I'am trying to replicate blizzard behavior on my ability icons, the global cooldown and press animation.

Any idea how to do it or some guide it's gonna be so helpful. Thanks!

gcd is easy, in the cooldown trigger open the extra options and tick "show gcd"

#

"press animation" doesn't make any sense

no you don't understand

#

what would a "press animation" mean for something which is not a button?

#

"when i click an ability on my action bar, i want an unrelated display to react as if it were also a button being pressed"

where there's a will there's a way, but i don't think you have the will to actually implement this kind of thing. it would be simpler to move your action bars to a more central location

Yeah, that's right 🤔

Thanks for help! ❤️

there's inded "a way", but it's quite the hassle and decently complicated.
I made this a while ago for someone that wanted it, maybe I finish it one day.

#

there do exist other versions, but they usually either perform really badly, or are not great at matching a keybind to an aura, etc.

If it's so complicated don't worry. I will use WA as regular

If I get around to finishing it eventually, I can ping you.

This version has "barely" any performance impact in combat as opposed to existing ones (and it's also way more flexible because the actual solution is made in WA as opposed to custom frames).
I'd say it's fine.

I would especially interested in a custom function that provides also the Keybinds like you have in your short video without the need of editing every weakaura because i play every class and nearly every specc so that's alot of work

You just put the name of the aura(s) or group(s) in the custom options and it puts up the overlay for those
