Since patch I have encountered some issues. It has come to the point of me willing to take a verbal lashing for some help ..so anyway

I write very simple stuff because I cannot get genbot to work, new or previous version. Yes it is my fault. If someone could convert this I'll go back in my hole.

thanks

In some post some were, Lax told me I should do the following

Code: Select all

(!${Me.Buff[Mask of the Stalker].ID})

Not sure exactly why but I've seen allot of other folks been using the ID on the code. My understanding is that with out ID it responds the name which I'm no idea why that would matter unless its faster to check a number instead of a string.

You are correct, it should be with the .ID on the end. For some reason I keep thinking non-null, non-zero = true. A result would be non-null. But that isn't how MQ2 parses, so use the .ID :)

The problem is that CALCULATE can only handle NUMBERS. How do you calculate "gfdlkgjdlfgkldfglkdf"

The answer is you dont, and then Calculate passes the failure out to /if. The reason you use ID is it's going to give you a non-zero number if ${Me.Buff[Mask of the Stalker]} is valid. It's sort of like having ${Me.Buff[Mask of the Stalker].Valid}. The only time it will NOT work is for types that dont have ID or for types where ID could possibly equal 0 (the only one that comes to mind is doors/switches).

So, ${Me.Buff[Mask of the Stalker].ID} determines if there is an ID, and using ! reverses it so you execute the "true" branch if there is NOT an ID.

Your help is much appreciated.

Now if I can figure out how the code thing works I will share my little work in the depot.
