GINA question

[ClephNote]

How do you determine individual spell level duration?

For example, I have a Pegasus Feather Cloak, with casts Levitate.

Levitate can have a duration of 5.2 minutes @L14 to 19 minutes @L60 (per Wiki).

I'm level 52. How long will my Levi last? Does anyone care this much, or do they just ignore and wait until 60 when duration is known?

[Woodrow]

You could time it... Cloak levi doesnt seem to last very long.

[Vivitron]

I don't use GINA, but spell duration scaling from the minimum to maximum duration is always linear. That is, the duration of levitate increases the same amount each level within that level range. I don't know if the cloak matches the spell.

[Indecisive]

Pretty sure it's 12 minutes, regardless of level, with Pegi cloak.

[TripSin]

I timed stuff myself...

[FungusTrooper]

I also just time stuff myself, I just cast it on myself and start a stopwatch.

That being said, hijacking this thread, is there an actual full list of the regular expressions etc and what they do? I don't know anything about the language GINA uses and would love to use it to set up some complex triggers, but I can't find anywhere to learn.

I know about http://eq.gimasoft.com/forums/index.php but I never get a registration email from there when I try to register :(.

I'm trying to make one that triggers whenever someone says "harm pls" or "harmony" but I can't figure out how to do it. I found one that triggers for certain auctions, it's as follows:

^(?<seller>[A-Za-z]*) auctions, \'(?i:WTS|selling).*(?<item>(?i:Intensify Death)).*\'

So I tried to bastardize that into what I wanted for harmony, and ended up with this, but it doesn't work:

{S} tells the group, \'.*(harm|HARMO|harmony) ?.*\'

But yeah because I don't understand the language at all, I can't even begin to guess what I'm doing wrong.

Edit: Ooh, now that I'm looking at them right next to each other, is it the lack of "?i:"? I'll try that next time I play.

Just a heads up, levi cloak can end 1 tick (6s) after the warning message is sent.
It seems it's less likely to end after 1 tick but it can happen. (on P99)

Meaning, even with a warning you could fall out of the sky without enough time to click the levi cloak.

This is not how it always was on p99. So old info may not apply to current p99 timers/mechanics. And Or Classic info may not even apply to p99.

You can try something simple like:

{S} tells the group.*(harm|harmo|harmony).*

stop cheating

[Baler]

stop cheating

Log Parsers are classic, they are not cheating and are allowed on P99.

stop it!

Levitate duration: 5.2 minutes @L14 to 19 minutes @L60

60 - 14 = 46 (level range)
5.2 * 60 = 312 (min duration)
19 * 60 = 1140 (max duration)
1140 - 312 = 828 (difference)
828 / 46 = 18 seconds per level increase

Level 52 should last ((52 - 14) * 18) + 312 = 996 or 16.6 minutes

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Thank you! I had no idea which / ? ' . s were important and which weren't. I'll try this one next time I play!

[ClephNote]

Thanks for the replies and the help.

I’ve learned that server side ticks can make things wonky. Respawns pop exactly, but builds, debuffs and dots seem to kinda do what they wanna!

There’s no need to make super complicated triggers like that in like 99% of cases. You can just make one that triggers whenever someone says “WTS x” with x being the name of the item.

The trick is you have to make an overlay, then assign that trigger to the category group and add a text alert under the corresponding tab. Now, every time someone says WTS x you will get a text or text-to-speech alert.

I have triggers that do everything from tell me what my backstabs hit for to who is the current rampage target to a personal stop watch. GINA is amazing. SoW/Visions/Temperence/Chloro/bard songs etc.

Superfluous.

{S} tells the group.*harm.*

will catch everything yours will. It'll also get "charm", but harm|harmo|harmony is just redundant in a regular expression since "harm" covers harmo and harmony both.

[Kavious]

{S} tells the group.*harm.*

You're right, I was just trying to keep syntax similar to what Fungus originally had.

You can have it ignore lines that contain certain words. Something like:

^(?!.*(charm|harmless)).*{S} tells the group.*harm.*

[fastboy21]

I use emotes sometimes if I feel role playing (I think my trigger for charm on a chanter once was "Winky wiggles her nose").

I also use /chari ("You are currently bound in") as a trigger...as well as /tell adfadfa ("That person is not online" (? --- would need to log in to check the exact words). Neither of which are visible to the players around me.

otherwise you need to use the spell text --- which depending on the spell may pick up triggers from other players or be the same for multiple spells.

I use /shout Setting Timer for Orc Guy #1 and then I quickly follow it up with /shout Setting Timer for Orc Guy #2 and /shout Setting Timer for Orc Guy #3 and /shout Setting Timer for Orc Guy #4 because when I work a camp it's like lightning!
