Q: How to check target's (de)buff name?

[kkulesza]

This code works:

Code: Select all

player:target(obj.Address);
player:update();
target = player:getTarget();
if target:hasBuff("xxx") then
...

but this does not:

Code: Select all

player:target(obj.Address);
player:update();
target = player:getTarget();
target:updateBuffs();
debuffName=target.Buffs[1].Name
if debuffName=="xxx" then
...

I want to get the name of target's first debuff

As far as I can tell, that should work. hasBuff() and the buffs array may contain slightly different information for the name. Try printing the name out and see how it matches up against what you are comparing it to. It could be something as simple as 'Seal of Light' verse 'Seal of Light III'.

you probably arn't doing it right, try this

Code: Select all

player:update() target = player:getTarget() print(target.Buffs[1].Name)

Lizard Blood

Or like admin said you just have the name wrong.

It's not about mismatched string. It's about an error.
Example A. working code:

Code: Select all

player:target(obj.Address);
		player:update();
		target = player:getTarget();
		target:updateBuffs();
		--print(target.Buffs[1].Name)
		if target:hasBuff("Lizard Blood") then

Examplel B. works until "target.Buffs[1].Name" line:

Code: Select all

player:target(obj.Address);
		player:update();
		target = player:getTarget();
		target:updateBuffs();
		print(target.Buffs[1].Name)
		if target:hasBuff("Lizard Blood") then

Error code from mm window:

Code: Select all

Lizard Blood
Did not find any crashed game clients.
3:48pm - [string "..."]:76: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

I don't know what it means.

Means there is no first buff so no Name. Try

Code: Select all

if target.Buffs[1] then
print(target.Buffs[1].Name)
else
print("No Buffs")
end

[kkulesza]

Means there is no first buff so no Name. Try

Code: Select all

if target.Buffs[1] then
print(target.Buffs[1].Name)
else
print("No Buffs")
end

hmmm
but it did print the buff name
it's in the first line in code from mm window

I can't understand how it errored on that line but still managed to print the name. Maybe the error was from something else.

[kkulesza]

Code: Select all

if target.Buffs[1] then
print(target.Buffs[1].Name)
else
print("No Buffs")
end

ok i did try this code and it works. Now i see where i was wrong.

My code was in a loop. So First time there was a buff and it did print it, but next time there was no buff and there was error.

Thx for help
