#BuffTime

#BuffTime is the number of seconds left on the buff selected by #BuffIndex, exactly as its tooltip shows it.

• -1 means the buff has no countdown (Hiding, for example).
• 0 means the client no longer knows the timer.
• The client refreshes the tooltip in coarse steps, about every 5 seconds, so the value jumps rather than counting down second by second.

It is read live: the variable inspector shows it counting down without a new ScanBuffs. Reads N/A when no buff is selected: the buff bar is closed or empty, the client’s buff bar layout is not supported, or the selected buff has left the bar since the last ScanBuffs or set #BuffIndex.

Example

scanbuffs 30018
if #BuffCnt = 0 || #BuffTime < 10
  display ok Time to recast Bless.
halt
