  • About Twister
  •  

Twister is an aura-twisting helper for Chosen and Knights of the Burning Sun. It allows you to specify up to 3 auras that should be sequenced. Its display will show you what aura is currently active, and what auras are fading/expired. Any aura icon can be clicked to refresh (or in the case of the active aura, deactivate) that aura. The currently active aura is shown larger on the left side of Twister's "trough", auras which are about to expire will turn red as they near the end of the trough, and the longest-expired aura is shown at the far right side of Twister's trough. The trough's background will turn blue when you're able to cast another aura.

In addition, you can specify a hot bar binding number (from 1 to 120, defaults to 119) to bind to Twister, after which pressing the key bound to that hotbar binding will activate the next aura in the sequence (Twister is smart enough to only activate this keybinding when the shared aura cooldown is not active, meaning that you shouldn't get many "ability not ready yet" spam messages if you hit the key while the cooldown is still going). The hot bar binding number you choose does not necessarily have to be one that is associated with a visible action bar (as you may have guessed from the default value of 119).

To set up which auras (and which button #) Twister should use, simply right-click anywhere on its display. Then drag auras from your abilities window to the 3 squares, and/or change the button number in its edit box.

To save or load sets of auras, use the following commands:

  • /script Twister.SaveSet("setnamehere")
  • /script Twister.LoadSet("setnamehere")

Either command can be macro'd if desired (especially useful for loading sets).

Twister's display will only be visible (and Twister will only be active) when the current character is a KotBS or Chosen.

    I don't think I understand properly. Do the auras you set in the sequence automatically switch between them on cooldown, or do you have to manually have to manually have the auras change?

    Some keypress still has to happen for each aura change. Some enterprising people have figured out that you can set Twister's bind number to be the same as a hotbar slot that has an often-used attack in it, and thus have the usage of that ability provide the keypress trigger, if you so desire.

    Just a heads up for those of you who like to change specs and use twister. If you change specs and leave an aura you used to have in twister, the mod will not work.

    Very nice addon

    but I'm a "mouse clicker" and i'd like to know if it's possibile to make twister work when i mouse click the binded button on the bar, not just when i physically click it..
    thanks a lot

    It won't work for the button on the bar, no, but you can click on the icons shown in the Twister window itself to recast the corresponding aura, if that helps.

    Great Mod Aiiane.

    I have a request. Would it be possible to add a dropdown menu to the mod to save and load different aura sets from and assign them names? Each set then could be lined up by name and have the icons appear beside them with the tooltip mouse over working for the icons. I know this is a bit of work but I'm sure it would be a great addition to this already great mod.

    Keep up the great work!!!

    Right now it's just the /script commands listed in the description above. I might consider adding a GUI for sets at some point in the future though.

    That would be a very nice addition to this awesome addon. Keep up that great work you do.

  • Hmm, I used curse to install mine yet for some reason when I load up the game twister is in all black and I can not interact with it at all except to move it with the layout editor

    Right-click the black area.

  • Twister does not seem to work anymore after patch 1.3.1?

  • Nevermind, just had to download the newest Twister version. It seems to work fine, Aiiane. Nice work.

    Forums: Is there anyway I can set up twister to line up 4 auras instead of just 3?

    Your answer:No, sorry. The reason it has 3 slots is because that is the most you could possibly ever have active at one time.

    While 3 might be the most you can have up at one time, some like to cycle more. You kind of dismissed it pretty quick. How difficult could it be to add another slot or two.

    More difficult than you think.

  • Anguloke said 

    Perhaps, but I suspect people would like to cycle more than 3 more than you think also.

  • Can you move twister around on the screen?

    Reply Report Permalink
  • Aiiane said 

    Yes, open the layout editor and it can be moved from there.

    I like your idea, it would be more easy to keep the auras cycling!
    Could you please add this Aiiane?

    Thinking of it actually, why not make the addon switch aura's on every button you hit? - That would make it realy easy-mode.
