One issue I've run into a couple times that I'm thinking of working around is healing people who are DA, Charmed, or otherwise in a state that doesn't allow me to heal them.
So what I'm thinking of doing is setting an int that gets set to Target.PctHPs before I fire the heal, and then compares my Target.PctHPs after the heal lands to see if it managed to heal them at all. If my Target. PctHPs is >= the HPs when I started the heal, I guess I'll call it good. I thought about just making it == to the target's Starting HPs, but those pesky clerics and their heal over time spells are going to screw it up.
Has anyone else made a decent workaround for this? I'm not seeing anything in the popular healing macs out there.
The only issue I can see coming up with the way I've currently envisioned it is if someone manages to take enough damage that my heal doesn't put them over the PctHPs I set when the heal started. It would be a rare occurance to be sure, but one I'm worried about. I suppose I could periodically evaluate their HPs agains the original value and if they start decreasing set the Timer to 0 or something.

Here's what I've come up with so far. It's probably more complicated than it needs to be, but it's just crazy enough that it might work. Take a look at the logic and let me know if it looks sound to you guys.
Basically what it does is sets StartHPs before the heal is cast, then evaluates the target's HPs after the cast against the StartHPs. If their HPs are equal to or less than 5% higher than when I started to heal, it will set their DA flag in the array to 1, and record their StartHPs value. The heal logic will evaluate this DA flag before it casts the next heal.
The next time it goes through the loop, it evaluate's that person's HPs against StartHPs again, and if it's 5% higher or less than the stored StartHPs value, it sets their flag to 0.

Code: Select all
/declare i int local
/declare DAArray[6,2] int outer
/declare StartHPs int local
/for i 0 to ${Group}
/if (${DAArray[${i},2]}==1 && (${GroupMember[${i}].PctHPs}>=${Math.Calc[${DAArray[${i},1]}+5]} || ${GroupMember[${i}].PctHPs}<${DAArray[${i},1]}) {
/varset DAArray[${i},1] 0
/varset DAArray[${i},2] 0
}
Decision to heal goes here, checking the DA Flag set in DAArray[${i},2]. If the flag returns true, it goes to the next member. If false it then sets the StartHPs to that groupmember's HPs.

/if (${GroupMember[${i}].PctHPs}<${Math.Calc[${StartHPs}+5]} && ${GroupMember[${i}].PctHPs}>=${StartHPs}) {
/varset DAArray[${i},1] ${StartHPs}
/varset DAArray[${i},2] 1
}
