Weak Aura - Custom LUA function causing latency

[Deleted]

Hello, I am facing a problem with a custom lua function of mine, causing latency.

I wanted to create a Weak Aura for my brewmaster monk : an aura that display the current amount of shield given by "Guard". The weak aura is a cooldown icon when guard is up with a "%c type of information". Here is my custom lua function :

function()
local a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p;
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p=UnitBuff("Player","Guard");
return o;
end

I don't know anything in lua language, I have just tested /dump UnitBuff("Player","Guard") in the chat box and figured out that the 15th output was the amount of absorb given by Guard.

So the problem is that after a certain amount of time, my latency rises. Is there a memory leak problem ? Because I can see the amount of memory used by Weak Auras is increasing too.

Here is the imported text format of my weak aura :

Thanks for considering my problem.

ps: easier way to do that would be:

return select(15, UnitBuff("player", "Guard"))

There is nothing in that function that could leak memory, so no, that isn't the root cause of your problem. (Some other WA, or other things, might be, but that specific one is innocent.)

uhm couldn't you simply display %s and enable "use tooltip "size" instead of stacks" in the trigger options?

I didn't find the option you mentionned. But anyway, the latency issue is weird and seems to come from weak auras. (I have tested it on my desktop and laptop too).

Thanks to you too for your help anyway.
