I was trying to use buffactive with geomancy effects but I can't seem to get it to work. Looking in the buffs.lua I am assuming its the ones in the 540 ish area that are the geomancy effects. But buffactive['Haste'] and buffactive['541'] didn't seem to activate properly or maybe I just don't understand how tables work. Any in sight would be appreciated.

player.indi.element gives the element of the currently active indi spell i.e. for a light ind its player.indi.element == "Light"
player.indi.target gives the target of the currently active indi spell i.e. for a player and allies ind its player.indi.target == "Ally"

this is the most accurate there is so far because thay actual info is on the server not client side

i use this so i cant cast another indi spell of the same element

if spell.english:startswith('Indi-') and player.indi and player.indi.element == spell.element then
	cancel_spell()
	return
end

[Scrynth]

Is there a way besides custom timers to know the effect has worn off? Sometimes being inside both bubbles I can't tell one has worn off

if your the geo its
if not player.indi then

but if your not a geo it is
if not buffactive["Haste"] then

[Scrynth]

Can you differentiate between haste spell and haste geo effects?

[Byrthnoth]

Buffactive[540] no quotes.

[Scrynth]

Ohh so it does work that way. Thanks very much.

[dlsmd]

byrth or mote any reason why i cant get this to work

function precast(spell)
	if spell.name == "Release" then
		while (windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[spell.recast_id] > 0) do
			stand()
		end
		send_command('wait 1.05;input /ja "Release" <me>')
	end
end
function stand()
      return
end

should it be

function precast(spell)
	if spell.name == "Release" then
		while (windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[spell.recast_id] > 0) do
			stand()
			if (windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[spell.recast_id] < 1) then
				break
			end
		end
		send_command('wait 1.05;input /ja "Release" <me>')
	end
end
function stand()
      return
end

[JSHidaka]

Remember my issue where, randomly, when using my Nightingale/Troubadour macro, some times Gearswap would not correctly swap into Bihu Justaucorps +1 to augment the duration of Troubadour?
Thanks to Byrth and other people we finally nailed down the issue a bit, full read HERE.

tl;dr there are likely multiple things causing this random issue (one possibly being in the Hook) but a common thing probably is the intersection of aftercast packet from the first JA (Nightingale) and the Precast packet from the second JA (Troubadour)

We'll proceed fixing this issue in several ways because it might affect other people and other Luas as well, it's just that nobody noticed.
As you can notice from Byrth's last post I've been suggested to use Midaction().
So far I used this function only once, in my SCH Lua. At the beginning of my precast I have the following

if midaction() then
cancel_spell()
return
end

I get roughly how it works. If an action is currently ongoing (i.e. casting a spell) this will interrupt the precast function and so no gear will be swapped.
With an action (spell) that actually has a casting time it's easy to understand how this could work, but how would this work with a JA?
What is considered to be a "midaction(true)" JA for Gearswap? How should I implement this?

Not like I said the first time you came with the issue, that the aftercast of an action was overlapping the precast of another... And iirc did put the example I use on my mnk with boost, that in aftercast, if the spell is boost, just do nothing..

Probably the same reason I don't have that issue as brd.. My aftercast only trigger for songs, enhancing and healing spells...

Either way byrth said in a ffxiah thread that the midaction had some issues that he didn't even knew what was the problem or something like that...

[Byrthnoth]

It's impossible for midaction() to be perfect due to dropped packets and the like, but I can work to improve it. I was going to do it this past weekend, but the double CP campaign kept me busy. Perhaps I will get to take a stab at it tonight. I don't even know when it doesn't work right now, but I've had people tell me that spamming spells makes it always return true sometimes.

[Sechs]

Uhmm JSH how do you exclude aftercast from "aftercasting" on JAs?
I currently have "Function aftercast(spell,action)"
Do I only need to remove that "action" to achieve that?

[dlsmd]

i can get coroutine.pause(2) to work in gearswap all i get is
this error

GearSwap: Lua error (runtime)
   GearSwap/flow.lua:288: 
 GearSwap has detected an error in the user function status_change:

[dlsmd]

for some reason this wont work
tho i think i know why

what i think is going on is because in both my inventory and the table for ammo there are lots of things that contain the string Bullet

is there a way to force to to make sure that no extra characters are present

i got it working with this

I've been trying to understand why I can't get gearswap to differentiate between self-heals and regular heals. I've recently returned after a few years gone so the shift to GS from Spellcast took some time in itself to get used to (especially with not having to deal with manual /wait adjustments on precasts, big plus), and using the Kinematics template to just get back into the swing of things I've not had any real problems... except self-heal/normal heal. I've looked at a lot of different examples and tested out a few different methods and absolutely nothing has worked for me so any heal is immensely appreciated.

Spoiler: show

function job_midcast(spell, action)
	if spell.english == "Magic Fruit" then
		if spell.target.name == player.name then
			equipSet = sets.midcast['Blue Magic'].SelfHealing
		else
			equipSet = sets.midcast['Blue Magic'].Healing
		end
	end
end

I've seen that written as job_midcast and as normally midcast, and have tested both. I've commented out post_midcast, and aftercast, and even tested flat out removing the portions (though I seriously doubt it mattered since commenting out should have done the same).

Tried that in the past and did again here, but that's not working either. Gearswaps still show it default back to standard curing set.

did you do it like this

Yeah, it was just like that. I hadn't wanted to bug mote directly about this in case someone ran into a similar situation and was able to solve it, but I'll end up needing to.

Thanks anyway.

1) You define a variable called equipSet, which is not valid and not used anywhere.

2) You equipped your own specific sets, but didn't mark it as handled, so the default handling was still used.

	if spell.english == "Magic Fruit" then
		if spell.target.type == 'SELF' then
			equip(sets.midcast['Blue Magic'].SelfHealing)
		else
			equip(sets.midcast['Blue Magic'].Healing)
		end
		eventArgs.handled = true
