Use return value from a lua function as a PE condition

[Filint]

Hey.

Let's imagine I have a function myFunc. Pseudocode:

function myFunc()
  if whateveriwanttocheck > whatever then
    return true
  end
  return false
end

How do I use the result from myFunc in a ProbablyEngine?

...
{"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/

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

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

{ "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!

Awesome, thanks! It looks like this is exactly what I need, will try tomorrow and post back here.
