Flamestrike tracker

[Muliercula]

I was wondering if anyone knew about an addon that can track the flamestrike dot on the ground

[Deleted]

/cast !Flamestrike
/dbm timer 8 Flamestrike

[Muliercula]

Oh that is sexy - why didnt i think of that..
But im affraid it would/could get lost in all the other DBM timers - any other mod that would make a timer like that?

[Deleted]

What's the /command to say something in a certain time? I dunno it exactly

It's something like
/cast !flamestrike
/w yourcharname in 8 Flamestrike Ready! -

it will /w you in 8 seconds, I'm not 100% how to do the macro correctly, maybe someone else can clear it up- Just a thought.

This is an alternative addon that puts a number timer on your spell icons to show you when they are ready to go off cooldown.

This is another alternative addon, this displays a bar, the icons will slide from right to left, once they reach the left side that's when they are off CD

Hmmm i got my whisper in a seperate window so the macro - if it works - wouldnt be much help on a boss fight - but thx for the suggestion.

OmniCC only displays CDs, and i want to know how long the dot is on the ground, not the CD of the spell.

I did find Inline Aura but for some reason it doesnt show Flamestrike.

Im starting to think there is no addon who can track it simply because it doesnt leave a dot on the target, but only on the ground.

/in

might be part of an addon like ora3 or something though


/cast !flamestrike
/in 8 /script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\Flamestrike Ready");

that should post a message into your chat frame that only you can see, and shouldn't mess up whispering (double messages) and replying tom yourself etc

[Muliercula]

/cast !flamestrike
/in 8 /script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\Flamestrike Ready");

Ehm.. i might be doing something wrong, but copying that macro doesnt show any text in any of my chat windows.
Im using Prat btw - if that means anything.

It used to be "/in x /command" but I think Blizzard broke that function recently.

Pretty sure "/in" is not part of an addon and i think its gone ... atleast half of my macros use that command, and only recently I tried using them only for it to mess up or come out wrong.

[Rixis]

the /in part is how many seconds it waits to print the message, the /script blah blah stuff is a basic wow API that will just put the message into your chat frame, not in /say or /raid or anything, just in the chat window

i use ora3 (which i think the /in script might be part of) and prat too, you could test the macro without /in 8, if that works then you need something that runs /in

if not, you can try something like

/script print("Flamestrike Ready")


it's more likely the /in part of the macro not working than the chat print, unfortunately i've just shut down my wow as i'm off to bed so i can't test my addons to see which is producing /in as a working command

(if that makes sense)

edit1:
/in definately still works, i checked the above macro 3 times before posting it to these forums, and my paladins aura mastery macro uses /in

edit2:
you CANNOT use the /in command in conjunction with /cast or /use commands (which basically is botting), but you can use it with chat commands

[Muliercula]

/cast !Flamestrike
/dbm timer 8 Flamestrike

Since im most likely to go with this solution, i was wondering if it is possible to change the custom bar for my flamestrike timer - move it to another place so it doesnt get lost in all the other bars.
Ive been fiddeling abit with the LUA myself to change the size of the default warning bars/icons, but i havent found the one for the custom made bar. Anyone knows if i can change it in the LUA?

you CANNOT use the /in command in conjunction with /cast or /use commands (which basically is botting), but you can use it with chat commands

So how would the macro look like if i cant use it in conjunction with /cast?



BUT as i said im leaning towards the DBM timer - tho i would like to change it via LUA - help needed.

[uzumati]

/in was in the Ace2 library it is not in the Ace3 most addons use now if you want to use it just download Ace2

you can use them in the same macro, as i showed above, but not as a command, you could have:

/cast spell
/in 8 /say spell cast

but not

/cast spell1
/in 3 /cast spell2
/in 5 /cast spell 3

etc, as that is basically botting

(if that makes sense)

and i must still have some ace2 libraries kicking about then as mine works without having axe2 specifically installed

[Muliercula]

/cast !flamestrike
/in 8 /say FLAMESTRIKE

Dont know if im doing something wrong, but it doesnt "say" anything

You can setup a custom bar in an addon called ChronoBars : http://www.wowinterface.com/download...hronoBars.html

I use one on my resto shaman to track the AOE healing rain spell.. Here is a clipped video showing the bar in action : http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=vzbpch&s=7

ChronoBars config :/cb

- First create a new bar and name is Flamestrike

- Effect Type > Custom : http://imgur.com/hi2s8&r5ND4
- Custom Settings > Trigger > Spell cast sucessful : http://imgur.com/hi2s8&r5ND4l
- Custom Settings > Duration > (the duration of the spell aoe)
