Skrom's Quote Generator

Version: 1.1
by: skrom [More]

Quote Generator is a World of Warcraft addon to help ease one of my greatest pet peeves: Overspammy macros!

I like roleplayers, I like people that like to put little flavor text with their macros. I detest it when it's every single cast they do! So I did what every reasonable person would do in that situation: Made an addon to make this not an issue! (for myself at least)

What this addon does is semi-randomly adds those flavor texts we all love to the player's spellcasting in a semi-regular fashion with an easy to use in game editor for the texts in question.

I've released version 1.0 here with a few sample texts for the Paladin class.

To access the editor simply type /qg edit
Select your spell from the dropdown list and fill up to 9 lines with your most creative texts!
When the addon decides to add a text to your spellcast (determined randomly with at least one instance ever 5 minutes) your next spell cast will have the chat affixed to it (currently only going to the /say channel). If your next spell doesn't have any text assigned, the addon will merely wait until your next cast that does have text to pull from!

-- V.1.2 Added /qg next
--- this command will cause your next spell to have a guaranteed chance at a quote. Use it in your macros for spells that you want to generate quotes for on every cast.

/qg next
/cast Holy Light


Enjoy, and please leave comments/suggestions for me!

Bug: quotes never trigger with the paladin ability, Judgement.
Ive finally figured out why. The game misspells the word. Judgment is the correct spelling but WoW spells it "Judgement".

Ugh, seriously? Time to write the database update function I suppose... Expect an update within a few days.

Ive been thinking about this a good bit while playing with the addon.
How about a toggle next to the quote line in the edit frame for target or self? A check box or something to say "pull if target exists" or pull if no target exists".

I got to thinking that editing the quote at runtime might mess up some folks quotes.

Good work making this and I really look forward to when this feature can be added.

Hmmm, yeah, you're right. That makes no sense

I guess a way to alter the quote for targets would be it then. Do you think just changing "me" and "you" depending on target would work?

I guess I'm not sure what this would do exactly.

I can see "if you have a target" but "if it's friendly" doesn't make sense. You can't cast a heal on an enemy and you can't cast a fireball on a friend.

I dont know if this is even possible, but id really like to see this feature.

Conditionals in the quote. I mean, make the spell pull the quote if a condition is met. Like if you have a target and if its friendly then get the quote.

Do you plan on adding support for racial ability casts?

Please keep in mind that this mod is NOT intended to be used to append the quotey goodness to every use a given spell. You'll get an average of one quote per 5-6 mins (estimate). You can actually change the update/check frequency by typing /qg update xx (where xx is the number in seconds that it should wait between updates). The lower this number the more frequent the quotes. Default is set for 10 seconds between updates.

If you want this to only trigger for charges you'll just need to leave all the other skills blank. If you are looking for something to add a more definate response from just a certain set of skills you might want to look elsewhere as alas this isn't quite what you need!

Thanks for checking it out all the same!
