Script/Code to track Player buff as icon

Is it possible for anyone here to write a script for me that I can then make into an addon.
I want to track a SINGLE buff on myself called Slice and Dice. However I want it to be tracked as Slice and Dice icon that would display next to my PlayerFrame (just like a WeakAura, but without using WeakAura, just with a script).

That reminds me of one of my first addons back in the old Burning Crusade days when I was mage tanking Krosh Firehand. Wrote an addon to track the shield buff on him so I could steal it rofl.

I also did one more recently ( several expansions back ) where I watched for power shield on my priest. Or something similar.

Neither addon would work now ( if I still had the code somewhere ) unfortunately but could be a good starting point.

I'll monitor the post to see if you get any joy.

It's a bit of a loaded question as it's missing details (most of which probably come with WeakAuras). You could start with something like:

Lua Code:

local spellID, SnDID = 315496 -- S&D
local _, _, icon = GetSpellInfo(spellID) 
 
local f = CreateFrame("Frame", "Kovexpulthul_Buff", PlayerFrame, "AuraButtonArtTemplate")
f:Hide()
f:SetSize(40, 40)
f.Icon:SetTexture(icon)
f:SetPoint("RIGHT", PlayerFrame, "LEFT", 0, 0)
f:RegisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
    local unit, auraInfo = ...
    local added, updated, removed, full = auraInfo.addedAuras, auraInfo.updatedAuraInstanceIDs, auraInfo.removedAuraInstanceIDs, auraInfo.isFullUpdate
    if added then
        for k, v in pairs(added) do
            if v.spellId == spellID then
                SnDID = v.auraInstanceID
                self:Show()
                break
            end
        end
    end
    if removed then
        for k, id in pairs(removed) do
            if id == SnDID then
                SnDID = nil
                self:Hide()
                break
            end
        end
    end
end)

It's been a while since I looked at auras so there may well be a better way.

Forgot to mention this is to work on a private server 3.3.5 Wotlk so maybe it would work?

I want it to look like this combat indicator, next to my player frame just tracking how much SnD I have left:

It doesn't seem to work. I changed spellID to correct one (6774, because I forgot to mention this is to work on private server on 3.3.5 patch) and it doesn't work, doesn't show anything :(

Unfortunately we are unable to assist with private servers, only official wow versions.
