WeakAuras raid debuff announcing (multiple targets)

[Deleted]

Hello, I have no knowledge regarding LUA (or weakauras), i've been trying to set up weakaura's to announce a certain debuff that a boss does to the raid which players have been afflicted with.

example: Blade Lord does Wind Step on 2 people called Alice & Bob, these two get announced then by weakaura's.

Now I've used http://www.wowace.com/addons/weakaur...ayer-names/#p2 as it had pretty much what I wanted, so far I have the following:

The entire code is denoted using COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED event:

function(event, timestamp, message, hideCaster, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, sourceRaidFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, destRaidFlags, ...)
  -- Check for new aura event, can also be 
  --  * SPELL_AURA_APPLIED auraType (new aura)
  --  * SPELL_AURA_REMOVED auraType (aura completely removed)
  --  * SPELL_AURA_APPLIED_DOSE auraType amount (new stack of aura)
  --  * SPELL_AURA_REMOVED_DOSE auraType amount (removed stack of aura)
  --  * SPELL_AURA_REFRESH auraType (existing aura refreshed)
  --  * SPELL_AURA_BROKEN auraType
  --  * SPELL_AURA_BROKEN_SPELL extraSpellID    extraSpellName    extraSchool    auraType 
  if message == "SPELL_AURA_APPLIED" then
    -- Additional arguments
    local spellId, spellName, spellSchool, auraType = ...
    
    -- Compare caster and spell
    if sourceName == "PlayerName" and (spellName == "Sated" or spellId == 57724) then
      -- Add chat ("RAID" can also be "RAID_WARNING")
      SendChatMessage(sourceName or "UNKNOWN" .. " applied Aura " .. spellName or "UNKNOWN" .. (destName and " to " or "") .. destName or "", "SAY");

      -- Want to whisper?
      if destName then
         SendChatMessage(sourceName or "UNKNOWN" .. " applied Aura " .. spellName or "UNKNOWN" .. " to you!", "WHISPER", nil, destName);
      end

      -- Show display
      return true
    end
  end
end  

Now I've tested this code using Bloodlust on my shaman, the event triggers and it works fine however the chat function does not seem to be working correctly. It displays the sourcename and that's it, it does not add the applied aura or any of the rest, the whisper function works as in it whispers myself when I get the sated debuff (with my own BL) but again only with the playername and nothing else. I've had 2 others in the raid but none of them had a message or anything. I've played around slightly and got spellname, sourcename working however destName does not work, if I enter just a simple chat message with destname it just breaks for some reason.

I've no clue what went wrong with the sendchatmessage, I hope someone could enlighten me.

Thanks in advance.

Try:

function(event, timestamp, message, hideCaster, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, sourceRaidFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, destRaidFlags, ...)
	-- Check for new aura event, can also be 
	--  * SPELL_AURA_APPLIED auraType (new aura)
	--  * SPELL_AURA_REMOVED auraType (aura completely removed)
	--  * SPELL_AURA_APPLIED_DOSE auraType amount (new stack of aura)
	--  * SPELL_AURA_REMOVED_DOSE auraType amount (removed stack of aura)
	--  * SPELL_AURA_REFRESH auraType (existing aura refreshed)
	--  * SPELL_AURA_BROKEN auraType
	--  * SPELL_AURA_BROKEN_SPELL extraSpellID    extraSpellName    extraSchool    auraType 
	if message == "SPELL_AURA_APPLIED" then
		-- Additional arguments
		local spellId, spellName, spellSchool, auraType = ...

		-- Compare caster and spell
		if sourceName == "PlayerName" and (spellName == "Sated" or spellId == 57724) then
			-- Add chat ("RAID" can also be "RAID_WARNING")
			local message = (sourceName or "UNKNOWN") .. " applied Aura " .. (spellName or "UNKNOWN");
			if destName ~= nil then
				message = message .. " to " .. destName;
			end
			SendChatMessage(message, "SAY");

			-- Want to whisper?
			if destName then
				SendChatMessage((sourceName or "UNKNOWN") .. " applied Aura " .. (spellName or "UNKNOWN") .. " to you!", "WHISPER", nil, destName);
			end

			-- Show display
			return true
		end
	end
end

I've tried it and it displays 'Playername applied Aura Sated" but doesn't include "to destName", I can't figure out why destination name isn't working at all.

Thanks anyhow for the help

[edit]: after using print(sourceName, spellName, destName) it seems that the first two work fine but destName returns nil

[edit 2]: okay so it seems that spell_cast_start has a return function of nil in the combat log, silly me as I was using this to test.

[edit 3]: I got it all working now, thanks for the help!

One more question, is it possible to give these people a raid marker just like a bossmod does if they have the debuff? (as in use raid markers 1 to 8 and keep overwriting from 1 after it hits 8)

[Deleted]

Names are valid unitIDs if the player is in your party or raid. Just pass them to SetRaidTarget (and keep a counter that increments from 1 to 8, then resets to 1.

[Deleted]

So is it possible to pass destName onto UnitID? http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api_types#unitID seems to not mention it.

[Deleted]

As I said, assuming the dest unit is in your group (it will be for Sated), its name is a valid unitID. Pass it to SetRaidTarget as arg1.

SetRaidTarget(destName,1-8)

oh I see, thanks.

Okay so I got everything working but the only problem is how do I implement the function to increment the counter? Global variables don't seem to work in the WeakAura's trigger custom box because right now I have no way of telling the trigger function that it's the 2nd run or so on.

(Sorry for these questions, I'm completely inexperienced in any sort of coding)

Thanks in advance.

Edit: never mind! solved it.
