    Use return value from a lua function as a PE condition

    Hey.

    Let's imagine I have a function myFunc. Pseudocode:
    Code:
    function myFunc()
      if whateveriwanttocheck > whatever then
        return true
      end
      return false
    end
    How do I use the result from myFunc in a ProbablyEngine?
    Code:
    ...
    {"Random ability", myFunc()} --Doesn't work
    ...
    {"Random ability", (function() return myFunc() end)} --Obviously doesn't work either ;)
    There must surely be a way.

    Cheers

    Indeed!
    Register your function inside the rotation.lua w/
    Code:
    ProbablyEngine.library.register('functionName', {
    if function
    then function
    else function
    end
    end
    end})

    So if I wanted to do... Say, heal a raid, it's easily accomplished by
    Code:
    ProbablyEngine.library.register('coreHealing', {
      needsHealing = function(percent, count)
        return ProbablyEngine.raid.needsHealing(tonumber(percent)) >= count
      end,
      needsDispelled = function(spell)
        for _, unit in pairs(ProbablyEngine.raid.roster) do
          if UnitDebuff(unit.unit, spell) then
            ProbablyEngine.dsl.parsedTarget = unit.unit
            return true
          end
        end
      end,
    })
    Wherein we can call to corehealing as

    Code:
    { "Spell", "@function.condition(x,y)", "target" },
    { "Tranquility", "@coreHealing.needsHealing(60, 4)", "lowest" },
    Where

    Spell = Spell Casted
    @ = Internal Func specified
    coreHealing = Func called
    .needsHealing = Condition
    (60, = Percentage
    4) = Player Count
    Lowest = Lowest Raid HP

    Hope that helps!
