how to cancel buffs?

xdrakonisx · Post by **xdrakonisx** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 3:55 am

I'm writing a macro for my necro, and I'm looking for a way to end a current buff (namely, Seduction of Saryrn). Currently the "ghetto" fix I've been using for it is to recast the buff, and duck during the cast, since it will cancel itsself on re-casting the buff. However this doesn't work while riding a mount, although I suppose I could write a /dismount into the script too...still really ghetto fix.. definitely not very universal in possibilities.

I thought about sending a left click to the buffs window, but since I can't guarantee that buff will always land in the same spot, I could end up clicking off useful buffs (conviction etc) and still have the lich spell on.

Basically I'm wanting this for those times when I'm not watching necro's health, or afk reading the internet and still standing around in lich form, so that he doesn't lich to death.

I edited the wiki to show what my current guess is for how this should work, here is the link to the page: [[Notify]]

I can post the code for my macro on request, if necessary. Thanks in advance for help.

Code: Select all

 /if (${Me.Buff[Divine Barrier].ID}) /notify BuffWindow Buff${Math.Calc[${Me.Buff[Divine Barrier].ID}-1].Int} leftmouseup

This is a piece of code from autoenc.mac, which is what I've used to click off buffs when needed.

Code: Select all

Sub ClickOffBuff(string buffName) 
   /declare i int local 
   /for i 1 to 20 
      /if ( ${Me.Buff[${i}].Name.Equal[${buffName}]} ) /notify BuffWindow buff${Math.Calc[${i}-1].Int} leftmouseup 
   /next i 
/return

I think i got something wrong as I cannot make this thing to work.

My line looks like this -

Code: Select all

/if (${Me.Buff[Aura of Taelosia].ID}) /notify BuffWindow Buff${Math.Calc[${Me.Buff[Aura of Taelosia].ID}-1].Int} leftmouseup

any idea?

I guess it because of the menu added when you click on spells, but in that case I got no lcue how to click off buffs inside a macro (not a plug-in)

Here's something you could look into: Check if Aura is in the Buff window or Song window or Short Buff window and revise accordingly.

it goes into the regular buff window not the short duration / songs window

Well if you dont have the buff window open you might end up in a dead loop

this is problems with removing buff with method suggested

But this should avoid a loop should it not?

Code: Select all

/if ( ${Window[BuffWindow].Open} && ${Me.Buff[${i}].Name.Equal[${buffName}]} ) /notify BuffWindow buff${Math.Calc[${i}-1].Int} leftmouseup

I may not have my ${Window} part correct (not sure what the buff window is called), but something along those lines should work or stop a loop.
