Any way to detect how much Hold Breath is left? : IV

When swimming under water, is there a script command to detect how much of the blue bar is left? (how close you are to drowning!)

Only thing I can think of is to time how long the bar takes to go down, and then run a timer script that's invalidated if you go out of water or cast a water breathing spell.

You can look it up directly from the xml.

The current breath left is stored in "breath_progress\breath_progress_ribbon\user1", so you can read its value with:

set breathLeft to GetMenuFloatValue "breath_progress\breath_progress_ribbon\user1" 1045

...which will give you a value from 0 (no breath left) to 100 (full breath). Note that the value doesn't update to 100 when above water, it only becomes 100 again as soon as you dive underwater.

Damn you and your XML witchcraft :laugh:
