Hotbar : Add amount of proc left

battosa · #1 02-21-2010, 03:54 PM

don't know if it's possible but i would like to see the amount of proc left when i cast a spell like Hostage of the Coercer

I've seen this on some Maintened effect windows but i don't know how to add it in a Hotbar windows

DynamicData="/GameData.Maintained.Spell_30.AmountRemaining"

Is it even possible?
thanks

Possible, yes. Remotely easy... no. Not even particularly easy to explain.

I do like making scripting mods though... I might find time to do such a thing.

Run it OnTextChanged of the maintained spells. The only problem is probably that you'll need to compare all of them each time to not run into race conditions between enabling and disabling the overlay, so you'll be wasting a lot of clock cycles all the time. But that doesn't appear to be that much of a consideration these days...

Well, there are ways to limit such things. Just have the Amount Remaining set a flag if it has a value other than whatever-blank-is and have a timer poll once a second maybe for that flag and run a script if true. It doesn't have to run every time amount remaining or a maintained buff's visibility changes.

Oh, that's what you want to do. I was thinking about assigning the AmountRemaining DD directly to the overlay, saves you manually updating the values, then you only need to keep the DD updated to the correct spell # or turn it off when the applicable spell isn't found.

Well, just the first thought that came to mind. I didn't say it was the best.

There's no simple way for the hotbutton to know which thing is in there and then try to match it up against your maintained window. It might still be possible to do, but I doubt it would be simple, and you'd probably have to tell the hotbar which effect it was looking for manually.
