I am trying to add sounds to a few of my weakauras. I want the sound to play on when a spell is off cooldown and ready to use. The way the weakaura is currently configured, when a spell is not available, it drops out of view on the weakaura bar and reappears a few seconds before it is off cooldown. The problem I’m having is the sound triggers when the weakaura pops back on the bar, even if there are 5 seconds left until usable. If I the weakaura always visible, then the sound never plays. I can set the remaining time trigger to 1 second, but then the weakaura won’t appear until just before I can use it, which makes pre-planning difficult. Any help would be appreciated.
I’m no expert, but for the CD’s important enough to add sound to, I have them in duplicate. One which is faded & shows up when the spell is on cooldown for the last 60 seconds. The second which shows up when the spell is available. With the glow & sometimes in a bigger size. A similar setup should permit adding sound to the 2nd one.
For sound cues, you can use the Conditions:

On Cooldown = False means that it will play when the ability/item is off cd (assuming you’ve set the WA to trigger based on the cooldown progress of whatever you’re tracking).

Follow up question for spells that have two charges before they go on cooldown, how would that work?
There is a condition for Charges as well. If you replace [On Cooldown, False] with [Charges, =, X], where x is the number of charges you want to have when the sound goes off, it should work the same.

Thank you so much!
This answered my question perfectly! thank you Wiggly!
Necro, but relevant as Weak Auras has been updated.
Here’s an import string that does not show the icon but will play a sound 0.5 seconds before a spell comes off cooldown. Just go to the trigger tab and under trigger 1 type in the spell ID in to the spell section. If you have your weak auras set to show in combat, it will not make a sound when they pop up initially, only after the spell has been used and coming off cooldown.
