#Nameplate timers-bars in Dragonflight

Hello! I have a little nameplate health texture using WA, however it gets bugged/locked at the center of the screen with the new timers we got in DF for boats and zepps and now events like the Emerald Dream stuff (Ex: Naralex in Ohn'ahran Plains).

Do anyone knows how to add a trigger to ignore those new types of nameplates and only use my texture on regular NPCs?

Thank you!

The screenshots don't show what you mean and we would need the aura

earnest surge
#

and the aura is just a progress texture with a: health > nameplate trigger clamped to nameplates anchor

#

this is how my nameplates look with my texture aura

#

they stop working with the new DF timer-event nameplates

#

it looks like you're doing something to hide the default nameplate

earnest surge
#

using plater to hide them

#

and creating my nameplates with WA

barren badge
#

why not use plater for all of it

#

it's designed for nameplates

earnest surge
#

can't customize-design it to look exactly how I want it to look

#

easier with WA

#

with WA I can add all the custom stuff I want, rare icons, etc

Need to see full context to have any idea why it might not work.

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.

I'm guessing the new timers-events added to nameplates in DF have a different type of event or something that breaks my WA

#

can't find anything in Plater to hide those timers either

#

I'm guessing nobody has gone through an issue like this yet wanting to redesign the nameplates

barren badge
#

I don't use Plater but I've def seen some pretty custom stuff using it

earnest surge
#

this is my UI btw... just WA and Kong and other minor addons

#

and Plater ofc

barren badge
#

ok. still need the full context of your aura.

earnest surge
#

hold on, let me make a simple version of it (without the custom textures)

barren badge
#

You can just link it with the custom textures. that isn't the important part

earnest surge
#

do I just paste the import code here?

barren badge
#

then copy link here

earnest surge
#

ohh ok

#

There's another one for boss/??/-1 units but whatever I fix for this regular NPC one should work for the boss one as well

Looks like those bars are subelements of the nameplates. Plater I guess just doesn't have things in place to hide them properly yet.

Also it doesn't look like you can even disable those nameplates with default options.

AFAIK there is no way to differentiate between these name plates and a "normal" nameplate. They appear identical besides the sub-element

#

I suggest asking in Plater Discord about why their hiding functions aren't hiding those nameplates.

earnest surge
#

Good to know then, thank you very much for your time! I'll ask in their discord then, have a nice day!

To get help with this you need to give us:
• What you have currently
○ Put it on Wago and link it
• What you want to achieve
○ In terms of what you want the WA to do, don't worry too much about the game mechanics involved as they're likely irrelevant to the help you will be given.
• What the code/Aura you have currently does or fails to do.
