= Profile Event <onSkillCast> =

OnSkillCast will receive a Lua table ('arg1') that is a copy of the skill being cast. You can use this to query information about the skill. This can be useful in "skill chaining."

<source lang="xml"><onSkillCast>
    if( arg1.Name == "PRIEST_HOLY_AURA" ) then
        yrest(1000);
        player:cast("PRIEST_URGENT_HEAL");
    end
</onSkillCast></source>

There are two main situations to use that event. Emergeny casts and finisher.

== Emergeny Casts ==

Using the onSkillCast event has the advantage that the emergency situation is checked after every skill use and not only after every 'skill using round'.
<source lang="xml"><onSkillCast>
	if( 20 > player.HP/player.MaxHP*100 ) then
		player:cast("PRIEST_SOUL_SOURCE");
	elseif( 30 > player.HP/player.MaxHP*100 ) then
		player:cast("PRIEST_HOLY_AURA");
		player:cast("PRIEST_URGENT_HEAL");
		player:cast("PRIEST_URGENT_HEAL");
	end;
</onSkillCast></source>You also could use the 'hpper' option in the skills section to use a skill at a specific hp level.


== Finisher Casts ==

There is no skill option to do a finishing skill. But you could to that in the <onSkillCast> event. Insert the skill into your profile, assign a hotkey and set it to autouse=false:

 <skill name="MAGE_FIREBALL"        hotkey="VK_R" autouse="false" />

and in the event add the coding:
<source lang="xml"><onSkillCast>
	local target = player:getTarget();
	if( 20 > target.HP/target.MaxHP*100 ) then
		player:cast("MAGE_FIREBALL");
	end;
</onSkillCast></source>
