Minutes until Full Mana

EQBot_man · Post by **EQBot_man** » Mon Aug 02, 2004 4:20 pm

This is just some math I worked out that might be of interest. Maybe put it into a custom UI or something or just put it into a small 1KB macro and punch it everytime you want to know how long its going to take for you to reach full mana. Nothing big but pretty helpful to me a lot of times:

My code wasn't that good. This code is from "Some Guy" below that I've just copied and pasted here so that when a random person reads this post 2 months from now they won't have to search the thread for the best one. Use this:

Code: Select all

/echo ${Int[${Math.Calc[(${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana})/${If[${Me.ManaRegen}>0,${Me.ManaRegen},1]}/10]}]}m ${Int[${Math.Calc[(${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana})/${If[${Me.ManaRegen}>0,${Me.ManaRegen},1]}%10*6]}]}s

i did this in the Frequency UI thread. except i only used seconds, the m/s labels take up too much space :)

Isn't nesting so fun :)

I get a divide by 0 if no mana. So

/if [(${Me.PctMana}!=0) ${Int[${Math.Calc[((${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana})/${Me.ManaRegen})/10]}]}m${Int[${Math.Calc[(${Math.Calc[${Math.Calc[((${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana})/${Me.ManaRegen})/10]}-${Int[${Math.Calc[((${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana})/${Me.ManaRegen})/10]}]}]})*60]}]}s]

That right?

sadly, that probably still wont work. for some freakish reason MQ evaluates things even when it shouldnt. you have to put a ${If[]} around the divisor.

There is a 6 second time from when you get rezed until you get your first tick of mana that you are 0m, and more like 2 seconds by the time you zone and the world pops around you. Just don't use it during those 2 long seconds. I know its tempting. But if you really can't wait I guess this would work:

Untested, but I'm sure its correct:

Code: Select all

/if (!${Me.CurrentMana}==0) /echo ${Int[${Math.Calc[((${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana})/${Me.ManaRegen})/10]}]}m${Int[${Math.Calc[(${Math.Calc[${Math.Calc[((${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana})/${Me.ManaRegen})/10]}-${Int[${Math.Calc[((${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana})/${Me.ManaRegen})/10]}]}]})*60]}]}s

heh, its in my UI, i dont get an option of when to not use it.

a) that still wont work, the divide by zero happens even if the /if fails
b) "/if (!A==0)" can be replaced with "/if (A)"

Math's not my specialty, but it seems to me that a few well-placed |1 should fix your problem, at the possible cost of pretending you have 1 mana or 1 regen at the time. No?

Code: Select all

${Int[${Math.Calc[(${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana})/${If[${Me.ManaRegen}>0,${Me.ManaRegen},1]}/10]}]}m ${Int[${Math.Calc[(${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana})/${If[${Me.ManaRegen}>0,${Me.ManaRegen},1]}%10*6]}]}s

Code: Select all

${Int[${Math.Calc[(${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana})/(${Me.ManaRegen}|1)/10]}]}m ${Int[${Math.Calc[(${Me.MaxMana}-${Me.CurrentMana})/(${Me.ManaRegen}|1)%10*6]}]}s

|1 is a bit less bloaty than an extra If and the required extra variable specification...but that works too.

|1 will turn 0 into 1, but it will also turn 2 into 3, 4 into 5, 6 into 7.

X | 1 == X + !(X%2)

o.O

Told you math wasn't my specialty. :) Makes sense though, now that I think about it...I'm so used to using conditional || that I assumed a bitwise or would work, without really pondering what it did.

*hangs head in shame*
