WA2 - Delayed triggers

[magicaldandruff]

Is it possible to trigger Aura B (x) seconds after Aura A is trigger? The context here would be trying to recreate the strike timings of a rogue's Nightblade animation. This would help me tremendously if anyone has any input.

The opening animation has 3 strikes which doesn't actually do any damage but applies a dot that does, so I can't set it to trigger from that.

It should be possible, from auras triggering another aura and/or C_Timer.After

I don't understand this part since I don't have a rogue,
but can't you just use SPELL AURA APPLIED / REMOVED for the dot's spell ID (195452 ?) w/ Source Unit: Target

Chaining auras seems to make stuff overly complicated

Thanks to your hint, I figured it out. If anyone else was curious, this is how I set it up:

Aura 1
- set it up like normal, for example, a CAST SUCCESS trigger and under the Actions tab under the On Show section, click the custom function and use this:

C_Timer.After(X, function() WeakAuras.ScanEvents("YOUREVENTNAME") end)

X being time in seconds before it signals your custom event used to trigger Aura 2.

Aura 2
- Use a custom trigger, with event type= event, and Event(s) = YOUREVENTNAME
- In the Custom trigger section use:

function()
return true
end

Remember to adjust Duration(s) for the approximate animation time of your model.

Posting to save this for later! Thanks for sharing!

I just tried to use this code again today, but the timer seems to not have any effect anymore. Can anyone else confirm or refute this for me?
