Addon Help: Checking Buffs on player

So, for the on_pre_use function that can be defined for a talent, it obviously returns a boolean But, I was wondering how do you check if the player has a certain buff/debuff on them? And a little bit more than that, how can you check how many stacks of that buff/debuff are on and then shove all that in the on_pre_use function? Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all
if self:hasEffect(self.EFF_FOO) then ...
Has for how many stacks you'll have to check the particular effect code; they dont have all stacks (most dont)

I like to add the following function to effects that are going to have their number of charges checked:
Code: Select all
getCharges = function(self, eff) return eff.cur_charges end,
That way when I want to check if the effect is active and how many stacks are applied, I can just use
Code: Select all
local charges = self:callEffect("EFF_EFFECT_NAME", "getCharges") or 0

That's a fantastic bit of ToME shorthand, stinkstink!
