Another timer question for my mage macro heh

I read the timer questions in this thread to try and make sense of it, but I'm just not getting it to apply to my macro well. Right now my macro works perfect for what i want if I comment out the Sub ManaCheck...

Code: Select all

Sub ManaCheck 
  /if (${Me.PctMana}<=88) {
  /call cast "Rod of Mystical Transvergance" item
  } 
/return
and the Sub Event_Timer...

Code: Select all

Sub Event_Timer
  /if (${tmrName.Equal["Rodtimer"]}) {
but I can't figure out how to complete these two bits of code or combine them to one if that would be better. Here is my full macro for it to make more sense...

Code: Select all

#Event exp "#*#experience!!#*#"    
#Event rageon "#*#has become ENRAGED#*#" 
#Event rageoff "#*#is no longer enraged#*#" 
#Event burn "#*#burnout V spell has worn off#*#" 
#Event nuke1 "#*#Nuke 1#*#" 
#Event nuke2 "#*#Nuke 2#*#"
#Event nuke3 "#*#Nuke 3#*#"

Basically what I'm shooting for is if I drop below 88%, (or whatever I decide), to use the mod rod then start a 5 minute timer so I dont get spammed with rod can not be used at this time or whatever lame message you get if the 5 minute reuse timer is not up yet. Make sense? I know I'm prolly making this confusing hehe. Some of this I came up with on my own and some I grabbed from here and there on the boards here. I have never used a timer ever in my easier macros so I can't seem to figure this out heh.

Any help filling in the blanks would be much much appreciated!!

When I get the timer part worked out I'm gonna add in another variable that will recast a new rod when the first one is gone, but for now I'd like to get this part working heh. Thanks for any hlep again!

(disclaimer)
This is NOT and afk macro and should NOT be used as such. I have it cause I like to chat with my buddies in our channel and I slack badly when I'm not paying full attention to the game. I'm always right infront of my screen when using this just incase things go crazy in my group. That is why there is no gate and end macro type subs in this.

Try this:

Code: Select all

Sub ManaCheck 
  /if (${Me.PctMana}<=88) { 
      /call cast "Rod of Mystical Transvergance" item
      [color=red]/varset Rodtimer 5m[/color]
  } 
/return
and this:

Code: Select all

Sub Event_Timer[color=red](tmrName)[/color] 
  /if (${tmrName.Equal["Rodtimer"]}) {[color=red]
      /call cast "Rod of Mystical Transvergance" item
      /varset Rodtimer 5m
  }
/return [/color]

Try this:

Code: Select all

Sub ManaCheck
  /if (${Me.PctMana}<=88 && ${Rodtimer}<=0) {
    /call cast "Rod of Mystical Transvergance" item
    /if (${Macro.Return.Equal["CAST_SUCCESS"]}) {
      /varset Rodtimer 3200
    }
  }
/return
You do not really need an event_timer to do this, you can check for it everytime you call ManaCheck.

with yours I'd get rid of the timer sub all together and just keep the manacheck sub right falco? also is my declare statement right at the top of the macro?

Sorry I edited my last post just while you was posting your reply.
You only need to declare it and leave it to zero. You will set it to 5 minutes (I prefer 3000 micro secs plus 200 for lag) first time you use it.

What I would do in your situation is remove the initial "/varset RodTimer 5m" because thats what actually starts the timer. You should only start the timer either just before or just after you use the Rod.

Next, in one of the following, you need to do a check to see if the timer <= 0. I'd put it in the place you /call ChackMana Sub (personally preferred with your code to skip any other checks), somewhere in the actual CheckMana Sub, or at the place you actually do the casting.

option 1

Code: Select all

/if (${RodTimer}<=0) /call CheckMana
option 2

Code: Select all

Sub ManaCheck 
  /if (${Me.PctMana}<=88 && ${RodTimer}<=0) { 
     /call cast "Rod of Mystical Transvergance" item 
     /varset RodTimer 5m
  } 
/return
option 3

Code: Select all

Sub ManaCheck 
  /if (${Me.PctMana}<=88) { 
    /if (${RodTimer}<=0) {
      /call cast "Rod of Mystical Transvergance" item 
      /varset RodTimer 5m
    }
  } 
/return

take your pick of whichever one you feel most comfortable with.


As far as the Event_Timer Sub, it shouldn't be necessary with using the above changes, but if you really want it, I'd do something like this instead (assuming your castspell function isn't returning an error)...

Code: Select all

#event NeedMoreTime "whatever the delay message is"
Sub Event_NeedMoreTime
    /if (${RodTimer}<=0) /varset RodTimer 5s
    |makes it check only every 5s to cast the rod instead of spamming every cycle.
/return
