The notice was intentionally kept for two releases to inform users about the
upcoming end of Midnight support. It is now removed, as the message should
have reached users.
(cherry picked from commit f524ab5c840f00d45f771423c9b1b2ecb72bf08f)
Add methods to the states/allstates table that helps with creating,
updating or remove states in an optimized way
## Advantage of using this function instead of doing a states[key] = {
... }
- If already created, update existing state, and return true if any
value was changed, this can help reduce amount of resources an aura use
- Automatically `return true` when using these functions and any change
was made
## Examples
```Lua
function(states, event, ...)
if event == "PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED" then
if UnitExists("target") then
-- if state exists it's updated, not replaced
-- show & changed fields can be skipped
states:Update("", {
name = UnitName("target"),
duration = 5,
expirationTime = GetTime() + 5,
progressType = "timed",
autoHide = true
})
else
-- wipe
states:RemoveAll()
end
end
-- no need to return true
end
```
with clones
```Lua
function(states, event, ...)
local currentEssence = UnitPower("player", Enum.PowerType.Essence)
local maxEssence = UnitPowerMax("player", Enum.PowerType.Essence)
for i = 1, 6 do
if i > maxEssence then
states:Remove(i) -- wipe allstates[6]
else
local value = currentEssence >= i and 1 or 0
local newState = {
progressType = "static",
value = value,
total = 1
}
states:Update(i, newState)
end
end
-- no need to return true
end
```
- **WeakAuras.SpecForUnit(unit)** = Returns: `classFileName..spec`, `Dominant Tree`, `spent1`, `spent2`, `spent3`
- **WeakAuras.GetUnitRole(unit)** = Returns one of: `"melee"`, `"caster"`, `"healer"`, `"tank"`
- **WeakAuras.SpecRolePositionForUnit(unit)** = Returns: `Dominant Tree`, `spent1`, `spent2`, `spent3`
- **WeakAuras.CheckTalentForUnit(unit, talentId)** = Returns: `"Points spent"` in talent or `nil`
- **WeakAuras.CheckGlyphForUnit(unit, glyphId)** = Returns: `true` if the player has the glyph associated with `spellID` or `spellName`, we can only see the glyphs of players running `LibGroupTalents-1.0`
Arguments might still shut be shared from the original call for custom auras.
More functions need to be added to prototypes.
Documentation is needed soon.
