Dynamically Updating AP WA

[Calrissian]

Hey there, I'm trying to make a weakaura that updates as my attack power fluctuates. I've looked at a couple of threads and can't seem to find a way to get one that works. All I want is a text read out of my current attack power. Thank you!

That'll work, but if you still want to do it with WA:

Edit: Just for laughs, in case you want to recreate this by hand, it works pretty simply.

Under the display tab

- Display Text: %c
- Update Custom Text On: Trigger Update
- Custom Function:

function()
    local ap, _,_ = UnitAttackPower("player")
    return ap
end

We only care about the first value returned from UnitAttackPower, so we snag it and return it.

Under the trigger tab:

- Type: Custom
- Event Type: Status
- Check On: Event(s)
- Event(s): UNIT_ATTACK POWER (fired when your attack power changes)

For short:

function()
    return (UnitAttackPower("player"))
end

Neat, thanks. Never really was sure how to handle multiple returned values.
