The Secret World TSW New York Raid ACT

How to make ACT let you know which NPC gets podded
by Claire-V

here is a way to get a warning telling you which NPC gets the pod and get a timer for the cooldown of the pod.

First go to the Custom Triggers tab of ACT and create three custom triggers with the following parameters:
(TTS (text to speech) will give you a "vocal" warning)
1)
Custom trigger: TTS: pod-Melee
Regular Expression: .*?afflicts Mei Ling with Inevitable Doom.*
Check timer and name it something like "PodMelee".
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

2)
Custom trigger: TTS: pod-long-range
Regular Expression: .*?afflicts Alex with Inevitable Doom.*
Check timer and name it something like "Podlongrange".
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

3)
Custom trigger: TTS: pod-Shotgun
Regular Expression: .*?afflicts Rose with Inevitable Doom.*
Check timer and name it something like "Podshotgun".

Then click "Show timer" in the top right corner and right click on the window to open the options (the window can be placed over TSW during the fight)

set the options like this (only "timer specific settings" are important): http://i.imgur.com/Ykl3lXL.png

For mei ling, the pod takes about 8 seconds after the cast to reach her so i put a warning point at 22 (30-8 ). 30s is the aproximate cooldown of the pod but it can be delayed if the boss is doing something else.
(For alex and rose i put the warning point at 24 and nothing for zuberi.)

You can change the color of the timer (i use the clothing color of the npcs) to make it easier, it's the colored square next to "custom tooltip".

The timer looks like this:
it has the name of the timer, the 30s pod cooldown and the mark for the aproximate moment of podding.

important things to check: the name you put in "Timer or Tab name" in the custom triggers tab must match the name of your timer in the timer tab: http://i.imgur.com/JXll0Yk.jpg
