  @ CommanderSirow

  Wow, that's awesome. If only the addon was localized for German =/

  @ Tinolyn

  What trigger type are you using? If you use an Action Usable trigger, your display should only be visible when the spell is actually usable (i.e., your target is under 20% health). If you're using a Cooldown Progress (Spell) trigger with the Inverse option set, your display should be visible whenever the spell is not on cooldown, regardless of the health of your target.

  If you're using an Action Usable trigger, and it's still displaying when your target has more than 20% health, there is a simple solution; on the Trigger tab, press the Add Trigger button. Set this secondary trigger to Status -> Health, Unit: Target, Health %: < 20. Your display will only be visible when both of its triggers are satisfied, so this will prevent it from being visible when your target is not below 20% health (and when you have no target).

  I need help on making something work.

  The spell is Shadowburn, for warlocks. The spell itself doesn't become active until under 20 percent mob life, and has a cooldown. I cannot make this work as a flat texture, or cooldown. The only thing that does work is the "Icon" setting. However, it shows it as always available (until it's used) but it actually isn't able to be used until the mob's health is under 20 percent.

  Is it possible to make this spell work so that the icon/texture/whatever only shows up when it's available?

  Just a note for anyone who actively follows the development of WeakAuras:

  I started work again this week, and that, along with leisure activities (i.e., Pokemon Black and raids), leaves little time for WeakAuras coding. Work on 1.4 is going to be slow for a while.

  To be fair, that picture only really conveys one word; speechlessness. It is cute, though.

  Notice to 1.4b1 users!

  I have committed an initial beta build of WeakAuras version 1.4; 1.4b1. This release is somewhat less polished than the 1.3 beta releases were. Because of this, I'd like to inform you who choose to use it - beta testers, essentially - of what is new, and how it is intended to work.

  1.4b1 introduces one of the main new features of 1.4; auto-cloning. Auto-cloning is available in 3 different circumstances:

  • Full scan auras - Available by enabling "Show all matches (Auto-clone)" directly below the "Use Full Scan" option. The display will be auto-cloned to show every aura that is matched by the full scan options. Leaving the options at default will essentially display all auras on the given unit.
  • Group auras - Available by setting Unit to "Group" and enabling "Show all matches (Auto-clone)" directly below the Group Count option. The display will be auto-cloned to show the specified aura on every unit in the group. Using this option overrides the Name Info and Stack Info options that the Group Aura trigger options provide; instead, Stack Info will be applied like a normal aura, and Name Info will be set to the name of the player.
  • Multi-target auras - Available by setting Unit to "Multi-target". The display will be auto-cloned to show the specified aura on every mob or player that is affected by it. This is accomplished by using a combination of Combat Log messages, UID<->GUID tracking, and UnitAura calls. The intended use for this functionality is to allow for multi-mob DoT tracking. Since Combat Log messages do not provide duration info, the cloned displays might not always have correct info, especially if they are applied without targeting. For example, if you have a Multi-target aura that tracks Living Bomb, and you use Impact to spread Living Bomb to mobs that you are not targeting, the duration info for the spread Living Bombs will not update until you, or somebody in your group, targets those mobs. This is expected behavior.

  The recommended way to use a display with auto-cloning enabled is inside a Dynamic Group. If you do not use a Dynamic Group, the intended behavior is for the display to clone itself in the same place (although this does not currently occur properly for multi-target auto-cloning), which will obviously just create a big overlapping mess. This may seem unintuitive at first, but it's the only way the auto-cloning feature works within the paradigms of functionality that are already established in WeakAuras. Also, there are potential ways these big overlapping messes could be made into useful visuals (especially using relative-duration animations).

  As mentioned before, auto-cloning is not currently a polished feature. Among the known issues are:

  • Auto-cloning is not at all tested with multiple triggers.
  • Auto-cloning is not at all tested with animations.
  • Auto-cloning does not work properly with animated Dynamic Groups.
  • Multi-target auras do not clone properly when not in a Dynamic Group.
  • Multi-target auras are not always as accurate as they should be.
  • The configuration UI does not recognize auto-cloning at all when creating demonstration displays. This means that you will never see auto-cloned displays in the configuration UI, which can make it difficult to configure them visually. In the future, I am planning to make it so that the configuration UI will create some predetermined number of clones (probably 3) for any display which has auto-cloning enabled.
  • Auto-cloning is not intuitive. There either needs to be some visual or verbal clues in the UI to indicate how to properly use auto-cloning (for example, suggest to use a Dynamic Group), or a specific Tutorial for the feature.

  If you have any questions or comments regarding auto-cloning, make a post on the forums, and if you find a specific bug with their functionality, please post a ticket. And thanks for helping me test WeakAuras!

  I started working on a Tutorial page. It focuses on user-friendliness (I tried to tone down my usual technical and verbose writing style) and visual examples (almost every step has an explicit screenshot).

  Unfortunately, WoW went down for maintenance once I was approximately halfway through. I've been somewhat unmotivated to work on WeakAuras lately (not doing anything at all is just so much easier), so let's hope it gets finished in a timely manner ^_^

  That's definitely something you can do, although it requires you to create a separate display for each stack. Set the Stack Count option on the first display to ">= 1", the second to ">= 2", etc.

  Using this mod, is one able to create a mock graphical "combo point" effect for something that requires say 5 stacks of an ability before they get to use a special attack?

  IE: Marks hunters get the Master Marksman effect, after it stacks 5 times you can instant cast Aimed Shot. Or even something like Archangel for a priest. Being able to have each stack show up as a small graphical icon under your character, so that when you see 5, you know you can activate your ability. Maelstrom weapon for enh shammies is another example.
