# casts with current mana. Help!

Post by brianman » Tue Aug 30, 2005 7:15 am

I'm trying to add # of casts with current mana to each spell slot using MQ2HUD, but I seem to get errors all the time, inspired from the MQ enabled Sars UI (can be found by searching for Sars) found on these boards.

Doesn't work because the String object is apparently removed.

Code: Select all

ManaCast9	= 3,5,805,255,255,255,${If[${String[${Me.Gem[9]}].NotEqual["NULL"]},${Math.Calc[${Me.CurrentMana}/${Me.Gem[9].Mana}].Int},]}
These doesn't work, it seems like it returns true and executes the division anyway, and then when the spell slot is empty is it tries to divide by zeo.

Code: Select all

ManaCast9	= 3,5,805,255,255,255,${If[${Me.Gem[9].NotEqual["NULL"]},${Math.Calc[${Me.CurrentMana}/${Me.Gem[9].Mana}].Int},]}

ManaCast9	= 3,5,805,255,255,255,${If[${Me.Gem[9].ID.NotEqual["NULL"]},${Math.Calc[${Me.CurrentMana}/${Me.Gem[9].Mana}].Int},]}

ManaCast9	= 3,5,805,255,255,255,${If[${Me.Gem[9].ID["NULL"]},${Math.Calc[${Me.CurrentMana}/${Me.Gem[9].Mana}].Int},]}

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?


Here's my complete MQ2HUD.ini file for any that would like to use.
The setup is arranged for a Sars UI @ 1600x1200. Lot of the parts have been gleaned from other HUD examples on these boards.

Code: Select all

${If[${Me.Gem[1].ID},${Math.Calc[${Me.CurrentMana}/(${Me.Gem[1].Mana}+0.01)].Int},]}

I think that qualifies as a "dirty hack" :)
It works, was hoping there was a more "correct" way of getting it to work. Using it now, thanks :)

Has to do with divide by zero errors, in case your out of mana.

I think, as per posted by Lax, it was something like:

Code: Select all

${If[${Me.Gem[1].ID},${Math.Calc[${Me.CurrentMana}/${If[${Me.Gem[1].Mana},${Me.Gem[1].Mana},9999999999]}].Int},]}
Same result.

Dirty hack yes, see this thread why it is needed:

Casting..

Post by brianman » Thu Sep 01, 2005 8:26 am

I've got this little one placed on top of my casting bar:

Code: Select all

Casting		= 3,290,874,255,255,0,${If[${Me.Casting.ID}>0,${Me.Casting} (${Me.Gem[1].MyCastTime}),]}
Very simple, shows what I'm casting and my modified casting time.

I was wondering.. I know there are timers in MQ2, tried doing a quick search in the manual and just find the entry under Reference Types..

I trying to make the previos shown line give the following output:

SpellBeingCast (MyCastTimeLeft/MyCastTimeTotal)

Basically I want the "MyCastTimeLeft" to simply be a countdown timer, which starts at the CastTimeTotal and then just counts down.. Is this even possible?

You'd have to add the timer into a macro, and then run that macro in the background. The HUD itself doesn't allow you to declare timers, and the recast time left isn't readily available as part of standard MQ. It's really not worth it hopnestly, but I know spell_routines sets a timer for each spell gem after each /call Cast. If you set up something like that, you can then use the ${SpellRecastTimer[X]} in your HUD.

Does this look correct?
I want to show each group members class and level (if available)..

Code: Select all

${If[${Group.Member[1].Class.ShortName.NotEqual["NULL"]},${Group.Member[1].Class.ShortName,UNK]}
${If[${Group.Member[2].Class.ShortName.NotEqual["NULL"]},${Group.Member[2].Class.ShortName,UNK]}
${If[${Group.Member[3].Class.ShortName.NotEqual["NULL"]},${Group.Member[3].Class.ShortName,UNK]}
${If[${Group.Member[4].Class.ShortName.NotEqual["NULL"]},${Group.Member[4].Class.ShortName,UNK]}
${If[${Group.Member[5].Class.ShortName.NotEqual["NULL"]},${Group.Member[5].Class.ShortName,UNK]}

${If[${Group.Member[1].Level.NotEqual["NULL"]},${Group.Member[1].Level,??]}
${If[${Group.Member[2].Level.NotEqual["NULL"]},${Group.Member[2].Level,??]}
${If[${Group.Member[3].Level.NotEqual["NULL"]},${Group.Member[3].Level,??]}
${If[${Group.Member[4].Level.NotEqual["NULL"]},${Group.Member[4].Level,??]}
${If[${Group.Member[5].Level.NotEqual["NULL"]},${Group.Member[5].Level,??]}
The "UNK" and "??" are there merely for debugging purposes.

in krust ui group window i do something like this (not at home atm cant cut & paste):

Code: Select all

 
${If[${Group.Member[1].ID},${Group.Member[1].Class.ShortName},]} 
${If[${Group.Member[1].ID},${Group.Member[1].Level},]}
if .ID is not set, spawn info dont exist (group member [1] is not in group, or not in zone). no point in showing UNK and ??? in all cases in my opinion

Thanks :)

The ?? and UNK are, as mentioned, only there for debugging purposes to see whether it checked true or false :)
