[PQR] Help with Eclipse mechanic! (3.3.5)

[Zyraxian]

Hi

I'm trying to create a Moonkin profile for patch 3.3.5 (before the Solar Power changes) and I've hit a wall. Is there any way PQR can track internal cooldowns? That would make things a lot easier! If not, this is what I've come up with -

lunar = UnitBuffID("player", 48518) 
solar = UnitBuffID("player", 48517) 

if lunar ~= nil then RunMacro("SwitchBar2") or if solar ~= nil then RunMacro("SwitchBar1") and RunMacro("Click ActionButton1") end

I put Wrath on button 1, page 1 and Starfire on button 1, page 2. I'm trying to get it to work so that it spams click on button 1 (either Wrath or Starfall) and when I get either a Lunar or Solar proc, it switches action bar pages and starts casting the other spell. I'm not sure if there's an easier way to do it. Either way, I can't get the script to work since I'm terrible at this stuff.

Bit of help getting this working would be awesome (or even better, if someone has a working Balance script for 3.3.5 ). I've managed to get most of my profiles running fairly well but this eclipse mechanic is killing me.

Thanks!

Go to my page and look at my free boomkin profile.

Eclipse is a bitch since it is "slow" to detect, so if you don't put special detail into spells it will end up casting a extra wrath or starfire at the end of a phase.

Just adjust it, test, rinse and repeat until it is working as you like

Could you link it? I can't see any free profiles on your site!

Meant my thread sorry.

Ah, thanks!

Seems like your profile is made for the newer version of eclipse (post 4.0.1).

Oh crap I'm sorry.

When I get home ill sit down and see if I can get you what you need

Cheers mate. It's probably a pain for you if you don't already play on a 3.3.5 private server - no reason to go to the effort

Thanks for the help, anyway!

local lunar = UnitBuffID("player", 48518)  
local solar = UnitBuffID("player", 48517)  
 
if lunar ~= nil then  
RunMacro("/changeactionbar 2")  
end 
 
if solar ~= nil then  
RunMacro("/changeactionbar 1") 
RunMacro("/click ActionButton1")  
end  

Give that a shot. remember that "~=" means "not". So by saying "Solar ~= nil" you are saying that you do have the solar buff.

Hm - no luck! Nothing happens at all with that macro (I changed the macro names to match mine).

The old Eclipse is just a matter of switching between spells whenever you get a proc.

Eg.

Wrath > Wrath > Wrath (Lunar Proc) > Starfire > Starfire > Starfire > Starfire > Starfire (Solar Proc) > Wrath, etc.

So it has to keep casting that spell even after the proc wears off, until the next proc happens, otherwise you have to wait out the internal CD of the first proc.

GOT IT! Raa. Finally. I've been facepalming this silly thing for hours!


Your idea was almost there, I just tweaked it a bit and now it's working perfectly

I'd prefer to be able to do it without the macros and action bar switching, but I can't see how PQR can track the old version of Eclipse directly since there's no power bar, etc.
