helllo - is here a way
to make something like a progression bar - left to right bar - tracking the cd of multiple spells on one bar
icon wandering right to left - and dissapears if it reaches 0= rdy again
#progress bar / "timeline" cd track?

Check out the animations tab
The translate animation allows you to move the aura across the screen
next warren
so - the "base" is a progress bar?
next warren
so - slide from right?
fallen igloo
Don't think the default ones will do what you want, but try it out
You'd have to go custom likely
next warren
uhoh :<
fallen igloo
The custom animations aren't really complicated
next warren
ok - i found a solution to what i wanna do
is here a way to make spellicons like "blink"
appear and disappear
the only thing came in my mind would be something like
remaining duration = 1 - alpha 0
remaining duration = 0.9 aphla 100
etc - not even sure its able to "update" in 0.1 cycles ^^

the slide is really not hard to do
next warren
yeah - like i said - i alrdy found a solution for the slide
fallen igloo
yeah - like i said - i alrdy found a solution for the slide
I understood it as that your "solution" was instead to do some flashing and you gave up on the slide
The flashing you can also just do with animations
I updated the aura to flash at the end
next warren
my slide i kinda like ^^

Sorry to resurrect this very very dead topic, but this appears to be almost exactly what I am trying to do with one of my own WAs. I have zero lua knowledge and would need help learning how to mess around with this to meet my needs if either of you would be so inclined.
lyric jacinth
@fallen igloo This is the one, I didn't notice you had left the thread.
fallen igloo
And what exactly are your needs then?
lyric jacinth
I have mostly figured it out just fiddling with the values, I managed to set it where I want, moving vertically, with a background bar.
It could use a few extra features.
Like the background bar actually having "time anchors" on it instead of the progress just being a smooth slide the whole time.
If you can point me in the right direction on how to accomplish that I am more than happy to attempt it myself, but I don't really know where to start. Also it works pretty fine as is if you don't feel like messing with it. I do appreciate your attentiveness, though.

time anchors
You'd have to explain more in-depth what you want to show in the end. I have no clue what you mean with "time anchors"
lyric jacinth
That's what I have right now.
I guess a better word for it would be dynamic progress on the bar? Like, anything over 90s just sits at the top of it, and then the halfway point would be 30s and then 5s would be the last 1/4 of the bars length.
fallen igloo
Yeah that's doable. I'm not at the PC anymore and about to head to bed, but I can send you a mock-up here tomorrow.
With some comments in the code if you want.
lyric jacinth
Alright. I would greatly appreciate that.
fallen igloo
Alright. I would greatly appreciate that.
here, that slides like you describe: over 90s cd it stays at the bottom, 90 to 30s it travels 50%, 30s to 5 it travels 25%, 5 to 0 it travels the last 25%
that should automatically create an icon for each cd you have, no need to make seperate trackers
lyric jacinth
I actually only want it to track specific CDs.
fallen igloo
that doesn't matter, just copy the animation code then
and the one part in actions -> on init about the bar length
lyric jacinth
Each icon will need the animation code then?
fallen igloo
yes
lyric jacinth
Thanks a ton! I'll get to testing it right away.
lyric jacinth
I assume there is no way to smooth the animation? The icons do jitter a bit while moving if the bar is smaller.
fallen igloo
The smoothness of the animation is tied solely to your frame rate
