Testing WeakAuras/LUA

[Escapes]

Hi folks, I've just started diving in a bit to writing custom triggers for weak auras. Something I noticed from one of Pottm's weak auras, is he is listening for custom events (I assume for testing purposes).

Can anyone point me to any resources on what tools are needed, and how to do this?

Example:

   if event == "TEST_MARK2" then
        destName = select(1, ...) or UnitName("player")
        spellName = "Mark of the Legion"
        subevent = "SPELL_AURA_APPLIED"
    end
    
    if event == "POTTM_MARK_TRIGGER" then
        return true
    end

He's listening for custom events that, presumably, he's throwing in other scripts (likely from other auras). This is a fairly common way to pass information between auras, to keep count on something, toggle a variable, etc. If you want to understand the process, you should research the WeakAuras.ScanEvents function.

Thanks Shanthi, this is the road block I needed to get over to move forward. Appreciate the info.
