if you are casting "this is broken" is always returned.

changing it to ${Bool[${Me.Casting}]} works but still! what the!

No shit asswipe.
The reason is ${Me.Casting} is not numeric:

(spawn)
...spell Casting: Spell, if currently casting
(spell)
- To String: Same as Name

So if you're casting "Spirit of Wolf", /newif sees this:

Code: Select all

/newif Spirit of Wolf==NULL {
/echo I'm not casting
} else /newif Spirit of Wolf!=NULL {
/echo I am casting, and I'm also dumb for doing an if on the false branch that checks if the false branch should be executed!
}
else
{
/echo this is broken
}

Note that /newif Spirit of Wolf==NULL isnt a valid numeric comparison... how do you quantify Spirit of Wolf? Use /newif ${Me.Casting.ID}

The reason it seems broken is because /newif currently doesnt give an error message or stop your macro on parsing errors. I'll make it do so again.

/newif in the future will end the macro, and will give a message like this:

Failed to parse /newif condition 'Spirit of Wolf==NULL', non-numeric encountered
