Thank God I have a BG in Javascript 😅 helped me adapt to LUA code so much. Great tutorial bro

[foodle]

Holy shit Etrace. How did i not know this existed? I've been Print() ing everything into the chat window to find the right args. Legend!

[rklaseen]

Thank you! SOLID video on a topic that can be tricky when new

[FrostByteFun]

love you man i knew a littlebit lua but never though that this would be that easy . thank you so much

[lionyt]

Still pretty confused but at least you told me how to read the code, thank you so much!

[martinjin]

Hey bro, thx for ur work!
I really like ur lessons, also ur cooool voice.
It's ez to learn about those details with ur explanation.
I'm looking forward to watching more ur progress in coding.

[Bunstonious]

Hey man, I just wanted to say that this helped me so much and allowed me to script a bunch of stuff in my new WeakAura! Thankyou so much!

[Tyfeen]

Thanks a lot mate ! Thank to your video I was able to hide my mouse cursor Weak Aura when holding mouse right button down.

[Setuaro]

Useful for if you want to check the chatbox for things but in the long run it isn't all that useful beyond such specific use cases, could've been interesting to see a bit more varied stuff in regards to units rather than chat

[zellricomcfly]

Thanks for this amazing video, i learned a lot with your help !!!! <3 <3 <3 However, some suggestion would be to share the ressources (web site, other add ons, ect) you use on the videos like the lua add on, or the event tracket add on, the multiples API web site, ect. xoxo

[nicholasstocker]

Great video! Got one question. How do you find the right events in boss fights? Checking back etrace in a 10 Minute fight sounds impossible!

[rogansullivan]

I need to set up a weakaura to trigger only if the group's healer is a member of my guild. I don't even know where to start on this. Is there any way you can help me?

[benwallychow]

Hey! I have a question about a Weakaura I can't figure out how to make. I was curious if I could chat with you about it either in game or dis. I could throw some gold or something your way for your service as well!

[SprtqAndMrly]

Can someone explain me how to setup Between the eyes for Rogue with next trigger:
if combo points >=6 or
if stealthed and combo points >=5
Tried to work with custom triggers but didn't succeed.
I'm creating first trigger for type 'Player Power' and setting Power to >= 6 which works perfectly, but don't understand how to create second trigger with same instruction like first but also including Stealth aura. Will appreciate any help. Thanks!

[sapeeesapecillo]

Tienes una guia en español?. Quiero crear barras de vida interactivas

[slowbro-]

Good day Wyven, Im attempting to create an aura that activates on range check.
But im having difficulty finding the option or custom code to test for that

[MiguelGonzalez-nkir]

how can i change the color of a 3D model weak aura?

[ixss]

can you please help me how to ( %1.Damage reduction )? something like this..
cant find it

[cenjo]

Thanks, there are a lot of very usefull information in here!
I tried my own custom code today but it doesnt work as i want it to...

In the trigger i set to look for normal hits in the COMBAT_EVENT_LOG_UNFILTERED that have me as target. This part works without problems and the amount of damage is displayed correctly in my Weakaura. But somehow it only gives me the first hit, the following hits wont be counted.
I would love to add all the hits together so i get the exact amount of physical damage i recieved during the last pull.
Do you know what could be the problem here?

[etoyutoy]

I just want to activate some cosmetics like toys whenever I enter the cat form and remove the buff given by toys whenever I leave the cat form. Please, I need help, this one really important for me. and thanks a lot man for doing a great guide.
