Hud Target Buffs Editing Question

[Wickedmonk]

i have been working on a overall hud for all my charcters... nothing too fancy and ran across this line of code in someone's hud so i decided to add it to mine


TargetBuffLine=3,166,95,150,255,8,------------ Target Buffs ------------
Buff1Text=3,166,105,255,234,8,${If[${Target.BuffDuration[1].TimeHMS.NotEqual["NULL"]},${Target.Buff[1]} :,]}
Buff1DurationText=3,315,105,0,255,0,${If[${Target.BuffDuration[1].}>3,${Target.BuffDuration[1].TimeHMS},]}
Buff1FadingText=3,315,105,255,0,0,${If[${Target.BuffDuration[1].}<=3,${Target.BuffDuration[1].TimeHMS},]}

i did 50 buffs that can be on my screen at any given time and it works great... the only thing i would like to add if possible is another line were it will say the name of the person that casted the buff for each buff/debuff on target and if it is my name to make the name a different color...


atm just so you can get a visual of what im talking about what i got now kinda looks like this

-----Target Buffs------
Buff1: 2.21:54
Buff2: 31:36

Buff1 and 2 would have the spell name and the duration is after... i know how to move around the charcters in the hud/change color so none of that would be the issue... just dont know a good way to go about adding a name into it... so for example to look like this


-----Target Buffs------
Buff1: Randomasshole1: 2.21:54
Buff2: RandomAsshole2: 31:36


Would love to know if this could be added to the current code to be able to do that ... thank you for your time

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but to my knowledge it is not possible to see who cast the buff.

I double checked the buff data type and spell data type and in neither do I see a method for finding the caster of the buff.

The only thing you might could do would require a custom plugin that would watch for casting events and when buffs appear on you and try to calculate who cast them and store it in variables. But personally I would not want to be the one to try and code that, would be a pain in the butt to get working correctly

I'm pretty sure if you hold right click on the buff icon, the info text shows who cast it assuming it was cast on you after you logged in. I think this info is available without MQ.

yes im actually trying to find a way to do away with the Buffs under the target window is all i was doing
