Battle Rez Count Weakaura

[caesia]

my friend who usually helps me with the more complicated weakauras that require Lua isn't around, so I thought I'd post here.

I'd like to set up a weakaura that gives me the amount of brez's (used/left doesn't matter) I have a weakaura that tells me when people cast one, but when multiple people cast on the same person they both go on cd. So i just want an aura that shows the count actually taken. Anyone have one handy? or able to help me out making one?

Hey there!

I can't open the game right now to test it, but it should be something like this:

If you want to use LUA (all in one):

Create a WeakAura (icon, text, whatever) and set the display to stacks (%s).
The trigger type is Custom, on event. The events to listen for are:

COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED,PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED,PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED

In the trigger custom code it should go something like this:

function(...)
    local Rebirth, RaiseAlly, Soulstone = 20484, 61999, 20707
    local waEvt,_, eventType, _, _, whoCast, _, _, _, whoReceived, _, _, spellID = ...    

    if waEvt == "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED" then
	    if eventType == "SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS" then
	        if (spellID == Rebirth) or (spellID == RaiseAlly) or (spellID == Soulstone) then
	            if qtyBress == nil then
	            	qtyBress = 1
	            else
	           		qtyBress = qtyBress + 1
	        	end
	        end        
	    end
	elseif (waEvt == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED") or (waEvt == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED") then
		-- Reset counter upon entering or leaving combat
	    qtyBress = 0
	end

	return true
end

And the "Stacks Information" custom code:

function()
	return qtyBress
end

If you do not want to mess with that much lua code, you can create various "Spell cast sucessful event" triggers in one weakaura (Trigger type: event) and increase a variable (like qtyBress) on the "Action" tab, using custom code upon activation. Then create a second one that will display that variable (using the custom fuction returning the stack amount)

Edit: This will show Battle resses CASTED, not accepted. Not sure how to track the ones that were accepted, never payed attention if there is any entry on the combat log for resurrection accepted.

tried this myself not too long ago, but then we started to almost one-shot everything and i didn't finish

i also couldn't find an event to see if a player actually accepted a resurrection. you could maybe store death players (UNIT_DIED), see if they where target of a resurretion (SPELL_RESURRECT) and check when they gain an aura, all while still in the same encounter. not sure about cpu load though. might even be flawed when a shaman uses his ankh after he got a resurrection

when in a raid, i suggest using the events ENCOUNTER_START and ENCOUNTER_END (came with SoO i think, don't know if they implemented them retrospectively) instead of PLAYER_REGEN_... so that even if yourself die, the counter doesn't reset while the fight still continues. seems better suited, even if PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED might work the same, not quiet sure

I didn't know about those events! I'll make sure to use them!
You could couple spell_aura_removed to get a soulstone ress, or spell_aura_applied (Void touched) for the Death Knight ress. I have no idea if Rebirth (druid) applies any buff, though...

i managed to get something running (import string: http://pastebin.com/CM6HbyRV )
it's basically what i said

ENCOUNTER_START: init/reset vars
UNIT_DIED .. store in a table
SPELL_RESURRECT .. get notified when someone casted a resurrection
SPELL_AURA_APPLIED .. if player is in our death table, he somehow is no longer dead. if he got a resurrection before, he most likely is no shaman and we can only res n-1 times
ENCOUNTER_END

you might want to add or change some logic to accustom for your output needs.
as it stands, it reports to the raid channel whenever someone dies, gets resurrected and is alive again, while also always notifying how much res are left. as initial spam protection it will stop if 7 players are dead
