[Help] WeakAuras Custom LUA Modification

[pflueger92]

I really don't know of a community to post something like this in, and I'm aware the purpose of this forum isn't for free work but I hope it's a simple modification and I just simply do not understand LUA to this level.

I found a pretty cool WeakAura that tracks loot. I was hoping to modify it to replace an existing loot display when another is looted. Making it session based. So you loot cloth for example, the WeakAura shows this with an item count, you loot another cloth and instead of two entries it just replaces the old one 'consolidating' if you will.

I know it is tracked by time right now and I think I can wrap my head around modifying that to be session based but don't know how to modify the script to essentially say "hey if this has already been looted, or the quantity is > 0 then just update the original message.
