How to read from / write to chat log - 5minqq - 06-21-2014
A lot of ffxiv quality of life can be accessed through the chat log / battle log.
Example scenario
When a monster starts casting a skill:
Code:
ADS readies High Voltage.A potential response to that event could be:
Code:
/ac "Blunt Arrow" "ADS"I see nothing in the documented API to read or write from chat log, so my question is: how do I get ffxivminion to read from the chat, and write to the chat log.
A possible way to achieve the desired results for the example scenario I have provided above is to use entity casting attributes https://github.com/MINIONBOTS/FFXIVMinion/wiki/Entity#casting-info-attributes to check what is currently casting and if it matches skills id. However this is not the solution I am looking for is it is not as flexible in the breadth of scenarios I would like to cover.
EDIT 1: I am writing a LUA module and reading from chat log would make my life a lot easier.

There isn't a way to read the chat log...
It would take me like 5 min to add that function, but lua doesn't allow reading or writing to memory either D:
You think there would be a simple available lua module you could import to read and write memory, but you would be wrong...
So when I get time I got to figure out how to write lua modules.

Would be nice if there was an event handler that is called every time a message is sent through chat log.
Just to make what I am looking for clear, I added some jibberish code that doesn't exist. But you should be able to see what I am looking for.
PHP Code:
function OnChatHandler( Event )
local text = Event.message
-- source of text from event (linkshell/fc/say/battle/etc..)
local source = Event.source
if (text)
-- do some stuff
-- do more stuff
local reply = "" -- reply to event goes here
-- send to party chat
Chat:Send("/p " .. reply)
end
end
RegisterEventHandler("Chat.Update", OnChatHandler)
Is there something similar or along these lines that exists?
