Would just need a different value inside that speed:text line, would be actually simpler than that since you would just have to put the variable name in there, with no calculation needed.

actualy you would need

Code:

texts = require('texts')
speed = texts.new(settings)
speed:show()

windower.register_event('prerender', function()
    local me = windower.ffxi.get_mob_by_target('me')
    if me then
        speed:text('%+.0f %%':format(100*(me.movement_speed / 5 - 1)))
        speed:show()
    else
        speed:hide()
    end
end)

but im not sure how every thing is done

Code:

function user_post_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if buffactive['Reive Mark'] and spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
        equip(sets.reive)
	add_to_chat(104, 'Firing main cannon.')
    end
end

Because if that's right, it's not going off.

**kenshyn** · 2014-09-02 08:36

Any way to check if a spell been interrupted and where would be the best place to check it? Guess could just check for recast on most but not instant casts.

**JSHidaka** · 2014-09-02 09:54

If spell.interrupted then... End
Inside aftercast function

**Suteru** · 2014-09-02 14:56

Doesn't seem to be calling user_post_precast.

Is there a newer version of Includes I might not be using?

e: grabbed the latest I could find on Github (19 days old) and still nothing.

**Sechs** · 2014-09-02 17:38

Since this probably wouldn't belong into normal Timers, I want to track RUN's runes with the custom window of Timers.
What would I have to do in Gearswap? Anybody already has such a rule?
It should follow these rules:

1) Up to three runes are tracked. No specific names, just Rune 1, Rune 2, Rune 3.
2) If 3 runes are already up and a fourth is used, Rune 1 = Rune 2, Rune 2 = Rune 3, and Rune 3 = 5 mins (that's the duration of a rune)
3) If Swipe is used, The Last Rune (which can be 1, 2, or 3 according to how many runes are up) needs to be cancelled from the tracking window
4) If Lunge is used, all 3 runes need to disappear from the tracking
5) If rune 1 expires (>5 mins occurr) then Rune 1 = Rune 2, Rune 2 = Rune 3 and Rune 3 stops being tracked

Can't think of anything else. They should always be sorted and sorting should change dynamically according to use and hmm, what else. Oh yeah of course timers need to go down (from 5 mins to 0)

If nobody already made such a thing, I think I might be able to do it myself but I need someone to teach me how to handle stuff in the Custom window of Timers.

**JSHidaka** · 2014-09-02 18:02

Byrth's code for custom timers for songs might give you an idea, at least 1,2 are doable coz is most likely tracking the songs(3-4 songs) 3,4 is just to clear timers.. so easy, 5, guess that is done auto in 1,2

**Sechs** · 2014-09-03 01:17

Where do I find that? In Byrth's BRD example Lua?
I think I'm gonna need at least 4 variables for this
Rune1, Rune2, Rune3 and RuneN, last one tracking the number of currently active runes.
RuneN would be used to apply the different behaviour since it seems to me that's the key condition that needs to be checked.

Yes I think it's in there, but I cannot grasp much out of it.
I kinda need to know what's the syntax command to create a custom timer, the syntax command to modify an already existing one and the syntax command to delete an existing one.

Also I noticed something I never saw before in Byrth's Lua

Code:

ear2={name="Gifted Earring",order=7}

What is this for? It was inside a set, he used that in a lot of slots for many sets, with different values of course.

it sets the order of equiping items
you can find data on this in Advanced sets tables.txt in the GearSwap\beta_examples_and_information folder

**Sechs** · 2014-09-03 02:08

I'll have a look. But what would the purpose of altering the equip order be? What do you gain from that?

**Motenten** · 2014-09-03 04:20

Maintaining maximum HP/MP.

**Sechs** · 2014-09-03 04:49

Oh that's cool. I used to do it long time ago on my SCH when MP was a much bigger issue for me (Galka). I also remember that very often I was choosing slightly worse items (as long as the difference wasn't huge) just because they had +mp on them and was trying to take into consideration those aspects and the order while swapping gear in my sets.

Kinda stopped bothering after the ilevel patch, but it's a nice addition, think I will sort my mage jobs sets in sight of this new thing.
What's the syntax?

slot=(name="item name", order=number) ?

from what I did understand, all runes have the timer of the last rune, if so, check this

Code:

function aftercast(spell,action)
	 if spell.type and spell.type == 'Rune' and spell.target and spell.target.type:upper() == 'SELF' then
        local t = os.time()
		local timer_reg = {}
        local tempreg = {}
        for i,v in pairs(timer_reg) do
            if v < t then tempreg[i] = true end
        end
        for i,v in pairs(tempreg) do
            timer_reg[i] = nil
        end
        
        local dur = 300 --5 mins by default? --calculate_duration(spell.name)
        if timer_reg[spell.type] then
                send_command('timers delete "'..spell.type..'"')
                timer_reg[spell.type] = t + dur
                send_command('timers create "'..spell.type..'" '..dur..' down')
        else
            local maxsongs = 3 -- did remove everything else since max runes are 3.. At lvl 99... so this consider you are able to have 3
            
            if maxsongs < table.length(timer_reg) then
                maxsongs = table.length(timer_reg)
            end
            
            if table.length(timer_reg) < maxsongs then
                timer_reg[spell.type] = t+dur
                send_command('timers create "'..spell.type..'" '..dur..' down')
            else
                local rep,repsong
                for i,v in pairs(timer_reg) do
                    if t+dur > v then
                        if not rep or rep > v then
                            rep = v
                            repsong = i
                        end
                    end
                end
                if repsong then
                    timer_reg[repsong] = nil
                    send_command('timers delete "'..repsong..'"')
                    timer_reg[spell.type] = t+dur
                    send_command('timers create "'..spell.type..'" '..dur..' down')
                end
            end
        end
    end	
end

just did this before work(so didnt work it alot.. was a quick "fix"), was trying to figure how to count how many runes I have actived, so could change the timer to looks like the Custom aftermath, and show for ex, if you have 3 runes with 4 mins 40 sec left: "Rune (3): 4:40 " (but no time or idea how to do it atm lol)

and to reset/delete the timers, this function when you use swipe and the other Ja...

Code:

function reset_timers()
		for i,v in pairs(timer_reg) do
			send_command('timers delete "'..i..'"')
		end
	timer_reg = {}
end

edit: the code was to work with spell.name, but since same name JA will overwrite same JA in timers (didnt stop to look where was that code), I did change it to spell.type so it show a single "Rune" timers, so the reset timers function with the current code... is kind of overworked since you can just delete the single custom timer named "Rune" after the JA's, when I get home will try to play a little more with it, but probably this give some idea how to make it better

**Sechs** · 2014-09-03 07:52

No each rune has its own independent time, and the duration is 5 mins.
Still you gave quite some nice ideas, gonna work on it. And also gonna peek into nitrous's pup add-on, autocontrol. It does almost the same thing but for pup maneuvers.
Thing is that aside different durations they're pretty much the same thing, with runes being a bit more complex since you can "spend" them with the two jas I mentioned and two more I forgot about (rayke and gambit)

**dlsmd** · 2014-09-03 08:09

@Sechs
if your still looking for a way to build a display in your gearswap here is the code i am using

Spoiler: show

you will need to eather set your x/y pos manually or add a way to save that data

this is how i did mine (this saves both my varables i want to keep and the pos of my display)

Spoiler: show

Hmmm well just change .type for .name and it will track different runes, btw what was the way to know how many buff you have on? Tried buffactive[buff] but didn't work,

If I Can figure out that, it fix "everything"

**Sechs** · 2014-09-03 09:34

To track how many I have I was thinking to use a fourth variable, and somehow use a line like this:

RuneN = RuneN+1.
When they expire I would use RuneN = RuneN-1
When I use Swipe it would be RuneN = RuneN-1
And when I consume them, and at the beginning of my Lua, I would put RuneN = 0

There are some strange things to handle. Like for instance if a rune expires it's Rune1 that gets deleted (first one I used), but if I use Swipe it's Rune3 (the last one).
Meh, I'll work on it when I get some time.
For the time being I can only thank you for the ideas :D

@dlsmd
Yes still looking for that, thanks for sharing, gonna test it asap

With that variable "casting" displayed for a while I'm gonna get an idea of how many packets I lose on average.
