1) That set won't be automatically selected. Midcast set selection ignores JAs (though I suppose I should adjust that, just for completeness).
2) Even if it did get selected, it *only* is active during the actual use of the JA (Troubadour, in this case). It will have absolutely no effect on songs you sing afterwards.

You indicate you want to equip that set when singing Lullaby while Troubadour is active. In that case, you're making a modification to the default gear selection, which should be applied in post_midcast.

Spoiler: show

    -- Need to add this to job_setup():
    state.Buff['Troubadour'] = buffactive['Troubadour'] or false


function job_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if spellMap == 'Lullaby' and state.Buff.Troubadour then
        equip(sets.midcast.Troubadour)
    end
end

Thanks Mote, I will try it out.

The code he provided is a way to use that helm -instead of- whatever you'd use normally. If you wanted to use that helm all the time, regardless, just put it in the weaponskill's gear set.

Hi Motenten and thanks for confirming.

I want to use these rules to get the helm equipped on corresponding elemental days, not fulltime. My other question was tho, how do I make it exclude equipment sets instead of the ws itself as shown in the example?

Ex. I want to use the helm on Fudo days for most Fudo equipment sets (Normal, Attack) - but in situations I need heavy accuracy i swap to engaged.Ws.HighAcc['Tachi: Fudo'] and want to use another headpiece in this and these (Ws.HighAcc) sets.

In the example it is shown how I exclude the weaponskill itself, however as said I want to exclude it from specific set variations of WS's. Is that possible to do?

Thanks alot for your input!

This is what I'm doing. Mote already had most of the logic in place for switching elemental belt/gorgets, so I just modified that a bit.

function is_sc_element_today(spell)
    if spell.type ~= 'WeaponSkill' then
        return
    end

   local weaponskill_elements = S{}:
    union(skillchain_elements[spell.skillchain_a]):
    union(skillchain_elements[spell.skillchain_b]):
    union(skillchain_elements[spell.skillchain_c])

    if weaponskill_elements:contains(world.day_element) then
        return true
    else
        return false
    end

end

Then you can query the function in job_post_precast() (assuming you use Mote's). It will return true if the day is aligned with whichever WS you're using. You'll have to make a set containing just the helm somewhere in init_gear_sets() i.e. sets.WSDayBonus = { head="Gavialis Helm" }

job_post_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
	if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
            if is_sc_element_today(spell) then
                equip(sets.WSDayBonus)
            end
	end
end

If you want to exclude any WS's or lock it down to only working with certain WS, you'd have to do something like this.

if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
    if spell.english ~= 'Stardiver' then
        equip(sets.WSDayBonus)
    end
end

It doesn't look like you're using Mote's includes, so it's hard to say without seeing your lua.

If you were, then you could do something like this.

if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
    if state.OffenseMode.value ~= 'Acc' then
        equip(sets.WSDayBonus)
    end
end

Oh, I am, I just manually added HighAcc sets for hiiiigh acc situations (situational 950+ acc in gear on SAM) + I notice i referred to the HighAcc sets with "engaged" instead of "precast" by talking from top of my head from work.. I'm sorry about the confusion. Thanks alot again Orestes, your code makes perfect sense and I should really be able to figure that myself but.. hopfully next time.

-- Setup vars that are user-dependent.
function user_setup()
    state.OffenseMode:options('Normal', 'Acc','HighAcc')
    state.HybridMode:options('Normal', 'PDT', 'Reraise')
    state.WeaponskillMode:options('Normal', 'Acc', 'HighAcc', 'Mod')
    state.PhysicalDefenseMode:options('PDT', 'Reraise')

this is my pastebin and have 2 problems I cannot get Gavialis Helm to work as had way too many errors trying to input your codes. and also want to make sure Sekkanoki and Sengikori, JA sets to be put in on activation. rest is good i think lol.

You don't have the function is_sc_element_today() included. I put mine in User-Globals.lua, so if you're looking at my luas thats why you didn't see it. You can paste it at the bottom of each of your job luas instead though.

function is_sc_element_today(spell)
    if spell.type ~= 'WeaponSkill' then
        return
    end
   
    local weaponskill_elements = S{}:
        union(skillchain_elements[spell.skillchain_a]):
        union(skillchain_elements[spell.skillchain_b]):
        union(skillchain_elements[spell.skillchain_c])

    if weaponskill_elements:contains(world.day_element) then
        return true
    else
        return false
    end
end

Also, you have the set and equip lines commented out. This may have been intentional, or you could have copied directly from my luas. (I have them commented out since I don't actually own the helm yet). Remove the two dashes before line 589, and 662 so they look like this.

sets.WSDayBonus     = { head="Gavialis Helm" }


if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then

    if is_sc_element_today(spell) then
        equip(sets.WSDayBonus)
    end
end

Ok thanks alot Orestes

here is the update Lua, hope all is right.

Ok thanks alot Orestes

here is the update Lua, hope all is right.

http://pastebin.com/VaRkZLFG

Not quite.. You had about 15 syntax errors in there. You had ear2="Bladeborn Earring" without a comma after it a bunch of times, missing a bracket to close ["Namas Arrow"] on 571, and a dot before an array index on 587.

Also, you were missing the "end" to close the if / then block for equipping the helm.

I'm not 100% it functions, but this is at least is free of syntax errors. http://pastebin.com/u3Qs1LqH

Thanks alot ya just put earrings and forgot to fix those. Thanks for update Lua will try tonight when i get home

My own solution to this issue:
pastebin.com/uFtapgQs

It tracks runes by name, including the number of each type of rune.
It expires them appropriately, including something like using Ignis while 3 Ignis runes are up (the oldest is dropped, the newest added, and the numbering is all adjusted).
It handles Swipe/Lunge/Gambit, though it doesn't account for keeping runes if you kill the mob prematurely.
It does not remove timers when a rune is lost on buff_change since runes are no longer dispellable. If the rune wears off on its own, the timer should be expiring at the same time, so trying to preemptively remove it will just cause problems.

I had to push all the timer creation/deletion into a single queued command per event. If I issued the commands individually, they wouldn't always take effect.

The code for keeping the timers updated is a bit more complicated than I'd like, due to needing to queue the commands, and making sure deleting from a table doesn't screw things up. However all the code is isolated into what should be very easily-understandable function units.

Hello sorry. This is the really good works really well.
But one problem I see it not works with Swype.
There is something wrong? I did code some mistakes? But I did copy and paste.
Everything else is really works good and well.

Trying to get a bit of code Martel posted for a self_command to pop Velkk Coffers to work, but not having any luck and didn't want to carry on the discussion in the Incursion thread. With Motenten's .lua, I've tried both within the job .lua:

function job_self_command(cmdParams, eventArgs)
	if command == 'coffer' then
		cycle = 0
		invCount = windower.ffxi.get_bag_info(0).count
		if invCount == 80 then
			add_to_chat(140,'Inv. full. Ending cycle')
		elseif player.inventory["Velkk Coffer"] then
			send_command('input /item "Velkk Coffer"')
			cycle = 1
		else
			add_to_chat(140,'No Coffers found in inv.')
			send_command('findall Velkk Coffer')
		end
		if cycle == 1 then
			send_command('wait 2;gc c coffer')
		end
	end
end

function self_command(command)
	if command == 'coffer' then
		cycle = 0
		invCount = windower.ffxi.get_bag_info(0).count
		if invCount == 80 then
			add_to_chat(140,'Inv. full. Ending cycle')
		elseif player.inventory["Velkk Coffer"] then
			send_command('input /item "Velkk Coffer"')
			cycle = 1
		else
			add_to_chat(140,'No Coffers found in inv.')
			send_command('findall Velkk Coffer')
		end
		if cycle == 1 then
			send_command('wait 2;gc c coffer')
		end
	end
end

Both work in the sense that I get no errors when reloading the .lua, however neither work once I input //gs c coffer. I did a search for self_command within the thread and tried a few variations that I found within, which may or may not of even been for Mote's files, with no luck. Any help with what am I missing here would be appreciated, would love to do this rather than alter a script each time. :3

[gaira]

i could be missing something here too, but neither /item "Velkk Coffer" nor /item "Velkk Coffer" <me> input directly into FFXI would open the box, so i suspect that is the problem.

[Sechs]

Did spell.action_type get removed at some time? I can't find it anymore in the XLS example file, but I have a bunch of old lines that try to use spell.action_type in my luas.


edit:

Nah the Swipe part doesn't work. Me and another friend are having the same issue so it's gotta be something in the original code I think.
I do not understand completely every single line inside the trim() function, so I don't really know what's wrong.

The reset runes while dead thing doesn't work either but there's a simple fix for that.
Use the following lines instead

windower.raw_register_event('status change',function(new, old)
    if gearswap.res.statuses[new].english == 'Dead' then
        reset_timers()
    end
end)

[Trumpy]

I have found sometimes switchin double quotes to single quotes makes things work when dealin with windower things. try /item 'Velkk Coffer' <me>.

For instance I tried alot of times in the past to be able to get my mule to use a forbidden key via send and it never seemed to work but recently figured out a macro using single quotes worked:

/con send @others /targetnpc
/con send @others /item 'Forbidden Key' <t>

Yeah, I forgot to update the pastebin code with the other fixes I made, after Sechs brought up a few points.

And reviewing things, I think I see what the Swipe problem is. Make the following changes (or just re-copy from the pastebin):

        elseif spell.name == "Swipe" then
            send_command(trim(1))
        end

-- Remove the oldest rune(s) from the table, until we're below the max_runes limit.
-- If given a value n, remove n runes from the table.
function trim(n)
    local cmd_queue = ''

    local to_remove = n or (rune_timers:length() - max_runes)

    while to_remove > 0 and rune_timers:length() > 0 do
        local oldest
        for index,entry in pairs(rune_timers) do
            if oldest == nil or entry.expires < rune_timers[oldest].expires then
                oldest = index
            end
        end
        
        cmd_queue = cmd_queue .. prune(rune_timers[oldest].rune)
        to_remove = to_remove - 1
    end
    
    return cmd_queue
end

@Mote
Swipe works perfectly for me with that change, thanks Mote.

Did spell.action_type get removed at some time? I can't find it anymore in the XLS example file, but I have a bunch of old lines that try to use spell.action_type in my luas.

I apologize if I insist on this topic. Anybody knows anything?
I still have these .action_type lines in my luas, they're likely remnants of when I started messing up with luas but I'm not even sure they serve a purpose anymore, plus I don't see the command in the XLS file. Kinda means it got eliminated somewhere along the road? When and why? Which other command took its place?

[Motenten]

action_type is still present in the GearSwap code, Sechs. I have no idea if it was ever explicitly in the spreadsheet.

[Sechs]

Then it probably never was there in the xls I suppose.
Which fields does it accept? I only know "Magic" as one of the possible ones.
