Debuff Timer Frame

[shouryuu]

Well someone asked to script an add on that would display the remaining time on an enem debuff. For example if he casted Fearie Fire on a mob, he would have liked to know how much time was left on Fearie Fire. I came up with this script, which is a total failure, but no one tells me why... Searching for help!



function Debuff_Timer_Load()
this:RegisterEvent("VARIABLES_LOADED")
end

function Debuff1_start()
local sec == GetTime()
local TimeSinceStart == 0
local BuffTime == X
local BuffTime - TimeSinceStart == TimeElapsed

DebuffFrame1:Show()
while (i~=0) GetTime() - sec = OneSecondGap if (OneSecondGap == 1) then
TimeSinceStart = TimeSinceStart + 1 sec = sec + 1
elseif TimeSinceStart == BuffTime then break;
end
end



This will never work but hell :P


Now for the FrameXML

The debuff1_start() needs to be called from a macro. So your macro should look like this
/script CastSpellByName("whateva(rank ##)") Debuff_start()

And X is the time in seconds of the debuff.
