Weakauras Custom Trigger & Untrigger

[Deleted]

Hey guys,

i create a weakaura which should trigger when the debuff/buff is about to expire. The Trigger works perfectly. I test this with Spell Reflection is 2 seconds remaining. The problem is to untrigger the aura. I use Custom->Status->CheckOn: Every Frame. Just watch the code:

CUSTOM TRIGGER

function () 
    
    
    local name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable, 
    shouldConsolidate, spellId = UnitAura("player", "Spell Reflection")
    if  expirationTime - GetTime() <= 2   then
        return  true
    end
    return false
end

CUSTOM UNTRIGGER

function () 
    
    
    local name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable, 
    shouldConsolidate, spellId = UnitAura("player", "Spell Reflection")
    if  expirationTime - GetTime() <= 0.1   then
        return  true
    end
    return false
end

If you have any ideas to fix it would be greatly appreciated

Untrigger function is called only if trigger's return is nil/false.

The trigger condition completely includes untrigger condition in your code, so untrigger will never return true(T⊃U implies ~T ⇒ ~U).


What you want to do is "Show a display if 1) aura is up and 2) remaining time is less then 2 seconds."
As it's complete On / Off status and you're using "every frames" check condition, both condition can be put in trigger function.

Trigger:
...
if expirationTime and expirationTime - GetTime() <= 2 then
return true
end
...


Untrigger:
function()
return false
end


And you should put 'expirationTime and expirationTime - GetTime()' because arithmetic operation with nil causes Lua Error.

WA can even do this without any custom coding. Just a regular aura trigger with remaining time constraint will do.

I fixed the problem by adding an additional if.
It´s working fine, but i will actually try doing this without custom code. Thanks for your reply!

function () 
    
    
    local name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable, 
    shouldConsolidate, spellId = UnitDebuff("player", "Font of Corruption")
    if  expirationTime - GetTime() <= 0.1 then
        return false
        
    else  if  expirationTime - GetTime() <= 5    then
            return  true
        end
        return false
    end
end
