Send time left on cooldown to chat channel?

[pqee]

Is there any way to set a button so if it's in the middle of a cooldown and I click it, it will send a message to a channel indicating how much time is left?

I'm a noob for scripting but think I figured out how it can be done with a floater.

On_click:
tempCD = CooldownRemaining("InserSpellIDHere");
If tempCD > 0 then
SmarChat("Spell cooldown at: " .. tempCD .. "s",TRUE);
End


For a bar though I'm not sure how to get the ID of the button that was clicked (assuming the code above actually works).

Don't capitalize If and End and TRUE. Use local tempCD instead of just tempCD so that it's not a global. Can all fit in a macro too:

/script local c=DMF_CR(action ID or "Action Name"); if c>0 then SendChatMessage("Spell cooldown at: "..c.."s", "SAY"); end

Well it's good to know I had the structure right. Thanks for clearing up the syntax for me and if I can do it in a Macro it'll be even easier.

Thanks!

I am trying to use this cooldown counter to do something for me. When I click on the button I want it to either cast power infusion on my target and tell them or if it has a cooldown tell my target how many seconds are left. I don't know too much about scripting but I came up with this and it creates an error message.

/script c=DMF_CR("Power Infusion"); if c>0 then SendChatMessage("Spell cooldown at: "..c.."s", "WHISPER", UnitName("target")); else CastSpellByName("Power Infusion"); SendChatMessage("you have power infusion", "WHISPER", "UnitName("target")); end

any help is appreciated
