Spell Timer Apps?

[iruinedyourday]

Gort! Thank you! Yes that is exactly what i am after. I spent last night trying to get them to work.. I got one timer to appear for one spell (that I dont even think I cast) which means Im getting close to getting it to work, but I will PM you some questions!

Thanks!

Make applicants time my spells. That's a great idea. Haha hazing...

Best way I have found is to put a NPC name or characters name in with the spell effect text and then name the buff bar thing with the same info. So it will say "torpor on gortimer 14 seconds" or "slow on a giant bat 3 minutes left". My long duration buffs are just left vague and I redo the group and myself based on the one timer.

I have never used game txt triggers and I commonly (before resist fuckery) root rotted 5-6 mobs at a time in HS north or locked down full rooms without using aoe mezz on red.

Get used to the "feels". Channel your inner autism. You know you can.

I am having a good time with these - the only problem is the gd text for AoE mez - level 4 mez- and level 49 mez is the same!! ugh so sad... Entrance is great, because its got its own, but its less efficient than dazzle.

Sadface...

I also cant get it to not pick up triggers cast by people in and out of my group - I turned on the filter to show group spells only but that doesn't seem to have any effect, it doesnt seem to know how to differentiate between my spells and others.

Knowing others isnt bad though it can be spammy. Like its nice to know when my groupmate casts root, or when he does Malo.

Though I would like to have the option!

Anyway, its really good so far other than what I mention!

With GTT, you make *your* spells trigger by begining them with "You begin casting. etc" and it won't trigger on anyone elses.

You make them person specific by using {s} feature of GTT, like EQ uses %t, GTT just uses brackets instead.

GTT is probably your best bet.

Edit: GTT=GamTextTriggers, by gambosoft.com mentioned above

could you elaborate? and I use the spell success as the trigger that sets off timer, that way if it gets resisted I dont get a timer - is there a way to make my triggers work on impact and still only trigger them for my spells?

Also I couldnt follow your second sentence there hehe [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] could you elaborate on that and use an example?

Resists:
if you look 2/3 of the way down on the page when you are making a trigger, you will notice and checkbox called "end early on text" which will cancel a trigger, so for example, my snare timer starts when it sees the "you begin casting ensnare", but on that page I have "end early on text" checked, and in that part I have "your target resisted ensnare spell" which cancels it on resists, and the buff timer goes away.

=========================

{s} is what is called a "substitution" (hence the s, hehe) and all that it means, is that you put the {s} in for the *part of the trigger text*, {s} *becomes* that word. Perhaps examples are easier.

Lets use sow as an example:
I make a trigger, and my trigger text is "{s} is surrounded by a brief lupine aura"
Now, for the moment, {s} means whatever that chars name is, because when it sees, for example:

"Supertank is surrounded by a brief lupine aura"

my trigger remembers that {s} now means "Suptertank" (the chars name)

then I check "display timer" (to dispaly the timer, heh) and in the "text" part I put:

SoW {s}

so that the buff timer on my screen will say:

SoW Supertank

and I can keep track of everyone individually, including sows tossed by others. (sometimes you wanna track other ppls spells, like when someone else roots a mob, its nice to know how long you have [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

===============

I use "begin casting" text on stuff that I only wanna mine of, and I use the result text, ie "surrounded by brief lupine aura" when I wanna track everybody's around me. It's not perfect, but it gets me by.

Rarely need to use dazzle. More efficient, but only if you need to keep something parked that long....which in most grps is not often.
