Add support for toy cooldowns

I have a Autocooldown bar group for short CDs (which works fine), but cannot for the life of me figure out how get the Loot-A-Rang CD being displayed.

I think I have looked for everything that could exclude it, like duration and types, have also tried to add it via whitelist by name, by toy ID, by spell ID, by exact spell ID. Also tried with a custom, non-auto, bar. Spell name warnings are enabled, and what I enter in whatever form (name, ID, #ID) is all recognized by Raven.

In WeakAuras I can simply create an item CD bar and add it by name, and it works. So, I feel there must be something very simple and (too) obvious in my Raven settings that prevents it from being displayed and I'm just not seeing it… (I'm a relatively new user)

Any hint would be appreciated 🥺

Hey @tflo , sorry for the late response. I have been overwhelmed with IRL work, but I'm afraid I don't immediately have an answer for you. I will come back to you on this before the end of the weekend, though I am hoping to sit down for some Raveney stuff tomorrow so it might be sooner.

The short answer is that Raven does not support toys at the moment, the API to access toys isn't particularly addon-friendly. And with that, bad for your computer's performance and prone to locking up. This thread on the Blizzard forums has an in-depth explanation why.

That said, I would like to support toys. But we just have to figure out a way to support them without crashing computer.

OK, that explains it.

I was transitioning my cooldown displays from WA to Raven, and just didn't want to accept that single exception ;)

That might explain that my OPie/M6 buttons also have a hard time to display the cooldown of some toys correctly.
And it'll be probably wise to reduce the amount of my toy-related WAs to the minimum…

Thank you for the detailed infos.
