Lua - This spell has no effect. (1 Viewer)

[vandersl]

I am probably missing something, but I have never been able to successfully block those no-effect permanent buffs that land when you use one of the passive AA focus items (e.g., "Shadow of Might"). Hunting them down every time I upgrade an item and cast the buff is annoying, and I don't want buff slots used for no reason. For lack of knowledge of how to block them successfully, I made the following little Lua snippet to get rid of them. May be useful to someone, but didn't figure it was worth a resource. Just copy this to a Lua file and run.

local mq = require('mq')

local function main()
    for i=1, mq.TLO.Me.MaxBuffSlots() do
        if mq.TLO.Me.Buff(i).Spell.Description() == "This spell has no effect." then
            print("Removing "..mq.TLO.Me.Buff(i).Name())
            mq.TLO.Me.Buff(i).Remove()
        end
    end
end

main()

Use my Lua. https://www.redguides.com/community/resources/missingclick-lua.2556/

 

[burdsjm]

--Removing Useless Shadow buffs
print("Removing Shadow Buffs")
for buff= 1, 10, 1
do
  mq.cmd('/removebuff Shadow')
  mq.delay(500)
end
--Resuming Toon
mq.cmd('/boxr pause off')

hey Vand,
I don;t want to detract from your own Lua creation, but hope this may help you. I use Missing Click Lua by @burdsjm Whether you use it, or look in it to see if his code can help you, hope you get it solved.

Utility - MissingClick.lua

Helper Lua to get your passive aa's from worn items. After it's done clicking all slots but ammo, it will then remove shadow buffs.

Some players do use them in the first few buff slots in case the mobs are casting debuffs. I hate losing good buffs to bad mobs!
