[PQR] Help with flame shock

[alexxjr]

Hello everyone. First of all, thanks for this wonderful site and all of the profiles!

I've been using Cpoworks enhancement profile for quite some time now, good dps and good customization.

he does appear to be MIA at the time though. Made a request on his thread, but no answer so far.

Been trying to alter his Flame Shock coding, without luck, since my coding skills are minimal.

This is what I'm trying to achieve:

Apply Flame Shock if:

it is not applied on your target and Unleash Flame is up (buff granted by using Unleash Elements);
it is applied on your target and Unleash Flame is up;
it is not applied on your target, but Unleash Flame is not up and Unleash Elements will not come off cooldown in the next 5 seconds.


got 2 abilities right now:

Flame shock:

local Flameshock = select(7,UnitDebuffID("target",8050,"PLAYER"))  

if not AoE then
    if cdRemains(73680) < 5 then --Unleash elements
		return false
    end
	if not Flameshock then
		_castSpell(8050, "Target")
	end
else
    if cdRemains(73680) < 5 then --Unleash elements
		return false
    end
	if not Flameshock then
		_castSpell(8050, "Target")
	end
end

and Flame Shock (UE)

local Flameshock = select(7,UnitDebuffID("target",8050,"PLAYER"))  
local UF = select(7,UnitBuffID ("player",73683))

if not AoE then
	if Flameshock - GetTime() < 7
	and UF then
		_castSpell(8050, "Target")
	end
else
    if Flameshock - GetTime() < 13
	and UF then 
		_castSpell(8050, "Target")
	end
end

When I initiate combat I get a Lua error

Can anybody tell me what i should change to make this work?

this line:

if Flameshock - GetTime() < 7

add

if Flameshock and Flameshock - GetTime() < 7

try that.

and add it to the < 13 as well
