Is there a spell timer script anywhere?

[HalfMercy]

I'm thinking it would be handy to have a visual indicator of how much time my Consecrate Weapon / Div Fury have on them  and/or how long debuffs or negative effects on monsters are going to last. If this has ever been done, I can't find it unfortunately.

On EasyUO this is not easy to do.
You would either need the calculation factors (skill , effect , calculations through resist and such) and calculate once the Skill Icon appears or parse text once you hover over the symbol on buff | debuff bar.

This is only about  NEGATIVE buffs you cause on a target..

This issue has 2 sides.

(1) Actions that cause a Buff icon to appear on target and originators bar  (ie bard masteries and others)
     As crome stated you can mouse over the icon and it shows a countdown.   I have previously thought about adding this ability to read this timer to the buffbar scanner;  but didn't do it because is would mean moving the mouse and that would likely interrupt any combat game play going on and it is far simpler and far faster to simply repeatedly read the buff bar until the icon is gone. (buff bar scans take milliseconds)  


(2) Actions that only cause a buff icon on target bar.
    For these you have no choice but to calculate the length of duration based on a published or estimated formula.



Their might be a few cases where you get a journal message when the negative effect wears off the target .. but not 100% sure on that.

Gotcha, thanks. I play a free server where we don't have the buff icons so I do a mental countdown, lol. For short term effects it's good enough but on longer ones like bless, not so much. Oh well

since you don't have the buff bar and require to use the timer,  at some point in time we use timer too. 

this what you can may be do to help you.  set all you timer on top

Code: [Select]

set %spellTimerCW #scnt

while #true
{
if %spellTimerCW < #scnt )
   gosub CWep
}
sub CWep
    event macro 15 203
    set %spelltimer #scnt + 10 ; 10 is for the time to wait before it recast CW again.   
    wait 5   ;  this is to help with FCR
return

Took me a few mins to knock up the code below;  you can add as many actions as you wanted that would repeat when the set time is passed.  (You can make is more instantaneous if you use Milliseconds instead of seconds...  have fun   (untested code but should more or less work)

Code: [Select]

gosub  AddAction  ConcencrateWeapon 15 203  10
;gosub AddAction  ActionName event1 event2  timelasts
;gosub AddAction  ActionName event1 event2  timelasts
;gosub AddAction  ActionName event1 event2  timelasts

set !Count 0
Repeat
  set !Count !Count + 1
  if !Count > %TotalActions
    set !Count 1

  if #scnt >  %ActionTime . !Count
    {
    event macro  %ActionEvent1  . !Count  %ActionEvent1  . !Count
    set %ActionTime . !Count %ActionTimeLasts . !Count + #scnt
    wait 5
    }
until  #charghost = yes
halt

gosub AddAction   ; ActionSubName  event1 event2  wait timelasts
   if %TotalActions = N/A
      set %TotalActions 0
   set %TotalActions %TotalActions + 1
   set %ActionSubName . %TotalActions %1
   set %ActionEvent1 . %TotalActions %2
   set %ActionEvent2 . %TotalActions %3
   set %ActionTimeLasts . %TotalActions  %4
   set %ActionTime . %TotalActions  %ActionTimeLasts . %TotalActions  - #scnt  ; trigger straight away
return

Thank you both, Ghost and EN! Very nice of you guys to do that + I'm anxious to start trying them out! 

[The Ghost]

Nice job EN.  will you be willing to add a few line of explanation beside each line.   I'm trying to understand the next level of coding and having a little bit of problem.    Like you use "dot"  not sure why?

sure thing... by the way the code was just an extrapolation of the code you had posted.    But I did just notice 2 small errors so below is corrected and below that big explanation version   ..   you should look up . and ,  uses in the wiki  http://wiki.easyuo.com/index.php?title=Operators

;
;  Every time you call this sub is increates the value of %TotalActions by 1.   It then sets the varialbes %ActionSubname1 = %1 etc

; Add more timers in the this format... doesnt matter how many you add.

until  #charghost = yes     ; stop looping when the the player is a ghost.
halt   ;  very important that you halt the script.  Good script structure  is start/initialize  Some-Action-Loop  Halt  Subs (that contain the bulk of the code).

   set %ActionTime . %TotalActions  %ActionTimeLasts . %TotalActions  - #scnt  ; trigger straight away  - as above sets the next trigger time
return
To see all the Vars set run the code then from tools choose VarDump...   scroll down and look at all the %Action?? Vars.
