Detrimental affect script

Is it possible that when a certain detrimental affect is placed on you that the UI could automatically do a /raid say?

Yes it is.

Shivers at the amount of spam that would cause..

Since Mark of Repulsion is only cast on one character that would not cause alot of spam. Simarly the effects from VS that affect only one character would not cause spam as well. It would be useful to have to wakeup "ahem" certain raid members who have the habit of not looking at there detrimental affects window.

Hmm, I glanced at it previously and couldn't determine how to do such a thing, myself. The detrimental window, like effects, isn't linked to DynamicData but hard-coded. I swear I looked at things like the icon Text or Tooltip properties and couldn't get anything out of them.

Are you two saying I didn't try hard enough? I'll certainly look again if you think it's possible. As the OP mentioned, Trakanon/Byzola/VS would all benefit from that. Doesn't even have to be a /shout but create a pop up window on-screen telling the user.

I'm sure the EQ2 raid populace has no end of non-observant people, or people who have a scrolling detrimental window that cannot see the icon wiping the entire raid because they missed it.

I think we may have both been thinking of just differentiating between the four types of detrimental effects, not specific spells (at least I did). Whether you can work with the tooltip from the effects window I am not sure, maybe if you can disable some of the info such as duration which would make a string comparison impossible, not sure if you can for those tooltips though.

Anyone still working on this?? I am pretty sure that this would be a top download for raids if it is possible. I wish I understood how to do the UI modding more then the minute bit I have figured out by opening other mod up.

Thanks Kairha

I don't believe it's possible to do. I tried long ago when first doing Trak, and it doesn't seem any more possible now. An interesting thing of note is that Mark of Repulsion is an uncurable arcane effect. But when everyone on the raid has 1-2 uncurable arcane effects, that doesn't help much.
