Could someone give me the lua edit to make my own messages into sct. For example fient has landed / missed. Im sure this is fairly easy i just havent played with sct's lua before and although i rarely fient its nice to know it atleast landed. Thanks in advance for your help.

the problem there is there are so many non sense posts and also people posting scripts which just dont work. Where as im sure someone who sees this can open their addon folder and copy and paste me the 2-3 lines of text i need. Sry guess im just lazy

Hey man, if I were home, I'd save you the trouble and do it myself. The only SCT modifications I made were for "feint FAILED" and "feint SUCCESSFUL". Everything else is just fluff IMO. If this post is still around this evening, and you want those messages, I'll dig 'em out of my .lua file for you.

Also, in my short time here, I've found the "I'm just lazy" excuse doesn't go over very well. These aren't the WoW boards, and these guys don't look kindly on haphazard questions that have been answered countless times before.

Just tryin to help.

Just open the .lua file and see how easy it is. There's even a step by step instruction on how to make your own custom events.

Grimmlokk · 07/21/06, 5:29 PM

sct_event_config.lua is the file you are looking for. Just open it with notepad or some such. Basically you're gonna add a line like this...

[12]

[top] {name

"Feint Missed!", search="Your feint missed", r=128/256, g=128/256, b=256/256, iscrit=1},

The "Your feint missed" part tells it what to look for. May need to add multiple lines for dodge/parry. Just make sure it's the exact text you'd get in game.

Pyros · 07/21/06, 5:33 PM

Just use Your feint as the catch, it'll get Your feint missed/has been dodged/parried. When you sucessfull feint, it says somethine like You cast feint on ...
You can add a line for sucessful casts, but I found adding too much info to sct annoying, so I only had the misses, if I wasn't getting failed message I assumed it landed.

Grimmlokk · 07/21/06, 5:34 PM

Yeah that should work=) Been meaning to add feint misses for months and just never have. Thanks=)

probiscus · 07/21/06, 5:35 PM

Well, if you're going to be minimalist, you only need (1) line if you choose to do the "feint landed" route - where as you need a few more for parried, dodged, missed feints.

Grimmlokk · 07/21/06, 5:37 PM

No that was his point. Every miss starts with "Your feint" Every hit is "You perform feint". So just using "Your feint" will catch all the dodges etc.

thingol · 07/22/06, 2:10 AM

got home from work and fixed this easily ... heres the script for anyone with similair questions
[12]

[top] {name

"Feint Missed!", search="Your feint", r=128/256, g=128/256, b=256/256, iscrit=1},
[13]

[top] {name

"Feint has Landed!", search="You perform Feint", r=128/256, g=128/256, b=256/256, iscrit=1},

LodeRunner · 07/22/06, 2:15 AM

Man the guide how to do this shit is in SCTs own files. I'm so glad you didn't take the time to look and instead made this stellar post.

fishwaffle · 07/22/06, 2:49 AM

I looked through the provided SCT guide and somehow never managed to make a working Feint addition, so thanks to the people who helped out in this thread.

add Warrior:

Sunder Armor reapplying on big mobs (eg: Neffarian) you cant see if you actually missed it or refreshed.

4 possible messages for SA:
"Your Sunder Armor was dodged by [insert name]."
"Your Sunder Armor is parried by [insert name]."
"Your Sunder Armor misses`."
"[insert name] is afflicted by Sunder Armor ([#count])."

So should not this line in SCT:

[12] = {name="SA missed!", search="Your Sunder Armor", r=128/256, g=128/256, b=256/256, iscrit=1},

tell me everytime it missed/parried/dodged?

Can not seem to get it to work!

Pyros · 07/22/06, 3:51 AM

About sunder, once a mob has 5sunders, you don't get any messages when you reapply it. However I guess you'd get the error messages. I wanted to code sunder into necb or cooldowncount to get a bar so I could reapply sunder before it wore off, but I figured I'd just wait until the last moment, miss and lose the stack of sunders. So I just sunder every 15secs or so, and make sure it lands by actually listening to the noise it makes(yea yea I'm crazy I play with game sounds, and I even LISTEN to them ^^). That's why I was very interested by the new expose armor, so I wouldn't have to worry about sunder stacks, but it seems it won't be good enough so I'll keep sundering stuff. I hate sunder.

probiscus · 07/22/06, 4:24 AM

Because I said I would:

[14]

[top] {name

"Feint Landed", search="You perform Feint", r=0/256, g=255/256, b=255/256},
[15]

[top] {name

"Feint FAILED", search="Your Feint is dodged", r=255/256, g=153/256, b=51/256, iscrit=1},
[16]

[top] {name

"Feint FAILED", search="Your Feint is parried", r=255/256, g=153/256, b=51/256, iscrit=1},
[17]

[top] {name

"Feint FAILED", search="Your Feint misses", r=255/256, g=153/256, b=51/256, iscrit=1},

Obould · 07/22/06, 5:10 AM

Okay i diged in a bit further and found out that the Sunder miss/dodge/parry msg are from typo:

"CHAT_MSG_SPELL_SELF_DMG"

So first of all i added this into the: SCT_Event_List at the bottom of the sct_event_config.lua file!!

Now with this:

[12] = {name="Sunder missed!", search="Your Sunder Armor", r=256/256, g=0/256, b=0/256},

I get a "Sunder missed!" SCT msg when my Sunders are (i dueled) MISSED and PARRIED, yet when he DODGES them i dont get it and i really dont know why!!!

EDIT:

Found out why it did not show my Sunder Dodges, simply because there is an exact order in which those events are catched, and one of the Overpower lines comes before my Sunder armor list so basically rearrange it to look like this:

[9] = {name="Crusader!", search="You gain Holy Strength", r=128/256, g=128/256, b=256/256, iscrit=1},
[10] = {name="Sunder missed!", search="Your Sunder Armor", r=256/256, g=0/256, b=0/256, class={"Warrior"}},
[11] = {name="Overpower!", search="You attack. (.+) dodges.", r=256/256, g=256/256, b=0/256, class={"Warrior"}},
[12] = {name="Overpower!", search="Your (.+) was dodged", r=256/256, g=256/256, b=0/256, class={"Warrior"}},

Now you will get your "Sunder missed!" every time you miss it or it gets parried / dodged!!!
