/declare swif string outer swift like the wind
   /declare che string outer scaled avatar's hauberk
/if (!${Pet.Buff[${swif}].ID}) /call cast "${che}" item

I am trying to check to see if my pet has haste and if he doesnt use the item scaled avatar's hauberk, which casts haste. RIght now it will cast the item over and over on my pet. is this the wrong code? also how do i target my pet? /target npc ${me.pet}

? any help thanks....

I have a similar code and it works:

Code: Select all

   /declare swif string outer
   /declare che string outer
   /varset swif "swift like the wind"
   /varset che "scaled avatar's hauberk"
   /if (!${Pet.Buff[${swif}].ID}) /call cast ${che} item

To target your pet, this is a way (not the only one):

Code: Select all

   /target id {Me.Pet.ID}

Along the lines of Falco's code, try the change below:

Code: Select all

/declare swif string outer [color=cyan]"swift like the wind"[/color]
   /declare che string outer [color=cyan]"scaled avatar's hauberk"[/color]
/if (!${Pet.Buff[${swif}].ID}) /call cast "${che}" item

I think if you put in quote a string you should not quote it again when passing it to a sub. I mean, if you use

Code: Select all

/declare che string outer "scaled avatar's hauberk"

you should NOT use the quote around ${che}

Code: Select all

/call cast [color=red]"[/color]${che}[color=red]"[/color] item

else you will pass to the sub: ""scaled avatar's hauberk"" (double quotes) resulting in an error.

er...

Actually... I think in the case where ${che} is use, it would need the "" around it.

I have nevcer tested this but with:

Code: Select all

Sub Main
   /declare che string outer scaled avatar's hauberk
   /echo ${che}
/return

I wonder what the echo is...

scaled

or

scaled avatar's hauberk

Besides returned if a pet has a buff.... possible to get a timer on it?

I don't want a slot timer, just a search for a certain buff, and if it's there return a timer on it (If possible)

I was playing with this last night with your plugin Wassup and it would echo as: scaled avatar's hauberk. Putting something in quotes on the declare line would add the quotes as part of the string. ie

Code: Select all

/declare che string outer "scaled avatar's hauberk"
/echo "${che}"

would echo: ""Scaled avatar's hauberk""

It will echo the correct item. Everything works except for my if statment. Something is wrong where even after the pet receives the buff swift like the wind I will contue to cast over and over on it

Does it still work if you try hardcoding the buff name into the if statement? It shouldn't change anything with the way the parser works but I've known other wierd things to happen with stuff. ie

Code: Select all

/if (!${Pet.Buff[Swift like the Wind].ID}) /call cast "${che}" item

I can't get MQ to return anything on my pet buffs:

/echo ${Pet.Buff.[1]}
/echo ${Pet.Buff.[1].Name}
/echo ${Pet.Buff.[1].Duration.TimeHMS}

these all returned NULL

Strangely enough when I tried

/echo ${Me.Buff.[1].Duration.TimeHMS}

it still returned NULL, but that's the same code I have in my UI file and it works fine. (without the /echo of course)

You are using too many ".":

Code: Select all

/echo ${Pet.Buff[color=cyan].[/color][1]}
/echo ${Pet.Buff[color=cyan].[/color][1].Name}
/echo ${Pet.Buff[color=cyan].[/color][1].Duration.TimeHMS}

it should be

Code: Select all

/echo ${Pet.Buff[1]}
/echo ${Pet.Buff[1].Name}
/echo ${Pet.Buff[1].Duration.TimeHMS}

without the "." between Buff and []

Are these all supposed to return NULL?

I'm have trouble still now that I've acctaully tried them. Got the self buff stuff, but nothign with pet buffs....

For sure

Code: Select all

/echo ${Pet.Buff[1].Duration.TimeHMS}

will always return NULL, cause client do not know the duration of pet buffs, it is only server side.
For the other two, I have never tested them, I usually only use:

Code: Select all

/if (${Pet.Buff["Buff Name"].ID}<=0} {

to see if the buff is still on or not.
