[BETA] PQRotation - an automated ability priority queue.

[imdasandman]

Not a very coder like response, where is your ingenuity? I will probably re-implement target interrupts as a rotation ability and add some custom logic to not interrupt in stealth, I just need to know how the interrupts actually work (i.e. is it based on a timer initiated at spell_cast_start events or something?) I don't know the WOW api very well.

he meant in the settings option turn off to interupt all spells/casts.

A little odd that you would be attempting to recreate the wheel when sheuron's profiles has had code for this for months.

-- Avoid sudden death on Ultraxion
local fadingtime = select(7,UnitDebuffID("player",110070))
if fadingtime and fadingtime - GetTime() < 1 then RunMacroText("/click ExtraActionButton1") end 

-- Avoid Hour of Twilight on Ultraxion, Delete next 3 lines if you are working as tank
local channelSpell, _, _, _, _, endTime = UnitCastingInfo("boss1")
if channelSpell == GetSpellInfo(109417) and endTime/1000 - GetTime() < 1.3 
then RunMacroText("/click ExtraActionButton1") end 

-- Try to aim on Darkmoon Faerie Cannon
local canontime = select(7,UnitBuffID("player",102116))
if canontime and canontime - GetTime() < 1.15 then CancelUnitBuff("player","Magic Wings") end

-- Avoid sudden death on Madness (kickmydog)
local tentacledeath = select(7,UnitDebuffID("player",109597))
if tentacledeath and tentacledeath - GetTime() < 1 then RunMacroText("/click ExtraActionButton1") end

i was using that code for awhile, but others like mentally have posted that it did not work on heroic. thanks sheuron and mentally for the info!

Thread cleaned up, please keep a civilized conversation. Have a nice day.

Not sitting at my gaming laptop at the moment but i think that Fading light did not work on HM. Hour of Twilight worked since they used the name and not the ID to detect the cast. note that Fading Light have different ID dependent on the raid settings.

local channelSpell, _, _, _, _, endTime = UnitCastingInfo("boss1")
if channelSpell == GetSpellInfo(109417)

This for example gets the name of the spell being cast and compare it to a spell id. The returned name is the same.

local fadingtime = select(7,UnitDebuffID("player",110070))

This tough just takes the ID and see if you have the debuff, which you only have in one of the instances. UnitDebuffID is good for localizations but you need to be careful with debuffs with the same name but different IDs.

where i can found a shadow and dk endgame dragonsoul t13 4pc rotation script?

The answer to dk.... in the future, I'm gearing up my dk slowly again, been pinned down by pally.

In regards to shadow.... near future mentally said they were almost ready

---------
In regards to outburst.... avery u are the first person to have a malicious post towards me. I understand some profile releases don't work for others, however I ALWAYS test them out on myself first. When I get 3 people saying the profile works fine and love it then one person getting mad at me for "improper testing" obviously I'm not the problem, maybe go back a few pages urself.

Saying a profile doesn't work is totally.... and completely..... unhelpful. As you see in previous pages people have issues with the Aura ability. I haven't gotten that bug for a few releases now since I fixed the logic, but obviously there's still a way to break it... guess what he's actually trying to help me.... your post just has an overlay of malice towards me, the writer, since you are frustrated u have to find an older release u have tested and known. I do my best to provide reliable releases. If I'm happy with it, then I put it on SVN for people that want to TEST my latest release. Rant complete.

Regarding interrupt question

This is a basic one, taken from the HOT functionality

local channelSpell, _, _, _, _, endTime = UnitCastingInfo("boss1")

Change the boss1 to UnitID you want, target, focus or whatever you want. Arena1, Arena2 etc works as well.

The return parameters are
spell, rank, displayName, icon, startTime, endTime, isTradeSkill, castID, interrupt

So i would suggest that you check interrupt as well to make sure that you can interrupt it. Also if you do pvp make sure to list the spells you want to interrupt, and also check the end time of the cast and interrupt as late as you dare to.

It does work on heroic, just downed Heroic Ultraxion yesterday with it, I had no problems. What it doesn't do is use your class abilities if you are soaking the Hour of Twilight. In those cases it's worthwhile pausing the rotation, using the ability manually and then restarting the rotation again. Since the bot cannot predict if you are going to be a soaker or not. However if you are not soaking at all it works 100% on Hour of Twilight and Fading Light in Heroic mode.

I have a compilation of the DK cc's i have no idea how to put the whole set of them up here since well it is Gorthlaks(spelling), diesels, bubas and leet jerks profiles all of which at least for masterfrost I put the mouseover dnd code and pause functions....

to buba I know that leetjerk is gone for awhile and he said anyone could continue his work so maybe you can get Runic mastery to work properly.. everything I try seem to not work(blows unholy runes when one needs to stay up). If there is a way I can send the files to you so you can pull from your svn let me know.

Hi I just wanted to say thank you to all the people working so hard on this. My question is in regards to the 64 bit client, is there any way to get the program to work with it? Thanks for your time.

NO u cant if its not made for it

[kclux]

It is actually unbelievable that some ppl dare to seriously complain in a rude manner bout not working profiles, the profile authors give you something for free and if you are not happy with it, make your own profile or ask nicely if something can get improved. After all, once again it is for FREE, you did not buy something.

And if you actually jump into a progress raid with a new profile without even testing it before, well I wonder who should have tested something first there.

@bu_ba_911 , I was just trying to figure out where in your latest release the Deep Corruption checks are hidden until I noticed on google code that you removed all of it again Is there any chance that you add that again or did it not work at all ? Thanks and keep up the good work !

Profile was buggy with them. I plan on adding them into my rewrite, but that's going slowly because I'm spending so much time fixing the current pally profile so people are happy with it then I can have time to go over it if its a necessity I'll break my vow of not adding anything more in, and give valma's code a try.

I keep my rewrite in my WIP folder on svn for any interested in how the code will look (people that can atleast read lua)

With the help of bu_ba_911 I've been working on getting a merged Single target/ AOE version of my profile out. I just need one or two testers to give it a whirl. If you would be interested in trying it out PM for the link.

- changes AOE/single target toggle with a press of a button
- AOE automanages explosive trap on mouseover as part of the rotation
- Rapid Fire will no longer be used automatically, instead it will be used on a button press for those situations where it would benefit having your cooldown saved.

I'm pretty excited about the changes made, especially with the contributions made by bu_ba_911 on this.

I don't know how other people feel but for me when I use this program I am not interested in it totally automating the whole game for me. Maybe its a fun challenge for the programmers to see how much they can code, but what I am seeing lately is the more complex rotations becoming buggy.

I use PQR with great success on many different classes and specs, but I have customized my rotations to work in the purest way possible with minimal abilities and code. This lets me personally do alot of cooldowns when I need them and concentrate on following the game mechanics. Things like heroic will... why do you even need this when you have a fully automated dps or healing rotation and you don't even need to move your toon on that fight.... the only thing left for the human to do is click a button at the right time. Do you really want to just afk for 5 mins?

Also many fights have specific phases where you want to save your cooldowns and then use them at a specific time to get maximum performance. Sure if people want to try and program these things, but it seems the more complex people are trying to make these rotations they are just getting more buggy.
