Plazmic - Timer help please

Plazmic,
You posted this code in one of the other threads as a way to handle timing multiple buffs. Pseudo-code:
Code:

/declare BuffTimer0 timer 
/declare BuffTimer1 timer 
/declare BuffTimer2 timer 
/declare BuffTimer3 timer 
/declare BuffTimer4 timer 
/declare BuffTimer5 timer 
/declare BuffIndex local 

/for BuffIndex 0 to 5 
   /if n @BuffTimer@BuffIndex==0 /call rebuff @BuffIndex 
/next BuffIndex

This seems like it will work ok for the check but how can we set the timers?
I tried:

Code: Select all


/declare BuffTimer0 timer 
/declare BuffTimer1 timer 
/declare BuffTimer2 timer 
/declare BuffTimer3 timer 
/declare BuffTimer4 timer 
/declare BuffTimer5 timer 
/declare BuffIndex local 

/varset BuffIndex  1

/varset BuffTimer@BuffIndex $spell("@BuffName",duration)s

But it errors me out with "bad variable in /var function on the line setting the timer. Is there a way to set variable timers like this?

I'm not sure if it's fixed yet but /for had a prob with variables that where not all lower case.

Try

Code: Select all

/declare BuffTimer0 timer
/declare BuffTimer1 timer
/declare BuffTimer2 timer
/declare BuffTimer3 timer
/declare BuffTimer4 timer
/declare BuffTimer5 timer 
/declare buffindex local 

/for buffindex 0 to 5
   /if n @BuffTimer@BuffIndex==0 /call rebuff @BuffIndex
/next BuffIndex

Thanks

The problem isn't the /for loop it's in starting the timers right now the only way I see to do it is:

Code: Select all

/if n @BuffIndex==1 /varset BuffTimer1 $spell("@BuffName",duration)s 
/if n @BuffIndex==2 /varset BuffTimer2 $spell("@BuffName",duration)s
/if n @BuffIndex==3 /varset BuffTimer3 $spell("@BuffName",duration)s 
/if n @BuffIndex==4 /varset BuffTimer4 $spell("@BuffName",duration)s
/if n @BuffIndex==5 /varset BuffTimer5 $spell("@BuffName",duration)s
