weakauras lua q (hide icon)

[the boar]

there is a popular beast cleave weak aura on wago.io but it aint exactly what i want, so i've mostly changed it to suit my needs, however one thing i cannot quite figure out.

function ()
    num_targets = 0
    for i=1,40 do
        if IsSpellInRange("Bite", "nameplate" .. i) == 1
        and not UnitIsFriend("player", "nameplate" .. i)
        then
            num_targets = num_targets + 1
        end
    end
    if num_targets >= 2 then
        return num_targets
    else --something
    end
end

so the question very simply is, is there a quick and dirty something i can put in that else that'll simply hide the aura until the above condition is met?

or is there an alternative [read: better] method that involves having this as a trigger (which makes more sense) but is beyond my brains current weakaura understandings?

here is where what i currently have, for reference. if it is easier to just magically make it work rather than trying to explain it, that's fine too.

thank you!


edit: @speku, thank you very much! a lesson and a better solution <3

1. change each occurence of num_targets to aura_env.num_targets so that you can access the counter from the text field
2. put the code into a new trigger of type "Custom - Status - Every Frame"
3. untrigger should be "function() return true end"
4. replace

 if num_targets >= 2 then
        return num_targets
    else --something
    end

with

return aura_env.num_targets >= 2

5. text function should be set to "function() return aura_env.count end"

or simply use the code below, since there're a few other places where the code could be improved:
