Well here I'll go over some of the more common problems or features when creating triggers. Status of energy, mana, hp, cd progress of items spells any kind of stance, or special class resource. Allowing you to make it when one of many triggers is met, or all triggers are met.Ĭustom - Custom Lua code, triggers based on events that get sent to the client from the server.Įvent - Set triggers for bigwigs alters, chat messages, combat log (a simplified version of custom trigger), cooldown ready for item/spell, ready check timer. At the top you have the option of adding additional triggers. But think of a trigger like activation, you want the aura to do what it does (icon, texture, sound, text), when whatever you set here, is met. I'll try and go over in detail when each type of trigger is used. Animation control aura movement, visibility, and colour. Actions can make chat messages, sounds button glows, or even custom code. Having load conditions also makes sorting through relevant auras easier. Having too many big auras (custom lua/groups), loaded can lag the game. Load controls if the aura is able to trigger at all. Trigger controls how the aura turns on, eg. Display controls the look of the aura, colours, size, position etc. Once you select the type of aura you want, you'll have option tabs that look something like this.
All auras have very similar options, the only thing that really changes how you trigger them.
Sometimes you just want a sound to play and no visuals, for that I just make a text aura with no text in it. Selecting an individual aura or group will give customization options for those.įirst figure out what you want to track, and how you want it to look. Currently selected new, shows the different types or auras you can create. From left to right, Check box to disable importing auras, Collapse WA options to a bar (mainly to view how auras look on your screen), and close.ĥ) Aura Options.

Plus or Minus collapses the groups.Ĥ) Global options. Eye turns on (green lfg icon), and off, either individual auras, entire groups, or loaded/unloaded groups. sorted by currently loaded, then alphabetical.ģ) Visibility options. (Note: some large groups might not export to string properly, there is a text limit, so make sure you can re-import them before saving the string).Ģ) List of aura's. Store the file in a Dropbox or somewhere else on your computer, or just leave it in the same folder.Īlternatively you can create a Github, or Pastebin account (both free), and just use the export to string option and save them in files on those accounts.

Personal suggestion is just creating a new name so that no other mods or WA itself might randomly modify it. The simplest is just backup the file found in "World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\YOURACCOUNTNAMEORNUMBER\SavedVariables\a", either by coping it with a different file name, or overriding "". There are a couple ways to back up your auras. DO THIS BEFORE UPDATING THE ADDON AT ANYTIME, or importing large aura groups. This is by far the most important thing so I'm covering it first. I'm using ElvUI which skin's away some of the look of WA's.
Some of the images linked may not be exactly the way you see it. I wanted to do it in text because it allows you to search the post for what you're looking for instead of trying to find where in a video something randomly is. This will try and be the best TLDR tutorial I can do. Added link to official documentation in advance resources.
