Question - 86 Mage using Host of Elements/Jolt of Many and complex conditional

[shu]

Version of KissAssist.mac?

11.005

When did your problem start?

Not a problem it is a question.

Character Role?

1. Assist

What class is having this issue?

1. Magician

How often does this issue occur?

Always

As I understand conditionals can not be used in a AE or Burn section. This is my goal with help of some elders on this forum.
In my AE or Burn section when I activate Host of Elements I need the nuke Jolt of Many to have higher priority than any nuke in my KA file.
I only want to cast Jolt of Many while the summoned pets from my AA ability Host of Elements are active and have not vanished. This goal is above my knowledge of KA. Any help?

you can just put it in your dps section with a condition for how many mobs you have - or whatever other burn conditions you would meet

I, personally, don't use the burn section in kiss, i just put everything in the dps/heals with condition checks
for swarms i think you would need to just do a spawncount check against your name with an 's on it to see if there are any "Shu's pet" alive

example burn condition: ${Target.Name}
example count: ${Me.XTarget} > # (where # is the number you want more than)
combined: ${Target.Named} || ${Me.XTarget} > 2 this "||" is an or - so it is saying if my target is named OR i have more than 2 mobs on xtarget

Nihil I easily understaqnd your cond even tho I have abt 5 weeks of exp with KA code.
However it seems you did not include in your cond a spawn count check. Without the cond code for a spawn count check I am lost.

lol - sic is fine :p why you callin me "nothing/zero/zilch" =p


${SpawnCount[${Me.Name}'s pet]} > 0 (or whatever number you would want

 

[shu]

cond1=${Target.Named} || ${Me.XTarget} > 3 && ${SpawnCount[${Me.Name}'s pet]} > 8

Nihil is there a doc that newcomers can read so that they can create complex conds w/o yrs of exp? :P

Me sic; you shu.

Thank you sic. I will read those docs that is for certain. I am 62 with a old and slow brain but my brain is still good. Yes you are talking to an old fart that helped create factory automation and VOIP over a national database. Yes I know that was b4 ur time. :P

I could be a lich! you don't know!

MQ2 can feel overwhelming out the gate, because there is so much information to learn and syntax and TLOs and such - but once you get a little base foot, it starts to come much easier. Go easy on yourself, I have a feeling you will be blazing around with cool conditions in no time!

I wrote my first condition in marchish 2019, and while I'm far from an expert or authority, I have definitely come a long way - likely even further than i had expected I would.

feel free to stop by discord - there's always some form of conversation happening, and we're frequently talking conditions and code and such and learning from one another.

You have a discord server info you want to share with me?
Is MQ2Cleric or MQ2Berzerker better than a KA file? Eventually my son and I need to replace our 2 rank 5 healer mercs with a cleric and a zerker.

the CWTN class plugins are very specific and do what they do in a very specific way, kiss affords a much greater level of customization and specificity - so it really depends on what you're looking for. the cwtn stuff is especially nice if you don't know much about the class because you don't have to set anything up.

I've done all TBL/ToV group content with both kiss and cwtn plugin suite

for discord I mean the general RedGuides discord server > Here <

My 110 mage ini has a condition for using the 'of many's line of spells. The spell actually scales off any pet, not just the mage's.

 

[Dragonslayer]

The code meets the request but as sa_cryzek already mentioned the 'of many' nukes count All pets on target. So it might be a better solution to just use Target.Named in the Condition and assume that all available pets + swarm pets will chew on the target, when it is a named and not Limit its use to the own living swarms. Having the right aa's bought, the 'of many' proccs an additional petboost, even if there is only 1 pet chewing the target.
