DIY Combat Engine version 2.0

[synops]

See what's happening here:

[COLOR=#000000]{ name = "Shadow Step", use = (EnergyBar1 >= 20) and (not behind) and (boss or pvp) },[/COLOR]

(not behind) means (you ARE the target of of your target). probably it is not, as you are not a tank, => Shadow step will NOT be used.
next:

[COLOR=#000000]{ name = "Blind Spot", use = (EnergyBar1 >= 25) and (behind) and (boss or pvp) },[/COLOR]

in this case you ARE (behind) because you are probably still not the target of boss, => try to use Blind Spot, but you are still running in front of boss, so you get those [COLOR=#000000]error message "You must be behind the boss".
Edit: So, your code will not even pass below this until you will not stand actually behind the boss, or until you will not become a target of your target (boss). So, here is the place to insert timer.
If you do, go to next.
[/COLOR]next:

[COLOR=#000000]{ name = "Wound Attack", use = ((EnergyBar1 >= 35) and ((tbuffs[500654]) and (tbuffs[500704]))) },[/COLOR]

boss still doesn't have required debuffs => will not be Wound attacked
next:

[COLOR=#000000]{ name = "Low Blow", use = (((EnergyBar1 >= 30) and (tbuffs[500654])) or (tbuffs["Energy Thief"]))},[/COLOR]

two things here. first, boss still doesn't have required debuffs, second: the condition for usage shall be ...(pbuffs["Energy Thief"])... as it is your buff, not boss debuff
next:

[COLOR=#000000]{ name = "Shadowstab", use = (EnergyBar1 >= 20) },[/COLOR]

so, actually THIS willbe executed first thing out of all your rotation( if you add timer to Blind Spot). Otherwise it will be trying to use Blind Spot until you actually don't get behind the boss back.

[BloodyArrow]

Thanks for the answer and for the rotation explaination synops.
So the only solution for this is to add the timer? And in that case, how do I create a timer for my problem?

Thanks in advance,

Hey Suzaku,
found something on first sight without even trying to use it:

{ name = "Explosion of Fighting Spirit", use = ((not friendly) and (combat)) }
{ name = "Power Build-Up", use = (friendly and (not string.find(pbuffs,"Power Build-Up")) and (not combat)) }

there's a "," missing at the end...

also: "string.find" does not seem correct to me...
DIYCE 2.0 was done without those those string.find to enhance performance...
Have a look at the use of pbuffs in other scripts

[Suzaku]

Thanks a lot Muinimula! i guess theres were to obvious for me to c them../sigh

As for the string thingy last tiem i played i used the old diyce and it was an old script i had and i tryed to adapt it to diyce 2.0
i guess i really fail at it, but got it working somehow lol!

Tough i had to delete the battle monk stance and power build up lines for it to work.

Thanks again!

[kraevyne]

Anyone having any trouble with long duration buffs recasting over and over when you have the buff already? It started happening yesterday. I have not made any changes to my file. And have since downloaded and reinstalled DIYCE.

[blitzclub06]

Peryl,
I'm having a problem with my w/wd and my wd/w diyce. Here's the problem, I am getting a skill requirement error. At first my diyce is working perfectly, but once my rage is used up, and it tries to use the skill, I get the error and then all's i do is just stand there and white attack until i have enough rage to use the next attack. I thought that it was supposed to search to see if i had the rage to use the skill. I dont know if i did something wrong but here's my diyce.

I don't know if that helps at all but any suggestions will help. I've racked my brain for the past 2 weeks trying to figure this out and i cant seem to see it, knowing my luck its probably something simple and stupid.

Thanks in advance

Peryl,
I'm having a problem with my w/wd and my wd/w diyce. Here's the problem, I am getting a skill requirement error. At first my diyce is working perfectly, but once my rage is used up, and it tries to use the skill, I get the error and then all's i do is just stand there and white attack until i have enough rage to use the next attack. I thought that it was supposed to search to see if i had the rage to use the skill.

Seems to me like it is working as intended.

DIYCE doesn't search through the skill list you provide, it merely uses it as a priority list. The first usable match will be attempted. If you don't have the energy (rage in this case) to use the skill then the skill will fail. DIYCE doesn't check for energy requirements when actually casting the skill which is why you need to put the checks in the use clause of the skill list. If you don't have enough energy to use any skill, then all you end up with is a standard attack.

As for the message, you likely need to check the energy values you are checking against. Make sure they are correct for all the skills. This can be particularly troublesome for the percentage based checks since even a single point below requirement would make the skill fail but could still potentially give a percentage value that would pass your check.

[blitzclub06]

I understand that part of the diyce engine. But what im not understanding is that because i have no rage on my warrior, it doesn't spam my spam-able attack in this case power of the wood spirit. Now the PotWS uses a very low mana based attack so i know that im not low on mana.
