Motenten,
I'm using your blm file and have a small question. Here's what I have, it's on my pastebin.

http://pastebin.com/Yp3fraWT

On line 41 I added Ice Spells, then on line 232 I added a midcast Ice set so that I can use my Ngqoqwanb Staff.
On the midcast functon I tried a few different things but nothing seems to work, so I removed it. No matter what I do i cast in my elemental Magic set. From the testing I did this staff does better for ice nukes then the JSE one I have. Could you help me out on what I need to add in the midcast function? Thanks

Code:

    if IceNukes:contains(spell.english) then
        return 'IceNukes'
    end

RESOLVEDhmm, anyone having issue with sch not equipping savan't bracers?

noticed my sch not equipping these just a day or two ago

::edit:: just needed to get the newest revised lua; orz srry

**Byrthnoth** · 2014-06-09 06:24

GearSwap was not accounting for the fact that items are unequipped automatically when you job change, but it has now been fixed. Hopefully that will fix all the "I can't equip X" problems.

Twice in the last couple days, after changing jobs and getting the proper gear off the porter moogle, certain gear slots wouldn't equip when I hit update (F12). Reloading the job lua didn't help, but reloading gearswap as a whole did, as did unequipping all gear (gs c naked).

Unfortunately, since reloading gearswap seems to fix it, and I have to edit stuff in gearswap files to do any debugging, it makes it rather difficult to track down. Will keep trying to work on it, though.

Ah, I see. I thought it may have been isolated towards that one file, as I haven't seen it happen in any of the other lua's. Thank you.

probably that was the reason, If I was thf then changed to MNK, and did an export set, in the mnk file would appear the Thf Boomerang,

Hey guys, I had a question on my RNG lua. Im currently using Bokura's lua, with some adjustments I have made with my gear. When I first started using it, my barrage set would equip midshot just fine. Lately, none of the gear changes during barrage, but everything else works fine. I'm sure it's something minor, as I have made small tweaks to gear sets. I probably deleted/changed something on accident without knowing it.

Anyway, I wanted to post the lua for help, but I haven't done so on this site before... and I remember seeing threads saying "don't post full code in forums", etc., and I read the note on page 1. I tried posting my link but I don't have enough posts to post a link apparently, so I have to type it out lol.

pastebin.com/yQxfdaCT

Also, I saw a post someone made with notes to equip Arcadian Jerkin +1 during overkill. Would I add that to the same string of gear checks as the other midshot swaps?

Thanks for any help.

If I remember right, (at work now so can't look at my LUA). I believe you need to have a "sets." in front of where you have "Barrage" listed in you LUA. It should be sets.Barrage

**Backlash53** · 2014-06-09 14:28

thanks Drizzt. I will give that a shot and see if it helps.

**Backlash53** · 2014-06-09 14:34

I tried placing the "sets." in front of Barrage in the gear definitions at the top of the lua. That didn't seem to work. I'm going to play with adding a "sets.midshot." in front of it to see if that might help.

**Backlash53** · 2014-06-09 14:39

Lol the sets.midshot just screwed it up and gave me an error. I'm guessing its because its not under the "midshot" section of that lua. Not quite sure why it worked before and I could visibly see the gear change on screen. As of right now, im shooting naked with only the barrage gear in inventory, so if it kicks in, it will stay on. No luck still.

**Drizzt** · 2014-06-09 15:03

Sorry, dude! I'll check my LUA when I get home and post here what I "think" it might be.

**TSFFXI** · 2014-06-09 15:19

From your file, this is your rule for handling barrage:

Code:

 if buffactive.Barrage and equipSet["Barrage"] then
    equipSet = equipSet["Barrage"]
end

equipSet is sets.Midshot.
Meanwhile, these are your barrage sets:

Code:

            sets.Midshot.Annihilator.Barrage = set_combine(sets.Midshot.Annihilator,{},Barrage)
sets.Midshot.Annihilator.MidACC.Barrage = set_combine(sets.Midshot.Annihilator.MidACC,{},Barrage)
sets.Midshot.Annihilator.HighACC.Barrage = set_combine(sets.Midshot.Annihilator.HighACC,{},Barrage)
sets.Midshot.Yoichinoyumi.Barrage = set_combine(sets.Midshot.Yoichinoyumi,{},Barrage)
sets.Midshot.Yoichinoyumi.MidACC.Barrage = set_combine(sets.Midshot.Yoichinoyumi.MidACC,{},Barrage)
sets.Midshot.Yoichinoyumi.HighACC.Barrage = set_combine(sets.Midshot.Yoichinoyumi.HighACC,{},Barrage)
sets.Midshot.Annihilator.SAM.Barrage = set_combine(sets.Midshot.Annihilator.SAM,{},Barrage)
sets.Midshot.Annihilator.SAM.MidACC.Barrage = set_combine(sets.Midshot.Annihilator.SAM.MidACC,{},Barrage)...

sets.Midshot.Annihilator.SAM.MidACC.Barrage = set_combine(sets.Midshot.Annihilator.SAM.MidACC,{},Barrage)...

Sorry I'm still really new at this. Are you saying that there are 2 errors? The first being the rule is a "midshot" rule, and the second error being that I need to put the gear I want worn in the Barrage sets part? If i leave the first part you quoted, does that mean I would need to put the "sets.Barrage" part into the "sets.Midshot" part?

1. You said it used to work, if you didn't modify anything and broke after an update so some codes did change.

2. Equipset is not just midcast, it modify it self inside the midcast function so...

3. Ignore what they said, and wait for who wrote it to help you or Mote since Bokura used some of his codes as he claim at the beginner of the file.

Or 4. Find another rng.lua to use that might be easier to understand.

**Backlash53** · 2014-06-09 15:54

Ok. Thanks a lot

**TSFFXI** · 2014-06-09 16:20

Oops, my bad. I cut some of the paste off.

Code:

if equipSet[WeaponArray[WeaponIndex]] then
      equipSet = equipSet[WeaponArray[WeaponIndex]]
end
if equipSet[player.sub_job] then
       equipSet = equipSet[player.sub_job]
end
if equipSet[AccArray[AccIndex]] then
       equipSet = equipSet[AccArray[AccIndex]]
end
if buffactive["Decoy Shot"] and equipSet["Decoy"] then
        equipSet = equipSet["Decoy"]
end
if equipSet["Enmity"] and Enmity == 'ON' then
      equipSet = equipSet["Enmity"]
end
if buffactive.Aftermath and equipSet["AM"] then
      equipSet = equipSet["AM"]
end
if buffactive.Ionis and equipSet["Ionis"] then
      equipSet = equipSet["Ionis"]
end
if buffactive["Samurai Roll"] and equipSet["STP"] and Samurai_Roll == 'ON' then
       equipSet = equipSet["STP"]
end
if buffactive.Barrage and equipSet["Barrage"] then
       equipSet = equipSet["Barrage"]
end

Here's what I think is wrong: suppose your variables are such that you'd expect to equip the set sets.Midshot.Annihilator.HighACC.Barrage when using barrage, and also suppose you have ionis. Follow through the midcast code:
equipSet is sets.Midshot.
Is there a key named annihilator in the sets.Midshot table? Yes: equipSet is sets.Midshot.Annihilator.
Is there a subjob key in the sets.Midshot.Annihilator table? No: equipSet is sets.Midshot.Annihilator.
Is there an accuracy key in the equipSet is sets.Midshot.Annihilator table? Yes; equipSet is sets.Midshot.Annihilator.HighAcc.
Decoy shot, enmity, and aftermath are down (for convenience): equipSet is sets.Midshot.Annihilator.HighAcc.
Is Ionis present? Yes. Is there a key named Ionis in the sets.Midshot.Annihilator.HighAcc table? Yes: equipSet is sets.Midshot.Annihilator.HighAcc.Ionis.
Samurai roll is not active, for convenience.
Is barrage active? Yes. Is there a key named barrage in the sets.Midshot.Annihilator.HighAcc.Ionis table? No. equipSet is sets.Midshot.Annihilator.HighAcc.Ionis.

Kind of lengthy, but I don't think barrage is being processed for that reason. Was there ever a function that handled the order of the variables?

**Backlash53** · 2014-06-09 16:39

Ok thanks. That explanation makes a little more sense to me. And I assume there was a function that handled the order of the variables. When I first started using it all of the swaps, including the barrage swap, worked fine.

**JSHidaka** · 2014-06-09 16:41

@TSFFXI, thats not the problem just did test it.

the sets work ok. the problem is w/

Code:

                    if buffactive.Barrage and equipSet["Barrage"] then
                            equipSet = equipSet["Barrage"]
                    add_to_chat(123,' We here barrage')
                    end

the problem is "equipSet["Barrage"]" condition, did remove it, and got the addtochat I put..
then did disable the "auto" Decoy/Double Shot because was annoying and tried again, and for some reason worked. the issue is: there is not set for barrage when Decoy Shot is up

Code:

                    if buffactive["Decoy Shot"] and equipSet["Decoy"] then
                            equipSet = equipSet["Decoy"]
                    end

so if you try to barrage while have Decoyshot up, wont equip any Barrage gear.

Now few question to Backlash53:
1. What's your Weapon?
2. What Sub are you using?
3. did you notice if you had Decoy shot active?

and sadly the way the autor use "equipSet" is probably not the best... would be better to used a function to decide it, and the decoy shot + barrage is a problem, I suppose if you move

Code:

                    if buffactive.Barrage and equipSet["Barrage"] then
                            equipSet = equipSet["Barrage"]
                            add_to_chat(123,'Mid Barrage')
                    end

before the decoy code, might fix the issue

EDIT:

http://pastebin.com/tgeVMJZk

yea, "fixed", did move the barrage code before decoy shot's code, did leave the addtochat in barrage @ least for me was working
try it if you want.

And I was using anni and / sam while testing
