Question - is there a command to put a delay in a downshit?

[janktron]

hey. i play on the TLP server and I'm having issues with my enchanter casting his epic haste on my melee chars thru KA buffs. So I made a downshit for each melee to check for the buff and then /bct ench to cast it on them if its not there....it spams the hell out of the ench bc it requests it every second if not multiple times a second....this is fine i guess, except for when 5 of them are doing it at once, then ench cycles thru all the melee but never actually casts.
Is there a command i can put in there so it will only resend the request every 5-10 seconds maybe? thanks all!

The problem will be knowing if you have already issued the command and not issue it again. If you had a timer variable you could set, and then in your holy/down shit check if the timer is zero. You would have to use the /multiline command send the tell and set the timer to like 10 seconds or something. You will have to create the YourTimer variable.

Something like this:

/if (!${Buff[SomeBuff] && !${YourTimer}) /multiline /bct enchanter ; /varset YourTimer 5s

Unless you got a billion of melee toons, just use Visions of Grandeur and wait for Luclin to get group haste.

Hey CT, was wondering earlier about instituting a timer in a shit so the timing here is great (no pun). How would you setup the YourTimer var/timer outside of a mac? I mean is there a way to create it in server_toonname.ini where it had the appropriate scope? Perhaps in another holy/down as a global? Or would it require me to put it in the currently running mac, and if so would it have to be a global var?

autoexec.cfg

/if (!${Defined[YourTimer]}) /declare YourTimer timer global

Also, I was playing around with a shit toggling it's own flag on and off and it seemed to work:

holyshi1=1
downflag1=1
holyshit1=/melee downflag1=1
downshit1=/if(Some Condition) /multiline ; /do SomeThingUsefulOnce ; /melee downflag1=0

Obviously that is paraphrased, but I found I could toggle things on and off to the extent that I could make a shit fire only once in a combat/noncombat cycle. I believe it has huge potential. After I work more with it and see some practical uses, I might do a write up on it with examples...
