Rules Cookbook
Rules show a colour and effect while something is true. Each recipe below says what to set on the Rules page of the ABCS window (/ahui, then Rules). Many are also in the Add a ready-made rule… list at the top of that page; they are added switched off, so press Try on the row to see the rule on your bars for five seconds, then switch it on.
The first rule that matches wins for each bar, so put the rules you care about most at the top (drag a row by its handle).
| Rule | When | Show | On |
|---|---|---|---|
| Call your pet | Pet: Not out | orange, Heartbeat | Health bar |
| You are dead | Dead or a ghost | grey, None | Health bar and pet frame |
| Out of a group | When not Group: In any group | soft blue, Breathe | Health bar |
Click When on a row to turn it into When not.
| Rule | When | Show | On |
|---|---|---|---|
| About to pull aggro | Threat: About to pull aggro and not Role: Tank | orange, Heartbeat, raid warning sound | Health bar |
| A tank losing aggro | Threat: Losing aggro and Role: Tank | red, Pulse, alarm sound | Health bar |
| I have aggro | Threat: I have aggro | your pick, None | Health bar |
| Casting | Casting: Casting or channelling | gold, Sweep | Health bar |
The first two are in the ready-made list. Midnight hides threat and casting from addons in some content; a rule on them then waits rather than guess.
The speaker on a rule's row picks a sound the rule plays when it starts showing: raid warning, ready check, alarm clock, boss whisper, whisper, friend online or quest complete. It plays on the Master channel, so you hear it with sound effects off. Picking a sound plays it once, and Try plays it too.
| Rule | When | Show | On |
|---|---|---|---|
| Healing a raid | Role: Healer and Group: In a raid | green, None | Health bar |
| Tanking | Role: Tank and In combat | deep red, Pulse | Health bar |
| Mythic+ | In a Mythic+ run | teal, None | Health bar |
| Big raid | Group: In a raid of 20 or more | gold, None | Every bar |
| Delves | In a delve | amber, Breathe | Health bar |
Press + on a row to add the second condition ("and").
| Rule | When | Show | On |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloodlust and the like | Buff or debuff: 2825, 32182, 80353, 264667, 390386
|
red, Pulse | Health bar |
| A proc you watch | Buff or debuff: its name or spell ID | your pick, Sweep | Power bar |
Several spells, separated by commas, match when any one of them is on you. While the game hides aura data from addons, as in some combat, a buff rule waits.
Health is hidden from addons in Midnight, so a rule cannot say "below 35%". Instead:
- Colour by Health on the Health Bar page runs your own colour down to the low-health colour.
- A rule with the effect By health does the same from the rule's colour, so a raid rule can keep a health gradient of its own.
| Rule | When | Show | On |
|---|---|---|---|
| Night | Time of day: Night (21 to 5) | moonlit blue, Breathe | Health bar and pet frame |
| Flying | Flying | sky blue, Flow | Health bar |
| Resting | Resting | calm green, Breathe | Health bar and pet frame |
| War Mode | War Mode | crimson, None | Health bar |
On the Share page, tick only Rules, press Make Share String and paste the !AZUI1! line in Discord or a guide. Importing it replaces the rule list of the profile it goes into, after showing what changes.
In the game, Share in Chat does it without copying: it puts [ABCS: name] in your chat box, and anyone with the addon who clicks it gets the parts you ticked in their import preview.
