Hello !

First of all I want to thank you for the private server version of the bot !

I've got a dilemma. I'm trying to get Void Tendrils to work with my FightClass. The way i want it to work is to cast the spell and then take a few steps back to get out of the mob's range.  I've searched around a little and found one of your posts that said something like this:

wManager.Wow.Helpers.Keybindings.DownKeybindings(Keybindings.MOVEBACKWARD);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2500);
wManager.Wow.Helpers.Keybindings.UpKeybindings(Keybindings.MOVEBACKWARD);

The thing is , it doesn't work in a fight class(done with the editor). I might need to check out the C# code for it.

I looked at the lua API for movement and it looks easy at first , 'till you get to the delay part , where you have to write a function for it. So i think it is even harder this way.

Second thing is that tendrils don't show up as a buff for the target , they are objects with hp  so i have no idea how to check of them .

I'll keep messing around to see if i can get it to work.

Any input would be appreciated !

Thanks in advance!

 

Hello,

You can use this lua code (put it in spell name and activate spell option "Not spell, is lua script"):

local name = GetSpellInfo(108920);
RunMacroText("/cast " .. name);
MoveBackwardStart()
C_Timer.After(2, function() MoveBackwardStop() end)

API: http://wow.gamepedia.com/API_C_Timer.After (replace 2 by the number of second), http://wow.gamepedia.com/API_MoveBackwardStart, http://wow.gamepedia.com/API_MoveBackwardStop, http://wrobot.eu/forums/topic/1688-lua-and-multi-language-support/

Thank you for the answer !

I know about C_Timer.After() function , the only problem with it is that it was introduced in patch 6.0.2 and I'm running 5.4.8. I've tried to build my own wait function , but that only freezes my game.

The only way i found little bit efficient is to do a lua like :

CastSpellByName("Void Tendrils");MoveBackwardStart();

---make a function that does something with a defined number of steps --

MoveBackwardStop();

i noticed it doesn't freeze the game and it goes back a little , not as much as i would want it but it gets out of the range of some mobs.

It might not work for everyone , because it's a system dependent thing ( my computer is very old so it goes trough the code slower that for others).

 

For people running warlords of draenor ... C_Timer.After() is the way to go !

I'm messing around with register events right now ... I'll let you know if i find a better way!

Thanks for the answer again !

All the best!

 

 

I have found this: http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Wait

Result:

local waitTable = {};
local waitFrame = nil;

function WaitToCall(delay, func, ...)
  if(type(delay)~="number" or type(func)~="function") then
    return false;
  end
  if(waitFrame == nil) then
    waitFrame = CreateFrame("Frame","WaitFrame", UIParent);
    waitFrame:SetScript("onUpdate",function (self,elapse)
      local count = #waitTable;
      local i = 1;
      while(i<=count) do
        local waitRecord = tremove(waitTable,i);
        local d = tremove(waitRecord,1);
        local f = tremove(waitRecord,1);
        local p = tremove(waitRecord,1);
        if(d>elapse) then
          tinsert(waitTable,i,{d-elapse,f,p});
          i = i + 1;
        else
          count = count - 1;
          f(unpack(p));
        end
      end
    end);
  end
  tinsert(waitTable,{delay,func,{...}});
  return true;
end

local name = GetSpellInfo(108920);
RunMacroText("/cast " .. name);
MoveBackwardStart()
WaitToCall(2, function() MoveBackwardStop() end)

This seem to work on MoP.

Thanks a lot for the help ! The script does work , i found out that the one i had worked as well. It still doesn't do what i wanted it to do because of one small detail .

The lua script runs inside the game space while the bot runs in his own space ... so that means the bot doesn't know i'm waiting for a script to execute in game and continues casting spells . Casting the next spell in the rotation stops the character.

I tried adding "Me in Move" condition to every spell in the fight class and it still stops the movement. So i was looking at it the wrong way from the start. The only solution  that i could see working is to build a plugin that moves the character back when the spell is cast. I saw that there is a plugin for movement if fights . I'll see what bits i can use from that and build my own .

Thank you again for the help . I'll let you know when i have something that works.

All the best!

 

Check if de debuff exists Void Tendrils. If it exists, while your distance to the target smaller than x, don't cast any spell.

Hmm... now to get this same thing work with warrior tank...
