#Can't get the Count option to work on Boss Mod Timer

Hey! I have a Boss Mod Timer weakaura set up like this for a dungeon boss and I want to be able to display a different icon depending on the number of times the boss has cast this ability before. I am using BigWigs for the boss timer. Here's my weakaura setup:

When I check the "Count" option the Weakaura becomes totally non functional. Does this option not work with BigWigs or dungeon bosses? And if so, could someone suggest a potential workaround or way to implement the counting casts (e.g. this is the 4th Terrifying Slam) functionality?

The Count setting requires that the boss mod bar carries a test like "Terrifying Slam (3)".
It would be unusual for the boss mod not to do that for an ability like this, but sometimes the dungeon mods can lag behind a bit compared to the raids. Can you confirm that the timer bar for the ability does do that?

Next, ensure you're using the correct ID. You can do this with BW by opening the boss mod for that boss, and finding the ability. The ID will be in grey text on the top right

Thanks for the reply! Definitely using the correct ID, as it works when I turn count off. It does not look like the Boss Mod is counting them as Terrifying Slam (3) etc so that is probably the issue. Is there some sort of janky way to set this up myself? I tried a few things like setting up trigger on cast success to increment an aura_env variable but ultimately I wasn't able to figure out how to make that work

Combat log triggers also carry a count, but obviously they only show after the thing occurred and BW is all about predicting.
I guess you'll have to use a Watched Trigger and increment yourself. Bit of a pain. Can also edit the boss mod to count properly there.
