PQR - Rotation Bot

I may get the award for n00b question of the day, nonetheless here goes.

The Crystal_Tech SV profile I use has left shift being used as a toggle, which works flawlessly if i tap lshift. The problem is that if I hold it down LShift for longer than .2 seconds it cycles (repeats) enabled/disabled continually until released. The default setting for the toggle is set at .2 sec, so I attempted to increase that time to various amounts to no avail. Ideally I would like it where, shift key down, shift key up = toggle. I don't know if this is an issue with sticky keys? my hardware or a profile issue. I've tried enabling and disabling sticky keys. I've attempted key repeat speed from control panel, and frankly I'm stumped.

If it is in fact a LShift issue that can not be changed for whatever reason, I would like to change default profile bindings. So far I have been unsuccessful in pulling that off even with reading Crys_Techs tutorial regarding a similiar question. Any guidance/ideas would be appreciated.

Alrighty - A few updates as to why I've not been so active the past few days. :P I'm getting ready for an exam next week so I've just spent the past two days trying to catch up and refresh on my subjects. Furthermore my poor baby got a hernia so I've had to spend some extra time together with him after seeing the doctors.

My Fire Mage profile is pretty much done.. I still have some timing issues with Combustion, as in, it's disregarding my checks regardless of the coding hierarchy, which has gotten me pretty annoyed. For now, it has a few different profiles:
- Single-Target (Auto-PoM): This will basically cast Alter Time and Presence of Mind for you, in the best possible way and scenario.
- Single-Target (Auto-PoM - High Crit): Same as above, this profile will use Alter Time and Presence of Mind for you in the best possible way and scenario. This is designed for people with high crit levels (25-27%+) and should yield more DPS than the normal profile.
- Single-Target (Manual): This profile will not automatically use Alter Time for you. If Presence of Mind is your selected Tier 1 talent, it will automagically use this for you.
- Single-Target (Maual - High Crit): Again as above, slightly modified for people with high crit values. If Presence of Mind talent is your selected Tier 1 talent, it will automagically use this for you.

All the profiles comes with a Hold Cooldown trigger, and a AoE hold trigger. (Press and hold to AoE on mouseover location.) Personally, with very crap gear (iLvl 453, 14.3% hit, 18% crit/mastery) against a Heroic Training Dummy, have managed to generate a sustainable 67k DPS without much effort. Again this is RNG based and I missed around 5% of my spells, so it solely depends on the person currently using it and his/her gear. Reforging to reach the hit cap, I managed to pull 150k something DPS on Heroic Elegon. (Will update this post with an image afterwards.)

Furthermore, I slightly updated Shadow Priests as I noticed there were an issue with Mind Spike not casting while running, (beats me why I did that.) and mindlessly spamming Shadow Word: Pain, which it shouldn't do. The Shadow Priest update should be coming later today as well, properly casting Mind Spike while moving as well as Shadow Word: Pain when you have above 75% Mana and no Mind Spike procs.

As always guys, don't forget that we've changed our SVN host from Google Code to Assembla. You can find our new home here, Team Nova @ Assembla.com

@Xvvt: Could you paste the code enclosed in a code tag, please? =)

your wanting it the way It was in Cata? where you have to hold the shift key to activate the spells? I can do that/did do that however with the spam fest of new spells I found myself holding the shift key for too long for what they did hence the toggle.

I would like to have it where the toggle doesn't happen until keystroke up. That way i could still use shift down as a modifier for a number of other binds I use. Basically get 2 modifiers out of one key.

ah, I don't think i can do that. Due to the fact its using IsLeftShiftKeyDown() api so its only going to return a true or false. now if you want to try something try this:

Thanks for the quick responses, that link is going to help immensely.

@mentally - Best wishes on a speedy recovery for the little one.

U should use Team Novas Windwalkerprofile for leveling.
Make sure u disable AOE (I think pressing left ALT or left CTRL) after starting with alt-x because u have none till lvl46.
I am using it with my little panda monk and it works just fine.

Happy lvling

Thanks Hoblerhans for the heads up, I will check it out

Make sure you are running World of Warcraft in 32 bit mode as well.

In the launcher for WoW, upper left corner: Click on Options > Game Preferences > make sure *Launch 32 bit Client* is checked.

If that doesn't solve your issue, then it is indeed the profile not supporting your level. (The majority of all profiles are written for lvl 85-90

I am running in windowed mode and in 32 bit mode.


My own notes:

I am assuming all i had to do was hit alt -x , are there any other keys to hit to tell it when it is supposed to attack a tgt?

@Mentally aww poor baby hope he will get well again soon Looking forward to see your mage profile, will PoM be mandatory or does it also support scorch ?

[Kinky]

@Xvvt : Thanks.
@kclux: I hope so too! And no, Presence of Mind isn't mandatory in any of my profiles. Of course it's supporting Scorch as well!

[n1bl3r]

@mentally, cant wait for your mage profile. Have you seen this article about changes to arcane and Combustion coming in 5.1?
Arcane Brilliance: Patch 5.1 preview for mages

Hope your baby gets well soon!

[Kinky]

@n1bl3r: Yeah, I'm aware of it. =)

Would someone be able to help me with checking a DK function?

I want to be able to check if I have a ghoul up and I'm at < 40 hp and cast Death Pact.

This is what I'm using but it doesn't seem to want to work.

local health = 100 * UnitHealth("player") / UnitHealthMax("player")

if PQR_SpellAvailable(46584)
and health < 40
and UnitExists("pet")
then 
return true
end

First make sure the profile you use support updating through the program, and if it does its in the rotation editor.
