Checking Buffs

MrOuija_AK · Post by **MrOuija_AK** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 12:01 pm

I'm trying to figure out how to check if a character has specific buffs up. Example having a wizard check to see if Barrier of Force is up. The closest I could come up with was to look at each slot individually and if it finds the buff change a variable to false. Then doing an IF statement and if the variable is still true rebuff. Unfortunately all it does is chain rebuff. So I think I've messed up somewhere. I can't seem to figure out what I did wrong in here.

I'm pretty new at this so I'd like to know what I did wrong with this, but I'd also like to know if there's a better way to do it. This just seems like I made it way over complicated.

Code: Select all

:loop
/varset force ${Bool[TRUE]}
/varset i 1
/for i 1 to 15 step 1
/if (${Me.Buff[${i}]Name.Find[Barrier of Force]}) {
     /varset force ${Bool[FALSE]}
     /varset i 15
}
/next i
/if (${force}) {
     /call Cast "Staff of the Four" item
     /delay 2s
     /sit
} else {
     /varset force ${Bool[TRUE]}
}
/goto :loop

Code: Select all

#include spellcast.inc

Sub Main
  :loop
    /if (!${Me.Buff["Barrier of Force"].ID}) /call Cast "Staff of the Four" item
  /goto :loop
/endmacro

Should work.

I know genbot has a routine for keeping self buffs up, you may want to take a look there. It's a little more robust than what you're looking for probably (Keeping up clickies, etc.), but it will at least give you an idea how to start.

Thanks that worked well.

I still wonder what was wrong with my logic on my overly complicated way of doing it though.

${Me.Buff[${i}]Name.Find[Barrier of Force]} should be ${Me.Buff[${i}].Name.Find[Barrier of Force]} (notice the dot between ] and Name) ..

Might need to change:

Code: Select all

/if (${Me.Buff[${i}]Name.Find[Barrier of Force]}) {

To:

Code: Select all

/if (${Me.Buff[${i}].Name.Find[Barrier of Force]}) {

Notice the '.' between the square bracket and 'Name'. I dunno if this was your original problem, and I can't test it right now to see if that really works. Just thought I'd try to help.

Edit: He really is a ninja
