Check in conditionals if two remainingTime vars are within 1 second of each each other?

[plush surge]

I want to make a weakaura glow if spell 2 is on cooldown but spell 1 has a charge ready and its cooldown will finish in approximately the same time spell 2 comes off cooldown if I use up a charge. A simple "if var2-var1 <= 1 then" basically. How would I implement that in this case? :

[gritty siren]

function(states)
  if states[1].show and states[2].show and states[1].expirationTime and states[2].expirationTime then
    return abs(states[1].expirationTime - states[2].expirationTime) < 1
  end
end

curious, wouldn't it be more performant to just tackle the timing check in another trigger? idk what the performance hit would be for the custom logic but I feel like setting a third trigger for spell 2 where its on cd but the time left to charge is the total cd of spell 1 would be how I'd tackle it and avoid custom logic

This is a very cheap check

good to know

I think you're imagining that it runs every frame or something. It doesn't

Thanks!

Works great!

I guess I never really checked into how often these conditionals are evaluated but I assumed it triggered decently frequently

like prolly more event based then

Custom Checks runs on Trigger Update, plus any events you list.

good to know, kinda niche q but I feel like I might change a few auras I have to squeeze an ultra tiny bit of more performance out of them -- would this then be a better alternative to listing several triggers and having custom trigger logic to only trigger off the first but use data from the non-triggering triggers?

since iirc custom trigger logic is a bit of a performance hit as well even if its usually pretty simple

Honestly, no idea.
You're probably splitting some very fine hairs there.

[gritty siren]

is it?

[outer grail]

thought it was but theres def some hair splitting dramatics being thrown out every now and again

just was curious tho since there isnt really a "suggested / best practices" guide out there detailing what you should and shouldnt do besides "creating frames is bad, clickable buttons are bad"
