Platform.spells.gcdRunning

Call as

Platform.spells.gcdRunning(self, now)

Record the dependency Platform.spells.gcdRunning, then call it by that name. A namespaced call does not pass self: use a colon call or pass the object yourself.

What it does

Reports whether the global cooldown is running at time now. It resolves the global cooldown spell through addon.Platform:GetGlobalCooldown() when needed, then uses the readable times (enabled, positive duration, expiry after now) or, when the times are secret, the isEnabled and isActive flags. Returns nil with a reason when neither is available.

Arguments

Name	Type	What it does
`self`	`RMPlatform`	Rotation Master platform adapter (normally addon.Platform), used for its CanReadValue check.
`now`	`number`	Evaluation time in GetTime() seconds.

Returns

1	`boolean \| nil`	True when the global cooldown is running, false when it is not; nil when unavailable.
2	`string \| nil`	Reason when the result is nil.

Editions

Built In helpers are registered on every edition. What differs is the game API they read; where one is missing the helper falls back or returns nil with a reason.

It reads no game API directly.
