Weak Auras - Custom trigger to check if offcd or duration left

[dvaz]

Hi,

I am trying to create a simple custom trigger to determine if Evocation is off cd OR has less than 20 secs left cooldown.

I want it to return true when either Evocation cd has less than < 20 secs or its completely off CD. Sounds simple enough right?

Custom trigger part:

function(...)
    local start, duration, enabled = GetSpellCooldown("Evocation");
    if (duration < 20) then
        return true
    end
end

Custom Untrigger part:

function(...)
    local start, duration, enabled = GetSpellCooldown("Evocation");
    if (duration > 20) then
        return true
    end
end

THe problem I am having is that doesnt show up when Evocation cooldown is < 20, it only shows up when is OFF COOLDOWN, aka when duration = 0

I have it set to type status and every frame.

Any idea whats wrong?

Duration is the time how long the cooldown is and not the time remaining.
Evocation cd is 90 (?) seconds so it is always duration = 90. And 90 is of course never < 20.

GetTime() - start is the remaining cd.

Why do you want a custom function?

Why do you want a custom function?

I am trying to create priority rotation for my mage, and it some somewhat like this. Pseudo code:

if (trigger1 OR trigger2) AND (trigger3 AND trigger4 AND triger5....) return true

Basically: (if evocation is offcd OR evocationcd < 20) AND (arcane charges ==4, etc etc ), start burn.

I can't do this with the UI because trigger activation is either on ANY or ALL, but as you can see from the example above i need a combination of both.

Why you make it so complicated? Just create 2 separate Auras, one with OffCD+Charges and the other with <20secCD+Charges. Put them into separate layers and voila.
