To explain again correctly I have two custom functions:
set_dagger() ==> sets the dagger to be used offhand in my TP sets while /NIN or /DNC
set_idle_mode(sub_job) ==> sets a few things, among which my idle gear according to my subjob.


set_dagger gets called from:
1) set_idle_mode (if sj is /NIN or /DNC)
2) from two different self commands

set_idle_mode gets called from:
1) at the end of function get_sets()
2) within function sub_job_change


Can see it for yourself in the pastebin I linked on top.

i could never get dynamic sets to work right so i had to edit the actual table of the set directly just like i do in my smn lua

Spoiler: show

function get_sets()
	sets.Engaged = {
		main="Eminent Pole",
		sub="Danger Grip",
		head="Tema. Headband",
		body="Temachtiani Shirt",
		hands="Temachtiani Gloves",
		legs="Temachtiani Pants",
		feet="Temachtiani Boots",
		neck={ name="Wivre Gorget", augments={'"Subtle Blow"+4','MP+3',}},
		waist="Mrc.Cpt. Belt",
		left_ear="Signal Pearl",
		right_ear="Ardent Earring",
		left_ring="Leather Ring",
		right_ring="Prouesse Ring"
	}
	sets.Idle = {
		main="Eminent Pole",
		sub="Danger Grip",
		head="Tema. Headband",
		body="Temachtiani Shirt",
		hands="Temachtiani Gloves",
		legs="Temachtiani Pants",
		feet="Temachtiani Boots",
		neck={ name="Wivre Gorget", augments={'"Subtle Blow"+4','MP+3',}},
		waist="Mrc.Cpt. Belt",
		left_ear="Signal Pearl",
		right_ear="Ardent Earring",
		left_ring="Leather Ring",
		right_ring="Prouesse Ring"
	}
	sets.Resting = {
		main="Dark Staff",
		sub="Danger Grip",
		head="Tema. Headband",
		body="Temachtiani Shirt",
		hands="Temachtiani Gloves",
		legs="Temachtiani Pants",
		feet="Temachtiani Boots",
		neck={ name="Wivre Gorget", augments={'"Subtle Blow"+4','MP+3',}},
		waist="Mrc.Cpt. Belt",
		left_ear="Sanative Earring",
		right_ear="Ardent Earring",
		left_ring="Rajas Ring",
		right_ring="Prouesse Ring",
		back="Jester's Cape",
		}
	Pettype = {}
	Pettype.Summon = {}
	Pettype.Summon.weapon = {
		['None'] = "Eminent Pole",
		['Fire'] = "Atar III",
		['Ice'] = "Vourukasha III",
		['Wind'] = "Vayuvata III",
		['Earth'] = "Vishrava III",
		['Thunder'] = "Apamajas III",
		['Water'] = "Haoma III",
		['Light'] = "Arka III",
		['Dark'] = "Xsaeta III"
	}
	Changesumstaff = false --Togle with //gs c tchangeSMNstaff (true for change staves, false for do not change staves)
end
function pet_change(pet,gain)
	if Changesumstaff then
		if gain then
			sets.Engaged.main = Pettype.Summon.weapon[pet.element]
			sets.Idle.main = Pettype.Summon.weapon[pet.element]
			equip(sets[player.status])
		else
			sets.Engaged.main = Pettype.Summon.weapon["None"]
			sets.Idle.main = Pettype.Summon.weapon["None"]
			equip(sets[player.status])
		end
	end
end

i think this is because get_sets() is only called when you first change jobs and even if you call it later it will not change the gear because with somthing like this

Spoiler: show

	sets.Engaged = {
		main=pet_weapon,
		sub="Danger Grip",
		head="Tema. Headband",
		body="Temachtiani Shirt",
		hands="Temachtiani Gloves",
		legs="Temachtiani Pants",
		feet="Temachtiani Boots",
		neck={ name="Wivre Gorget", augments={'"Subtle Blow"+4','MP+3',}},
		waist="Mrc.Cpt. Belt",
		left_ear="Signal Pearl",
		right_ear="Ardent Earring",
		left_ring="Leather Ring",
		right_ring="Prouesse Ring"
	}
	pet_weapon = "Eminent Pole"
	Pettype = {}
	Pettype.Summon = {}
	Pettype.Summon.weapon = {
		['None'] = "Eminent Pole",
		['Fire'] = "Atar III",
		['Ice'] = "Vourukasha III",
		['Wind'] = "Vayuvata III",
		['Earth'] = "Vishrava III",
		['Thunder'] = "Apamajas III",
		['Water'] = "Haoma III",
		['Light'] = "Arka III",
		['Dark'] = "Xsaeta III"
	}


function pet_change(pet,gain)
	if Changesumstaff then
		if gain then
			pet_weapon = Pettype.Summon.weapon[pet.element]
			equip(sets[player.status])
		else
			pet_weapon = Pettype.Summon.weapon["None"]
			equip(sets[player.status])
		end
	end
end

even if you run get_sets() again
main=pet_weapon,
is already changed to
main= "Eminent Pole",
even if you use //gs r to reset gearswap it will set it back to the default item you have in pet_weapon

[Sechs]

Hmm I don't know of course but I'm kinda leaning for a different cause, at least for my case. The player.inventory does work and does update, likewise the var I use to handle the only dynamic field of my sets does seem to work.
The problem here is in player.inventory. It gets correctly updated if the custom function is called from certain parts of the lua, but not from others.


I'm not looking for scapegoats but I think the only thing which could possibly cause such a strange issue has be a small somewhere in gearswap

[Byrthnoth]

If you are calling it from a raw registered event, it will not be updated. Otherwise it should be current.

[dlsmd]

Sechs is calling it from the sub_job_change(new,old) function and the get_sets function

Almost!
I explained everything HERE in detail.
Can even check my Lua if the details I wrote are not enough.

Byrth, does my situation fit your description? (I don't know what a "raw unregistered event" is)

[Byrthnoth]

Hmmm.... If you open an issue then I will know to look into it. I may not refresh globals before that event is called.

[Sechs]

I wad kinda trying to understand if it was an issue with my lua or with GS before opening a ticket, but I'm more confident about that now :D

[Motenten]

Yeah, globals aren't being refreshed before that call. Sorry, forgot to post that after yesterday's post.


On a separate note, I've pushed my revamped library to dev. The updated job files are on the dev branch of my repository. It'll take a bit of work to update your files (for those using my include library), but I also worked out a way to allow them to still function under the old library until they were updated.

I'll put together some upgrade notes on the wiki.

[Trumpy]

Just something i thought might be useful to myself:

Is there a way to have Gear Swap Print out in the chat log how much ammo you have in your bag? Like for example say when i engage a monster it prints out in echo or something "You have 78 Iron Arrows 54 Bullets and 32 Black Bolts." It's Ok if i have to specify which ammo in the code as well.

Other than having a command to //findall :Mycharacter iron arrow every time i engage.

[Sechs]

You don't feel comfortable using specific addons to track ammo on screen? (yes, there is one for Shihei/Cards and afair it should work for whatever ammo you want as well, just need to configure it)

[Trumpy]

Oh, there is already some addons and such... lemme check for them. As long as it isnt Find (which does what i want, but it always ends up crashing me for I have no idea why).


EDIT: On looking i didnt see anything in the launcher that does this (not countin find which i know it does but it crashes me, I might try it again cause its been a while maybe its fixed for me.)

On another note, for weaponskills:
I have a bunch of specific weaponskill sets that equip(sets.WS[spell.name]) takes care of, but i am not so sure how to do the rest. What i would like is if there was a gear set for that specific WS, i would like it to check if its a dagger or an axe WS and use either equip(sets.WS.Dagger) or equip(sets.WS.Axe). I am jsut not sure the proper terms to use to check which skill type the WS is, can anyone help me?

if spell.type == "WeaponSkill" then
		if sets.WS[spell.name] then
			equip(sets.WS[spell.name])
			send_command('@input /echo <tp> % '..spell.name..' @ <t>!')
		else
			equip(sets.WS.Dagger)
			send_command('@input /echo <tp> % '..spell.name..' @ <t>!')
		end
	end

Okay so I'm new to gearswap and lua and I have a question about Kinematics's THF gearswap lua. I'm basically going through it little by little and getting an understanding of how everything works. The first thing I don't get is the Evasion sets or anything Evasion in the lua file. I understand that f9 and alt f9 cycle through ACC/Normal gear for tp/ws but I don't even know how to trigger the evasion set to equip.

I can't post links I don't have 10 posts.

@Trumpy
I haven't been using it for quite a while. I used it for Shihei at the time but when messing with it noticed you could use it to on-screen track virtually anything.
I'm afraid it was Find, just like you said. Not even sure that's even supported any longer =/
I apologize then.

There are two types of evasion sets: DefenseMode (which is being renamed HybridMode in the next rewrite), which is Ctrl-F9, and PhysicalDefenseMode, which is F10 (may need to cycle the type of physical defense mode with Ctrl-F10), and is turned off with Alt-F12. The basic defense mode is for constructing hybrid TP sets (eg: sets.engaged.Acc.Evasion). The full defense mode overrides all standard TP modes, and remains in place until explicitly turned off (even during idle).

[rrbnsf]

Something weird here.

Turned on the Gearswap debugging to see what it was doing, got a 'You do not have access to that spell (Hailstorm) message.

99WHM/SCH, so it's a castable spell.

[dlsmd]

that is a bug that needs to be reported to byrth

[JSHidaka]

And need to be reported in the bug tracker

@Motenten
I need to help a nooby friend on GS. I tried to give him all the generic information I could and I guided him to how to use your files, where to find your repository etc.
He's asking me other things I have no clue about (how to create sidecar files, where to find a list of commands/hotkeys to cycle and swap through sets and modes etc).
Do you have a generic or specific guide for your files somewhere so I can point him to that?
