Trigger State Updater is an advanced custom trigger type that allows for the creation of clones, as well as generally being a very flexible custom trigger for almost all situations. While it is complex, the wiki aims to be thorough so please do use it.

#

make a field like unit = raid1 in your state

#

then any unit frame glow (from conditions or actions) will glow the frame belonging to that unit token

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 9:10 PM

#

hm, where do I put that exactly? sorry I'm very new to writing custom code in auras

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 9:14 PM

#

read the wiki article linked there

#

you can not just "put" it anywhere, your trigger would need to be a TSU

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 9:15 PM

#

ah ok, I created a smart group aura with a custom trigger that collects the longest duration, but I'm guessing thats a bad way to go about doing it

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 9:17 PM

#

not really, you reached your goal no?

#

it's just that to glow a specific unit frame, you'd then need something slightly different

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 9:18 PM

#

so I create an additional TSU trigger? or do I have to drop my original?

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 9:21 PM

#

you could just make your original into a TSU

#

export your aura if you care to

Really appreciate your help, thanks so much

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 9:24 PM

#

oh, that's not really a custom trigger 😄

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 9:24 PM

#

haha I guess not

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 9:24 PM

#

while whatever you're doing there certainly works, using the custom trigger function like that is not really the way if you wanna do more with it

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

Yea I can imagine, thats where the TSU comes in handy I suspect?

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

and you're iterating over all your auras there and doing multiple API calls to get info about the buffs

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

ah yea makes sense why its bad

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

when you have a trigger there that already contains all that info

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

you make a very good point

#

like that

#

this is looking at power word shield obviously, you'd put some other aura in trigger 2

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

Awesome, thanks so much for your help, can I add a 3rd trigger and use that for activation to only proc the WA during a specific boss mechanic?

#

I know how to do that trigger, just wondering if the TSU will work with a 3rd, unrelated trigger as 'required for activation'

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

sure that'd work

#

in that case this specific one would break in the sense that the text would always show as has the longest Buff!

#

even if no one has the buff

#

but you don't want the text anyways, eh? just the glow. and that'll work

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 10:15 PM

#

yea only the glow, so I just remove the display text?

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 10:16 PM

#

ye you can just delete it

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 10:17 PM

#

cheers, can't tell you how much help you've been

#

anothing thing aswell if you don't mind hehe

for i, GUID in ipairs(aura_env.affected) do
            local _, _, _, _, duration, expirationTime = WA_GetUnitDebuff(aura_env.GUIDToUnit[GUID], aura_env.targetSpellID)
            
            allstates[GUID] = {
                show = true,
                changed = true,
                unit = aura_env.GUIDToUnit[GUID],
                progressType = "timed",
                duration = 8,
                expirationTime = 8 + GetTime(),
                autoHide = true,
                index = i
            }

I want to fire off an event and send the raid position (raid1, raid2 etc) as an argument, can that be accessed with that code?

#

actually, I can probably send the name of the player and then iterate through the raid with UnitIsUnit?

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

idk what exactly you want

#

send which unit ID from where to where

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 10:29 PM

#

I want to get the raid position of a player, either by name or id

#

trying to loop through the frames and compare names with UnitIsUnit now and CompactRaidFrame, but i can't get it to work

#

oh actually it is working, but I'm getting nil

#

frame = _G["CompactRaidFrame"..i]

this thing is returning nil

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 10:34 PM

#

I want to get the raid position of a player, either by name or id

#

I don't understand this

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 10:35 PM

#

it is working now

#

I can find the player that matched

#

the position of that player

#

1-20

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 10:35 PM

#

you mean the one that has the longest debuff?

#

should've said that right away 😄

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 10:35 PM

#

not specifically, just trying to understand TSUs and events more 😄

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

    -- do smth
end```

#

that iterates over all group members

#

where unit is the respective unit token, raid1 to raid20

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

oh thats awesome, very clean

#

will try it

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

(or party1 to party5 if in a party)

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

yea

#

then how would I best "export" that unit? if I want to make it glow for example

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

So, pass it along to some other code block or something?

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

Yea, say that it gives me 'raid3' for example, how do I make raid3 glow?

leaden parcel Sep 27, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

I mean, I just gave you an example aura

#

And the TSU wiki article is linked above

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

yea I guess thats the same thing, I dont quite understand it but ill give it some more thought, tyvm 🙂

uncut thistle Sep 27, 2024, 11:37 PM

#

ok, I've gotten it to glow now, but I'm having trouble with hiding it... the timer properly happens but the glow does not hide

function(allstates, event, ...)
    if event == "LAGET_ASSIGNMENT_FAR" then
        local name = ...
        local unit = nil
        
        for unitID in WA_IterateGroupMembers() do
            if name == UnitName(unitID) then
                unit = unitID
                print("unit: ", unit)
                break
            end
        end
        
        if unit then
            allstates[unit] = {
                show = true,
                changed = true,
                unit = unit
            }
            
            C_Timer.After(2, function()
                    allstates[unit].show = false
                    allstates[unit].changed = true
            end)
        end
        
        return true
    end
    
    return false
end

#

Think I fixed it by making it a progressType = "timed" with a duration and autohide, hopefully thats a decent way to do it
