I created a weak aura icon for warrior revenge proc. It fires with a glow but the %s %p doesn’t work.
What I’m trying to do is get a count down of remaining proc time so I can time my execution at the right moment.
Proc (visible with glow)
10. (Count down remaining time to use it)
9
8
…
Type behavior
Can anyone share how to set this up? Is it possible?
It depends on where you want to see it.
You can create a custom “timer” for an icon that looks and behaves just like a normal cooldown timer and overlay it on top of the proc’d icon when it is up.
That’d be my first choice.
The WA site has some good information on how to do that.
Hey thanks for the guidance. will take a look later this week.
%s and %p work off the first trigger and if the Aura trigger isn’t trigger 1, they won’t work.
Also, some abilities may have multiple auras/buffs associated with them. When you get the buff, hover your mouse over it and make sure that name is what you’re using in the WA trigger. And if that isn’t working try changing the match from “Least amount of time remaining” to “Most amount of time remaining”.
Finally if that doesn’t work, you may have to select the “Exact Match” option on the trigger which requires a spell id.
You can get the spell id from wowhead but sometimes it’s really buried and there may be multiple spells/auras with the same name but different id’s. What I do is run the script below (just copy and paste it into the chat window and hit enter) which dumps out my auras with their spell id’s. I can then use the spell id in the exact match.
/run for i=1,100 do local n,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,id=UnitAura("player",i) if n ~= nil and id ~=nil then print(n..": "..id) end end print("done")
Sometimes though the WoW API isn’t going to return a duration for a Unit Aura. Nothing you, I or WeakAura can do about that. The Mage’s Rune of Power is one such example.
Thanks that was magic! I have it working with countdown remaining to use it.
I changed trigger to be aura, used exact spell id. changed display to show %p. now it procs and gives me my time left counter :).
as a humble confession I did call it the wrong thing in this thread. the skill was “Victory Rush” the proc changes to “Victorious”
anyway thank you both for your help here.
