Not Casting Vaal Haste?

[Pochizzle]

Currently using a SRS build under OldRoutine and it doesn't want to seem to cast Vaal Haste.

I have cast vaal spells highlighted, but no luck.

Is it just me, or is this a known problem?

You can always add those skills to the CR itself. OldRoutine doesnt do such a great job imo handling the vaal skills simply because you have very little control over how they are activated. OldRoutine will simply cast any skill with "vaal" in its name everytime the CD is available This is very generic (and made that way for a reason). If you have more than 1 vaal skill on your bars, im not sure if OldRoutine handles that well, which may be why your vaal haste isnt casting.

You can read up on how to add abilities to the CR here: https://www.thebuddyforum.com/exilebuddy-forum/combat-routines/221570-snippet-golem.html

This is the code i use for each of the vaal skills i have:

private int _vaalHasteSlot = -1;

_vaalHasteSlot = -1;

                var vh = LokiPoe.InGameState.SkillBarPanel.Skills.FirstOrDefault(s => s.Name == "Vaal Haste");
                if (IsCastableHelper(vh))
                {
                    _vaalHasteSlot = vh.Slot;
                }

               if (_vaalHasteSlot != -1)
                {
                    // See if we can use the skill.
                    var skill = LokiPoe.InGameState.SkillBarPanel.Slot(_vaalHasteSlot);
                    if (skill.CanUse())
                    {
                        var err1 = LokiPoe.InGameState.SkillBarPanel.Use(_vaalHasteSlot, true);
                        if (err1 == LokiPoe.InGameState.UseError.None)
                        {
                            await Coroutine.Sleep(Utility.LatencySafeValue(10));

                            await Coroutines.FinishCurrentAction(false);

                            await Coroutine.Sleep(Utility.LatencySafeValue(10));

                            return true;
                        }

                        Log.ErrorFormat("[Logic] Use returned {0} for {1}.", err1, skill.Name);
                    }
                }

In the final segment of code you can add more conditions if you like. Such as:

This would make it cast Vaal Haste only if your target is a unique quality monster (such as a boss or tormented spirit).

 if (_vaalHasteSlot != -1 && cachedRarity >= Rarity.Unique)

This would be for yellow packs or higher:

 if (_vaalHasteSlot != -1 && cachedRarity >= Rarity.Rare)

If you were messing with something like Vaal Discipline you can add in something like this to make it only cast at 75% or lower energy shield.

if (skill.CanUse() && (LokiPoe.Me.EnergyShieldPercent <= 75))

Final Note:

If you are going to use the cachedRarity you will need to place the 4th code section anywhere BELOW the line that looks like:

var cachedRarity = bestTarget.Rarity;

Otherwise you will get an error trying to use a variable that hasnt been declared.

And make sure you uncheck the box for auto using vaal skills since you are now setting them up yourself to be used when you want them used.

While I do appreciate the help, I do not like messing with the basic old routine sadly because i run multiple scripts off of it and it is a foreign language to me.

I do love the option that you can add it to unique mosnters, is it a possibility to do it for all rare+ monsters?

I only have Vaal Haste on my bar, but I do use a bunch of auras, but I still wouldn't mind it casting it whenever as it would help me get across the map faster, and it basically charges itself up fine and easy
Does not look good getting tons of charges for it, but never using it, and i'm not exactly sure why it's not working like it used to

Sorry for the late reply, but have been super busy lately.

Trying to add Chaos Golem and one of these to the SRS routine and now i'm not sure which is better to add.

I like that Laughs (plugin im assuming?) has a option for it to cast before chests as well as casting on rare+ monsters, but would love the option to be able to add Vaal Grace or Clarity like unkown has but seems harder to edit someone elses custom CR.

If i'm wrong about it being a plugin (I see it in the plugin screen, but nothing after i activate it), or one not being able to add different Vaal skills, please let me know.

Edit:

Been using Laughs plugin, and it seemed to work fine but how would I change the rarity of the monsters to lower then unique?
I have 2 on my bar, and it only seems to use one because it won't cast on blue or rare mobs. I tried editing the script from .Unique to .Rare but it stopped working after i did that


Either that, or how would I add the option for another Vaal Skill?
