My WA's behaves oddly

[young field]

Right, so I made some simple auras, they give me a visual and audio indication that buffs are missing. Specifically Battle shout and Battle/Berserker/Defensive stance.

However sometimes I hear the audio que play even though the buffs are up.
This happends on loading screens, such as when I HS to my garrison for example.

I have solved it by setting the audio to play in combat only, but it irks me I can't figure out why this happends.

I'm suspecting it's a WoW issue and not a WA issue, that they interact weirdly if my character isn't loaded in properly yet or somesuch...But does anyone know?

depends on what you're using to trigger your sound can you link your aura or post a screenshot of the part that plays the sound

Usually this problem is because the sound is set to play when the aura is shown and how that interacts with loading screens

[young field]

So, is there a better way of doing it...I'm not great at this stuff

And thank you by the way!

[leaden shoal]

you could try a condition, but i think it might have the same situation

audio cue's are weird when you want them to apply to a situation that is on-going

the audio will only play once even though the condition is still true. You could try using a combat log SPELL_AURA_REMOVED trigger for the sound so it only plays at the instant that the buff is removed.

Correct it only plays once.
I have others that loop every x seconds and such, but I do not desire that in this case, the sound is basically a backup in case I'm too tunnel-vision focused on a boss fight, to miss that huge yellow screamy orc face.
So having the sound muted outside of combat is good enough...But as I said it irks me that I do not understand the add-on well enough to do stuff "right"

[leaden shoal]

There's not really a right way to play a sound based on if you have/dont have a buff. It will always check buffs on loading or reload and potentially play the sounds when you don't want

[young field]

So...My guesstimation on why it was happening is somewhat correct, I'm a little surprised!

So can I trigger the sound separatly from the visual, or do I need two auras then?

[leaden shoal]

You need to trigger the sound in a different way

[young field]

I tried the SPELL_AURA_REMOVED and it probably works, but the visual dissapears after a few seconds..

[leaden shoal]

something that's an event and not a status

yea, you wouldn't want that trigger for the visual

only the sound

you could do it as a seperate aura

or make two triggers and play the sound in a condition

[young field]

Like so is how I "solved" it myself...But if there is not a "correct" or better way, then I guess this is a non-issue then?

[leaden shoal]

yeah, if what you did works for you then it's correct

[young field]

A'ight thank you kindly 😁
I'm so uncertain about this, it all feels like haphazard guesswork on my part.
