Programming practice

i would have to agree with croga

Yes, you would.

oops.......... did I say that out loud....? :shy:

No, you typed it

 

[Merlijn]

I have a tiny very simple request.....

When I'm herbing I'd like to get a message on screen and maybe a sound played whenever I get a Frost Lotus. Makes it all that tiny bit more exciting

Think I managed to write this today. Gonna test it tonight (without sound yet but the code already written for it, just lacking a soundfile)

/pray :unsure:

P.S. If it works I'll see if I can write something for Crono's request.. do you also want it to set the loot to Rare btw?

If you need help testing then let me know.
If you need someone to do a code review let me know as well; I'm pretty interested in the code anyway and I do have a couple of years of experience in the field

 

[Cronocious]

ooo, yes please merl looked around so much for an addon that does that but the only one i found is broken and forces group loot instead of ML which is dumb lol

Tested and fine-tuned it tonight. It's "working" yet it seems that the holdtime for the message to be on the screen can't be adjusted atm. Tried multiple numbers yet it remains stubborn to be on your screen for 10 seconds which is imo way to long. Temporarily using the levelup sound btw but can change this to any in-game sound of wrap it up with some fancy wav file

Talked this over with a friend of mine tonight and seems really easy to make. Will see what I can do tomorrow.

 

[Merlijn]

Think it's done Crono. Needs testing tho to see if it works

 

[Cronocious]

oo cool

 

[Merlijn]

Improving the auctioning addon would be nice btw, but can imagine a fresh project is more interesting.

What's the name of the addon you're using for this Joy? And what would you like to see changed?

Can look into this when I'm done testing Crono's addon. Still waiting for a reply on my post I made on the blizz forums for the HoldTime on Croga's addon. If I'm not getting any then learn to live with it

Auctioneer I think

 

[Arly]

Or the one used to bid for items in raid? (Atleast was used when I raided)

 

[Merlijn]

Exactly. I assume Joy is referring to the one Arly is talking about but I don't know what it's called.

 

[Jazende]

Lebuff has it aswell, ask him.

The addon "works" but the only problem atm is because the changing to ML and changing of quality to rare are called instantly after eachother the game forces it back to group loot causing the script to run again resulting in massive spam trying to change it.. Need to figure out how to make a delay in between these for a second or so and it'll work

If anyone has Lua experience and knows how to make this delay easily feel free to give a shout.

Sleep ? (Might have found an answer for some other game, looking into it now)

Here is a thread about Sleep in lua scripts. (Not sure if there is any difference on lua scripting or if it is a standard)

[Merlijn]

A regular "Sleep" as in C does not seem to exist in LUA unfortunately. Need to learn to understand this code a bit better before I want to simply copy/paste it hoping it'll work.

 

[Arly]

If you check the link i posted it seems you can do win.Sleep(1000) (for 1 sec), or os.Sleep(millisec) did you test it?

Haven't tested them yet, will do that later tonight when I get back home but I'm guessing there won't work in the game since they're called win & os.. then again.. assumptions is.... you know

 

[Merlijn]

tried it and unfortunately doesn't work....

separated the setting to ML and setting threshold now so that ML is set when you form the raid or become the RL and firing the threshold setting event to when the loot method is changed but will have to see if that works good enough and doesn't cause the same problem as before.
