Checking your buffs

bhaal · Post by **bhaal** » Sun Oct 06, 2002 5:09 pm

I have been searching the boards and reading the readme file, but I am not finding a way to check what buffs you have on. What I would like to do is create a macro that will check what buffs I have up and then cast the ones I need. Say I normally have sow, cholo, and warders protection on as a ranger. After each battle I would just like to click a hot key to rebuff myself if needed.

Any idea how to check your buffs?

Thanks for any help.

This is what I set up for my buffs.. but you have to fully buff yourself before you start the macro.. then when the buffs fade it will rebuff. You just replace the event with what it says when your buffs leave.

edit: code bracket master Rizwank! whe!

Code: Select all

#event ox "The spirit of ox leaves you"
Sub Main
      /doevents
     |stuff your macro does it here

      :buffs
	/echo "Checking for possible agro before rebuffing"
	/target npc
	/if n $target(distance)<120 /call main
	/echo "Area clear.. casting spell"
	/target myself
	/press 0 |this is the hotkey I for my clicky item, replace it with /cast # for your spell
	/delay 22s |casting time for your spell
	/varset v61 0
	/press esc
	/call main

Sub Event_ox
	/varset v61 2
	/echo "Spirit of Ox down.. Attempting to rebuff" 
	/return

Then just set up a differ variable for your other buffs and basically copy the text

Oh i forgot 1 line in there.. after your macro has finished looting put a line like this in.

/doevents
/if n $v61==2 /goto :buffs

point being, no automatic buff monitoring but there is some event driven stuff that can do a lot of it.

I have been trying to use events to handle my buffing, but I cannot seem to get them to fire off. Are there any tricks I should know about?

Like should it be #event or #Event?
Should there be a space after the event line and before the Sub Main?
Should there be a space before the event line and anything above it (includes, comments, etc.)
Is it Sub Event_xxx or sub event_xxx, should it match the top?

I has a real simple event that was just looking for "Your skin has returned to normal." and if it saw it just /echo Skin has worn off, but it never works?

Look at some of the examples in the Macro Depot, you should be able to see if you are missing anything.
