Question - Code to Check HP/Buffs on Group Members

[darkeros]

First of all, is there a code that checks a group member's HP like ${Target.PctHPs} does? If so, what do you change target to?

If the answer to the above is in the positive, is there a code to check the buffs of another person (with the intent to check the buffs of the groupmate and if X buff isn't on the list, then cast it)?

			/if (${Group.Member[${i}].PctHPs} < 65) {
				/delay .5s
				/varset targetId ${Group.Member[${i}].ID}
				/goto :heal

:heal 
|/echo Healing
	/if (${Me.CurrentMana}<${Spell["Superior Heal"].Mana}) {
		/return
	}
	/target id ${targetId}
	/cast 2
|/echo Return
/goto :loop

That should pretty much set you up for checking the group as a whole.

1) While you wont get the value of their HP like when you use ${Me.CurrentHPs}. ${Group.Member[#].PctHPs} will show you the % (0-100) but not the value (like 46385).

2) ${Group.Member[#].Buff[Insert Buff Here]} <- Note that this only works if the group leader has Inspect Buffs AA I think.

Have you tested this? I thought I had tried every combination of spawn/groupmember to check buffs. The only way I was ever able to check buffs on other players, was to actually target the player and then you can pull the info from the Target window. If this works I'll be happily making some changes to my buff code lol

Here is an example of what I've used in the past in case the above doesn't work.
Keep in mind this is from memory and I can't verify that it works as I am at work currently.
You may need to change ${sBuff${b}} to ${sBuff}${b} I can't remember.

Sub Buff
/declare g        int      local
/declare b        int      local
/declare sBuff1 string local Clarity
/declare sBuff2 string local Brilliance
/declare BuffC  int      local 2

/for g 1 to ${Group}
/if (!${Group.Member[${g}].ID}) /goto :NextG
/target ID ${Group.Member[${g}].ID}
/delay 8
/for b 1 to ${BuffC}
/if (!${Target.Buff[${sBuff${b}}]}.ID} && ${Me.SpellReady[${sBuff${b}}]}) {
 /casting "${sBuff${b}}"
 /delays 1s ${Me.Casting.ID}
 /delays 25s ${Me.SpellReady[${sBuff${b}}]}
}
/next b
:NextG
/next g

/return

This example is assuming everyone is alive and within range of the buffer. You can add checks for HP, mana, distance, combat state, etc. It also has no way to compensate for people who have buffs blocked, higher level buffs that can't be overridden, etc... so you can run into problems where your buff toon will constantly recast the buff. I also personally use a 2-5min timer so that my toons don't constantly cycle targets.

Thanks for the update AnonymousHero. I didn't have a chance to play yesterday so I couldn't test it myself.
