For some reason this new code, while working great, puts the W for the wisdom check a line below the rest of the tag. I cant for the life of me seem to figure out how to change it.

I'm making an assumption that the background is red and when the condition fires the color is changed to green. If this were the case the explanation would be the missing scorch color handler near the end of that script. It never changes color from red but is prior to wisdom in the return string.

You would need the bolded part added to the script (well you need that part anyway if you intend this to work with scorch)

if crit then
 cr,cg,cb = 0,255,0
end
if scorch then
 sr,sg,sb = 0,255,0
end
if wisdom then
 wr,wg,wb = 0,255,0
end

Juravieal · 06/25/09, 6:57 AM

No, what I was meaning is its actually on 2 different lines. As in the W denoting wisdom is a line below everything else. Not even on the frame, assuming you have it tied to the blank bar at the bottom.

I believe inspecting talent trees is like an event triggered from NotifyInspect(Unit), it can't be done instantly so shouldn't be done in a LuaTag. However, since UnitAura() can also return the UnitId of the caster, you can at least compare against the name of your guild's prot pally, and check all judgements on the mob to see if there are any cast by that player. This is how scorchio does it as well: you have to set in scorchio options which paladin has Judgements of the Just.

Updated with working LuaText. Replace Durandahl and Shiftycent with the names of prot pallies / boomkins that are properly speced. Haven't worked out the code for multiple people yet. Does LuaTexts have arrays?

if not UnitIsFriend(unit,'player') then
 local i = 1

 local tr,tg,tb = 50,50,50

 local hr,hg,hb = 50,50,50
 local cr,cg,cb = 50,50,50
 local sr,sg,sb = 50,50,50
 local wr,wg,wb = 50,50,50
 -- Pally with Judgement of the Just in their spec
 local juster = "Durandahl"
 -- Moonkin with Imp. FF in their spec
 local firer = "Shiftycent"
 while true do
  local name,_,_,count,_,_,_,caster = UnitAura(unit,i,"HARMFUL")
  if not name then
    break
  elseif name == "Thunder Clap" then
    ttw = true
  elseif name == "Infected Wounds" then
    ttw = true
  elseif name == "Frost Fever" then
    ttw = true
  elseif name == "Earth and Moon" then
    dam = true

    dam = true
  elseif name == "Curse of the Elements" then
    dam = true
  elseif name == "Misery" then
    hit = true
  elseif name == "Faerie Fire" and UnitName(caster) == firer then
    hit = true
  elseif name == "Totem of Wrath" then
    crit = true
  elseif name == "Master Poisoner" then
    crit = true
  elseif name == "Heart of the Crusader" then
    crit = true
  elseif name == "Improved Scorch" and count == 5 then
    scorch = true 
  elseif name == "Winter's Chill" then
    scorch = true
  elseif name == "Shadow Mastery" then
    scorch = true
  elseif name == "Judgement of Wisdom" then
    wisdom = true
    if UnitName(caster) == juster then
      ttw = true
    end
  elseif ((name == "Jusgement of Light") or (name == "Judgement of Justice")) and UnitName(caster) == juster then
    ttw = true
  end
  i = i + 1

remove any "|n". I must have missed it when I posted it (my UI has this tag vertical so I have to remove them whenever I post it for general use). If that doesn't solve it then the issue is not a tag issue, but a LuaText issue itself.

Ravendude: You mispelled Judgement (which is impressive when Judgement isn't a word itself

) Your general method is interesting, I like it for Judgements of the Just. For IFF I am pretty sure it doesn't matter who casts the Faerie Fire, as long as there is a boomkin in group. It also may be the same for Judgements of the Just, but no prot paly is going to not be Judgeing.

I guess I should do some testing for IFF and JotJ

No, the moonkin has to cast it. A moonkin gets 3% extra crit on targets with any kind of FF on it though.

Utopia - Addons - Curse will inspect other players for you and provide a frame showing what buffs and debuffs have been applied (and which ones your group is missing). I believe you can customize it so only the ones you care about are shown as well.

As far as I know, there's no way to tell purely by filtering debuffs whether a Faerie Fire you see on the mob is Improved or not. However, an FF cast by a Feral is called "Faerie Fire (Feral)." So the only way to have an un-Imp FF is if you have Moonkin without IFF or a Resto casting it, both of which should be pretty unlikely.

New version of my UI heavily inspired by Elurina's

Main difference is that my carbonite map is automatically hidden when i enter a raid, there is also more information with my focus, focus's target and my target's target which is invaluable as warning for vezax...

One question still, how is the cpu usage of clique versus decursive ? If it's the same then i'll ditch decursive and will make a layer with clique above my Aguf raid frames.

You can also set it to show you when TTW is active on a mob.

Mage Fever is better than Mage Alert, because Mage Alert is laggy when screen flashes and sound play

Why should we use a dedicated extra addon when PowerAuras can handle everything.

Just set it for TTW, HotStreak with timer and even sound or icon/texture/text animation.

ravenndude · 06/28/09, 9:40 PM

updated my post with working TTW and IFF tracking for specific players. Here's a screen shot. Note: All debuffs are applied except JoW.

Because some of us don't like big flashy things on hour screen ? I find Power Auras distracting, and don't really like it. I use Mage Fever and Scorchio2 for the tracking of effects.

While I don't agree with Skyky, you can make Power Auras less big and flashy. All of my Power Aura indicators are simple text displays.
This is a very old screenshot, but it does show my Hot Streak indicator. The size and text are completely controllable and can easily be less distracting than Mage Fever or Scorchio2.
