WeakAuras2 Glowing Won't Stop

Guides UI and Macro

Despite many many hours spent in WA2, I’m still awful with using it. I just don’t think or speak in code. Could really use some help since my smooth brain is fried from spending just over an hour trying to get my Soulshape WA setup.

I want to glow an External Element on my Bartender4 bar when Convoke the Spirits is off cooldown. The frame name is BT4Button11. The current problems are it doesn’t start glowing until I’ve used the ability once regardless if it is off cooldown or not. It doesn’t stop glowing when on cooldown unless I open WeakAuras and then it will stop.

Trigger 1 is

  • Type: Event / Event: Cooldown Ready (Spell) / Spell: Convoke the Spirits / Hide" Timed 0 (what does Hide mean?)

Condition 1

  • If Trigger 1: Active - True / Then: Glow External Element - Glow Action Show / Glow Frame Type: Frame Selector - Glow Type: Action Button Glow / Frame: BT4Button11

Condition 2

  • If Trigger 1: Active - False / Then: Glow External Element - Glow Action Hide / Frame: BT4Button11

Actions Tab

  • On Show: Glow External Element - Glow Action Show / Glow Frame Type: Frame Selector - Glow Type: Action Button Glow / Frame: BT4Button11

  • On Hide: Glow External Element - Glow Action Hide / Glow Frame Type: Frame Selector - Glow Type: Action Button Glow / Frame: BT4Button11

I hope that makes sense since I’m not really sure how to type out my settings in a readable way. Sorry.

You’re using the wrong trigger.
The event trigger happens the moment the spell comes off cooldown.
Hide is how long to keep the trigger active after the event fires. I guess 0 means forever?

You need Status > Cooldown Progress (Spell)

Also, you shouldn’t need to use both conditions and actions for the glow.

Thank you very much. That fixed it. I’m so bad with this kind of stuff. You should see me trying to mod Skyrim! It’s not pretty, ha.

Again, thank you.
