How to always show auras that would be purgable if i had a purge ability even though i don't
Hello! I know this is a strange request compared to what most people would need but I was wondering what code I need to modify or if there is already a modification we can make to the custom lua file to make it so that purgable auras are always displayed. At the moment they are only displayed for classes that have a purge ability. For example, on my Shadow Priest when i am facing a Resto druid in arena, I can see the purgable hots above their nameplate where as on my Balance Druid I cannot. I would like to always show purgable auras above the nameplate for all classes. Is there a modification I can make to do that? Please let me know and thank you for your time and everything you do for this addon!
A possible easy solution would be to make a modification in the code somewhere so the addon always thinks I’m a Blood Elf. Any chance you would be able to point me to where I could make that hack? Thank you so much in advance!
I would love this option as well. I made an attempt at picking through the code to try to go after a similar solution to Collin but could not find what I was looking for.
Workaround is to replace return can_purge with return true in function AuraFrame_ShouldShowAura located in elements/auras.lua
It looks like that makes it so it shows all buffs regardless of type are purgable, I am trying to only show Magic buffs at the moment. Do you know what change i should make to only get the Magic buffs?
Probably need to check https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/API_UnitAura dispelType and show if is == 'Magic', unfortunately looks like you can't check for enrage type. The author doesnt pass dispelType to func AuraFrame_ShouldShowAura so need to overload function with an extra param and pass it there, then check for magic and ret true.
I tried to add a dispelType param to the function and the callback for the cbr variable and added your code. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work could you show the whole function?
