Problem - Twincast and its ranks

[aspire2008]

So I posted about this a couple of months back here: https://www.redguides.com/forums/th...ULLER-WITH-BOW?p=341696&viewfull=1#post341696


Well I finally got around to messing around with figuring out why KA casts every other Rank spell without putting the actual rank and never seems to cast Twincast.


So apparently core mq2 thinks the spell gem is never ready, it doesn't seem to be an issue with KA but mq2.

For example, if I do :

/echo ${Me.SpellReady[${Spell[Twincast].RankName}]} it returns FALSE when the spell gem is actually ready

/echo ${Me.SpellReady[${Spell[Wild Barrage].RankName}]} it returns TRUE when the spell gem is actually ready

Which is why every single spell other than Twincast is working no matter the rank. So leads me to believe its an issue with core? This was tested using Rank III Twincast

have you tried seeing if mq2 sees the gem ready and not just the spell? Might be confused as to an AA or the spell since they have the same name?

Whats the TLO for that? Me.GemReady[spell name] ?

Me.GemTimer[name|#]

Well tried to mess with it some more:


${Me.GemTimer[Twincast]} returns a value of 0, which seems right but then when I tried the condition as follows, nothing happened.

DPS22=Twincast|99
DPSCond22=${Me.GemTimer[Twincast]}==0 && (!${Me.Buff[Twincast].ID} || !${Me.Buff[Improved Twincast].ID})

There must be either some issue in mq2cast or core is the only thing I can think off at this point.

It is most likely in MQ2Cast. it looks for the spell last and everything else has priority first.

cant he cast it by using the spell ID for twincast, or?

Yea, but kiss would have to be modified to call /cast properly. Currently the name is passed to /cast. Would have to some how know to pass the ID and not the name. It could be done though..

Here try this:

Find the CastSpell routine and find the highlighted line:

        /if (${Target.ID}!=${WhatID} && ${Spell[${WhatSpell}].TargetType.NotEqual[Self]} && ${Spawn[id ${WhatID}].ID}) /call CastTarget ${WhatID}
        /if (${Me.Gem[${WhatSpell}]}) {
            /if (${Me.GemTimer[${WhatSpell}]}==0) {
                /casting "${WhatSpell}" -maxtries|${MaxTryNum}                /while (${Cast.Status.Equal[C]} && ${CastResult.NotEqual[CAST_CANCELLED]}) {
                    /if (${CastingInterruptOn}) {

change the line to this:

    /casting ${Me.Book[${Me.Book[${WhatSpell}]}].ID} -maxtries|${MaxTryNum}

That will at lease pass the spell ID to the /casting command

Made the change you suggested, but no luck.

 

[ctaylor22]

Hmm. Then the issue may be elsewhere. That should of passed the spell ID from your spell book to /casting.

My guess is since this is a quested spell, it may have been coded differently? I know I had this issue with devestators bots too, but then he made is own devcast.inc to completely avoid using mq2cast, and I think it worked after that but not really 100% sure on that either.

UPDATE:


Did a workaround fix for this. Made a copy of the ini and changed Twincast to Twincast Rk. III to get it to fire.


Ended up finding a small little exploit which I'm not sure if it does anything yet, need to do some testing on it.
