Table custom option

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There's currently no great way to create for example an allow / blocklist in custom options that just allows you to check for a specified spellId by using aura_env.config.tablename[spellId].

Describe the solution you'd like

Simple key value based table that extends with each entry or w/e

Describe alternatives you've considered

currently players create a string option and use code to put all entered spellIds in a table or create an option per spell.
its not that easy to make edits since most players dont remember what each spellId stands for.
that's what having a value would be useful for

aura_env.spellIDs = {}
for match in aura_env.config.spellID:gmatch("%d+") do aura_env.spellIDs[match] = true end

Additional context

i like what plater did as solution

@emptyrivers <3???

It's something i raised in an other ticket a while ago, with (bad?) idea to have an automated description field derived from a spellId field. Problem is that this solution would solve a specific problem but then you may want to do this with itemid? npcid? iconid? etc..

So what..

  • add a custom coded read-only field which take info from other fields? + generic is good | - doesn't sound fun to implement, niche and require knowledge to use
  • implement a list of premade id->description functions? + easy to use | - less generic but can be extended if needed | no idea about implementation

hrm, i don't see the point? you can just put a couple lines of code in init to transform an array into the shape you want.

e.g. local blocked = {} for _, entry in ipairs(aura_env.config.blocklist) do blocked[entry.id] = true end would achieve your goal for this array (you can even write that into aura_env.config.spells if you want):

It seems like the more relevant problem is this:

its not that easy to make edits since most players dont remember what each spellId stands for.

which could be solved in other ways

commented

well, a 'spell' type option has prior art in the trigger prototypes, so I would be ok with adding something like that in. items, too.

commented

like, an option that on the author side provided an item id (possibly a display name also? open to bikeshedding on that), but on the user side looked like this

would work IMO

commented

to expand a little:

for interruptible / ccable casts I'm currently using a table like this because it's easier/faster to maintain from a creator perspective compared to using custom options. users are asking for ways to disable specific casts / timers which can't really be done without giving up on convenience. (also not sure if current custom options can handle this many spells without lagging out at some point)

in my opinion, a mixed solution could be the way to go. like show spell icon for quick identification but also maybe do it in a table style + allow user to toggle off specific spells.

two example tables below of what I use:

CCable / interruptible casts

--categoryNumber can be used to differentiate between casts in the conditions for coloring etc
--role can be (ALL/DAMAGER/HEALER/TANK/MELEE/RANGE) and only shows the bar to that role

trash cd timers (2 dimensional)

--category is used to color the bars in the conditions, apply countdown only to certain categories etc etc
--role can be ALL/TANK/DAMAGER/HEALER (to only show bars to that role. this requires being in a dungeon group, otherwise you have no role)
