the lua im using is from Allen Warren, ive tried getting the latest copy and still get an error when loading

ive also tried getting the latest copy of the lau and this doesn't fix it also tried getting a lua from kinematic and im still getting an error
all other jobs seem fine.

hopefully some one can help me out with this
thanks

Did you download Mote's includes, and place them in your data folder? If so, don't do that. Remove them, and reload.

Otherwise, if that isn't it, then I'm not sure. My cor lua is working for me.

is flash almost ready to cast??
if so there is nothing i can do about it
its because of the way lua calculates numbers

do you have the spell flash?? or is your pld at a high enuf lvl to use flash??
if not then the reason is because the info for flash is being sent to the filtered_action function not pretarget/precast

if you put your rule in pretarget it will only go to pretarget if you use a macro or if you typein the command /ma "Flash" <t>
in other words if your trying to use the command from the menu it wont go off

any rule that involves cancel_spell() will only work from
pretarget/precast/filtered_action

ok try changing your rule to this

Code:

elseif spell.english == "Flash" and (windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[spell.recast_id] > 0) then
    cancel_spell()
    if (windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[679] < 1) then
        send_command('input /ma "Blank Gaze" <t>')
    end

**Anadrag** · 2014-10-20 12:28

The error you mentioned suggests that gearswap is unable to find Mote's includes, or that your includes are outdated.

Code:

attempt to call global 'M' ( a nil value)

"M" is defined in libs/Modes.lua

Do you have this file?

Otherwise, copy your Cor lua to pastebin and share the URL. If you have it split into a sidecar, include that as well.

If you play multiple characters, make sure your job luas are named correctly, and make sure you don't have more than one cor lua in the data folder. (unless one is a sidecar)

ok did you try reloading ffxi?? and make sure that there are not updates to windower

**Anadrag** · 2014-10-20 17:46

today yes but not since the last line you gave me

**dlsmd** · 2014-10-20 17:50

there is a weird thing that happens when you reload any lua addon it will sometimes not work properly after reloading it several times
the ways you can fix it are
in windower console
reload luacore
or in chat
//reload luacore

if that does not work you can always try restarting ffxi

if that does not work then there is a bug in windower
