RGMercs Action Required: Custom Config Users (Rez Classes Only) v968

[Algar]

TLDR: Update your DoRez function in your custom config!

Please, pardon the inconvenience:
There will be an update shortly that will change how AA spells with a cast time are handled; they will be processed the same way that spells currently are (with the WaitCastFinish() function). This will allow us to have some of the same monitoring/cancel features (such as out-of-range checks, target death checks, and retry attempts) that we currently have on spell casts.

Because of this, two new variables have been added to UseAA : UseAA(aaName, targetID, bAllowDead, retryCount)

As a result, unless that third variable is passed as true, any AA in DoRez will stopcast.


[CODE lang="Lua" title="List of Affected AA (For easy copy/paste/replace)"]
-- Before (CLR):
Casting.UseAA("Blessing of Resurrection", corpseId)
- -After:
Casting.UseAA("Blessing of Resurrection", corpseId, true, 1)
-- Before (DRU/SHM):
Casting.UseAA("Call of the Wild", corpseId)
-- After:
Casting.UseAA("Call of the Wild", corpseId, true, 1)
-- Before (DRU/SHM):
Casting.UseAA("Rejuvenation of Spirit", corpseId)
-- After:
Casting.UseAA("Rejuvenation of Spirit", corpseId, true, 1)
-- Before (NEC):
Casting.UseAA("Convergence", corpseId)
-- After:
Casting.UseAA("Convergence", corpseId, true, 1)
-- Before (PAL):
Casting.UseAA("Gift of Resurrection", corpseId)
-- After:
Casting.UseAA("Gift of Resurrection", corpseId, true, 1)
[/CODE]

If you *haven't* taken a look at the default class config's Rez function in a while, you may want to, as it underwent a revamp last week and is definitely improved.

As far as the bAllowDead variable, this already existed for spells, but is very seldom used. It works very well for combat buff entries that are in the combat/dps rotation (so they continue casting as the target dies). It is now available for AA as well.

Example:
[CODE lang="Lua" title="Example" highlight="4"]{
name = "GroupRenewalHoT",
type = "Spell",
allowDead = true,
cond = function(self, spell)
if not foo then return false end
return foo
end,
},[/CODE]
