Make a WA go away after all trigger sequence met | WeakAuras Community | Page 1

My current issue is that after setting text, glow, and icon to off (not sure I did the icon part correctly), there is still an empty spot in the dynamic group that lasts until (I think) Hover charges go above 1.

How can I fix this?

More context below:
I made a WA with trigger 1 being 0 Hover charges, trigger 2 being Time Spiral not on CD, and Trigger 3 being currently buffed with Time Spiral buff.

The idea is that I would be reminded to press Time Spiral when I have no charges, and I need to get out of an emergency (trying to learn to press Time Spiral), but only show the icon when it's off cooldown of course.

Then if I gain a Hover charge it would go away again, or if I press Time Spiral it shows a timer for the time remaining on the buff. If I press another Hover, consuming the charge (or it runs out), the icon will go away, and the dynamic group that this WA is inside will move back down.

are you hiding your aura by using alpha=0%

oak plover Sep 28, 2024, 2:10 AM

#

No, because I figured that wouldn't work

#

Do the triggers keep the WA active?

#

I figured setting alpha to 0 would make it invisible, but still take up space in the dynamic group

gleaming socket Sep 28, 2024, 2:13 AM

#

yea, setting alpha does that

#

If you want more specific help share your aura

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.

Use Time Spiral

Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements

gleaming socket Sep 28, 2024, 3:42 AM

#

trigger 4 is always active, that will keep your aura active always

#

also you have the icon set to manual with no default.

#

if you change the default to automatic, then you'll see an icon which will give you an idea of why your aura is active

#

also you don't need to make a negative condition for turning off glow. You only need to do that if you're using glow external

oak plover Sep 28, 2024, 8:40 AM

#

Ok, I set automatic, and removed turn off glow. I also deleted Trigger 4, that was my attempt to turn stuff off

#

A lot of these things were because I can't figure out exactly what certain things do in the addon

#

So I tried to figure out though trial and error

oak plover Sep 28, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

I guess I didn't mention that its still not working right

#

It shows the Time SPiral icon at all times

#

and when I run out of Hover charges, it shows the Hover icon

#

I was trying to use custom function in triggers

#

Not sure if that's the right path though

gleaming socket Sep 28, 2024, 10:54 PM

#

do you not want to track hover?

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 12:45 AM

#

No, I already have something for that. I just want to use the number of charges to determine if I should show Time Spiral

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 4:24 AM

Like I mentioned in the original post:


Then if I gain a Hover charge it would go away again, or if I press Time Spiral it shows a timer for the time remaining on the buff. If I press another Hover, consuming the charge (or it runs out), the icon will go away, and the dynamic group that this WA is inside will move back down.```

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 5:53 AM

#

If you dont want to track hover then remove the trigger that's tracking it

#

I don't know anything about Time Spiral I just assumed that hover had some interaction with it

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:00 AM

#

Ok, but then how can I show Time Spiral only when I have 0 charges of Hover? I want to act on the number of Hover charges, without showing anything until charges are 0

#

Time Spiral is an Evoker ability that gives you and everyone in raid a charge of some kind of class movement ability

#

I'm tracking it for my benefit firstly. meaning if I have zero Hover charges left, and I see my Time Spiral WA is on, then I know that I have no charges, and Time Spiral is available to press

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:04 AM

so you DO want to track hover

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:04 AM

#

Sure, I want it to be an event that I can act upon, but I don't want anything to show with only that event, I want a particular icon to show when multiple events are met

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:05 AM

#

what events

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:05 AM

#

I'm trying to avoid the use of the word trigger here

#

because it means something particular in WAs

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:05 AM

#

not sure why

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:05 AM

#

Dude, this is pointless

#

Like, I can't find good documentation on this

#

and you don't seem to understand what i want

#

I know that you are doing this on your own time

#

But like we're going in circles

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:07 AM

#

let me tell you what I think you want. you tell me how far off i am

#

You want to show an icon for Time Spiral when you have 0 charges of hover and Time Spiral is not on cooldown.

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:07 AM

#

Yes, that's part 1

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:08 AM

#

ok

#

Trigger 1 track time spiral cooldown, select -> Not on cooldown
Trigger 2 track Hover cooldown/charges and specify charges < 1

#

trigger order is important

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:09 AM

#

Ok, done

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:09 AM

#

does that act how you expect?

#

or how you want i mean

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:11 AM

#

Nothing shows up at this time

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:11 AM

#

link me what you have

#

you can just paste the string

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:12 AM

#

You're also tracking the Time Spiral aura in this

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:12 AM

#

Yes, that's part 2

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:13 AM

#

right, I was getting to that part

#

I wanted to see if without that it acts how you want, minus tracking the aura

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:13 AM

#

ok, deleted

#

Ok, now I see the icon

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:14 AM

#

does it show up and disappear when you want?

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:14 AM

#

One moment for a Hover charge to come back

#

Yes, it does

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:15 AM

#

ok, so to add tracking the aura timer on the same aura you'll need to put the aura as the 1st trigger so it uses that as dynamic info, and you'll need a custom activation

#

!customactivation

north hingeBOT Sep 29, 2024, 9:15 AM

#

Required for Activation = custom

function(trigger)
    return trigger[1] and (trigger[2] or trigger[3])
end

https://github.com/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/wiki/Aura-Activation-and-Deactivation#custom

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:15 AM

#

in your case you'll want

function(t)
    return t[1] or (t[2] and t[3])
end

#

This tells the aura that if either Trigger1 is active OR Both Trigger2 and trigger3 are active show the aura.

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:17 AM

#

Right, I did mess around with that at one point

#

Thought it might be necessary

#

I've added back the Aura trigger[3], and made the custom activation

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:18 AM

#

the aura trigger needs to be trigger1

#

move it from 3 to 1

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:18 AM

#

Done

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:18 AM

#

use the custom activation I put and test

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:19 AM

#

Seems correct, now, I need to re-add the condition so that it turns on text, and shows time remaining from trigger[1]

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:20 AM

#

if you dont want the text for everything else yea. simple condition for that

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:20 AM

#

I need to wait a minute for Time Spiral to come off cooldown

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:20 AM

#

If you go to a training grounds you can reset all your cooldowns

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:20 AM

#

Like in MoP?

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:21 AM

#

ya

#

the instanced thing

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:21 AM

#

Ah, ok, I was wondering about that

#

like the M+ NPCs that do that when you go over time

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:21 AM

#

pretty much

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:21 AM

#

Ok, it works perfectly now

#

So ultimately the problem was the trigger order

#

That's what I didn't know

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:22 AM

#

Dynamic info from first active trigger is default

#

goes based on trigger order

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:22 AM

#

Yeah, I had tried to set it to Dynamic on Trigger 2, but then it wouldn't change

#

Before, when the Trigger were different

gleaming socket Sep 29, 2024, 9:23 AM

#

if you ever have an aura that you want dynamic info from multiple triggers at the same time then you have to do custom

oak plover Sep 29, 2024, 9:23 AM

#

Yes, I kinda figured something like thta

#

Ok

#

Well, thank you for your time
