
sharp oriole
Empty strings can concatenate but nils can not.
Only alter your trigger if it makes it more accurate.
Alter the code so it doesn't error

@sharp oriole think this fixed it, i tested it with some mage ability that has 100% destination and source, but its my own output, need to test it with someone casting the actual spell on me now
well at least it didnt spit out an error
Fck 😦 Sadly still the same thing...
maybe the spells dont have a destination on a blizz system side?
pure dagger

Alter the code so it does...
actually i have a warlock, i tested soulstone, both ways, it works, means that the weakaura is 100% correct, something is wrong with the specific spells that throw an error?
pure dagger
Well if someone can help me fixing it that would be awesome.. i think im too stupid to understand it. Its just 4 spells im tracking and the syntax is correct (rebirth, intercession, raise ally, soulstone), soulstone works fine, i cant see why other spells dont work
And as always, im trying to skip advanced functions/coding :/.
sharp oriole
You didn't change the code you're using
pure dagger
e.g.
```LUA
local sN = aura_env.state.sourceName or ""
local spell = aura_env.s...
do i use this one?
sharp oriole
Worth a try
pure dagger
Worth a try
it gave this, tried Rebirth spell
this with soulstone, im starting to think its the spells being weirdly bugged by blizzard
Its tilting xD basically same thing that my simple code did, but now we can see its empty and its the spell being faulty, anything else we can do with it ;-:?
sharp oriole
The events have the info they have 🤷♂️
pure dagger
means its doomed? D:

I dont understand this............
Why is this thing working and the other isnt
sharp oriole
You've got a bunch of triggers so probably an issue with dynamic info

WeakAuras doesn't show anything by default, it's just the framework that lets you import or create "Auras" to display things. If you're having an issue with an Aura, and/or want opinions on it, then you need to share the specific Aura. The best way to do this is to link it through https://wago.io/.
If you only imported the aura, you may right click the aura in-game and select Copy URL and paste it here. If you have modified the aura or created your own, you may instead select Export to string... and upload the string to https://wago.io/. This does not require an account.
You can now paste the import string directly into Discord (with no other text, only the string) and a bot will import it for you and link the wago.

my plan for today is split it into 4 auras so they handle only one trigger and test what asakawa said, maybe it really is too many triggers in one aura o this type, however im not sure, soulstone is trigger 4, so the weakaura has to go through 3 other triggers and the soulstone specifically works, while rebirth which is trigger 1 doesn't
Alright... i duplicated the weakaura and left only rebirth trigger in it, it did not work aswell, the error still remains the same

Just tested this with Rebirth and both outputs worked with no errors. :?

i assume you used it yourself on someone
the bug appears mostly when someone else casts it
someone else > you, someone else > someone else

yea I tested it with me casting on someone
GetSpellLink
number|string - Spell ID or Name. When passing a name requires the spell to be in your Spellbook.
Its returning nil because you can't use the spellname if your character doesn't know Rebirth.
CLEU for spellcast contains the spellID so you just need to use that instead
that may not be the only problem though

Cleu - Unit/info > spell?
dreamy summit
the trigger you're already using
just do aura_env.state.spellId
I think that's what it's called im not sure
pure dagger
just do aura_env.state.spellId
oh lord. i feel so autistic rn, the getspelllink takes id, of course, i brainstormed it so much and i put name in it... i wont call it success yet though, i will when i test it first, but im certainly sure it will work, it makes sense now. the name worked because it grabs the spell from somewhere, and its the spellbook
took me 1.5 week and you noticed it instantly xD
yeah ofc it works, thank u so much 
is there a way to possibly cut the server -.... out of the output in the command also? just like the built in Chat Message feature with formatting enabled
pure dagger
a call? is it blizzard command or weakaura 😄
i will look it up
and possibly put it in it: SendChatMessage(aura_env.state.sourceName.." ›› "..GetSpellLink(aura_env.state.spellId).." ›› "..aura_env.state.destName, IsInGroup(2) and "INSTANCE_CHAT" or IsInRaid() and "RAID" or "PARTY")

change aura_env.state.sourceName to GetUnitName(UnitTokenFromGUID(aura_env.state.sourceGUID),false)
