PQR - Rotation Bot

Rep+ to anyone who can help me with my questions.

edit:

Better seal upkeep so it doesn't refresh during battle.

local sealOfTruth, _, _, _, _, _, sealOfTruthEndTime = UnitBuffID("player", 31801)

-- 15 Minutes
if sealOfTruth == nil or sealOfTruthEndTime <= 900 then
return true
end

Can someone explain this. , _, _, _, _, _,

Hey all, when i start my wind_monk_nova profile in chat i seе "You are missing the idTip lua file to view Spell ID".
Where can I download this file?

Can someone explain this. , _, _, _, _, _,

the _,_,_,_ are fillers to get to the api call you want.
for example:
1 call 2 call of the api
local sealOfTruth, _, _, _, _, _, sealOfTruthEndTime = UnitBuffID("player", 31801)

the blanks are differ calls for that same api there are ways to make it easier in this case your code is :

local sealOfTruth, _, _, _, _, _, sealOfTruthEndTime = UnitBuffID("player", 31801)

-- 15 Minutes
if sealOfTruth == nil or sealOfTruthEndTime <= 900 then
return true
end

you can do this how ever you need to compare endtime with gettime to get a value:

local SealTimer = select(7, UnitBuffID("player", 31801)) 
-- with 'select' i'm selecting the seventh call of the api, if you wanted just the name it would be 1 not 7 etc etc

if not SealTimer or SealTimer - GetTime() <= 9 then
     return true
end

hope this helps.

its an addon off of curse/wowinterface. with addons going enabled soon you won't really need it as a part of pqr

Thanks for catching the error.

local sealOfTruth, _, _, _, _, _, sealOfTruthEndTime = UnitBuffID("player", 31801)

if sealOfTruth ~= nil then
	sealOfTruthEndTime = sealOfTruthEndTime - GetTime()
end

-- 15 Minutes
if sealOfTruth == nil or sealOfTruthEndTime <= 900 then
return true
end

Can you explain what calls they are?
Can I just call all the api's with a simple code instead of a _,_,_ or does it slow the rotation?

Would it be fine to just do _, _, _, _, _, for all spells?
I saw in bubbas frost profile it had only two ,_,_ for his trinket code.

Why are their two variables when you do the api call? sealOfTruth refers to the spell and sealOfTruthEndTime refers to something in the api? or all 5 of those api calls?

Does the variable only apply for the last api call or all of them?

edit:

local inquisition, _, _, _, _, _, inquisitionEndTime = UnitBuffID("player", 84963)
local holyPower = UnitPower("player", 9)

if holyPower == 2 and PQR_SpellAvailable(35395) and UnitBuffID("player", 86172) then
	CastSpellByID(35395,"target")
	CastSpellByID(85256,"target")
	return true
end

Will it stay on the spell until it's completed? So cast crusader followed by templar then return true to cast templar again.

Would solve my problem with knowing when a templar is cast, I can just place it above exo/how.

ok

i'm going to use unitbuff as the example.

name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable, 
shouldConsolidate, spellId = UnitBuff("unit", index or ["name", "rank"][, "filter"])

so if name is 1, rank is 2, icon is 3, so on and so on. thats how select works you select based off of what info you need. in some cases yes you will need both a name of the spell and expirationTime to get the info you need. however most of the time if you just need to see if a de/buff is up its easier to just check for the expirationTime of that spell.

as you can see there are many calls to UnitBuff but most aren't needed for profile use.

now _,_ are placeholders for the names that we skip, you can name them any way you'd like.

local _,_,_,_,_,_, Timer = UnitBuffID("player", 80108)
is the same as
local Timer = select(7, UnitBuffID("player", 80108))

with the first method you can't skip over calls hince the placeholders its just how lua works.

also I don't like using more than 1 castbyspellIDs in one if then statement. use the actions part for that.

Let me give it a go,

Default inq

local holyPower = UnitPower("player", 9)
local divinePurpose = UnitBuffID("player", 86172)
local inquisition, _, _, _, _, _, inquisitionEndTime = UnitBuffID("player", 84963)

if inquisition ~= nil then
	inquisitionEndTime = inquisitionEndTime - GetTime()
end

if inquisition == nil or inquisitionEndTime <= 2 then
	if holyPower == 3 or divinePurpose ~= nil then
		return true
	end
end

Like this?

local holyPower = UnitPower("player", 9)
local divinePurpose = UnitBuffID("player", 86172)
local Timer = select(7, UnitBuffID("player", 84963))

if inquisition == nil or Timer - GetTime() <= 2 then
	if holyPower == 3 or divinePurpose ~= nil then
		return true
	end
end

edit:

local holyPower = UnitPower("player", 9)

if holyPower == 2 and PQR_SpellAvailable(35395) and UnitBuffID("player", 86172) then
CastSpellByID(35395,"target")
CastSpellByID(85256,"target")
return true

Hey looking for a little help. I am making my own personal warrior profile for MOP and whenever I use code to get target's health I get a lua error if I am not targeting something. If I have something targeted it's fine. I also tried my profile on Live and it works fine even if not targeted. So just wondering if something has changed to cause this or if there is another way I need to do it for MOP. Here is the code .. I have tried it both ways.

local unithealth = 100 * UnitHealth("target") / UnitHealthMax("target")

local unithealth = UnitHealth("target") / UnitHealthMax("target") * 100

[crystal_tech]

Let me give it a go,

Default inq

local holyPower = UnitPower("player", 9)
local divinePurpose = UnitBuffID("player", 86172)
local inquisition, _, _, _, _, _, inquisitionEndTime = UnitBuffID("player", 84963)

if inquisition ~= nil then
	inquisitionEndTime = inquisitionEndTime - GetTime()
end

if inquisition == nil or inquisitionEndTime <= 2 then
	if holyPower == 3 or divinePurpose ~= nil then
		return true
	end
end

local holyPower = UnitPower("player", 9)
local divinePurpose = UnitBuffID("player", 86172)
local Timer = select(7, UnitBuffID("player", 84963))

almost, with the new code you don't have inquisition defined as a var so it will always equal nil, so you can drop that part

local holyPower = UnitPower("player", 9)
local divinePurpose = UnitBuffID("player", 86172)
local Timer = select(7, UnitBuffID("player", 84963))

if not Timer or Timer <= 2 then 
     if holyPower == 3 or divinePurpose ~= nil then return true end
end

as for

local holyPower = UnitPower("player", 9)

if holyPower == 2 and PQR_SpellAvailable(35395) and UnitBuffID("player", 86172) then
CastSpellByID(35395,"target")
CastSpellByID(85256,"target")
return true
end

local holyPower = UnitPower("player", 9)

if holyPower == 2 and PQR_SpellAvailable(35395) and UnitBuffID("player", 86172) then
CastSpellByID(35395,"target")
end

if holyPower == 2 and not PQR_SpellAvailable(35395) and UnitBuffID("player", 86172) then
CastSpellByID(85256,"target")
end

that might be better for ya don't know you'll need to play around with it.

@Wonderworm:
It's very easy, try this.

local health = UnitHealth("target") / UnitHealthMax("target") * 100 or 0

You can also go the long way around:

if UnitExists("target") then
	local health = UnitHealth("target") / UnitHealthMax("target") * 100
else local health = 0 end

if unitexists("target") then
local unithealth = UnitHealth("target") / UnitHealthMax("target") * 100
--the rest of the code
end

as a better example on how i do this look at my hunter/lock profiles in the calcs/functions ablity as I needed a target cause if i didn't it blew up with errors. so i made sure that i had a target before defining my globals and in each other ablity I make sure that I have said target and that i'm in combat.

I do the same thing on my HonorBuddy PQR Profile. For example, this is my code for Ferocious Bite:

local hasTarget = UnitExists("Target")
local isDead = UnitIsDead("Target")
local fbKnown = IsSpellKnown(22568)

if hasTarget and not isDead and fbKnown then
	local playerLevel = UnitLevel("Player")
	local fbCP = GetComboPoints("player", "target")
	
	if playerLevel <= 30 then
		if fbCP >= 4 then
			return true
		end
	elseif playerLevel > 30 and playerLevel < 85 then
		if fbCP >= 4 then
			return true
		end
	elseif playerLevel == 85 then
		local fbrip, _, _, _, _, _, fbtimer = UnitDebuffID("target", 1079, "PLAYER")
		local fbhealth = 100 * UnitHealth("target") / UnitHealthMax("target")
		local fbenergy = UnitPower("player") / UnitPowerMax("player") * 100

		if fbhealth <=60 then
			if fbrip ~= nil then
				if fbCP == 5 then
					return true
				end
			end
		else
			if fbrip ~= nil then
				if fbtimer - GetTime() > 8 and fbenergy >= 60 and fbCP == 5 then
					return true
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

The above code is used in a leveling profile. As you can tell, hasTarget is UnitExists(), isDead checks to see if the target is alive and if the target is dead, nothing is executed (when looting for example. And fbKnown checks to make sure you know and have learned Ferocious Bite. The rest is just ways that I have coded in different uses for the code at different level's. This one only has 2 different level variations, but a couple of the abilities in my HonorBuddy Leveling Profile has numerous level checks.

An interesting thing happened to me the other day or a "cool story" as the kids like to say...

I started a new toon, a shaman, just to level up and have something to do while I wait for MoP. Because PQR has made me so lazy now even at low levels, I loaded up the Onya resto shaman profile and stripped everything out of it except the spells I had. I was only around level 30 I think, so I had only earth shield and healing wave and healing surge. Anyway so I healed a few dungeons no problem. Then I get a dungeon and after a few pulls I get a whisper from the tank...

he says... "So how do you like using Shamwow?"

I actually had no idea what he was talking about, I thought maybe it was some cute name he used for shamans. So I said, "Yes its fun so far I guess..."

Then he replies, "Oh I am surprised you admit to using it, I also use it on my 85 shaman"

At this point I was confused, I thought maybe it was an addon or something, I had never used honor buddy before. So I quickly googled "shaman shamwow" and sure enough its a healing rotation profile or whatever they call them for honor buddy. Now I don't really care if some random person in a dungeon thinks I was botting or whatever, just the thing that I found really strange was that he thought for sure I was using this honor buddy rotation bot. I have no idea why he would think that since I was level 30 and only using 2 spells.

Anyway then I started getting a bit paranoid and was thinking about all thing things that give away the auto rotations. Since now I have used pqr for a long time and I use it on all my toons, I have noticed some suspicious activity from other players, even one player in my own guild. Just little things I notice now, like auto buffing and healing, say someone changes gear or spec and you have your healing rotation running and it instantly spam heals them because their health changed. Also the druid in my guild auto casts innervate on low mana players, I notice it on my pally when I change from ret spec to holy. It happens so fast I know it is automated, i'm positive its some kinda bot.

Just got me to thinking how many people are using PQR or honor buddy these days. Also made me think about being more careful to hide my "botting" clues. I guess most of the time the only people who will notice are the ones who are also using it themself. Still, it just proves how obvious it is if you know what to look for.

Still.... I have no idea what even made this tank think I was using an auto rotation....

Anyway that was my story thought you guys might relate to it.

[neoblack]

had sorta the samething happen in arenas b4 on my hpally i have noticed ppl in lfr like shammys its not always a dead give away but when we are all falling down from the boat to dw back and theres a line of totems lol somethings up
