Can a variable be used in the spell box in GSE?

[bkykent]

I've created a GSE variable named test with the following function:

lua

function()
local iciclesSpellID = 205473 -- Icicles spell ID
local frostboltSpellID = 116 -- Frostbolt spell ID
local iceLanceSpellID = 30455 -- Ice Lance spell ID

for i = 1, 40 do
    local name, _, count, _, _, _, _, _, _, spellID = UnitBuff("player", i)
    if spellID == iciclesSpellID then
        if count == 5 then
            return iceLanceSpellID
        else
            return frostboltSpellID
        end
    end
    if not name then
        break
    end
end

return frostboltSpellID

end

I am trying to use this variable in the spell box of GSE by referencing it as =GSE.V"test", but it keeps giving me an error saying “=GSE.V"test" was not found”. How can I resolve this issue?

Shouldn’t the reference be

=GSE.V[“test”]()

you can test this by going /run print(GSE.V[“test”]() )

having said all that rule number 1 of variables: they are evaluated outside of combat. They are not able to be checked inside combat. If you are trying to swap spells based on a buff in combat what you are trying won’t work the way you are thinking. Variables are for things like “if I am an orc use my racial blood fury”
