Question - Burn Script

[kett73]

Has the way burn scripts been changed? I was using an old script but it doesn't seem to work. I was using /mb cast shortburns to trigger, but it doesn't work any longer.

[AD1]
Gem=script
Spell=shortburns
SpellFoci=
DurMod=0
SpellAlias=shortburns
Announce=/bc
SpellMinMana=0
SpellRecast=0
SpellCastonResist=
SpellDelay=0
TarCnt=0
TarType=3
TarBegHP=98
TarEndHP=0
IfSpellImmune=
UseHoTT=0
PreCondition=TRUE

[script-shortburns]
Commands=3
C1=/disc Silentfist Discipline
C2=/delay 5
C3=/disc Thunder Kick Discipline

Nobody uses burns with modbot??

I will run some tests to make sure scripts are working OK. But, honestly, I do not do it like this. I simply use separate AD entries. You could easily put Silent Disc as AD1, and Kick Disc as AD2. TarType 3 will only fire on named. You could also use the DoNamed to control it a little more. Or turn the spells on/off.

That's one of the 'benefits' of MB. There are quite a few ways to accomplish a task. You can pick the one you feel most comfortable with. That being said, scripts should also be a viable solution

When you say it doesn't work, which part doesn't work? Does it do anything at all? For instance, if you put an /echo in there, would you see it?

It doesn’t do anything. I have it setup for short and long burns across all my crew (42). It might be dated since I have been using this setup from several years ago. If this no longer works I’ll just change it to what does work now. I haven’t tried an echo, but I’ll throw that in tonight.

I kinda like the idea of just putting in [AD] and turning off long burns until I want to use them.

try /bc cast shortburns instead of /mb.
this means all your toons will use their burn script when you make that call - your entry in your ini is just fine.
the AD idea is a pain in the ass - you want to control your burns to trigger them when you want and not just because its a named unless you are never raiding .. turning them on and off means having to setup multiple hotkeys to reset the variable on the fly otherwise restart the maccro hence indeed just a PITA.

another idea is to just bypass modbot entirely

you can have a hotkey which use channels instead like
/bct monks //disc inner
/bct rogues //disc duel
etc ...
its not sexy but works and you stay in control ..
