Idea - Add an option to activate a powersource during burn

there is already an option to specify/use powersource in buff section , not100% ure how this works i.e if its a on/off or specify which type but am sure a condition could be made so its only equipped during combat?

under buffs look for
Rich (BB code): 
PowerSource=NULL
 
As far as I know the power sources only lose "charge" in combat so no need for a condition there if that's the case.

pretty sure it is as i had the same sources equipped for like 15 levels lol.

Also I saw this a while back on the eq forums (1 month or something)
https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/how-do-i-use-a-power-source.241434/

Scroll down after the guy posts the video explaining them he also posts this :

Power sources drain during combat. (They used to drain continuously when equipped.)

And yes you just add the source after the section that says source - no idea if it actually works though.
PowerSource=Pure Energian Elemental Orb
 
Kiss will let you use power sources. But be warned, it will /destroy the old power source when dead.

All you need to do is include the summon in the buffs section:

Buffs1=Sealed Pure Energeian Metal Orb|Summon|Pure Energeian Orb|1

Then what Mara said about the PowerSource Entry.

You can't turn on and off a powersource.
 
That's starting to get just a bit outside of the K.I.S.S. realm. First off there would have to be more flags added for those who like the way the powersource works now. Then add the code required for un-equipping it safely. You can't just pickup the item and then /autoinventory it. You have to find an open slot in a bag or an open top level bag slot. Then you will have to figure where to put the code for re-equipping the powersource. I can tell you it would just be much easier to keep a couple stacks of them on your character than it would be to try and squeeze the usage out of just a few.. It takes a while to burn through a stack of power sources. I use them on my tank and I rarely have to go and buy more.

Way to slap down that nightmare of a coding IDEA ... ( SLAP SLAP ) .. lol

No.. but seriously... I totally agree with you Chris.
(Is it just me.. or does EQHolic seem to constantly come up with ideas to try and keep us chained to our dev workstations in our secret underground mountain compound ??? )

Seriously... troll the posts and count up his IDEA posts... I think he has it out for us.... doesn't want us to ever see sunshine again.
 
LOL.. Well you can tell how many of those ideas were liked and added to kiss. He comes up with a lot of good ideas...
 
I agree that this isn't worth a huge code investment. I just hoped that you have the helper routines already in place because you can equip/unequip pet focus items. One question tough, there is a line powersource=. What is that actualy doing ?

powersource is where you would put the name of the powersource item you want to use.

Also don't count out the ability to do what you want. With a little effort you could add the code to do what you want, and/or in the next revision of KISS, the ability to do want you want may be added inadvertently.

Check out this post: https://www.redguides.com/forums/threads/55331-Issuing-slash-(-COMMAND-)-in-KissAssist?p=327262&viewfull=1#post327262

If the command for /unequip and/or /exchange were added. you would be able to /exchange the item in the burn routine and /unequip the item in the Buffs routine. Would need to add the code for the buffs routine, but that could be done easily enough.

THD really hates down time.. That's all I got to say about it.

anyone got a nice solution for this? Equiping a specific powersource during burns?

I haven't tested this, and it's just theoretical:

# Equip PS
DPS1=command: /multiline ; /itemnotify ${FindItem[<PS NAME>].InvSlot} leftmouseup ; /autoinventory|99|once|Cond1
Cond1= ${BurnActive} == 1
# Unequip PS and try to store it into the 1st slot of the 1st bag in your inventory (may need to change that)
DPS2=command: /multiline ; /itemnotify 21 leftmouseup ; /itemnotify in pack1 1 leftmouseup ; /autoinv|99|once|Cond2
Cond2= ${BurnActive} == 0

is this a working commands now?


at work now, will test at home
 
Here is another option:

Burn1=command:/exchange "PowerSource Name" powersource|Cond1
DPS1=command:/unequip powersource|100|Cond2

I would also add:

Buffs1=command:/unequip powersource|Cond2


Cond1=!${Me.Inventory[powersource].ID} && ${FindItemCount[=PowerSource Name]} && ${sentFrom.Equal[burn]}
Cond2=${Me.Inventory[powersource].ID} && ${sentFrom.NotEqual[burn]}

None of this has been tested but is for general information.
 
This is what I came up with

Swaps between an empty Translucent Energeian Elemental Orb and Cliff Stone

One thing though, need to have a space before the |Cond or it will error @ctaylor22

Buffs13=command:/exchange 80738 powersource |Cond4
DPS3=command:/exchange 80738 powersource |99|Cond4
Burn5=command:/exchange 151501 powersource |Cond3
Cond3=${Me.Inventory[powersource].Name.Equal[Translucent Energeian Elemental Orb]}
Cond4=${Me.Inventory[powersource].Name.Equal[Cliff Stone]}
