Neph's Macro of the Week #4: Mathaginator!

[Nephyrin]

Seeing as I'm a nutjob, I always keep a ti-89 near my desk so I can calculate DPS and... a lot of other pointless things.

SO, I figured I needed an eazier way to access the math functions built into WoW! And here it is!

For math displaying as a fading green message of awesome:
/script SlashCmdList["MATHAGINATOR"] = function(msg) msg = "mathmacro =" .. msg; mathmacro = "Invalid Syntax"; RunScript(msg); UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(mathmacro,0,1,.5,1,2); end; SLASH_MATHAGINATOR1 = "/math";

Or, if you just want the output to goto the chat area like a lamer:
/script SlashCmdList["MATHAGINATOR"] = function(msg) msg = "mathmacro =" .. msg; mathmacro = "Invalid Syntax"; RunScript(msg); ChatFrame1:AddMessage(mathmacro,0,1,.5); end; SLASH_MATHAGINATOR1 = "/math";

Now you can do things like:

/math 2 + 2
or
/math sqrt(27 + (19 / 2.7)) / 90^2 + abs(-1337)
If you've ever used a graphing calculator the syntax is nearly the same. Some basic functions:

sqrt(#) - Returns the squareroot of #
abs(#) - Returns the aboslute value of #
sin(#) - duh (All values in degrees!)
cos(#) - duh
math.pi = PI!

/math 22/7 - math.pi
WEE

Enjoy.

Yes I know it's 'macro of the WEEK' not MONTH, but, uhh.... /cast Vanish

I use sky's /print command ;) :P

/print 2+2

I use sky's /print command Wink Razz

/print 2+2So did I, but then I put this together! I like the middle-of-screen-ness better since it doesn't clog up my chat with 900 messages and you can't overlook that it is GREEN!

You could always call them "featured macros" instead of setting expectations that they'll be periodic and regular.

Perhaps even simpler:

mathmacro = "Invalid Syntax";
RunScript("mathmacro =" .. msg);

Can you add this to cosmos? :)

[ncf]

Converting this to a standard UI (However Non-Cosmos specific).

Will edit this post once finished!

Ok.... This is pretty cool but now how do I get the fading green message of awesome to actually fade and disappear?

Spam 3 attacks with no target. o.O

Well it does clear the 3 line UI Error window. :)

I updated it to have a 2 second display time. You can adjust this time by changing the last number in the UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(....) thing.
