can anybody think of a way to count all the mobs that are attacking a player
i want to automatically change my ws to an aoe ws if i have more the 1 attacking mob while in dyna

if they're all close to you, in engaged animation, and facing you, they're probably engaged on you (there's no way to be sure really, unless you record actions on yourself)

what i was thinking about was checking to see if thay have you in there target
i.e.
using the npc update packet
and windower.ffxi.get_mob_by_id(id)
see if player id or index is in the
windower.ffxi.get_mob_by_id(id).claim_id: int
and if within x distance or something like that

Easy way to lock in an equipment slot? I wanna use CP incusion cap, but dont wanna redo all my gearsets to add Mecistopins mantle, i can prob make an idle tp and ws set to include mantle, but that seams the long way to do it. thx

How exactly would I go about activating a Fast.Midcast.Set? I can't seem to find the option anywhere in the GEO Lua I downloaded and tweaked. Any help is appreciated. Since I'm very new to gearswap and how to use it.

without knowing the code your using we cant help

[Darknightleo]

Fair enough, which files should I upload to give you an idea? And should I use pastebin, or just upload the LUAs?

[dlsmd]

use pastbin and post the relevant file(s)

Here's the first one http://pastebin.com/vDJjr0FH the main geo_gear lua. I'm trying to figure out how to activate the midcast.fastrecast set. None of my functions seem to reference it.
This is the GEO Lua http://pastebin.com/am9GuKEz not sure if I needed to include it or not.

After turning on debugmode, it seems like Mote's SMN lua is equipping my sets.midcast.Pet.PhysicalBloodPactRage set for pet_midcast for Alexander's Perfect Defense. I'd like to have it equip my sets.midcast.Pet.BloodPactWard set at this point, which it used to do properly. Any thoughts?

Hi, I'm still having this issue... after summoning Alexander, GS equips my Ward BP set for 'idling' with him out, as line 329 in SMN.lua indicates. However, when he actually readies Perfect Defense, it equips the Rage BP set. I noticed this issue when my Perfect Defenses seemed far shorter than before, and timing them (as well as GS's debugmode) verified this.

I am using Mote's SMN.lua, with a SMN_gear.lua sidecar - there is no custom logic, however, only edits to the gear set equipment in the sidecar. Was there a change to GS or the SMN.lua that could have caused this?

[Byrthnoth]

Perfect Defense is technically classified as a Blood Pact: Rage in the resources right now. That's why it's putting on BP: Rage gear. I'm not sure if that information is extracted or hardcoded.

[Trumpy]

wouldnt coding for perfect defence specifically work? like spell.name = perfect defence?

[Rehn]

So for daur brds, how do I make gearswap use daur when you're singing your 3rd and 4th song?

And as an extension of that, how do I make it so that it'll use gjal after applying 2 placeholder songs?

[Motenten]

Yes, you can explicitly override it.

function job_pet_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if spell.name == 'Perfect Defense' then
        equip(sets.midcast.Pet.BloodPactWard)
        eventArgs.handled = true
    end
end

Look at user_midcast in Mote-Globals.lua in the GearSwap libs directory. FastRecast is automatically applied to all magic spells before any other gear is equipped. If no other gear explicitly overrides an item slot, it will just use whatever was in that slot in the FastRecast set.

[gthumbmoogle]

OK, I'll add that to my sidecar file and give it a shot. Thanks Mote ^^.

Hii! I"m using Bokura's GEO GS and it's currently giving me errors. Was wondering if anyone can help me out! Here is the code I get.

Gearswap: Lua error (runtime) - gearswap/flow.lua:301:
Gearswap has detected an error in the user function midcast:
gearswap/data/xxx_GEO.lua:450: attempt to index global 'AccArray' (a nil value)

Here is the lua. http://pastebin.com/my6PHbKd

Thanks in advanced!

its because the code is looking for AccArray and AccIndex but nether has been defined

Ah, okay, thanks! That makes sense. I was thinking it was a function I had to define (like the F9-12 keys.)

So if I wanted this set to take effect for say...Stun. Would I need to take everything out of that "MidCast['Dark Magic']" Section? Or would it be possible to make another set just for stun? Sorry for all the questions, just now dipping my toes into Gearswap after putting it off for almost a year. Any help is appreciated!
