I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. I put in my priority list but the issue I am having is even if my top priority skill is off CD it is still going down the list. IE I have listed priority in order of Cross Chop, Blade of Protection, Charged Chop, Thorny Vines, Frantic Briar. I don't know why but it casts the first three right. Then it gets into a loop of Charged Chop Thorny Vines, Charged Chop, Frantic Briar, Charged Chop, Thorny Vines... It isn't going back up to Cross Chop and Blade of Protection. O_o

Never mind, it seems it is working. Didn't notice the chat spam to see which skills it was trying to use. It must have been a lag problem when first tested. However, I was wondering, is there a script to have a pet skill thrown into the priority list? I would like to get my pet to cast Magic Control, yeah it isn't in his spell bar atm cause of a bug, but it is still in the skill book so in theory it should still be able to be cast.

Also was curious about maybe a script that would add my taunt to my priority list if and when I loose aggro on my target?

P.S I would share the code for the wrdn/d priority list but as limited as my understanding of this code stuff, all I could do was set my skills as true...

ok, sry to be a pain but this code I can't seem to make it work right.

Quoted

{ name = "Punishment", use = ((EnergyBar1 >= 25) and (tbuffs[501502]) and ((not tbuffs[506878]) or (tbuffs[506878].time <= 30))) },

So what I want the code to do is, use punishment when it meets its requirements and then it has to wait 30 sec to be able to use punishment again, but it keep trying to use it when the skill has to wait 30sec after use to be use again. I have no idea what I am doing wrong need some expert eyes on the matter.

Here is the Punishment skill = http://www.runesdatabase.com/skill/495713/punishment

Again Thank You in advance for your help =)

You'll have to set timers for your diyce, read through the first 20 or so pages, its somewhere in there.

Actually, to speed up the process. You can look at my R/S DIYCE macro and take out the "fake" cooldown timers I have placed for a few skills.

            elseif mainClass == "WARDEN" and subClass == "DRUID" then
            
            --Potions and Buffs
            Skill = {
                { name = "Recover",                      use = (phealth <= .65) and (pctEB2 >= .05) and (not pbuffs['Recover']) },
                { name = "Action: "..healthpot,          use = (phealth <= .70) },
                { name = "Action: "..manapot,            use = (pctEB2 <= .40) },
                    }
                            
            --Combat
                if enemy then
                Skill2 = {
                    { name = "Cross Chop",                  use = true },
                    { name = "Blade of Protection",         use = true },
                    { name = "Charged Chop",                use = true },
                    { name = "Thorny Vines",                use = true },
                    { name = "Frantic Briar",               use = true },
                            }
                end

But for some reason I do not understand, it will not cast recover or use any heal or mana pots and I am forced to manually throw them in. I keep getting lost going through these threads trying to make sense of how to edit things to my needs. I want to work my buffs in, try to get a pet skill to fire, and other things.... So far this piece of badness is working but I know it can do much more if I could only make sense of values, timers, and modes.... I would really like to understand target=boss so I can throw in something to use Thorn Sigil for when I loose aggro from a burst by DPS. I would think there would be something to put an argument in there that if target of target is not self, then Thorn Sigil.

Also I am going to have to study more on the buffs and even cleanses. I believe that would work, wouldn't it? Work a cleans as if it were a buff, that if say was in state of poison, then Antidote, if curse, then Remove Curse? Guess it would have to rely on a new table of poison debuffs and curse debuffs. So much to think about and so little understanding of code... Makes this real hard.

You need to utilize your locals in order to get what you want working. For example, Thorn sigil (I'm not an expert nor do I play warden, so take this function with a grain of salt) you want target=boss, and you to not be the bosses' target. That would look something like this:

Source code

 
1

 { name = "Thorny Sigil",                use = ((true) and (boss) and (behind)) },
Notice you are telling diyce to use Thorn Sigil if it is up, if target is a boss, and "behind" (which simply means you are not your target's target.)

Since pulling back aggro is kinda a big deal in boss fights, this would be put at the top of the priority list (I'm assuming this is a taunt skill)

As for the "buffs" skill list, those only cast when you do not have an enemy target iirc, so you'd either have to manual those, or make it so you tell diyce to only cast the skills if under a certain % health (local for that is found in this thread) and if regen from recover isn't already on you (assuming this is what you want, also found in this thread).

Got everything I wanted now. Well except I still am not sure, and can't locate if anyone else has, find a way to work in a pet skill. As Magic Control is not on my pet bar but when I click it from the spell book, it seems like it should still be useable. So can anyone tell me if there is a code to include a pet skill in the kill sequence?

I can't test this because I have to get to work, and I have no idea what the 6 means. Anyone have any idea if this will work?

Source code

 
1

{ name = "Pet Skill: 6 (Magic Control)",              use= true },


Nope, doesn't work. I am taking into count that the 6 must be pet action bar slot # so since Magic Control is broken and is no longer in it's slot, then it just can't work.

Can anyone please share how to integrate equipment swap inside DIYCE?
I'd like to swap to knives to fire Throw/Combo Throw, and swap back to arrows, for shot on R/S....
I thought of making it use a macro on an action bar slot, but it wouldn't be able to check the cd on throw/combo throw/shot that way...

Wondering: How does diyce work with skills that have no GCD like throw and charged chop...because sometimes it feels like there is way too big of a wait between when charged chop goes off and the next skill goes off. Sometimes it doesnt even cast the next skill, it just keeps spaming charged chop. Should i have two seperate diyces and macro them together, one for the skills w/o gcd, and one for the ones with them?

Well regarding no CD skills the only solution imo is to alter the code for GD check, practically we can make a list of skills similar to the Sillence list and make the cd check function smart enough not to trigger internal CD (the = 1) whenever a skill from the list is use.

I have no issue with that. Most of the time it works just fine for both my modes, the one using Charged Chop for single pulls and the one using Power of the Wood Spirit for multiple pulls. Only rarely do I find that it just ends up spaming one of those moves and that I have chalked up to lag because it only spams when I am in the new zone.

Am trying to use a new DIYCE for my wrdn/r alt so wanted to work in Tranquil Wave into the buffs, but for some reason it will not cast this ability. Maybe DIYCE doesn't work with ISS?

                end

I know there is a -- to keep it from being read. Just added that to run the code and not get buged with all the skill not available spam. But since Tranquil Wave is an ISS, maybe DIYCE just doesn't know how to use it.

Shoot, the pet skill doesn't work either. Its in the pet action bar number 6 slot so should have worked, but getting skill is unavailable.

Trouble with Sneak Attack

Is anyone else having issues with DIYCE and Sneak Attack? I followed the example given by the warrior/mage that was already in the lau. If Sneak Attack is the first attack used, everything is fine. If something is already attacking me, it wont let me attack back because it constantly wants to use Sneak Attack. This also happens if a health pot or mana pot is used during the fight. It just wants to go directly to Sneak Attack and nothing else.

Also has anyone found a way to add Feint to the combat list? The skill only works after a dodge so I would have thought it would not read as true until a dodge was executed but instead it would just sit there trying to cast Feint so I would get nothing but "Must dodge first before using this ability"

For Sneak Attack, try:

Source code

 
1

{ name = "Sneak Attack",                      use = ((EnergyBar1 >= 30) and (not combat) and (behind)) },


Idk bout warrior's Feint tho. Thought there was an addon around for that, not sure, but it was old. Like ch2/3 old.

Not sure if that will work. Something about Sneak Attack doesn't work like a normal skill. Say if you make a macro /cast Sneak Attack, it will not do anything at all. Hence why there had to be a piece of code to activate it.

The w/m "Surprise Attack" skill and a rogue's "Sneak attack" skill are 2 completely different skills. Surprise attack charges at the enemy, and is a warrior-only skill. Sneak attack hits the enemy from behind and causes a stun+bleed effect.

Assuming you're making a diyce for a rogue:

With the exception of rogue/priest, no rogues can use "Sneak Attack" if they are in combat. Sneak Attack has to be hit from behind. Reason why you can use Sneak Attack first, is because you are not yet in combat while using it. Once an enemy is already hitting you or you've drawn aggro somehow, you are in combat, making you unable to use Sneak Attack until you leave combat again.

Try that diyce for Sneak Attack. It will work.
---------------------------
If, for some reason, you're mixing up Surprise Attack and Sneak Attack, the above won't work. Sneak Attack is a rogue skill. Surprise Attack is a warrior skill. Surprise Attack can only be used if you are far away enough from your enemy, as for making this work via diyce, I can't really help you, other than maybe look at the melee checks in diyce and work it from there. I'm guessing that GetActionUsable(14) is that person's melee check.
