this weakaura that i found announces in party chat when i heal someone with lay on hands (among other things), any idea how i can also make it show the amount healed at the end of the message? so it would be: "i healed X with lay on hands for Y amount"

mouseover the textbox to see all options.

The dynamic text codes window shows all available text codes.
Clicking a text code will insert it directly into the text area.
When you need to immediately follow a text replacement with more text (without a space between) you may shift+click any text code to insert them in the curly brackets format, like: %{2.p}seconds

no one likes your ugly commands!

i did and i tried a bunch of them but the ones i used didn't work for me. which code should i be looking for?
fossil delta
if you don't see the option for healing done or something similar then you would need to add a trigger that has that info
wise agate
what are the options?
and what is the trigger?
starting with something old is in this case harder than not
forest needle
and what is the trigger?
i removed some spells from the original WA and added flash of light because it has no CD and it's easier for testing
wise agate
being successfull in a cast doestn mean you healed something
you want to event for healing
forest needle
and those are the text options, assuming that's what you meant
so that would be custom > event > and then i'd have to make a custom trigger?
wise agate
no, its still a combatlog trigger
fossil delta
yeah that CLEU SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS doesn't have the healing amount info You need CLEU SPELL_HEAL
!cleu
wise agate
cleu just means combatlog. there is no code involved at any point
fossil delta
forest needle
no, its still a combatlog trigger
okay so i still keep the trigger type as combat log, and then spell > heal(?)
wise agate
yes
forest needle
done. so now which code am i supposed to add to the text message to make the amount healed show?
gilded plank
IIRC it's just %amount. Check it.
forest needle
ohh right. i didnt think it works this way
yeah its 1.amount, i just clicked on the option and it automatically put in the text
wise agate
text replacements depend on the trigger
forest needle
okay it works perfectly, thanks 😄
but one last thing, is it possible to consolidate the number and make it shorter? let's say we make it 2 or 3 digits instead of 6?
wise agate

💩
wise agate
point proven!
forest needle
sorry to pump this but one last thing lol, my lay on hands always heals for 10m and that's what the weakaura always shows--can i make it show the actual healing and exclude the overhealed amount?
wise agate
!cleu how does the event look. (you still dont need coding knowledge)

You can use this Aura, https://wago.io/CLEU-IN-ETRACE (works fine in all game versions, not just retail), to add the detailed info into the Etrace tool.
For more info on Events and Etrace see #pins message
forest needle
im a bit lost, is this what you mean by event?
wise agate
no, you can use etrace(witht he aura attached) to look at whats happening in the game
forest needle
i see what you mean. i installed the weakaura and did /etrace
there are many lines that keeps adding up in the event log every time i cast a spell or mouseover anything
should i cast lay on hands and post screenshot of the event log window?
wise agate
you should cast lay on hands, and find the event of it in the list
forest needle
okay i did cast it and this is what i got
gilded plank
No, that's missing the relevant combat log events.
forest needle
i assume this "combat_log_event..etc" is what we are looking for
this line only shows when i cast flash of light or some random spell, but it doesn't show when i cast lay on hands for some reason
gilded plank
That is quite literally impossible.
Considering that you do have a combat log trigger for LoH in your existing aura, and it works as you said.
If the combat log trigger works, then there's gonna be a combat log event.
forest needle
okay i think it did work
wise agate
i never saw that they are numbered
forest needle
here you go sir 🙂

Arg 15 is the amount it healed in total for, arg 16 is the amount of overheal out of that.
The amount it "actually" healed for isn't included, so you'd have to do math for that yourself.
As in: amount minus overheal = actual heal (so in this case 0)
With purely the built in trigger you can't do that.
You'd have to do some custom code no matter what.
You said this is for announcing in party chat right? Where do you announce, probably via actions -> on show -> chat message?
forest needle
i see
yes that is correct, and the message type is set to "bg>raid>party>say"
also thats another thing, the WA doesnt work when im not in party even though it's set announce in /say
but thats besides the point
gilded plank
You can't automate messages to /s and /y outside of instances with add-ons.
Limitation by Blizzard, to prevent spam etc.
Even tells you with a little warning in the actions tab.
gilded plank
Anyways, just remove that actions -> on show -> chat message stuff.
Instead make it actions -> on show -> custom
And enter this:
if aura_env.state and aura_env.state.destName then
local heal = aura_env.state.amount and aura_env.state.overheal and aura_env.state.amount - aura_env.state.overheal or 0
SendChatMessage("My Lay on Hands healed " .. aura_env.state.destName .. " for " .. heal, "PARTY")
end
Do note that I'm not at my PC, idk if the entry in the state table for the overheal is literally called overheal. If it isn't, this won't work.
But I can check later when I'm at the PC if that's the case.
wise agate
you can do %c in a chat message
gilded plank
Oh true
forest needle
appreciate the help mate. no worries, there's no rush
so this is what im getting now after putting the custom code you gave me
wise agate
0 is not a good value to test it with.
gilded plank
Yeah then the overheal amount isn't called overheal internally ig. I can't tell you what it's called rn.
forest needle
all good
wise agate
can you mouseover the textbox for the text replacements?
forest needle
i will test %c in 2 minutes, loh is on CD now lol
wise agate
c needs still code
and the window with the text replacements well tell the name we need
or well, guffin needs
