Ability activation question

[willz916]

also with boss immunity to fears and stuff it cant calculate time for for the slowed debuff that will be put in we need the new function input to make i work

 

[willz916]

Okay I just respeced to Engineering to see what the hell is going on. Yeah, this is difficult. There's no way to track when it's out. Here is what I'm think as a quick fix:
The Plasma Probe puts a debuff on the target that lasts 45 seconds. Each tick of the probe refreshes that debuff. We could try tracking the debuff and whenever its time left is less than 42 seconds we refresh the probe. That's cludgy as shit, and I'm not sure how it would work in a group (when someone else is applying the same debuff), but it should work fine solo for now.

Longer term, we'll need to write a Spell.DoTonGround function :/

EDIT: it also puts a slow on the target while it's in range. Maybe that's easier to track?

so how do we let him know we need this function?

I thought Frag Grenade was an AoE ability-- does it go in single target as well? What the priority for it?

Also, why do we need Series of Shots from cover? You don't need to be in cover to use it.

<-- doesn't play an Agent, so pardon the stupid questions.

frag grenade is ST as well now and also when you get the buff from EMP Discharged called "Energy Overrides" the cost is free and gives back 5 energy and no you dont need it while covered like i said im noob programming so if thats in there it dosent need to be

 

[willz916]

**opener**
(laze target- orbital strike- snipe-explosive probe-target aquired series of shots)


**priority rot**
(series of shots (always on cd)- plasma probe- explosive probe- interrogation probe- (it procs) emp discharge - orbital strike- (free)grenade- corrosive dart- while things are on cd fill with grenades- and take down on cd when at 30%)

EDIT** i like orbital strike in there

I like leaving it up to the user to enter/exit cover. I could put it in there for AFK mode, but it makes the bot look really "bot'ish".

How's this:

public override Composite SingleTarget
		{
			get
			{
				return new LockSelector(
					//Movement
					CombatMovement.CloseDistance(Distance.Melee),

					//Low Energy
					new Decorator(ret => Me.EnergyPercent < 60,
						new LockSelector(
							Spell.Cast("Rifle Shot", ret => !Me.IsInCover())
							)),

					//Rotation
					Spell.Cast("Distraction", ret => Me.CurrentTarget.IsCasting && !DefaultCombat.MovementDisabled),
					Spell.Cast("Series of Shots"),
                    Spell.Cast("Explosive Probe"),
                    Spell.Cast("EMP Discharge", ret => Me.CurrentTarget.HasDebuff("Interrogation Probe")),
					Spell.CastOnGround("Plasma Probe", ret => !Me.CurrentTarget.HasDebuff("Slowed")),
					Spell.DoT("Interrogation Probe", "Interrogation Probe"),
                    Spell.CastOnGround("Orbital Strike"),
                    Spell.Cast("Frag Grenade", ret => Me.HasBuff("Energy Overrides")),
					Spell.DoT("Corrosive Dart", "Corrosive Dart"),
					Spell.Cast("Takedown", ret => Me.CurrentTarget.HealthPercent <= 30),
                    Spell.Cast("Snipe")
					);
			}
		}

Gonna give it a shot when I get home but what's the difference between !Me and Me
Edit*
Series of shots is a free cast and probably should be in the low energy rotation

! indicates "not". So !Me.HasBuff means I do NOT have the buff (the buff is missing) while Me.HasBuff means I do have the buff (buff is present).

Good to know re: Series of Shots. Is that for all 3 specs or just Engineering?

thx and it seems good but spams the plasma probe when its on a boss or anything that is immune to movement effects so until there is a definitive fix the plasma nade is not gonna work i on bosses and such

Can you get me the name of the other debuff it puts on a target? The one that lasts 45 seconds. I've got an idea for how to handle that. It won't be perfect, but it'll probably be good enough.

 

[willz916]

"Overwhelmed (Mental)" is the name of the debuff

had to do some editing on the code you made cause it wouldnt work with "frag grenade" also a little priority change also still needs the coding for plasma probe
EDIT* changed snipe to cast at above 45% and added rifle shot after it seems to be doing awesome

        public override Composite SingleTarget
        {
            get
            {
                return new LockSelector(
                    //Movement
                    CombatMovement.CloseDistance(Distance.Melee),

                    //Low Energy
                    new Decorator(ret => Me.EnergyPercent < 60,
                        new LockSelector(
                            Spell.Cast("Rifle Shot")
                            )),

                    //Rotation
                    Spell.Cast("Distraction", ret => Me.CurrentTarget.IsCasting && !DefaultCombat.MovementDisabled),
                    Spell.Cast("Series of Shots"),
                    Spell.Cast("Explosive Probe"),
                    Spell.Cast("EMP Discharge", ret => Me.CurrentTarget.HasDebuff("Interrogation Probe")),
                    Spell.Cast("Fragmentation Grenade", ret => Me.HasBuff("Energy Overrides")),
                    
                    Spell.DoT("Interrogation Probe", "Interrogation Probe"),
                    Spell.CastOnGround("Orbital Strike"),
                    Spell.DoT("Corrosive Dart", "Corrosive Dart"),
                    Spell.Cast("Takedown", ret => Me.CurrentTarget.HealthPercent <= 30),
                    Spell.Cast("Fragmentation Grenade"),
                    Spell.Cast("Snipe", ret => Me.EnergyPercent > 45),
                    Spell.Cast("Rifle Shot")
                    );
            }
        }

 

[willz916]

is this not a line of code that is accepted?
Spell.Cast("Snipe", ret => Me.EnergyPercent > 45),

i would like to have snipe in there but only if i am above 45% energy

That looks fine, but it shouldn't matter anyway. The earlier decorator should make it spam Rifle Shot when below 60% energy anyway. Are you seeing it do something different?

when i have that line of code in it wont find the CR which means there is an issue with the code when i take that line out its golden and no it dosent spam rifle shot at all that would be a huge decrease in dps but the way i have the rot set up i went for a pretty long time before i got close to being depleted and doing good dps


EDIT*** i deleted the decorator you had about being low energy looks like they conflict each other

EDIT2** i re added yours back in and lowered it to 35 works fine with mine now

 

[alltrueist]

Okay cool. I'm going to set up a consolidated thread for 4.0 changes, will you post your final version (after you test it) over there?

 

[willz916]

did you re write the plasma probe? or should i use the one with the slow?

 

[alltrueist]

I'm using this now:

Spell.CastOnGround("Plasma Probe", ret => Me.CurrentTarget.DebuffTimeLeft("Overwhelmed (Mental)") < 43000),

It'll recast Plasma Probe when that debuff drops below 43 seconds (it never drops below 44 while the probe is up) on your main target. I still worry that in a group, with another player who can cast this debuff, it'll get screwed up. If that's the case, we'll need to add in an entire new cast call (I could try to kludge something, but I could also fuck that up big time).

word i will put it in

DERP.

DebuffTimeLeft is TotalSeconds, not Milliseconds. So change that 43000 to 43 :/
