    Looping spell animations

    I'm wondering if it is possible to make an spell animation repeat itself while you are affected by the buff the animation belongs to.
    In this case, Retribution Aura, when you activate it, you gain the buff, and the animation 'blinks' once, but what I want to do is to make it loop.

    I've been looking around the DBCs and wow.dev and tried a few things here and there, something of interest I found was column 5 of SpellVisual.dbc, which according to wow.dev should be the effect that can be seen while the buff remains active, but I dont know if it's the animation ID that goes there, and I'm not sure where to look for Retribution Aura in the list, since I couldn't find a concrete ID anywhere, so if anybody with more experience can give me a helping hand it would be appriciated,

    thanks.

    You will notice the links in my documentation. They are pretty helpful.

    Its: Spell.dbc » SpellVisual.dbc » SpellVisualKit.dbc » SpellVisualEffectName.dbc

    So to find the visual's id etc search for it in SVEN.dbc. If you found it there, you go into SVK.dbc and look where this ID is referenced. If you have that one, you can add it into your SV.dbc while you find the id of the entry there in S.dbc, if you don't have it already.

    Thanks man, it appears I did infact touch the spell, since the animation didnt show up at all, I ****ed up somewhere, but at least I know that I'm on the right track.

    Rep to you good sir!

    EDIT:
    It appears I changed Prayer of Fortitude. Now everybody afflicted by the buff is recasting it over and over. Looks kinda funny.
    Back to the drawing board!

    I got it working. There's a 10~ second idle-time before it blinks again though, but I achieved my goal.
    For anyone interested, column 135 of spell.dbc has the ID's for spellvisual.dbc.
