[Guide] Writing a profile in PE for beginners.

[ImogenOC]

#1 it's somewhere in the core, I'll find it when I get home and edit this.
#2 "/use 13" or "/use 14"

EDIT:

As promised! Probably/system/protected/firehack.lua

This can be checked via player.firehack (if it is loaded). From there you can call it vita [targ].area(VAR).enemies


e.g. player.area(20).enemies > 10

Parenthesis is the area to check, your var past the arg checks the count.

Check out probably/system/conditions/core.lua for a full list of conditions

Updated. Additionally, FH has a full API available on their site.

Blame blizzard for that. :P I'm still working on a platform for us.

In the meantime, a rotation is easy to make.

File Layout
wow/interface/addons/Probably_YourRotation/
/Probably_YourRotation/Probably_YourRotation.toc

## Interface: 50400
## Title: Rotation Title
## Notes: ProbablyEngine Custom Rotation or Whatever
## Dependencies: Probably
rotation.lua

/Probably_YourRotation/rotation.lua

ProbablyEngine.rotation.register_custom(SpecID, "YourRotationName", { 

"Incombat",

}, { 

"OutOfCombat",

},
function() -- If you add extra toggles
ProbablyEngine.toggle.create('burst', 'Interface\\Icons\\ability_warrior_decisivestrike', 'Burst Button', 'Get ****ed')
end)

Further dependancies are just added to the .toc

Hope that helps!

where do you add the healing part.

The giant function you used to put in the beginning.. blah blah @coregroupneedhealing or something

That function was reaallly never meant to be used; but if you really want to, you call it in the condition part of your spell call.

Thank you for all your help so far. This is not hindering anything but would be useful if I could get it to work. I would like to wrap a rotation with a buff or modifier so I do not have to add it in each line.

This is what it currently is:

{ "Final Verdict" , "player.buff(Avenging Wrath)" },  },                                                                                           
{ "Crusader Strike" , "player.buff(Avenging Wrath)" },  },

What I am trying to do

{{
{ "Final Verdict" },                                                                                      
{ "Crusader Strike" }  
}, "player.buff(Avenging Wrath)" },

The second one does not work, it breaks the code and does not allow the profile to be loaded.

Comma.
You missed a comma.
{ "Crusader Strike" } <----

We all do it.

Is it possible to make a or in PE? And how do i do it?

[boxo]

as in an "or" ? no. basically you write the same thing twice with different conditions.

[thefrobel]

Just getting into PE and looking to replicate old 1button macro style raiding.
I see this guide (thread?) is deprecated. Just wondering how long until the new one is up, or should I just ask my questions here?

[Lightbrand]

Is there a way to "pause" PE when a target circle (AOE spell) is in target mode?

As in I don't want it to keep spamming spells and overriding my target circle when I want to heroic leap or throw ravager.

[Mackdaddy2887]

put heroic leap or ravager into your rotation.


{"heroic leap", "modifier.lalt", "mouseover"}

then while ingame hold lalt

[Lightbrand]

I can't do that because some of my binding is Alt or Shift + something and it'll trigger by accident.

what about Control?

Also you can add a pause into your CR. Dont know what you would do for jus tthe targeting thing.

For example I have a few !SPELLNAME, which makes the spell cast immdieatly regardless of your current cast, so sometimes it would interrupt my divine hymn or tranquility, so i added a:

{ "pause", "player.buff(Divine Hymn)" }, at the very top of my routine. to pause it so it wouldnt accidently cancel.

as for your case though.. I dont see a way to pause it just for targeting circle.

now, there is a way to create custom function and make a spell queue. so that ingame you click a macro and itll jump (macro replaces the ability) I dont know how to do this though. See other people routines maybe you can figure it out.

[Lightbrand]

Well in PQR what I had was a "Setting" ability which does nothing, so essentially "pause" in which I put conditions for it to trigger such as when target is not attackable, when they have divine shield, when target is dead, AND lastly SpellIsTargeting()

if IsLeftAltKeyDown()
or IsMounted()
or SpellIsTargeting()
or UnitBuffID("player",80169)
or UnitBuffID("player",87959)
or UnitChannelInfo("player")
or UnitIsDeadOrGhost("player")
or UnitIsDeadOrGhost("target")
then return true end

Is that something PE is able to reproduce?
