cast bar dissapears

[markushe]

I did set up some castbars but ran into one problem.
When I cast something and try to cast something else before the previous cast is finished (like spamming the button for my next cast) the castbar disappears.
This is probably caused by the Show/Hide feature I use to only show the castbar while casting or channeling. I guess because the next cast fails (another action still in progress) the Show/Hide feature says "not casting" and so the castbar is hidden, although I'm still casting the previous spell.
How can I fix/avoid that or is this a bug?

Edit your window, and see if you have a multiplexer feature. If yes, remove it.

i have the same problem with my single unitframes, the castbar disappers if i try to cast another spell while one is casting, but this only happens if i try to cast a differen spell (casting greater heal and spamming greater heal button => castbar stays, casting greater heal and spamming renew/prayer of healing/mending button => castbar disappears. sometimes the castbar reappears a bit later, for me it looks like this happens when the gcd that whould be triggered by casting the 2. spell runs out.

another point where my castbar disappears: creating a basic campfire, while casting opening a profession window => castbar disappears


there is no show/hide shader and no multiplexer features in the unitframes/window.

I can confirm that this happens when trying to cast a different spell than the one currently casting.

I don't use a multiplexer feature. In fact my castbar is very simple and a stripped down version from the tutorial.

Here is what I have:

Sorry, to ask again. But I still haven't found a solution.
I would really like to get rid of Quartz and use my RDX castbar.
Anyone?

Edit your unitframes, see the condition of your show hide frame feature.

There are three conditions :
Iscasting
Ischanneling
Iscastingorchanneling

Just check that you are using the third one.
