PQR - Rotation Bot

[Kinky]

Alrighty people. Frost Mage profile have been uploaded and tested! More Fire Mage changes are on their way in regards to Elegon especially. (Improving DPS on the Energy Charges.)

I haven't gotten around to creating new and updated download packages yet for the profiles, but I'll do that sometimes tonight! Currently testing out and debugging the Arcane Mage profile before I upload that as well. =) Hoping to get it out tonight.

I am going to start playing on the US servers again this week since my EU subscription runs out in two days. I've been asked by a few people if I could come raid together with them and for that matter I'm accepting any donations towards a character transfer and faction change on this link.

Nonetheless - My special little Christmas present for you guys is almost done as well. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but, one clue is that it's a PvP profile!

Anyway, more updates coming soon!

Awesome, thanks!!

Tyvm Mentally, Ill test it out in a bit here. I have never worked with GUID before, as crystal_tech pointed me in the right direction, I couldn't find any pertinent examples in the wowapi either ><

I'll need to change that so it isn't returning true if I had no previous target (Kinda need to have had one with rake and rip on it to soul swap) - otherwise awesome!

anyhow thanks! ill let u know how it works

*Edit*

Not working ..(Will this not work on a raiders dummy?)

this is what i changed:

local unitguid = (UnitGUID("target") or 0)
local EnemyHP = 100 * UnitHealth("target") / UnitHealthMax("target")

if unitguid ~= UnitGUID("target") then
    unitguid = UnitGUID("target")
    if EnemyHP > 50 and (not UnitDebuffID("target",1822) or not UnitDebuffID("target",1079)) then
        return true
    elseif unitguid == 0
        return false
    end
 end
end 

Also can I just use castspellbyname and getspellcooldown instead of using the box on the lower left for recast delay and spell id? Or will that not work since i cannot skip unknown and this is only a spell obtainable when symbiosis is cast on the particular class.

I want to do this for all class symbiosis combinations, so if that's possible then awesome.

*Edit 2 - apparently you cannot use the lower left box for symbiosis. When i added in castbyspellname instead, it works. (Tested with Feral Spirit Wolves from shaman) I have yet to test this revision for Soul Swap as I dont have a lock to give symbiosis to.

2 problems I see:
1) one of your ifs is missing a "then" (elseif unitguid == 0)

also, that should be "if unitguid == nil then"... the 2nd time you are setting the unitguid you are not using the "or 0" to modify the value if nil.

ok so i need some more help i cant for the life of me see why this would not work:

if PQR_PauseRotation == nil then
    PQR_PauseRotation = 0
elseif PQR_PauseRotation > GetTime() then
    return true
else
    PQR_PauseRotation = 0
end

local prospecting = GetSpellInfo(31252)

local castingSpell,_,_,_,_,endTime = UnitCastingInfo("player")
if (castingSpell and castingSpell == prospecting) then
    PQR_PauseRotation = GetTime() + endTime + 10.0
    return true
end 

some help would be great! i have it set to 10 seconds so i can tell that its working (or in this case not working ._.)
i want it to pause the rotation for 10 seconds every time i cast prospecting. (i do not want to interrupt it only stop another one from going off for x amount of seconds.)

your first if statement is the prob on first glance.

local atimer = 0
local prospecting = GetSpellInfo(31252) 
local castingSpell,_,_,_,_,endTime = UnitCastingInfo("player") 


--this only needs to be ran once if PQR_PauseRotation is a nil value
if PQR_PauseRotation == nil then 
    PQR_PauseRotation = 0 
end

--This is the switch to use for running the code
if atimer > 10 then
     PQR_PauseRotation = 1
else
      PQR_PauseRotation = 0
end

--if you castingSpell is prospecting and the switch is zero/one then update the switch timer and prospect
if castingSpell == prospecting and PQR_PauseRoation == 0 then 
    atimer = GetTime() + endTime + 10.0 
    return true 
end

try this might need to change the zero on the last if then statement to 1 for it to work

You are incorrectly using UnitCastingInfo(). endtime returns how long in milliseconds it will be until the cast ends. So if you look over your code, you are waiting 3000 seconds between casts instead of 13 seconds. Below I ran some test code to prospect some ore. Simply just waits 10 seconds from the end of the prospect before prospecting again.

--Clear global values to speed up testing.
if PQR_InterruptStarted then
    PQR_InterruptStarted = false
    
    PQR_PauseRotation = 0
end

-- Pause Handler, PQR_PauseRotation holds a timestamp value. Pauses when non-nil/non-zero value.
if PQR_PauseRotation == nil then
    PQR_PauseRotation = 0
elseif PQR_PauseRotation > GetTime() then
    return true
else
    PQR_PauseRotation = 0
end

-- Some test code to prospect some ghost iron ore
local prospecting = GetSpellInfo(31252)

local castingSpell,_,_,_,_,endTime = UnitCastingInfo("player")
if (castingSpell and castingSpell == prospecting) then
    -- Convert endtime from millseconds to seconds, then add a 10 second delay
    PQR_PauseRotation = endTime/1000 + 10.0
    return true
end

-- Not casting anything, so cast something.
CastSpellByID(31252)
UseItemByName(72092)
return true 

If its not even running the prospect the first time, make sure you have "Require Combat to Execute Rotation" unchecked in the rotation editor.

OMG you and everyone that have helped me get what should be something simple working are a life saver! i have spent the last 3 days trying to get this to work trying different ideas i have had to no avail, once i start something i cant get it out of my head till i finish. everyone that has helped me the last few days have been a great help giving me new ideas to try and overall getting closer to it working! thanks to snowhawk and every one that has given me some advice i now have a working way do delay in my rotation! with in the next day i should have the next release of Alpha Utilities with a much improved Prospecting, disenchanting, milling, my new farming profiles that will do every thing from planting a seed to gathering it, and the ability to auto get items out of and into your bank/gbank while prospecting/milling/disenchanting (to use the auto get items it will require a addon to work till i have some more time on my hands to code it all myself)

"failed to initialize properly" error? PLZ help

[Sovietpanda]

I have a couple of questions that I would like to ask.
1. How come you don't support 64bit? I understand that it would require a change in the code and all that jazz, but there are A LOT more people that use 64bit windows as apposed to 32bit. (Also on a side note, I can't use this program and tmorph at the same time :'(
2. That being said, are there any other alternatives for a 64bit version of wow? Or any plans to create a 64 bit version of this program?

No for both questions. He would have to re-write the whole program as well as get different offset's for 64bit. Almost everything is different I believe.

Thank you Xelper, i did notice the then missing, but i wasn't aware of the nil change being needed.

So placing the Nil is the same as if there was no previous target yes?

**EDIT - Also, as for checking distance to target, which would be the best to use?

and not UnitCanAttack("player", PQR_CustomTarget) or PQR_UnitDistance("player","target") 

In before people ask why UnitCanAttack - I was thinking that if the unit cannot attack me then I am not in melee range as well. Is PQR_UnitDistance still bugged and causing massive lag? Was reading something about that in sheurons profiles a while back.

Im in the works of adding as many viable Symbiosis abilities into one ability for all classes.

This would be needed for Ferals when using Death Coil and not in melee range of target, or Wrath for Paladins. Just need a direction of where to go to check distance. isSpellinRange will work for ensuring player is within 40 yards, but what to do for melee distance?

Thanks

So I'm trying to use Nova's newly updated Fire and Frost profiles but when I do it doesn't engage in combat, even if I use a skill to try and trigger it. is there something that I am missing? kabArcane works just fine

Have you tried implementing your own PQR_UnitDistance()? (PQR - Rotation Bot)

remove any ability from rotation if u dont have it.
it won't fire off if you dont have
