Healing Engine Help

[Tiger23078001]

Hi, I'm writing a Holy Pally profile and am using the following code to apply Eternal Flame:

{ "Eternal Flame", { 
  "player.holypower >= 3",
  "!lowest.buff(Eternal Flame)",
  "lowest.range < 40",
  "lowest.health <= 75"}, 
"lowest"}, 

Now, with that it is checking to see who the 'lowest' HP raid member is, if that person already has the buff, it will move to the next thing in the priority. Is there a function that can be written to have Eternal Flame cast on the lowest raid/party member that doesn't have the buff currently? So if 2 raid members are under the health threshold and the lower of the 2 has the buff already, cast it on the other.

Thanks in advance!

I'm a melee, so I have little experience with the healing engine, but yes what you described should function properly.

A fully fledged healing engine IS in the making, I promise.

There is not a function like that. I have the same problem with riptide, and have been trying to figure out a way to make it work. so far, not good.

That's great to hear. Any idea on when it will be ready? Do you need people to help test it?

Might be a bit... Lots of shit going on in my house and I might be homeless/without net soon. I'll keep you all informed on the engine.

When will the next version released? I can't wait!

Isn't the description of your code, doing what you are looking for? i don't understand the difference :-/

His code is fine up until the target. You can write a totally ass backwards rotation if you want that heals people who don't need it.
In this case, it will ALWAYS check the lowest health, not the lowest with a buff. That's the current limit of the engine. (As I said, working on that)
If you really wanted, you could tell PE to only cast Frostbolt if your focus was at exactly 2% hp, on your target that is currently casting fear. I don't know why you would, but it's possible.
In this case, it may be doing exactly what he wants... But then I don't know why he would be checking.

I have understood, but what would change? Rapidity in the code execution?

To make what he wants happen? It all turns on the "lowest" unit, as defined by PE. "Lowest" is the person in range with the lowest health, always. So, if you follow his logic, as soon as PE sees that the person with the lowest health has eternal flame, it moves to the next action, because the condition is not satisfied.

In order to do what this person wants, it would require a different type of unit, like "lowestwithbuff", or a way to put conditions on units themselves, like "lowest.withbuff".

[zeldaboch]

But adding condition ... { ..."!eternal flame"... } isn't it the same?

[boxo]

But adding condition ... { ..."!eternal flame"... } isn't it the same?

nope. if you add that, it will check the lowest health raid member for eternal flame. if that one raid member has it, then the action won't execute. Like I said before, lowest is the person with the lowest health, always.

So, if you're in a raid with Bob, Sam and Joe, and Bob has 30% health, Sam has 40% and Joe has 60%.

PE defines "lowest" as Bob, and casts eternal flame on Bob.
PE looks and sees that the person defined as "lowest" (Bob) has eternal flame, and moves to whatever's next in the rotation.

[zeldaboch]

Ahhhh didn't noticed this mechanics
i was thinking that it look for the lowest, if it find the buff it will look for the next lowest but without the buff. now i understand many things

It was simply an oversight in the creation. The healing engine is... Not good what so ever hahaha
I promise I'm working on it
