NoFizzleCast - My Favorite

[ionsf]

I got this from pethunter. I think necrofarm was the first one with it..
Mad Props to Scrime, Grimjack & Mixy. Not sure which one made it originally. I'll find out and edit post if I get time.

I use this all the time.
Declare Variable.

Code: Select all

/declare FizzleFlag global 

The actual *snippet* of code.

Code: Select all

Sub NoFizzleCast 
   | make sure we dont get passed a null spell name 
   /if "@Param0"!="" { 
:NoFizzleCastStart 
      /varset FizzleFlag 0 
      /if "$char(state)"!="STAND" /stand 
      | check to make sure we have mana to cast this spell 
      /if n $char(mana,cur)<$spell("@Param0",mana) /call MedUp 
      
      /cast "@Param0" 
      /doevents Fizzle 
      
      | if we fizzled, try to cast again 
      /if n @FizzleFlag==1 /goto :NoFizzleCastStart 
   } 
/return

This is exactly why I thought this would be a good idea for a new forum. I never thought to do pre-casting this way before:

Code: Select all

| check to make sure we have mana to cast this spell
      /if n $char(mana,cur)<$spell("@Param0",mana) /call MedUp

I'll have to add this to my SpellCast.inc. :) Thanks!

My SpellCast.inc is quite extensive....trying to make it all-inclusive for any class/situation. Once I'm satisfied with the results, I'll be posting it here.

Right on. Glad I was useful.


Here is the medup sub that goes with it.

Code: Select all

Sub MedUp 
:MedStart 
     /if "$char(state)"=="STAND" /sit 
     /delay 3m
     /if n $char(mana,cur)<70 /goto :MedStart 
     /if "$char(state)"!="STAND" /stand 
/return

Instead of

/if "$char(state)"=="STAND" /sit

you can just use /sit on and /sit off. /sit by itself is a sit/stand toggle, but specifying on or off causes it to behave the way you want.

[ml2517]

Actually.. /sit on and /sit off doesn't work properly on bards because of the ability to sit and play a song. On bards if you did a /sit on and then another /sit on it would sit you down then stand you up. I'd stick with your current method (Even though it probably has no bearing on this script).

[Preocts]

/if "$char(state)"=="STAND" /sit

For some reason looked right over this flag in the manual. Makes things a lot smoother for my current macros with foraging, fishing, and what-nots.

From my experience with a druid: /sit, /sit on are both toggles. /sit off will stand you up but not sit you down. Unreliable from all my experience. Could be a client side issue because I've heard different reports from different people.


Very nice snippet, nabbed some nice ideas from it and now have a good combo for ldon groups. Stoopid damage shields always fizzling. I'll have to post it once I get the foraging and looting code ironed out.

edit: stoopid typos. ::sighs and looks for more coffee::

[Mckorr]

Eh, my few macros tend to be simple enough that I can use /sit on|off without problems. I'll have to see how /sit on behaves though. We might want to intercept it and put in our own version so it behaves correctly, i.e. /sit on will not make you stand up if you are already sitting, just won't do anything.

I'm using this for my sit code:

Code: Select all

   /if $char(mounted)!=TRUE /if $char(state)!="SIT" /sit

And this for my stand code:

Code: Select all

   /if $char(mounted)!=TRUE /if $char(state)!="STAND" /stand

Seems to work for me.

Thanks for this - it is simple yet elegant.

Using this for my shaman i added in a area to the med sub to canni, for all your buff wench needs:


Sub MedUp
:MedStart
/if $char(mounted)!=TRUE /if $char(state)!="SIT" /sit
/delay 3s
/if n $char(hp,pct)<40 /call Quies
/if n $char(hp,pct)>40 /if n $char(mana,pct)<70 /call Canni
/if n $char(mana,cur)<70 /goto :MedStart
/if "$char(state)"!="STAND" /stand
/return


Sub Canni
/if $char(mounted)!=TRUE /if $char(state)!="STAND" /stand
/call NoFizzleCast "Cannibalize IV"
/delay 4.5s
/return


Sub Quies
/if $char(mounted)!=TRUE /if $char(state)!="STAND" /stand
/press Tab
/delay .5s
/call NoFizzleCast "Quiescence"
/delay 4.5s
/press esc
/return
