WeakAuras 2
Last Updated: May 25, 2018 Game Version: 7.3.5
WeakAuras is a powerful and flexible framework that allows you to display highly customizable graphics on your screen to indicate buffs, debuffs, and a whole host of similar types of information. It was originally meant to be a lightweight replacement for Power Auras, but it now incorporates many features that Power Auras does not, while still remaining more efficient and easy to use.
Features include:
- An intuitive and powerful configuration interface
- Custom textures including all textures from Power Auras and the new Cataclysm spell alerts
- Progress bars and textures that show the exact duration of auras
- Displays based on auras, health, power (mana, rage, soul shards, holy power, etc.), cooldowns, combat events, runes, totems, items, and many other triggers
- Preset and user-defined animations
- Custom side-effects such as chat announcements or sounds
- Grouping, which allows multiple displays to be positioned and configured at the same time
- CPU optimizations such as conditional loading/unloading of displays, modularity, and prevention of full aura scanning
- Powerful customization options, such as animation paths, on-show/on-hide code, and custom triggers, for Lua-savvy users
To open the options window, type /wa or /weakauras into your chat and hit enter or use the LDB feed.
Extending WeakAuras 2
- WeakAuras_StopMotion: This addon adds a new region type to WeakAuras that allows for stop motion animations. Stop Motion textures contain each frame of the animation as a separate image. The addon ships with a number of animations and it supports custom textures.
- SharedMedia for more bar textures.
- SharedMediaAdditionalFonts for more fonts.
- ColorPickerPlus for a better version of the WoW color picker that includes class color templates and a copy and paste function.
For in-depth documentation, see the wiki page.
For some examples of what WeakAuras can do, take a look at wago.io where tons of people upload their creations and even feature complete interfaces utilizing WeakAuras!

Posted Apr 16, 2018Something I noticed with the new version is that my WA addon is now using about 10 times the amount of CPU it was prior to the latest update.

Posted Mar 31, 2018My WA behaves wierd. I have Version 2.5.8 and i can not copy settings.
I made a new progress bar.
Now i have a second bar "Bar 1". I want to copy the settings from Bar 1 to Bar 2.
In the past you could right click a aura and select "copy settings from" and click the aura you wanted the settings from.
Now in 2.5.8 the copy menu has many different options like display, animations, etc but none of them copy the settings.
Bar 1 is nothing special, just the Icy Veins duration from Frost Mage as a bar. it was created with the wa standard options, no code writing involved.
You can still duplicate auras, but copying from other bars is a little bit better.
Edit: Ok i found out what i did wrong.
In the past you started with the new bar and copied from the other one.
Now you first copy the old on and paste it onto the new one.
You can no longer copy the whole aura and have to single copy display,animations, trigger, etc.
In my opinion that is worse and a huge step backwards.

Posted Mar 9, 2018Hi WeakAuras community!
is it possible to only check a trigger when another trigger is already active?
I would like my WeakAura to check for trigger 1 and as soon as trigger 1 is true it starts checking for trigger 2.
is it possible to do this with the 'Required for Activation' -> 'Custom Function' code?
cheers!
UPDATE: would be amazing is someone could help me out. This has been the most important issue in a while for me.

Posted Feb 14, 2018good day! :)
with 7.2, Blizzard added an icon next to the enemy arena frames tracking the cooldown of Trinket/Adaptation/Relentless (first row of honor talents).
has anyone found a way yet to create a WeakAura that triggers off of these new trackers?
I would like to create a WeakAura showing the Relentless/Adaptation icon when an arena enemy has that talent selected.
if anyone knows of the custom code to access this information, please share.
any input is greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: SOLVED!
