Looking for auto-interupt macro on any friendly target's target.

[Ssateneth]

Basically, I'm looking for a spammable macro that will look at everyone's target in your party (and eventually raid) and evaluate if they are casting/channeling an interruptable spell. This is including protected functions preferably. Easy rep if you're looking to rep farm and you know how to make macros.

I tried writing my own, but something is conflicting or doesn't like me. I was able to get a successful auto-interrupt macro on my own target and my focus's target by using the following...

/run i={UnitCastingInfo('target')} if i[9]==false and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","target") and GetSpellCooldown("Wind Shear")==0 and not UnitBuff("target","Shield of Lights") and not UnitBuff("target","Shield of Darkness") then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear") end
/run i={UnitChannelInfo('target')} if i[8]==false and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","target") and GetSpellCooldown("Wind Shear")==0 then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear") end
/run i={UnitCastingInfo('focustarget')} if i[9]==false and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","focustarget") and GetSpellCooldown("Wind Shear")==0 and not UnitBuff("focustarget","Shield of Lights") and not UnitBuff("focustarget","Shield of Darkness") then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear","focustarget") end
/run i={UnitChannelInfo('focustarget')} if i[8]==false and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","focustarget") and GetSpellCooldown("Wind Shear")==0 then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear","focustarget) end

But when I add on these, it's pretty hit and miss. I see wind shear going off once in a while, but recount doesn't report a successful interupt.

/run i={UnitCastingInfo('party1target')} if i[9]==false and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","party1target") and GetSpellCooldown("Wind Shear")==0 then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear","party1target") end

/run i={UnitChannelInfo('party1target')} if i[8]==false and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","party1target") and GetSpellCooldown("Wind Shear")==0 then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear","party1target") end

/run i={UnitCastingInfo('party2target')} if i[9]==false and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","party2target") and GetSpellCooldown("Wind Shear")==0 then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear","party2target") end

/run i={UnitChannelInfo('party2target')} if i[8]==false and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","party2target") and GetSpellCooldown("Wind Shear")==0 then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear","party2target") end

/run i={UnitCastingInfo('party3target')} if i[9]==false and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","party3target") and GetSpellCooldown("Wind Shear")==0 then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear","party3target") end

/run i={UnitChannelInfo('party3target')} if i[8]==false and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","party3target") and GetSpellCooldown("Wind Shear")==0 then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear","party3target") end

/run i={UnitCastingInfo('party4target')} if i[9]==false and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","party4target") and GetSpellCooldown("Wind Shear")==0 then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear","party4target") end

/run i={UnitChannelInfo('party4target')} if i[8]==false and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","party4target") and GetSpellCooldown("Wind Shear")==0 then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear","party4target") end

Any help here?

e: I added ==1 after IsSpellInRange checks. Still acts funny thgouh.

I'll give the example for target, you should change it yourself for other units.

/run local u,i=UnitCastingInfo;i=select(9,u"target")if u"target"and not i and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","target")==1 then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear","target")end

Well.. +rep for effort. I haven't tested it yet, but part of the dealbreaker is I'm still new-ish to lua, so I have a hard time 'reading' your macros, in case I need to add or change something. No clue whats going on with the select(9 and the i between if and u"target". I know you like to have super short macros, but length isn't entirely a concern, as long as it fits in SuperDuperMacro. I abbreviate some functions obviously, like CastSpellByName to reduce some clutter, mind, but some of your shortcuts are hard to follow

There was a little error in my previous macro, I edited it out.

select(n, arg1, arg2, arg3, ...) selects the nth argument from the arguments that follow after n. so select(3, 4, 5, 1, 9, 0, 3) will return 1.

Here is my macro without shortcuts:

/run local uninterruptable = select(9,UnitCastingInfo("target")); if UnitCastingInfo("target") and not uninterruptable and IsSpellInRange("Wind Shear","target")==1 then CastSpellByName("Wind Shear","target") end

Ahhhhhh, I get the select now. It's like what I do as far as storing a local variable with a table such as a={GetCastingInfo("target")} print(a[9])

Yup, but select is less memory intensive

So that explains why my frames per second go down after a while (usually from 90 to about 30). I think I'll alter all my macros that use tables to use select (unless where necessary)

edit: Then again, after seeing my memory usage go down after a minute after spamming the macro (which causes usage to go up about 500KB/sec), it might be something else, since a logoff and logon usually fixes the FPS issue. example, I sit at 64MB usage, spam for a while to 75MB, stop, it sits at 75 for a while then drops back down to 64, as if it does a cleanup.

It does a cleanup, that's the default Lua memory garbage collecter. You can make the memory usage go down immediately by manually activating the garbage collector:

/run collectgarbage"collect"
