Lifebloomer

5 - attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'start'

What steps will reproduce the problem?
No clue. It works fine on one toon but not the other. Yes I want two druids (/lower head in shame)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It ooks fine. Bliz Lua box poops up telling me an addon is having many errors.

What version of the product are you using?
most recent off of Curse

Do you have an error log of what happened?

Please provide any additional information below.

I've delete the Lifebloomer addon folder and deleted the Lua in the toons WTF folder. reinstalled addon from scratch. All other addons disabled. Problem keeps persiseing. Works on one, not the other.

sry if I've done something wrong. I love this addon.

    Very good. We'll have to figure out if there is a more proper way to do this, so that druids can use Lifebloomer at levels 1 and 2. For, say, Hogger raids.

    There's actually a similar issue with the "Dim Out-of-Range" option, which also doesn't work below level 78. :)

    So just edit (in Lifebloomer.lua) the line

    if IsSpellInRange(LIFEBLOOMER_Healing_Touch, unit) == 1 then

    into 

    if IsSpellInRange(LIFEBLOOMER_Rejuvenation, unit) == 1 then

    to (badly) fix it. ;)

    I looked into this. Couldn't figure out why GetSpellCooldown was returning nil for a perfectly good spell. Now I know. THANKS!!!

    this error actually occurs with every druid char below level 78, because you simply don't have Healing Touch until then, which is used for calculating the global colldown in Lifebloomer_GCDUpdate.

    So changing the line (in File: Lifebloomer.lua)

    local start, duration, e = GetSpellCooldown(LIFEBLOOMER_Healing_Touch);

    into 

    local start, duration, e = GetSpellCooldown(LIFEBLOOMER_Rejuvenation);

    should do the trick for now, cause Rejuvenation is our first healing spell and is probalby learned before even using Lifeblommer. Some real implementation of the GCD using some Wow-Api would of course be smarter, but I also didn't found any more useful function on wowwiki. :)

    Hope this helps

    LB rocks! :D
