Use Blizzard UI-Protected Functions

[i2lurchi]

Be pretty good for general in ulduar for lazy people.

Any idea if you can make an interrupt on a certain cast / channel rather than any cast / channel? So far stuck with -

/dump loadstring("local _, d, _ = GetSpellCooldown(\"kick\") if UnitCastingInfo(\"target\") and (d == 0) then SpellStopCasting() CastSpellByName(\"kick\") else CastSpellByName(\"sinister strike\") end")()

Edit: Also anybody know what id do so it only casts SS at 65>energy so it will reserve kick energy?

/dump n,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_=UnitCastingInfo("focus");_,d,_=GetSpellCooldown("Kick"); if n=="Searing Flames" and d==0 then TargetUnit("focus") CastSpellByName("Kick") elseif UnitPower("player")>=65 then CastSpellByName("Sinister Strike") end

try it
(but you have to use
/dump loadstring("DevTools_DumpCommand = (function(msg) loadstring(msg)() end)")()
everytime you relog/reload UI!)

Silent dump found:

Execute this once per UI (re)load and it will replace the /dump handeling:

/dump loadstring("DevTools_DumpCommand = (function(msg) loadstring(msg)() end)")()

or

/dump (function() DevTools_DumpCommand = (function(msg) loadstring(msg)() end) end)()

This version doesn't need a

loadstring("")()

or

(function()  end)()

wrapper. Instead type the lua code directly after /dump. Example:

/dump if (UnitHealth("Player") > 15000) then CastSpellByName("Life Tap") end

It also doesn't give a warning when there is a syntax error.

Very nice find.
This means that it is usable through addons, by calling DevTools_DumpCommand("lua").
That's also very weird.
It means that (even though all LUA runs in the main thread), for SOME reason this LUA runs outside the standard protection. Very weird.
Can I ask where you found this?

EDIT: Nvm., I found it myself.

The reason as to why this work, is that /dump is a slash command that is run by a blizzard signed addon (it's in AddOns\Blizzard_DebugTools\Dump.lua) - blizzard signed addons have access to commands like this.
This is a really easy fix, so it's probably fixed really soon.

In that case how would you go about using using these commands with Addons still enabled?

Sweet...hehe. +rep

K here is my problem:
I have the "Death Coil if >60 runic power" bound to my Death Strike and Heart Strike. I also want to bind the macro that casts mind freeze when the opponent is casting bound to HS and DS but putting both /dumps in one macro would exceed the limit. Can someone help me please.

/dump _,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,i=UnitCastingInfo("target");c=CastSpellByName;if i==false then c("Mind Freeze") elseif UnitPower("player")>=60 then c("Death Coil") else c("Heart Strike") end

/dump _,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,i=UnitCastingInfo("target");c=CastSpellByName;if i==false then c("Mind Freeze") elseif UnitPower("player")>=60 then c("Death Coil") else c("Death Strike") end

should work

use

/dump loadstring("DevTools_DumpCommand = (function(msg) loadstring(msg)() end)")()

everytime you relog/reload UI!

[xipwnedux]

/dump _,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,i=UnitCastingInfo("target");c=CastSpellByName;if i==false then c("Mind Freeze") elseif UnitPower("player")>=60 then c("Death Coil") else c("Heart Strike") end

/dump _,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,i=UnitCastingInfo("target");c=CastSpellByName;if i==false then c("Mind Freeze") elseif UnitPower("player")>=60 then c("Death Coil") else c("Death Strike") end

should work

use

/dump loadstring("DevTools_DumpCommand = (function(msg) loadstring(msg)() end)")()

everytime you relog/reload UI!

Is the last code necessary every time I log in?

Anyway, thanks!


Also I was wondering if there were any helpful macros for a level 10 paladin twink.

[pyre]

I just open a new chat window. Try it out. go to settings and check everything in the first window (BG chat, whispers etc)

without using

/dump loadstring("DevTools_DumpCommand = (function(msg) loadstring(msg)() end)")()

my macros won't work

[xipwnedux]

yea i tried opening a new window but i find just putting in the code is best.

Totem Stomping macro anywhere?

Totem Stomping macro anywhere?

The same protected functions that target units by name will still fail even in a secure codepath for totems. So no, there are no obvious applications for totem stomping, in the traditional sense. You might be able to work something out using nameplates, however.

Note to all;

This 'exploit' will work until the next patch. (Most likely will be a minor patch, just to fix the silly Lua bug you're all exploiting).

I suggest someone with decent Lua knowledge, writes a small addon to hook the PLAYER_ENTER_WORLD event to run some 'setup' commands for you guys. (Killing /dump spam, setting up some other variables, etc) And also register a 1 letter slash command (eg; /d) to use in macros. Possibly shorten some widely used function names so you can get more room in stuff. Or hell; just edit the Lua files to 'bot' with.

Edit:

I'm no Lua expert, but I *believe* this code should work. Just make it an addon or something and test it.

-- Handles silencing the /dump command for you. This executes any time the UI is reloaded or we change zones via UI load
-- Also includes after login!
local pewFrame = CreateFrame("dumpFrame")
pewFrame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")
pewFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self,event,...)
        EL("DevTools_DumpCommand = (function(msg) loadstring(msg)() end)")
end)

-- ExecuteLua (Truncated to EL)
function EL(lua)
    loadstring(lua);
end

-- CastSpellByName (Truncated to CSBN)
function CSBN(name)
    EL("CastSpellByName(" .. name .. ")"))
end

Should automatically silence the /dump shit. Also lets you use EL("lua stuff here") in macros to avoid the loadstring() length, and also CSBN("Smite") to do CastSpellByName. (Just use EL("CSBN("Smite")") for example)

/run EL("CSBN(\"Smite\")")

^ Should cast Smite. You guys may want to test it.

[Comedian]

It is possible to make a similar macro with use /dump ?

#showtooltip Spell Reflect
/stopcasting
/equipslot 16 "Mainhend"
/equipslot 17 "Shield"
/cast [stance:3] Deff Stance
/cast [stance:1/2] Spell Reflect

Whether with use /dump spell Spell Reflect will be used with pressing of the button of 1 times

[Aeron`]

Apoc made me thinking but his idea isn't possible yet.

Addons are unsigned and everything you do with it makes it unsigned. They only way to execute protected commands are by use of a macro and /dump. Scripts can't run RunMacroText() because it's protected.
