Sorcerer Helper Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.2.0

by: RunningDuck [More]

Sorcerer Helper
An addon for sorcerers that reminds you to keep your minions and buffs up, alerts you with a countdown when Crystal Fragments proc, and countdown for quite a few of your abilities with a duration.
Available for non-Sorcs, but currently only for common skills (no class skills except for Sorcerers yet).

Features

Alerts and Procs display a countdown of seconds remaining
Two display modes:
- Two types of icons: Reminders (buffs) and Alerts & Procs, in two different windows
- In slot order, for example it can be placed just above the skill bar
Scaleable icon sizes, for example alert icons twice the size of reminder icons
All abilities (buffs, procs & alerts) can be individually turned on or off
Option to hide when in menus
Option to show repositioning help, otherwise the position is locked
Selectable if it should load for non-sorcerer characters
Selectable if settings should be account wide (like today) or for each character (new in 2.5.1)

Sorcerer / Dark Magic
- Crystal Fragments (proc)
- Encase
- Rune Prison
Sorcerer / Daedric Summoning
- Unstable Familiar (buff)
- Daedric Curse
- Summons Winged Twilight (buff)
- Bound Armor (buff)
- Conjured Ward
Sorcerer / Storm Calling
- Mages' Fury
- Lightning Form
- Lightning Splash
- Surge
- Bolt Escape
Weapon / Destruction Staff
- Weakness of Elements
- Wall of Elements (new in 2.5.0)
Weapon / Restoration Staff
- Steadfast Ward
World / Soul Magic
- Soul Trap
Guild / Fighters Guild
- Expert Hunter
Guild / Mages Guild
- Mage's Light (buff)
- Entropy
Alliance War/ Assault
- Magicka Detonation

Controls

Set "Show repositioning help" to ON in the settings
Left-click and drag to reposition the windows
Set "Show repositioning help" to OFF in the settings to get rid of the repositioning windows and lock the icons

Known Issues

Expert Hunter countdown doesn't extend (as the actual ability do)
Daedric Curse timer tracks from when it was cast, not from when it affects the target. As such, it might be off by a second or two depending on the distance to the target.
Timers need fine-tuning, for example some now depend also on skill rank
Ligtning Splash does not do a good job to detect when the cast is aborted and usually display countdown anyway
If you use redefine keys to mouse buttons, the abilities that is solely detected by the key detection routine will fail to be detected
Sometimes at load of new scene or mount/dismount, a timer might display in large icon. Remedy is to toogle the ability
There is a small memory leak, so after some time you might have to give command /RELOADUI to clear it out.

Possible Future Features

More abilities with a duration
Modify Mage's Fury depending on targets health above/below 20%
Display countdowns in time order, i.e. 1 sec left before the one with 2 sec left
Add class skills for non-sorcerers, for example:
- Show proc for Nightblade assasins Merciful Resolve (similar to Crystal Fragments)
Summoned creature HP display (currently not possible as far as I know due to limitations in the game API)
Summoned pets now have abilities/buffs that can be activated. If game API allows tracking of this on the pets (I have some doubts) these could also be shown with a timer kind of like how daedric curse works. For example:
- Familiar Damage Pulse (4 sec PBAOE)
- Empower Twilight Tormentor (15 second 50% damage buff to pet)
Cosmetic issue when you scale the icons to 100%, you can see the border frame. If you scale it bigger, you can't see this any more. Maybe add an option to show/hide border and let it scale with the ability icon size.

Acknowledgments
Continued version of SorcererHelper by stjobe (1.1.13 from 09/18/14).
Suggestion and part of code for per character settings: Baertram

3.2.0 Adapted to Clockwork City (Update 16 - game version 3.2 - API 21) and LibAddonMenu 2.0 r25

3.1.0 Adapted to Horns of the Reach (Update 15 - game version 3.1 - API 20) and LibAddonMenu 2.0 r24

2.8.1 Bump to API 19 (and embarrassingly not even tested)

2.8.0 Adapted to Homestead (Update 13 - game version 2.7 - API 18) and LibAddonMenu 2.0 r23
Fixed that Bound Armor and Conjured Ward have swapped places in this update
Fixed that Velocious Curse (Daedric Curse morph) changed name to Haunting Curse and time to 8.5s
Fixed that Crystal Fragments proc didn't show if non-sorc was enabled

2.7.1 Adapted to addition of Ultimate skills for weapons. Are these skills useful to have an alert with countdown?
2.7.0 Adapted to One Tamriel (Update 12 -game version 2.6.0 - API 17)

2.6.0 Adapted to Shadows of the Hist (Update 11 -game version 2.5.5 - API 16)

2.5.2 Updated some durations like Annulment (thanks Tim), Boundless storm (thanks Luciana) and a few more I found.
2.5.1 Added support for per character settings, as suggested and shown by Baertram. Hopefully also Elemental Blockade (morph of Wall of Elements) work properly (hope Luciana can confirm).
2.5.0 Adapted to Dark Brotherhood (game version 2.5 and API 15). Added support for Destruction Staff - Wall of Elements

2.3.1 Correctly adapted to LibAddonMenu-2.0 r20 ?
2.3.1 Adapted to LibAddonMenu-2.0 r20
2.3.0 Adapted to Thieves Guild (game version 2.3 and API 14). Fixed timer for Proximity Detonation (morph of Magicka Detonation)

2.2.2 Added timer for Magicka Detonation (Alliance War/Assault), at least I hope so as I can't test myself
2.2.1 Adapted to Orsinium (game version 2.2.4 and API 13)
2.2.0 Allowed for non-Sorcs, for the common skills

2.1.8 Updated quite a few durations after the update, for example Surge
2.1.7 Detects re-proc of Crystal Fragments (but are there cases where it fails to detect a proc entirely, please give feedback)
2.1.5 Adapted to Update 7 (game version 1.7.0). Removed detection of Crystal Fragment proc based on magicka cost, as other methods seems to work properly, and the cost-based sometimes did not.

2.1.4 New abilities: Lightning Splash. Hopefully better ability to detect Crystal Proc in special cases. Either show repositioning and allow move, or hide repositioning and lock icons
2.1.3 Unslotted but still active alerts are now shown. Repositioning window no longer interfere with clickable objects (like unlocking a chest). Fade out of an icon should no longer repeat indefinitely on any machine.
2.1.2 Bugfix for unmorphed Lightning Form or Daedric Curse
2.1.1 Display option for skill bar order. Icon scaling. New abilities: Conjured Ward, Encase, Rune Prison, Mages' Fury, Weakness of Elements, Entropy, Soul Trap, and maybe Bolt Escape and Steadfast Ward
2.1.0 Beta version
2.0.1 Can lock position of alert and reminder windows in settings
2.0.0 Update 6 required quite some more changes and now it should have a (much?) better key detection routine
1.2.2 Adapted to LibAddonMenu-2.0 r17
1.2.1 Adapted to Update 6 (game version 1.6.5)
1.2.0 Adapted to Update 5 (game version 1.5.2) and LibAddonMenu 2.0 r16

Do you mean that zo_callLater() will call the function every 300 ms?

No I mean that zo_callLater() is not a filter.

Good, that's what I hoped you say. Then I understand.
The initial intention was only to delay the call a bit.
But with your suggestion it would filter out a few calls and reduce the strain on the system.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that

Do you mean that zo_callLater() will call the function every 300 ms?
Then what happen if you call the same function F() that it is declared in? Wouln't there be a recursive overload?

Lua Code:

local function F()
        <do something>
        zo_callLater(function() F() end, 300)
end

No I mean that zo_callLater() is not a filter.
You want to call SH.GetSlotted() when EVENT_ACTION_SLOT_ABILITY_SLOTTED is fired, but not more often then once in 300ms. What it actually does is that function SH.GetSlotted() is called for each event - not immediately, but 300ms later. Code which I have posted works as a filter.

If you want to run some code every 300ms, use:

Lua Code:

EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForUpdate("uniqueId", 300, someFunction)

Well yes, as long as GetUnitClassId() is valid at that time.

It was in the code before, but after Update 6 ESO seemed to have changed again.
Maybe I did something wrong, but I could not detect it via EVENT_EFFECT_CHANGED or EVENT_UNIT_ATTRIBUTE_VISUAL_ADDED, which was quite frustrating as I saw the added visual effect.

Regarding the EVENT_EFFECT_CHANGED I stand corrected!
Will look into how to use it in a good way. It should improve things...

For some reason I got an error as the ingame lua engine didn't recognized LockMove as an boolean, so I found a lua workaround on the net. (It's not very elegant so I will try to fix it eventually)

The alert for the daedric prey evolution of daedric curse isn't showing up for me.

Found the bug for Daedric Prey morph, hopefully fixed in next release.

If possible, do not use global variables. Example:

Code:

local _, _, _, _, _, _, progressionIndex = GetSkillAbilityInfo(SKILL_TYPE_CLASS, 3, 3) -- Lightning Form

Do not create new animation every time when you want to fade in/out control, reuse existing animations. Example for fade out:

Lua Code:

function SH.FadeOut(control)
    if control:GetAlpha() == 0 then return end
 
    if not control.anchor then
        control.anchor = ZO_Anchor:New()
    end
 
    control.anchor:SetFromControlAnchor(control, 0)
 
    if not control.fadeOut then
        control.fadeOut = ANIMATION_MANAGER:CreateTimeline()
 
        local popout = control.fadeOut:InsertAnimation(ANIMATION_SCALE, control)
        popout:SetScaleValues(1, 0)
        popout:SetDuration(1000)
        popout:SetEasingFunction(SH.CustomEasing)
 
        local fadeOut = control.fadeOut:InsertAnimation(ANIMATION_ALPHA, control)
        fadeOut:SetAlphaValues(1, 0)
        fadeOut:SetDuration(500)
        fadeOut:SetEasingFunction(ZO_EaseInQuartic)
 
        control.fadeOut:SetHandler('OnStop', function()
            control.anchor:Set(control)
        end)
    end
 
    control.fadeOut:PlayFromStart()
end

A few information about crystal fragment proc which can make your life easier: http://www.esoui.com/forums/showpost...6&postcount=20
If you use EVENT_EFFECT_CHANGED to detect this proc, you don't need OnUpdate function.

???

Lua Code:

SorcererHelperBuffBarWindow:SetMovable(not not not SH.SV.LockMove)

This doesn't do anything useful:

Lua Code:

local function OnAbilitySlotted(newAbility)
    --workaround for EVENT_ACTION_SLOT_ABILITY_SLOTTED firing too fast
    zo_callLater(function() SH.GetSlotted()    end, 300)
end

I believe that you want call SH.GetSlotted just once in 300ms and filter out all additional calls. However this function doesn't filter anything, if you want to filter out additional calls, you'll have to add some kind of flag:

Lua Code:

local isUpdating = false
local function OnAbilitySlotted(newAbility)
    --workaround for EVENT_ACTION_SLOT_ABILITY_SLOTTED firing too fast
    if not isUpdating then
        isUpdating = true
        zo_callLater(function()
                SH.GetSlotted()
                isUpdating = false
            end, 300)
    end
end

It would be probably better to register events only if character is a sorcerer instead of unregistering when character is not a sorcerer. But it's probably just matter of personal preference.

Lua Code:

local function OnAddOnLoaded(eventCode, addOnName)
    if (addOnName == SH.name and GetUnitClassId("player") == 2) then
        SH.SV = ZO_SavedVars:NewAccountWide("SorcererHelper_SavedVariables", 1, nil, SH.Defaults)
 
        EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(SH.name, EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED, OnPlayerActivated)
        EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(SH.name, EVENT_ACTION_SLOT_ABILITY_SLOTTED, OnAbilitySlotted)
        EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(SH.name, EVENT_ACTIVE_WEAPON_PAIR_CHANGED, SH.GetSlotted)
        SH.CreateSettings()
    end
end
 
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(SH.name, EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED, OnAddOnLoaded)

Baertram Super Moderator Forum posts: 4989 File comments: 6040 Uploads: 78	Thx, will try it. Answer to your question: How about this idea: an option that displays the alerts/buffs in slot order? For me this wouldn't be necessary as I put the icons not near the skillbar but in my seight at the top of the screen. But I'd like to see the effects: -either in the order of appearance from left to right (newst to the left) -or in the order of disappearance (longest left, shortest right)

Omenpapa Forum posts: 0 File comments: 44 Uploads: 0	I installed this addon, so i can track my crystal frag proc properly, and I do love the addon when it works. However, there are a lot of times when it does not show the proc and i can still cast it instantly. That's basicly made me turn off the addon, since I cant rely on it's information. I can't really tell you when the bug happens sadly.

Could you help me with some more debug info? (My char haven't the morph yet

)
* Does Deadric Prey work sometimes and sometimes not?
- If yes, then could you elaborate when it doesn't? (I didn't really understand...)
- If no, then it's connected to being morphed and I better level my char to debug...

As for Crystal Fragments, the countdown doesn't work that well when it procs. I haven't found a good way to detect it yet. (and yes I might have a peek at Srendarrs eventually)
