Weak Aura track buff refresh

[boomkinhero]

I want to keep a running counter during combat to keep track of number of buff refreshes for Shooting Stars proc. It's easy to look it up on WoL but I'd like something more real time. I am unsure if and/or how a WA can track a combat log event (or even if there's another way to go about doing this).

Does Skada or Recount not tell you the amount of procs?

What you said is possible in WA however tracking combat could be quite difficult (I think) if you factor in combat res on you if you die, otherwise you would have to create custom code for events PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED. PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED and COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED if you want it to reset when you die. There might be an easier way but I can't think of one right now.

If I could have the code for just tracking it within WA, I can go from there to looking for something that works for out of combat. I think if I keep the function variable that tracks it local and have the WA load on combat, it should automatically reset on combat. One step at a time though, I don't know how to write a function that can recognize a spell refresh.

I'm going to assume that it uses SPELL_AURA_APPLIED when you don't have the buff and if you do have the buff and the buff refreshes (is this possible?) it uses SPELL_AURA_REFRESH.

Anyhow I'll give you a basic step which will print the Shooting Star proc number (does not track combat state so will work out and in combat, does not have a reset function unless you /reload).

Create a new aura and go to trigger, choose custom -> event -> type in COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED under Event(s).

Under the custom trigger enter:

function(event, timestamp, message, hideCaster, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, sourceRaidFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, destRaidFlags, ...)  
    if message == "SPELL_AURA_APPLIED" or message == "SPELL_AURA_REFRESH" then
        local spellId, spellName, spellSchool = ...
        if sourceName == UnitName("player") and spellId == 93400 then
			if not WeakAuraSScount then
				WeakAuraSScount = 1
				print(WeakAuraSScount.. " Shooting Star Procs")
				else
				WeakAuraSScount = WeakAuraSScount + 1 
				print(WeakAuraSScount.. " Shooting Star Procs")
			end
		end
	end
end

Untested, should work though.

I appreciate it!
I've re-eingeered the code to fit my specifications.
It now only increases counter on a refresh and in combat.
It now resets the counter when you refresh mark of the wild on yourself AND you are out of combat

function(event, timestamp, message, hideCaster, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, sourceRaidFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, destRaidFlags, ...)  
    
    if message == "SPELL_AURA_REFRESH" then
        local spellId, spellName, spellSchool = ...
        if sourceName == UnitName("player") and spellId == 1126 then
            if UnitAffectingCombat("player") == nil then
                if not WeakAuraSScount or not WeakAuraSSdamage then
                    WeakAuraSScount = 0
                    WeakAuraSSdamage = 0
                end
                print("Since last combat:")
                print(WeakAuraSScount.. " SS procs refreshed")
                ratio = WeakAuraSScount/WeakAuraSSdamage
                ratio = ratio * 100
                if WeakAuraSSdamage == 0 then
                    ratio = 0
                end
                print("SS loss: ".. math.floor(ratio*math.pow(10,2)+0.5) / math.pow(10,2).. "%")
                print("SS Count reset")
                WeakAuraSScount = 0
                WeakAuraSSdamage = 0
            end
        end
        if UnitAffectingCombat("player") == 1 then
            if sourceName == UnitName("player") and spellId == 93400 then
                WeakAuraSScount = WeakAuraSScount + 1 
            end
        end
    end
    if message == "SPELL_DAMAGE" then
        local spellId, spellName, spellSchool = ...
        if sourceName == UnitName("player") and spellName == "Starsurge" then
            WeakAuraSSdamage = WeakAuraSSdamage + 1
        end
    end
end

EDIT:
One last change. Instead of making it print each refresh, I am now only printing when I am resetting so I know how much was done since last reset.

Need to add a check if the variable exists, accidently deleted it.. but doing more edits right now so I'll have something else up soon.

FINAL EDIT:
Finished. Now also prints out truncated percentage of lost shooting stars procs to successful starsurge casts.
