ItemRackStun

ItemRackStun is a LoD plugin for Gello's ItemRack addon that adds stun/disarm (or anything that causes you lose control of your character or weapon) detection, allowing weapon/gear changes to be postponed until those effects fade (instead of ItemRack trying a few times and then giving up; waiting until combat fades; etc...).

Example:

1) You use a macro which tells ItemRack to equip a sword/shield.
2) Another player disarms you either before or during your weapon swap.
3a) Without ItemRackStun: Normally, ItemRack would just keep trying to equip the weapon even though you can't swap weapons while disarmed. Eventually ItemRack would give up, sometimes disabling your ability to swap weapons until combat fades.
3b) With ItemRackStun: ItemRack detects that you've been disarmed and queues the weapon swap to be completed after disarm fades.

History: Blizzard's default API does not give any information whether a player is disarmed or completely unable to act (the closest is HasFullControl() which only returns false for Fear effects). So, I've created a library that watches for effects (gathered from WoW's DBC files) that cause the player to be stunned/feared/charmed/confused/disarmed and offers new functions and events regarding the players control state.

I'll be adding features as I (or anyone with any suggestions) comes up with them.

There are no options (and I can't really think of any to add), but if you have any you'd like to see please feel free to comment on them.

Change Log - ItemRackStun

r23-Release
- Cleaned up LPC-1.0's code.

r21-Release
- Created LibPlayerControl-1.0 library for API and events related to players losing control of their character.
- Removed chatframe warnings/messages.
- Added experimental Itemrack functions.

r18-Release
- I finally took the time/effort to parse the spell DBC files within the WoW client and compiled a complete list of all stun/disarm effects.
- The chat warning will only be printed out once per effect (to make it less spammy).

(which doesn't work as advertised, basically.) Trying to use it with this macro to prevent spam when I'm bashing my CC button while unable to cast due to being CC'ed. #showtooltip /run s,t,c="Cyclone","target","RAID" if HasFullControl()==1 and GetUnitSpeed("player")==0 and GetSpellCooldown(s)==0 then SendChatMessage(s.." » "..UnitName(t).." ("..UnitClass(t)..")",c)end /cast Cyclone Last edited by Inny : 11-07-2009 at 02:06 PM.

Thanks

You just use itemrack as normal. If you try to switch weapons (or anything) while stunned or disarmed, this addon causes ItemRack to wait for the debuff to fade before doing anything.

For example:

On my Warrior I use a macro that uses itemrack to equip my sword+shield.

Sometimes I would press the macro while a rogue simultaneously dismantles me. ItemRack doesn't check for debuffs normally so it would just keep trying to equip the weapon before giving up after a few tries. And for me, the addon would sometimes lock up and only respond once I left combat (or died in this case).

This addon makes ItemRack check for stun/disarm/etc debuffs and makes it wait for those effects to fade before attempting to swap weapons.

Currently, ItemRack (or anything, really; including blizzards own macros) doesn't deal very well when you get stunned/disarmed halfway through a swap, or when you try to start a swap while stunned/disarmed. This plugin hooks into ItemRack and post pones the swap until the debuffs fade.

Sorry if this is a bit stupid but I really don't know how the addon works. How do I get it to change weapons? And how do I choose which weapon it changes to? Also, does it change back to the weapon I had equipped before when the disarm effect is over?

Thanks.
