[Guide] Writing a profile in PE for beginners.

[Mackdaddy2887]

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?

Yes.

It would look like:
{"Pause", "modifier.lalt" }
{"Pause", "player.buff(80169)" }
{"Pause", "player.buff(87959)" }
{"Pause", "player.dead" }
{"Pause", "target.dead" }

Not sure about mounted or spells targeting. Although player dead and mounted it's redundant because pe only runs if your dismounted and alive

Theres a guide to making your own profile around here somewhere.

What am I doing wrong with this range?

{ "Dragon Roar", "target.range <= 8", "modifier.cooldowns" },

That works fine without the target range , but when I put it in there it is never used. What am I doing wrong?

[StinkyTwitch]

Might try nesting the conditionals, see if that works.

{ "Dragon Roar", { "target.range <= 8", "modifier.cooldowns", }, },

{ "Dragon Roar", { "target.range <= 8", "modifier.cooldowns", }, },

Thanks, figured this out last night. Ended up using:

{ "Dragon Roar", { "!player.buff(Shield Charge)", "player.buff(Bloodbath)", "target.range <= 6", "modifier.cooldowns" } },

On another note. Is there a list of available hotkeys to use with "modifier.?"

[StinkyTwitch]

in PE you can use the following:

modifier.lshift
modifier.lcontrol
modifier.lalt
modifier.rshift
modifier.rcontrol
modifier.ralt

As well as globals that would capture left or right (mainly implemented for mac users):

modifier.shift
modifier.control
modifier.alt

is it possible to use an "OR" statement?

I would like to use a spell if
-> potion is ticking OR (potion is on CD + (Legendary ring Proc OR trinket proc))

or should I split this up into several spellcasts with the according conditions?

also how do I check for item cooldowns and how does the "ttd" condition work?

is this code correct (assuming there is no OR statement, since I haven't seen one being used in any CR I've looked at)

{ "Stampede", {
		"player.spell(Stampede).exists",
		"player.buff(Draenic Agility Potion)",
		"modifier.cooldowns",
	},
}, -- Stampede if Potion is up
{ "Stampede", {
		"player.spell(Stampede).exists",
		"#109217.cooldown > 0"
		"player.buff(Archmage's Greater Incandescence)"
		"modifier.cooldowns",
	}
}, -- Stampede if Potion is on CD, but Legendary Ring Proc
{ "Stampede", {
		"player.spell(Stampede).exists",
		"#109217.cooldown > 0"
		"player.buff(Lub-Dub)"
		"modifier.cooldowns",
	}
}, -- Stampede if Potion is on CD, but On-Use Trinket is up
{ "Stampede", {
		"player.spell(Stampede).exists",
		"ttd <=25",
		"modifier.cooldowns",
	}
}, -- Stampede if Target dies in 25 sec

Split it up into a couple of lines with the same spellcast, just with the different conditionals.

Awesome. That worked like a charm.

One question tho - does "#109217.cooldown > 0" (to check for Agi Potion cooldown) work, or is that a different syntax?

Wouldn't work, improper target syntax.

Or it shouldn't, at least. IF it does thats pretty cool.

You would want to use a direct api poll, I can't remember how our item CD check works.

[StinkyTwitch]

What we need is an item.cooldown register.

[ImogenOC]

Chances are it would be very resource intensive unless we did a once per second check.
