BMG Spell Upkeep for Zmud/Cmud

[Mmm Coffee]

Spell upkeep is the bane of any BMG player.  I loved the class years ago and wrote this fairly simple DB method for tracking spells.  It basically just watches for spell up/down triggers and change the state of a DB variable.  Those variables are reflected on a separate window you can have open to the side of your main window.  You never have to check your affects list again and this can be ported to any class really.  Just replace the triggers and variable names with ones for that class. Again, this is for Zmud specifically but I think it's compatible with Cmud.

I don't know if all the spell triggers are still the same after recent changes.  If you import this it will create a class called bmg and in that folder, a Spellup folder.  Type "sss" to manually create and/or refresh the spell window.  Type "resetspells" after dying to ensure all variables are set to down

The next thing you want to do is create a color trigger in the spell window so the word "DOWN"  appears as red (or whatever you prefer)

Edit: see, i'm not always an asshole

I did buttons, but a window is cool.  Good to see another way to do the job.  Gives plenty of options.

I have a couple of suggestions.

First, you can lose doing #TS 30 at the end of your spells falling if you've got a tick timer that resets off your prompt.

Second, I'd recommend using #CW instead of #COLOR in case you have lines that stack and you're using the entire phrase.  This way it colors just that phrase instead of the entire line.

Last, we have a place you can share scripts if you like:
