GnomeSequencer

Version: 7.3.0.1

by: semlar [More]

This is a small addon that allows you create a sequence of macros to be executed at the push of a button.

Like a /castsequence macro, it cycles through a series of commands when the button is pushed. However, unlike castsequence, it uses macro text for the commands instead of spells, and it advances every time the button is pushed instead of stopping when it can't cast something.

This means if a spell is on cooldown and you push the button it will continue to the next item in the list with each press until it reaches the end and starts over.

When you first install the addon you will need to rename "ExampleSequences.lua" to "Sequences.lua" and open the file in a text editor to add your own sequences.

The Sequences file contains a couple examples to get you started with writing your own sequences, I'll post its entirety here.

Lua Code:

local _, Sequences = ... -- Don't touch this
 
----
-- Rename this file to Sequences.lua before you get started, it uses a different file name so as not to overwrite your existing file with a future update.
-- Every entry in the Sequences table defines a single sequence of macros which behave similarly to /castsequence.
-- Sequence names must be unique and contain no more than 16 characters.
-- To use a macro sequence, create a blank macro in-game with the same name you picked for the sequence here and it will overwrite it.
----
 
----
-- Here's a large demonstration sequence documenting the format:
Sequences["GnomeExample1"] = {
    -- StepFunction optionally defines how the step is incremented when pressing the button.
    -- This example increments the step in the following order: 1 12 123 1234 etc. until it reaches the end and starts over
    -- DO NOT DEFINE A STEP FUNCTION UNLESS YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING
    StepFunction = [[
        limit = limit or 1
        if step == limit then
            limit = limit % #macros + 1
            step = 1
        else
            step = step % #macros + 1
        end
    ]],
    
    -- PreMacro is optional macro text that you want executed before every single button press.
    -- This is if you want to add something like /startattack or /stopcasting before all of the macros in the sequence.
    PreMacro = [[
/run print("-- PreMacro Script --")
/startattack    
    ]],
    
    -- PostMacro is optional macro text that you want executed after every single button press.
    -- I don't know what you would need this for, but it's here anyway.
    PostMacro = [[
/run print("-- PostMacro Script --")
    ]],
    
    -- Macro 1
    [[
/run print("Executing macro 1!")
/cast SpellName1
    ]],
    
    -- Macro 2
    [[
/run print("Executing macro 2!")
/cast SpellName2
    ]],
    
    -- Macro 3
    [[
/run print("Executing macro 3!")
/cast SpellName3
    ]],
}
 
----
-- Here is a short example which is what most sequences will look like
Sequences["GnomeExample2"] = {
    -- Macro 1
    [[
/run print("Executing macro 1!")
/cast SpellName1
    ]],
    
    -- Macro 2
    [[
/run print("Executing macro 2!")
/cast SpellName2
    ]],
    
    -- Macro 3
    [[
/run print("Executing macro 3!")
/cast SpellName3
    ]],
}

If you like one of my addons, feel free to support the cause!

7.2.0.3 - Attempt to avoid a potential infinite loop caused by changing the macro icon
7.2.0.2 - Attempt to set macro icon more aggressively
7.2.0.1 - Fix for icons clearing when zoning (it's unclear what's causing this)
r5 - toc bump for 6.1
r4 - Added a custom error handler and changed how macros are edited to improve support with other macro addons.
r3 - Resolved a minor infinite loop involving UnregisterEvent('UPDATE_MACROS') not taking effect until the next frame.
r2 - Added custom step functionality, pre and post macro text, and made the sequences file (hopefully) easier to understand and edit.

I replaced all the single-quotes to double-quotes in the sequences file and did a /reload ui , and then it started working.

Flarin A Frostmaul Preserver Forum posts: 290 File comments: 212 Uploads: 1	Hi - I am trying to understand the in's and out's of this and I am hoping for some clarification. I would like to fully understand using /castsequence with gnomesequencer. Do all of the options such as [combat], reset=target, reset=45 etc work? Also - what is the expected result of the following (shortened - please no one copy this, I am just posting to clarify I am using the step function): Code: StepFunction = [[ limit = limit or 1 if step == limit then limit = limit % #macros + 1 step = 1 else step = step % #macros + 1 end ]], [[--macro 1 /castsequence spell1, spell2 ]], [[ --macro2 /castsequence spell3, spell4 ]], [[ --macro3 /cast spell 5 ]], Should I expect: Code: (macro 1)spell1 (macro 1)spell2 (macro 2)spell3 (macro 1)spell1 (macro 2)spell4 (macro 3)spell5 and then repeat? __________________ "I will crush and destroy and...ooo...shiny..."

Now I cannot get Shield of the Righteous or Final Verdict to fire from Post Macro (previously they were working and Divine Protection/trinkets continue to work). Curious if anyone else has run into something similar and has a fix, or if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!

does this sound familiar to anyone?

Post the contents of your sequences file.

Although if I had to guess, you probably copied something off of lazymacros, which replaces normal quote symbols with invalid characters if it's not inside of a code block.

In other words, you can't copy anything off of that website if the text doesn't have a black background and expect it to work without replacing every single quotation mark with the one on your keyboard.

Is there something else I need to install? Here is the paste bin of my files that are installed.

http://www.privatepaste.com/350839ec1b

files that are in my world of warcraft > interface > addons> GnomeSequencer folder are:
Core / errorhandler / GnomeSequencer.toc / Sequences.lua

It's possible you have file extensions hidden and the actual file name is Sequences.lua.lua, in which case you should remove the ".lua" from the sequences file.

If you see the ExampleSequences file without an extension, then when you rename it you should not add the .lua extension because you have file extensions hidden in windows and it's not showing you the
complete file name.

By some miraculous way I managed to fix the issue I was having by using three different Sequences files. The add on liked one of them. Thanks for responding to my posts Semlar, most appreciated.

It would be possible, but the addon doesn't currently support doing that.

I'm not even really sure how I would allow that to be written if I did add support for it.

Forgive the structure. Its not my strong point.

If you are lagging when you have more than 3 sequences, it's possible that you're running another addon that edits macros and it is going into an infinite loop, even though that really shouldn't be happening.

You can try removing the contents of the UpdateIcon function in Core.lua and see if that stops it from happening, if it does you should let me know so I can come up with a better solution.

In Core.lua change

Lua Code:

local function UpdateIcon(self)
    local step = self:GetAttribute('step') or 1
    local button = self:GetName()
    local macro, foundSpell, notSpell = Sequences[button][step], false, ''
    for cmd, etc in gmatch(macro or '', '/(%w+)%s+([^\n]+)') do
        if CastCmds[strlower(cmd)] then
            local spell, target = SecureCmdOptionParse(etc)
            if spell then
                if GetSpellInfo(spell) then
                    SetMacroSpell(button, spell, target)
                    foundSpell = true
                    break
                elseif notSpell == '' then
                    notSpell = spell
                end
            end
        end
    end
    if not foundSpell then SetMacroItem(button, notSpell) end
end

Lua Code:

local function UpdateIcon(self)
end

I eliminated macro toolkit seems to have fixed it

Glad to hear you figured it out!

In the future, you can just extract the contents of the zip file to the existing GnomeSequencer directory, rather than replacing the whole folder.

The reason it contains an ExampleSequences file that you have to rename is so that it won't overwrite your existing Sequences.lua file when updating the addon.

I don't know what to tell you, the addon still works.

You say you haven't changed anything, but you updated the addon so it's possible you overwrote the directory that contained your previous sequences file.

If there's no syntax error in the chat when you log in then it most likely can't find the Sequences.lua file rather than there being something wrong with its contents.

That's exactly what I did. Thank god I hadn't emptied my recycle bin. Feel like such an idiot..
