Set whole group to load when have target, in combat or certain spells on CD

[mighty steppe]

I have a complex aura with many nested groups and children, and I'm trying to make the whole aura only load when I have a target, am in combat, or have my movement abilities on cooldown.

My poking around online indicates you can't achieve all of this using load options only, and can only do it with triggers (as discussed here https://github.com/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/issues/2275)

The issue I'm finding is how to apply these triggers to the whole group in such a way as not to disturb the existing triggers of all the children. I've tried making a test aura with the triggers I want and copying it across to the aura I am working on, only to have it completely break as it will indiscriminately apply them over the top of the existing triggers.

Is the only way for me to achieve this truly for me to isolate only the elements in the aura I want to appear on target etc. and apply the triggers I want "by hand"?

My UI rabbithole hyperfocus is enough to get me to actually do that, but I wanted to check if there was a more elegant way first!

The quick solution is just to have one single invisible aura that has the triggers that fulfill these conditions

And anchor all your stuff to that aura

When the aura gets untriggered/hidden, the stuff anchored to it does as well

Huh, cool! I didn't know you could do that. I'll try that out now 😄
