Hello guys

After last update addo I have some trouble with WA radar, written by someone from Method(before they separated). They just no longer show Shackled Torment range(wrought chaos works well). Here is the code(if need) - http://pastebin.com/dLNAaUEb

I don't know why he broke I didn't change anything. I play in russian realm, thats why all ability names - in russian.

 

Also I found a relatively new version(v17) of this radar but it doesn't work(even radar don't display). I change all ability name from English to Russian - radar start displays when they needed but don't  display any abilities (chaos and torment). Display only gray ring. Here is code of this radar - http://pastebin.com/gAi55Pz0

I think they'll be working if change ability name to ability ID, but I forget how to do it(and a little scary change something in such a large amount of code).

 

Can someone helped? Explain why my radar broked or help  change ability name to ability ID.

With regards.

Have you tried using Exoursus Raid Tools for this instead?  It works so much better than any custom weak aura would.

[Serafim1991 0]

Yes, but WA radar seems more beautiful to me. 

Just interesting why its broke after update

 

UPD: problem has solved. Download latest alpha version of WA

Hello! 

 

I tried looking for a Weak Aura string that does what I require but I haven't had any success so far, so here I am:

 

I need a W.A. that:

 

      Shows a "Chimaera Shot" icon in the middle of my screen when both: Chimaera Shot is Off Cooldown and

     I have over 35 Focus (Wich is required to cast it).

 

In other words I need a W.A. that reminds me to Cast Chimaera Shot on Cooldown to maximize my MM hunter dps.

 

Thanks for your time :)

Trigger: status -> Action Usable.

Just got into work atm so I can't really get on my computer to make it but it's very simple.

So, I'm planning on remaking my UI, and in doing so I've run into an wall: custom endpoints for a progress texture.  Context:  I'm trying to replace my focus bar with a set of 10 textures where each one is "worth" 10% of the focus bar (10 focus for SV, 12 for BM and MM).  For example, if I have 44 focus as MM, the WA would show 3 full textures and one that is 2/3 full.  What I can't figure out is the "how" on how to do this.  Any and all help is appreciated.

 

 

Also, Oda87, if you don't figure it out by tonight, I can easily modify my CS WA to not show if you don't have the required focus.

[Krazyito 521]

Go look at boomkings youtube for legion boomkin aura and see if the 40/80 marker is what you're looking for.

As well as the CS aura shouldn't need a focus requirement because action usable accounts for that already.

Thanks I should be able to look into it once I arrive home, have a great day!

Orthios, I copied your Chimaera Shot W.A. String and I'm loving it, however, what should I change for it to only show during combat, and when I have enough focus to cast? :)

[Orthios 272]

Go look at boomkings youtube for legion boomkin aura and see if the 40/80 marker is what you're looking for.

Mmmm, not quite.  I'm effectively trying to copy Blade and Soul's Chi bar (max of 10 Chi, one orb is filled for each Chi you have), and then incorporating the progression aspect of having in-between amounts of Focus.

I answered you in the PM, but will post it here as well for anyone else who want's to do the same:

 

To change the out of combat show/hide, go to the group settings (just click the group) > Load > In Combat check box.  

For the focus, there's a few ways to do this:

1)  Add a second Trigger (Trigger > Add Trigger) Type: Status > Status: Power > Power Type: Focus > Power >= 35.

2) Change the first Trigger from Status: Cooldown Progress (Spell) to Action Usable.

 

Either of these will work just fine.

I think I see.  Its going to be a custom duration.  Can't really work on it today, but here is some documentation you can read that might help: http://www.voximmortalis.com/threads/4328-WeakAuras-Tutoring-Thread?p=28136&viewfull=1#post28136

 

The top part of that post explains how the custom duration works.  The custom trigger can just be set to true and set load conditions. Then you just need to duration to be return currFocus, maxFocus, true

 

but you'll have to segment max focus for 10, 20, 30, etc for each texture.

 

so more like:

return currfocus / 10, true

return currfocus/ 20, true

 

etc...  Though not entirely sure what happens when you try to go over threshold

Is it possible to make a WA that automatically confirms talent switches? I'm familiar with the addon QuickTalents but not interested in having an extra menu on my screen.

 

I found this comment about the subject but I don't know how to turn that into a Weak Aura

http://www.wowhead.com/forums&topic=206666/macro-to-change-talents#p3288674

 

I haven't been able to find any addons that does this yet.

What do you mean by 'confirm' ?  You can make specific auras only appear based on specific talents, which is in the GUI menus under 'load'

[Woopza 1]

You know the confirmation menu that pops up when you try and switch a talent? An aura to automatically click yes on that one. I know it's very specific and weird.

Oh.  Maybe?  I think the command for that is pretty generic and works for all pop up boxes... so have to figure out what event runs when it comes up.  I'll look into it.

UPDATE: made a discord channel for help related questions.  Probably get better and faster responses here, and also hoping to get others to help respond as well.

Done.  You pretty much explained everyhting you need to do yourself under the trigger section.  I'm currently not home so I can't  get on WoW, but you should be able to follow the menus under Trigger to make it yourself.  

[CorkyDorky 0]

Ok at first it wasn't working than i made a new one did the same thing and it worked. Thank you very much!!! I have one more that I will ask about than I should just be able to duplicate and modify from there

Hello again I know I might be asking for much but I'm interested is it possible to get an icon to show that meets all this criteria

 

Cast  Haunt when:

• one of the following is true
  • Haunt's debuff is not applied on the target;
  • you have 4 Soul Shards;
• and one of the following is also true
  • you have a trinket proc;
  •  Dark Soul: Misery is up;
  • the boss is approaching death;
  • you have at least 3 Soul Shards (so that you have Soul Shards left when Dark Soul is up).

[Krazyito 521]

So a couple things.  Just to pre-face, I don't think I'm going to make this aura becasue of the below mentioned things and also it removes the decision making process from you to become a better player.  You KNOW all these  conditions. Just make auras showing you the information and  then make the haunt decision on your own (also I don't think casting haunt is as simple as you put it down).  Making a 'rotation helper aura' is kind of a crutch becasue it will never really be perfect, your own decision making will always be more accurate.  All you need to do is show the information on the screen for you to make it.

 

Cast  Haunt when:

• one of the following is true
  • Haunt's debuff is not applied on the target; -------------- Sure
  • you have 4 Soul Shards;   ------------------ Ok.
• and one of the following is also true
  • you have a trinket proc;  -------------- See 1
  •  Dark Soul: Misery is up; ------------ See 2
  • the boss is approaching death;  ---------- See 3
  • you have at least 3 Soul Shards (so that you have Soul Shards left when Dark Soul is up).     ---- See 4

 

1. This is very ambiguous.  I can't make an aura when a 'trinket proc is up' becasue there are hundreds of trinkets out there with different procs.  I can't account for every possible trinket you might have.  You need to make your own aura for a trinket separately to tell you when its up, otherwise you're going to be modifying this aura constantly.
2. Do you mean off cooldown or the buff is up?  Off cooldown, sure thats easy but again you can make an aura for that so you know when its up.  Same with the buff, you can make an aura showing that you have the buff up. (hint put the trinket next to this aura so you know when they are both up you you're good!)
3. Again, this is kind of ambiguous, you need a health threshold 20%? 15%? 5%? You can make a separate aura that says 'EXECUTE' or something like that when the boss is below the health value you want.
4. Easy with a shard tracking aura.

 

To conclude, I think it will be infinitely better for yourself and a player to make these conditions into seperate auras themselves then you make the quick decision when you see the information on your screen.

Understood, points well received, I appreciate your honesty and all that.

Hi

Is someone have an aura for Legendary ring(DPS ring) that displayed who took damage after ring explosion? For example, last phase on Archi mythic. When boss summoned a Source of Chaos(SoC) there are 2 targets who can take damage from DPS ring(boss and SoC). When ring explode I wanna see who took damage(doesn't matter how much, only who)
