the end is that i want to idle in a roller's ring when i have a cor roll on and idle in a dark ring when i don't. does that help?

**vm0d** · 2014-09-09 15:56

Code:

function customize_idle_set(idleSet)
	if buffactive['Sanction'] then
        	idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.sanction)
	end

	if player.mpp < 51 then
		idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.latent_refresh)
	end
	
	if buffactive["Tactician's Roll"] or buffactive["Evoker's Roll"] or buffactive["Corsair's Roll"] then
		idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.roll)
	end
	
	return idleSet
end

this works, but i need all the rolls to be defined somehow.

Ok, the code you wrote won't do anything. The auto-handling looks for actions that generate the same buff as the name of the state.Buff[~value~] variable, and "PhantomRoll" is neither the name of the action nor the name of the buff.

In order to manage the state.Buff value, you have to track things manually. Because this is a multi-multi check, it has to be done with a for loop. This will involve the following:

Code:

function job_setup()
    PhantomRolls = S{"Fighter's Roll", "Monk's Roll", "Healer's Roll", "Wizard's Roll", "Warlock's Roll", "Rogue's Roll",
        "Gallant's Roll", "Chaos Roll", "Beast Roll", "Choral Roll", "Hunter's Roll", "Samurai Roll", "Ninja Roll",
        "Drachen Roll", "Evoker's Roll", "Magus's Roll", "Corsair's Roll", "Puppet Roll", "Dancer's Roll", "Scholar's Roll",
        "Bolter's Roll", "Caster's Roll", "Courser's Roll", "Blitzer's Roll", "Tactician's Roll", "Allies' Roll",
        "Miser's Roll", "Companion's Roll", "Avenger's Roll"}	

    state.Buff.PhantomRoll = has_phantom_roll()
end

function job_update(cmdParams, eventArgs)
    state.Buff.PhantomRoll = has_phantom_roll()
end

function job_buff_change(buff, gain)
    if PhantomRolls:contains(buff) then
	state.Buff.PhantomRoll = has_phantom_roll()
        handle_equipping_gear(player.status)
    end
end

function has_phantom_roll()
    for buff,count in pairs(buffactive) do
        if type(buff) == 'string' and PhantomRolls:contains(buff) then
            return true
        end
    end
    
    return false
end

Note: The list defined in job_setup isn't strictly necessary; a rolls table is already defined in the cor file.

Oh btw, now that I think about it, dlsmd I think I had to modify some things in those lines to make it work, but forgot to tell you.
First, I had to put the first part into precast and not midcast, or it wouldn't stop from equipping precast gear.
Second, I had to modify something else because otherwise it would produce an error if you attempted to use a WS or a JA (they have no spell.cast_time in the related table).
I don't remember what I changed... I think something making the rule work only for spell.prefix = "/magic" or something like that.
I can watch my lua when I get back home.

you always put the check in precast
i.e.

Code:

function precast(spell)
	if casting or petcasting then
		cancel_spell()
		return
	end
	...
end
function midcast (spell)
	if not windower.wc_match(spell.type, 'JobAbility|WeaponSkill') then
		casting = true
		coroutine.schedule(function () casting = false end, (spell.cast_time/4+.5))
	end
	...
end
function aftercast (spell)
	...
	casting = false
end
function pet_midcast(spell)
	petcasting = true
	coroutine.schedule(function () petcasting = false end, (spell.cast_time/4+.5))
	...
end
function pet_aftercast(spell)
	...
	petcasting = false
end

the ... means the rest of your code

because it cancels the spell then stops any precast gearswaps
and if you want here is a set of commands to unlock it if it gets locked

Code:

function self_command(command)
	if command == "unlockmidcast" then
		casting = false
	end
	if command == "unlockpetmidcast" then
		petcasting = false
	end
end

does any body have a way to split the command given in self_command(command) function in to multipul local variables dynamically
i.e. if command received: "hi how are you today" to commanda = "hi", commandb = "how", etc. depending on how many space then commands there are

**dlsmd** · 2014-09-09 19:50

@Sechs
this should fix all issues

    if type(commandArgs) == 'string' then
        commandArgs = T(commandArgs:split(' '))
    end
end

Produces a T{} table of space-delimited arguments.

would you check them with commandArgs[1] == "", commandArgs[2] == ""

Correct.

I remembered there was a link posted somewhere about a step-by-step gearswap tutorial, but I can't find it at all. Think it was an ffxiah blog or something, but I don't remember who. Anyone got link handy?

Line 24 is "sets.TP"

You wanted:

Code:

sets.TP = {}

simple as that? thanks Byrthnoth. I need to spend a little more time learning lua.

**Draylo** · 2014-09-10 16:52

Some reason the new UL spells are working with GS, I put crashing thunder in my usual spot for magical spells and it isn't recognized.

**stamos** · 2014-09-10 16:55

Edit, got the latter

New UL spells are not working!

**Byrthnoth** · 2014-09-10 18:06

Yeah, I have to explicitly add new UL spells. I'll put it on -dev now, but I'll need to make sure that my version of gearswap is actually functional and synced before I push it live.

**Ophannus** · 2014-09-10 23:03

Using a DRG gearswap, when I activate Restoring Breath, it swaps to my precast, then immediately to my aftercast, then as soon as the wyvern readies it, it swaps to midcast and then aftercast again...

function pet_midcast(spell,action)
if string.find(spell.english,'Healing Breath') then
equip(sets.Pet["Restoring Breath"])
end
end

function pet_aftercast(spell,action)
status_change(player.status)
end

function pet_change(pet,gain)
status_change(player.status)
end

I think its because it thinks the JA is 'finished' after being activated but then when it detects "Wyvern readies Healing Breath" it then updates to midcast and then aftercast.

Is there no way to delay it?

**Ophannus** · 2014-09-11 00:06

Additional info! I currently have the following:

function aftercast(spell,action)
if not string.find(spell.english,'Healing Breath') or 'Smiting Breath' then
status_change(player.status)
end
end

When I delete the above code, breath works flawlessly. I will precast in breath gear, it will change back to my TP set as soon as breath hits me or mob. Perfect! BUT, although breaths work fine, other JA won't swap back, meaning i'll stay in midcast for Jumps or WS, etc.

So when the code is in, Jumps, Spirit Link etc will Aftercast gear fine, but Breaths are weird. When I delete this code, breaths are perfect but JA won't aftercast.

Seems like the

if not string.find(spell.english,'Healing Breath') or 'Smiting Breath' then

isn't being recognized...

**Motenten** · 2014-09-11 01:58

Code:

if not string.find(spell.english,'Healing Breath') or 'Smiting Breath' then

That's because that's not logically sound code. It's checking for either:
1) Are the words 'Healing Breath' (not) found in the spell being used?
or
2) Is the string 'Smiting Breath' not nil?

#2 will always be true, therefore that condition will always be true no matter what you do.

It seems that you want to check this condition:

Code:

if not (spell.english:startswith('Healing Breath') or spell.english == 'Smiting Breath') then
