Bloodlust macro

[lungo]

Hallo

I have for a long time used this, to add a little flavor, when Im popping bloodlust. But recently I have seen it just spam the "/in /gr (...)" like 20-30 times a sec.
That together with those times where I need to push it more that once, due to GCD, I some time courses alot of spam. That is why I stopped useing it for some time now. Then I just wonderen, are there a way where you can add a command, so it won't start the text part, if the cast part are succesful?

#showtooltip Bloodlust
/cast Bloodlust
/raid BLOODLUST Has started, 40 sec of fun time!
/in 10 /gr 10 sec passed
/in 20 /gr Half way mark reached
/in 30 /gr 10 Sec left, blow EVERYTHING
/in 40 /gr Bloodlust has ended - Have a nice day

local a = CreateFrame("Frame")
a:Hide()
a:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self, elapsed)
    local lastTime = self.time
    self.time=self.time-elapsed
    if lastTime>10 and self.time<=10 then
        SendChatMessage("10 sec left, blow EVERYTHING","YELL")
        return
    end
    if lastTime>20 and self.time <=20 then
        SendChatMessage("Half way mark reached","YELL")
        return
    end
    if lastTime>30 and self.time <=30 then
        SendChatMessage("10 sec passed","YELL")
        return
    end
    if self.time <= 0 then
        SendChatMessage("Bloodlist has ended - have a nice day", "YELL")
        self:Hide()
    end
end)
a:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
    local arg = {...}
    self.guid = self.guid or UnitGUID("player")
    if (arg[2] == "SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS") and (arg[3] == self.guid) and (arg[9] == 2825) then
        self.time = 40
        self:Show()
        SendChatMessage("BLOODLUST has started, 40 sec of fun time!","YELL")
    end
end)
a:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED")

How to use. Untested. Report back with issues.

I have done say in the HowTo. It shows up in the addon list, but when I cast bloodlust in the game,. there arent comming any text with it.

maybe a /yell could help here, it's not like you ever use BL outside of a party/raid setting. it stays in the instance.

I've adjusted the script above a bit. Make sure LUA errors are turned on (ESC -> Interface -> Help).

[lungo]

I get :
Message: Interface\AddOns\Bloodlust_Anounce\Bloodlust_Anounce.lua:9: unexpected symbol near 'if'
Time: 11/25/10 18:56:58
Count: 1
Stack: [C]: ?

Locals:

When I turn the Show Lua Error on.

I just ran an instance and it was the only error I got for that one.

Code fixed above again.

And now it works like a charm. Thanks guys. Really awesome that you helped me with it... and basicly wrote me an addon!

Edit: Just a though. Can I make it, so that when in no party, then it will yell. In party it will be in gruop and in raid in raidchat?

Or where do you recomment I should look for it if I want to try myself and work with it?

The LUA manual and the WoW API doc.

As for that, replace all the "YELL"s in the code with:

GetNumRaidMembers()>0 and "RAID" or GetNumPartyMembers()>0 and "PARTY" or "YELL"

Again, Thanks.

Finaly I can use it again and get that more flawor in the bloodlust

honestly if I saw a shaman that said all that stuff while bloodlust was up I would laugh... but to each his own I suppose.

Ok so two questions:

1) does that code still work?
2) Can it be reversed?


I'm trying to create (and by trying...I'm trying to figure out WTF a lua is to do this) an addon that when pushed will yell "BLOODLUST IN X SECONDS!"
Then wait X seconds and cast BL

Would love it even more if it would kick off a DBM /pull 5 then cast...but that's not required.


We want to give everyone a chance to get their Terroguards, Armies, Stampedes and Elementals out before I pop it.


Thanks to anyone who can assist me.

Not possible. Code executed from a macro or addon is forbidden to activate spells in that manner.The closest you can get is a DBM pull timer that counts down and then you, yourself, activates Bloodlust.

BAH! Figured it was something like that...
