Scope of auras in a group

[leaden glade]

I'm trying to make a weakaura that checks for spell id inclusion in a large table, but I'm gonna make an aura for player, target, party1, party2.. etc. As far as I know, aura_env is local to each aura.

So, what's the best way have access to the same information within the group besides copy pasting the entire table to each one of my auras and redoing that each time I update the table? I could just make it global, but I know that's generally not the best solution. Should I do a WeakAuras.ScanEvents() and keep the table in some helper aura that just handles that?

You could keep it as one aura and just have a clone per respective unit, or is there a strict reason why it has to be multiple auras?

Sure that's both possible

There's not really a group scope like you want

I wouldn't know how to anchor to things without using the function in display which would have to be 1:1 with each unit. But as long as I'm not missing something, I can work with what I've got. Thanks for the response.

If you set a field called unit in the state to the respective unitId, then when using "anchored to: unit frames" WA will automatically anchor to the correct one

Trigger State Updater is an advanced custom trigger type that allows for the creation of clones, as well as generally being a very flexible custom trigger for almost all situations. While it is complex, the wiki aims to be thorough so please do use it.

So yeah if the anchoring is the issue you can do it with 1 aura
