Question about Buff durations

[AngelDrago]

Hello, Everyone

I have a question about buff/debuffs durations in a WP let say i would use MAGE_ELECTROSTATIC_CHARGE and has a duration of 1 minute and i want it to cast again... but i have a few seconds to go is their a check and a wait command that i need to add in my WP. thx for the help

I'm not sure what you are talking about with waypoints but you can set the buff to be reapplied early by adding

Code: Select all

rebuffcut="10"

to the skill in your profile. That example would cast it even if there are still 10s left.

thx... for the input... here is what i'm trying to do...

Code: Select all

 <!-- WAYPOINT USE PREMIDITATION BEFORE BOSS -->
	 <!-- #  8 -->	<waypoint x="-192" z="-1041" y="1254"> player:cast("MAGE_ELECTROSTATIC_CHARGE") RoMScript("SetTitleRequest(530724)"); Countround() Acountround() yrest(300) </waypoint>
         <!-- WAYPOINT AFTER BOSS -->

once i'm near the boss i wanted to recast MAGE_ELECTROSTATIC_CHARGE but if it already cast it will fail so i was wondering if that was a check if it still active or in a cooldown.

Ah, so you want to wait for the cooldown?

To see if it's active you can just check the buff

Code: Select all

if player:hasBuff("Electrostatic Charge") then

If you want to know how much time is left on the buff you would need to do a "player:getBuff(buffname)" instead.

Code: Select all

local buff = player:getBuff("Electrostatic Charge")
if buff and 15 > buff.TimeLeft then

There is a function for returning the remaining cooldown but you have to find the skill first.

Code: Select all

for k,v in pairs(settings.profile.skills) do
    if v.Name=="MAGE_ELECTROSTATIC_CHARGE" then
        local timeleft = v:getRemainingCooldown()
        if timeleft > 0 then yrest(timeleft*1000) -- wait for the cooldown to end
        break
    end
end

I don't know exactly how you want it to run but hopefully that will give you enough information to work it out.
