trigger firing although load is set to never (with answered template questions)

Describe the bug

I haven't entered the game for 2 yrs now, but upon editing my auras I recently noticed, that their triggers are being activated, although:

  • wa is opened, during which formerly the auras never were supposed nor enabled to do "their thing",
  • loading conditions are set to "never", which should normally mean that the aura/trigger wouldn't be active/activated at all.

This occurs when selecting an aura within the list of auras within the main window and upon opening weakauras ingame in general.

Do you have an error log of what happened?

no error

This occurs when selecting an aura within the list of auras within the main window and upon opening weakauras ingame in general.

okay. last question, just to be sure: this is even so, when "never" is selected in the laoding conditions? intended? really? and if so:

don't i have any option to avoid that? why can't i set an aura to not be activated at all without actually deleting it anymore?

if so, i do suggest to (re-)implement any kind of option to do so. - why wouldn't one like to have it?

thx 4 ur time. cheers

commented

Yes it's intended. You get a special "OPTIONS" event, and it's up to the trigger to handle it in a way that works for the options.

commented

okay. so, i do notice that the mistake seems to be on my side here. and i assume, there is probably still a way to make sure that a aura isn't being triggered/activated at all. and it seems to be connected with some kind of option(s)-(event?) ... which i would have to therefore avoid, if i want to completely deactivate the function of a aura? is there any way to learn how to do this? i apologize for my nescience. i have been inactive quite a long time... :/

commented

There's no way to disable this options event.

Ok. Thank you for your patience and for all the answering.

I do suggest to (re-)implement a way to disable auras completely without deleting them. It would be really pleasant.

Have a nice eve. Cheers.

This behaviour is intended, the aura's triggers are run while the options are open so that the triggers can control what is displayed.
