#Having trouble getting spell cooldown swipes working.

I'm setting up custom "Action Usable", and I want to see the spells cooldown, either (idealy both) or with the cooldown swipe or timer number, but it's not doing either.

-I have "enable Swipe" and "Show Swipe" checked under "Swipe Overlay Settings".
-I've tried with and without "Hide Timer Text".
-I've tried every one of the string options... %s (the default), %t, %p, etc... (I think %p sounds like the right now)

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong

Y you will need to share that one

What is the idea behind the 3 auras doing the same? If it's about desaturation, check the conditions they can do that. Try checking the "premade" auras when you press new

brazen sun
#

How do I share it? New to Power Auras.

Power Auras is this 2012?

!linkit explains how I think

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.

@spice cargo Trying out your conditional idea. I've switched the aura to "Spell Known" instead of a pair of "Action Usable"... and intending to put the desaturation and alpha fade out on a conditional. I don't see it changing at all.

#

Can you try creating a new weakaura and select "From Template" and pick one of those

Im afraid you've took a heavy wrong turn in your current one

brazen sun
#

Ooo, nice! Much Better Surarn ! The template is working great, thanks!!

#

Had no idea that was available!

spice cargo
#

Also glows are in conditions and don't need an extra thing.

#

In general you don't need to create the same aura multiple times.

#

Just look how the templates are made

brazen sun
#

Roger. In this case, I have a custom tga I made that has a purple outline... to communicate that the ability "uses fury"... I don't want it desaturating and fading when it's unready/lacking resources.

Is that possible to build in to a new conditional in the same aura?

spice cargo
#

Add a border, or pixel glow

#

Yes, just a condition

brazen sun
#

Roger... Trying!

Here's the work flow for any Aura:

1. Think about all the info that the Aura you're trying to make will need.
2. Make a trigger for each piece of info
3. Decide which info should be sent as Dynamic Info and order the triggers accordingly.
3a. Order them so that "Dynamic Info from First Active" catches the right info, or select a specific trigger.
4. Decide which triggers need to be involved in overall activation of the Aura and change Required for Activation accordingly
4a. All (default), Any or Custom (e.g. function(t) return t[1] and (t[2] or t[3]) end) - https://github.com/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/wiki/Aura-Activation-and-Deactivation#custom
4b. This step lets you include triggers that will be used only for Conditions but excluded from Activation entirely.
5. Make your conditions using the info from the triggers.

While working through this and building your Aura, if there's anything you're unsure of, just ask in the appropriate Help channel.

Hmmm, I can't seem to get the aura to stay full opacity whille the rest of the aura fades. It passes whatever the icon opacity is... to the border.

#

ok, new thing I'm testing. I want my Fel Rush to glow (to get rid of another duplicate aura) when I have the "Unbound Chaos" buff.

Can conditionals look at things unrelated to the spell itself?

spice cargo
#

Add a buff trigger

brazen sun
#

Oooo!

#

Hmmm, If I add a second trigger, it's generally (when I don't have the buff) returning 'false', so now my aura no longer shows up. How to I remove Trigger 2 ignored base logic of the aura, and then route it's state to the glow?

spice cargo
#

The very top of the trigger tab

#

And please don't use the exact spellid, just enter the id in the name field

brazen sun
#

Very top of the Trigger Tab? What do I change there?

And if I use the spell name, it's giving me the wrong icon for some reason:

spice cargo
#

The icon is unimportant and I meant using the id in the name field

#

Required for activation, when do you want it to be active?

brazen sun
#

Ah, I see "Required for Activation". How do I make it use Trigger 1, but not 2. I see I can do a custom function.

spice cargo
#

Will trigger 1 ever be false?

brazen sun
#

So... I want Trigger 1 to be used by the whole aura. and then Trigger 2, is only used to hide/show the glow.

#

I don't think so, no.

#

It's got 'Show Always'.

spice cargo
#

So you can just use any, it's not like it will ever show when you don't want to

brazen sun
#

Ah, roger! Makes sense!
