Question - Check to see if next cast will be an MGB

[Niz]

Writing a Lua as a learning exercise and part of the logic is to prevent casting a particular group buff on rotation if the next group buff will be an MGB. I've looked through a bunch of TLOs and whatnot and can't find anything that indicates that the MGB alt ability has been activated but not used? Is there such data somewhere?

eq does not give an indication client side

Thanks for the quick reply, Sic. That's just plain unfortunate.

The only thing close you can do is respond to the events:

You begin casting Mass Group Buff.
You begin casting Tranquil Blessings.

What I’ve done is set a storage variable that’s bool that after a group spell is cast if it’s true when it does resets to false until next time it’s activated

I used to use GINA to track my MGB.

When I cast Tranquil Blessing it would display a timer to show that it was active. When I cast an appropriate group spell it would remove the timer.

The trigger is shown at the bottom of this post. The main disadvantage is that for each group spell I had to add the spell info to the "End Early Text" so in the screenshoyt it only shows info for my old druid whom I no longer raid on.
