An add on that reminds me when Paladin self buffs (Greater Blessings of Might etc) have dropped off.
I can find ones for Rogues poisons but not BoK/BoM/BoW.
Cheers!

WeakAuras can definitely do this for you. Probably other similar addons like TellMeWhen as well.

Does there exist an addon where you can copy the list of names signed up in the ingame calendar? We recently went away from our website calendar due to issues with it, and if we are sorting out the raid ingame, it will be hell. We never sort the raid randomly, so we do put some thought into it.

So being able to copy the whole list of who signed to Google Sheets would be awesome.

I'm having some issues with the following when executed in WA:

SLASH_ADTEST1, SLASH_ADTEST2 = "/adt", "/adtest";
function SlashCmdList.ADTEST(msg)
print("it works!")
end

I'd like to make a script run on slash commands, which would be saved in WA (so I don't need to create lua files manually)
But when the following code's run in WA, it throws an exception

[string "return ..."]:8: attempt to index global 'SlashCmdList' (a function value)

The code obviously works when I execute it via /script.

Any workarounds for this or do I need to create lua files?

Hey guys!
I'm using QuseMap and I was wondering if you guys got a lua string or something else for an order hall button like there is in the normal map

[Deleted]

Hello!

I have an issue with weak auras 2.

any weak aura i import is buged(not working:

Some icons are intended to show a cooldown after using them, its not working they are just glowing ( which means i have to use them ).
I tryed several auras, none working correctly. Also some Aura icons are missing, and sometimes they are just counting from 8 to 5 , and repeating.
I have the newest WA2 addon.

Can someone help me, maybe?

Okay, maybe my Googlefu skills are lacking but I can not find a weakaura or addon that displays an artifact bar. I've found broker display plugins that show artifact power text but I want a bar and I don't use a broker display mod (don't want to install one just for 1 plugin anyways). So do any of you weakaura masters know of a way to do a artifact xp bar? Just a bar display is fine, text not needed.

Anyone who can make an updated version of this https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/ta...target-tooltip or tinytiptargets? Ok to ask stuff like this?

Heya fellas, I'm looking to better understand global variables,

I'm storing a number (I assume an int?) as count = 3

when I try to call on the variable somewhere else however I cant do

if count = 3 then -- dostuff

so Im assuming its in a list or whatnot, but I cant seem to figure out how it is stored; when I do sendchatmessage(count) then it does send the message as 3.. but the boolean doesnt go through.. I hope someone can help!


Along the lines of of ask for assistance give some assistance ;

In the case of WoW addons, a global variable is one that's accessible to all addons, which is probably not what you want. What you probably do want is a variable that's local to the scope of your whole addon, which you do by writing local count = 3 at the top level of your code, i.e. not inside of an if or for or function block.

If you want to check whether or not the value stored in the variable count is 3, what you write is if count == 3, with two equal signs. = is the assignment operator and == is the equality comparison operator.

Lua (version 5.1, which is what WoW uses) also doesn't have ints as such by default, by the way; the value 3 has the type number.

Chapters 2-5 of Programming in Lua might be good to read if you want a solid understanding of the main parts of the language you use in WoW addons.

Ill share my code to clear things up:

local count = 0

if UnitBuff('player','Shark Infested Waters') then
    count = count + 1
end

if UnitBuff('player','True Bearing') then
    count = count + 1
end

if UnitBuff('player','Jolly Roger') then
    count = count + 1
end

if UnitBuff('player','Grand Melee') then
    count = count + 1
end

if UnitBuff('player','Buried Treasure') then
    count = count + 1
end

if UnitBuff('player','Broadsides') then
    count = count + 1
end

SendChatMessage("I rolled a ".. count,"CHANNEL",nil,"6");
RtBCount = count
WeakAuras.ScanEvents("RtBRolled")

then I got a different weak aura that triggers on the RtBRolled event:

function() 
    SendChatMessage('yep a:'..RtBCount,"CHANNEL",nil,"6")
    if RtBCount == 2 then 
        SendChatMessage("AWW SHIT YEAH A".. count .. "! WOOHOO ITS A TWO IT WORKZ","CHANNEL",nil,"6");
        return true
    end
end

so even though it says 'yep a 2' the AWW SHIT YEAH line doesnt trigger..

any idea whats going on?


---------
it's about the way it basses the variable, it works as I want if I do:

local count = 0

if UnitBuff('player','Shark Infested Waters') then
    count = count + 1
end

if UnitBuff('player','True Bearing') then
    count = count + 1
end

if UnitBuff('player','Jolly Roger') then
    count = count + 1
end

if UnitBuff('player','Grand Melee') then
    count = count + 1
end

if UnitBuff('player','Buried Treasure') then
    count = count + 1
end

if UnitBuff('player','Broadsides') then
    count = count + 1
end

if count == 1 then
    local t = {'a' , 'b', 'c' }
    SendChatMessage("Aw shocks a ".. count,"SAY");
end

if count == 2 then
    local t = {'a' , 'b', 'c' }
    SendChatMessage("Alrighty a ".. count,"SAY");
end
if count == 3 then
    SendChatMessage("Aaaalright, rolled a ".. count,"SAY");
end
if count == 6 then
    SendChatMessage("CRACK OPEN THE BUBBLY I ROLLED A ".. count ..'!' ,"SAY");
end

RtBCount = count
WeakAuras.ScanEvents("RtBRolled")

Using this final code for now as it does what I want, I'd like to know why its not working though ._>

I'm not familiar with WeakAuras in particular, but this part looks like it's that the value stored in RtBCount is the string "2" and not the number 2, and with how Lua works those are treated as different things when comparing. If so, if RtBCount == "2" then should make it trigger like you want.

Yeah thats what I figured too,.. didnt work either.. I think it might be a list/dict or array of some sort.. but im not familiar enough with lua to trial and error my way through so I'm hoping someone just.. knows ._>

So I have the following little code

local known = {}

local function update()
 local i, button = 1
 repeat
	button = _G["CompactRaidFrame"..i]
 	if button and not known[button] then
	 	known[button] = true
 	end
 	i=i+1
 until not button
end

local RFF = CreateFrame("Frame")
RFF:SetScript("OnEvent",update)
RFF:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")

hooksecurefunc("CompactUnitFrame_UpdateName",function(frame)
	local tempName = GetUnitName(frame.unit, true)
	if tempName ~= nil then 

		local name, server = strsplit("-", tempName, 2)
		local playerName, realm = UnitFullName("player")
		local isLead = UnitIsGroupLeader(tempName)
		tempName = GetUnitName(frame.unit, true):match("[^-]+")
		if isLead then 
			tempName = "!" .. tempName
		end
		if (server == realm) and (name ~= playerName) then
			tempName = tempName .. "*"
		end
		
		if name == playerName then
			tempName = strupper(tempName)
		end
		
		frame.name:SetText(tempName)
	end
end)

I can change the raidbuttons 99% to my liking
BUT
How do I change the fontcolor of the raidframe button text (the names)?

So no way to change the font color?

[modernist]

frame.name:SetTextColor(r,g,b)

Hello, guys, please help me with my problem.

You could install and use tidyplates or maybe mess around with some of the colorblind settings.
