I'm trying to make a WA to notify me when I mouseover specific fishing nodes, I found and adapted a similar WA but it only works for world tooltips, not tooltips for minimap mouseovers.
Below is the current custom trigger, any help would be appreciated

function()
local NODE = GameTooltipTextLeft1:GetText()
if NODE and NODE:match('Infused Ichor Spill')
or NODE and NODE:match('Swarm of Slum Sharks')
or NODE and NODE:match('Festering Rotpool')
or NODE and NODE:match('Shore Treasure')
or NODE and NODE:match('Floating Deep Treasure') then
return true
end
end

What event are you using for this?

haughty cobalt
#

WORLD_CURSOR_TOOLTIP_UPDATE

#

Didn't think that could be it, is there a minimap equivalent?

stone crescent
#

I doubt it. You would have to check etrace

Seems the world tooltip event I was using doesn't show in the event log either

stone crescent
#

yeah it wouldn't on minimap

#

not sure there would be an event for mousing over the minimap like that

haughty cobalt
#

There seems to be addon's that manage it, not sure how
But they're much jankier than a simple WA would be

stone crescent
#

what addons do it?

that alerts when one appears on your minimap not when you mouseover it

#

hmm maybe it does use tooltip

haughty cobalt
#

I know, but if it can read the tooltip text, there must be a way

#

It doesn't necessarily need to be linked to a tooltip change as it appears that event is hidden to prevent bot abuse
But if something could read the text and flag for me, that would be cool

Like I used to use a macro for a similar thing when farming the void talon mount, but that sadly was also world tooltips not minimap

stone crescent
#

yeah so it looks like this addons it just constantly trying to put the minimap under your mouse cursor and then read the tooltip.

#

If you wanted to do something similar with weakauras you would just need to process every frame

haughty cobalt
#

Yeah I might pass on that, thanks
Guess that's why no such weak aura exists currently

stone crescent
#

Does this addon not work?

haughty cobalt
#

It does, but it stutters a lot and drops frames
