HotbarFun

The HBF GUI is not creating anything on my hotbars. All the GUI pages seem OK (check spell names, etc) and nothing changes after I click ADD. I have the latest LibSLash and even disbaled all other AddOns. This AddOn looks so useful, please help!

I think I get it. But what I'm looking for is the ability to skip non-available spells (skills) and move to the next spell. Say, the first spell has a positional requirement that is not met - it's greyed out. Fine, skip it and move to the next one. Or an execution that requires an accusation - none built up, so it's greyed out - move on, etc.

...maybe something to do with all my skills are 0 cast time (Witch Hunter)? I've just now tried the OnCast function edit (below), but it's still not working out.

I couldn't get this to work. I tried various settings, but it just shows the first spell and never moves to the next spell. I tried "Tuffer 'n Nails" followed by "Skull Thumper". Any advice on how to set this up? Thanks!

"Tuffer 'n Nails" is an Instant Cast ability. You need to make the changes I outlined below to HotbarFun.lua to get it to advance to the next spell.

If you would like to get HotbarFun working with Instant Cast spells again, try this:
Find the OnCast function in HotbarFun.lua, looks like this -->

function HotbarFun.OnCast(actionId, isChannel, desiredCastTime, averageLatency)
lastCastId = actionId
end

ADD the following 3 lines right after the "lastCastId = actionId" line.
It should now look like this now --->

function HotbarFun.OnCast(actionId, isChannel, desiredCastTime, averageLatency)
lastCastId = actionId

if desiredCastTime == 0 then
HotbarFun.OnEndCast(false,0)
end

end

Seems to work ok for me now.

This appears to have fixed my sequence I was having trouble with too. Thanks!

For what it's worth, I figured out what is breaking HotbarFun. There are 2 main Event Triggers that HotbarFun uses. "PLAYER_BEGIN_CAST" and "PLAYER_END_CAST". "PLAYER_BEGIN_CAST" still works fine, but "PLAYER_END_CAST" no longer triggers for spells that have no cast time. Not sure if Mythic changed the way it triggers on purpose or if it may get fixed later?
So right now HotbarFun will work fine if all of your spells have a cast time. But if you have an instant cast in your sequence then it will not trigger the next spell.

I found that the insta-cast spells would start cycling again if you were really really lagged out. (Like in the Fortress Attack/Defense).

Just a somewhat weird observation. ;)

Its kind of working in 1.1a (my slot #1, 2 spells works), but the rest do not sequence anymore.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Seems to be broken as of 1.1a Has Mythic broken it for good or is there a work around to get it working again. I know some people think of it as cheating, but if you are a SPAZ when it comes to coordinating 5 or 6 keystrokes in a stressful situation, it is a must have. I sucked before... now I Really Suck.. lol

Only just started messing with this, so far can get it to work as described, however, is there any way to get this to work with other Bars than just the first? If not, then 4) Other for me, allow us to set it up to other Hotbars (1-4 atleast).

How to get it work with a german client?

Hi. I'm very interested in your mod but I need to know if something is possible.

I want to do the following: attempt to cast a certain execution (absolution) and if that fails (for ANY reason), then it attempts to cast another ability (fervor)

Is this possible? It's not making a decision; it's following a predetermined cast sequence, the only difference is that if an ability fails it will move on to the next.

So Absolution + reset cast sequence > if absolution fails > fervor + reset cast sequence

Nice add on. handy for my magus. Here's some things I've noticed

1) multiple character setups would be nice. They mess with each other pretty fierce :)

2) a "reset all my sequences" option. Sometimes, I'll get stuck and can't get out of it. Not sure why. I've bypassed this a little by putting in a 10s cooldown spell at the beginning and resetting when it's cooldown expires, but it would be nice to just be able to kick it back to the beginning at will.

3) Surge of Insanity (the magus spell) is only valid if you put a space at the end of the name. I reported it as a bug to mythic, thinking they might have the string wrong.

Actually you can set it per character. Open usersettings.xml in the users folder.

Inside it at the bottom is a setting:
save_settings_per_character="false"

Change it to:
save_settings_per_character="true"

But it will change all mods to work per character and not just this mod. I set it so they are all separate myself, I don't like it clustered, if I want to change something for one character. I don't like being forced to set it for all, so I change it to true so its per character and not per account.

Hope it helps,
Ray

Pretty sure you can get banned for using this addon. Mythic didn't intend you to have cast sequences like this.

To ban users for using this is the same as banning users for using planB. It's the same thing more or less, just different emplimentation. (PlanB changes Hotbars, this mod chances individual Buttons on Hotbar one.)

You'll never get banned for using an addon. They'll remove whatever they need to from within to prevent it from working if they do not intend for you to do whatever it is the addon is doing.

Could make it save/delete the sequences per character please.

Atm, it's unusuable if you have multiple chars, as it's clearing any button you set up a sequence for on with another char :(
