2 bugs: Shaman and eq2bot(?)

[Nobody]

1) Coagulate keeps on re-casting over and over. (End of STA line shaman AA) probably IsReady issue.

2) 2 characters named similar seems to wig-out the script. example:

(These arn't actually my character names, but I did test the theory out using several different similar names with the same classes)

Your main character is named Aaron (defiler), Your 2nd is named Aron (bruiser) Alone, the scripts work perfectly without a problem.

- When the two are grouped however, the defiler won't do anything to heal the bruiser, but it will place the initial buffs on the bruiser and will occasionally will cast a heal at the end of the fight. I've gone a whole fight seeing if it will ever throw a heal to save my butt and the bot just sat there watching me die. Of course since i'm mentoring the bruiser, the mob kills defiler next.

I'll look at coagulate, I don't use that line so didn't know it was busted. In short, there are several aa buff lines that come up as isready while casting, so it gets into a buff loop on them. I've had to add some wait 30 (or however long the cast time is) to those buff routines. Just so it doesn't recheck it before it is applied.

I suspect MANY of the class files are using ${Actor[${MainTankPC}]} when they should be using ${Actor[ExactName,${MainTankPC}]}.

Ideally, this would be converted to ID across the board, but thats an order of magnitude I'm not currently interested in changing in eq2bot

I'll add ExactName to the defiler today, test it for me, if its good I'll add to other heal routines as I touch them.

But honestly, wouldn't the better fix be to re-roll your bruiser with a different name?

 

[Nobody]

Thing is, i'm probably not the only one to make 2 characters with close to the same name - so others may have the issue down the road anyway - and any healer is more likely to be one of the 2 similar named chars than anyone class.

Oh yeah another one: (non-major)

If you have "use pets" check marked, or have the pet out, you see currently casting looping all the AA's that used to be non-passive. (unneccessary script execution)

Aura of Warding, Aura of Haste, Spiritual Foresight, Virulence.


I'd roll another char, but this one is already a 50+ tradeskiller and has a buncha masters (don't feel like farming or spending money to get em)

I brought up the problem with Coagulate a couple weeks back on IRC, but got disconnected due to issues at work before I could finish speaking with Pyg and forgot about it.

Coagulate use to be a single target buff, after the AA line revamp its a nontarget group buff. I replaced the "case AA_Coagulate" in my Defiler script with just a "call CastSpellRange" so there is no check if buff is on the Maintank or not.

I posted another defiler this morning. If it looks good, I'll update the other healers.

you said:

2 characters named similar seems to wig-out the script

What happens with pets named the same as there caster?

I know for Jester's Cap it does not work as it tries to cast on the closest. (troubador)

Can I simply add the 'ExactName' to fix this for my script?

[Pygar]

No.

If you want to cast on the character and not the pet, you should have PC,Exactname, in your actor[] call.

To cast on a pet and not the prerson, I'm not sure of the syntax....

For some reason since the latest update on the defiler script, when soloing my toon will not heal himself. Before the update everything was working fine. Anybody else noticing this?

 

[Pygar]

Little more info...

Solo or in group?

 

[jujuryan77]

When I am soloing this is occuring. I have prewards checked in the interface and he wards himself fine during the whole fight. But does not cast any direct heals. So when he cannibalizes I used to see a direct heal almost come immediately after the canni now this doesn't happen. As always Main tank box and Main assist boxes are checked. Sorry for not being more clear. I hope this helps.

 

[Pygar]

Thanks, found the bug. Thanks for the extra info.

Will post a fix sometime today.

 

[jujuryan77]

Thanks for the fix Pygar

The mystic script I downloaded just a few days ago still has this issue with coagulate. Is it something *I* need to change somewhere?

 

[Pygar]

Sorry, I don't normally maintain the mystic script, but I'll look at this.
