What is the ( in front of buffactive for? That might be what is throwing it all off. of course if that didnt work people prolly cant help you without havin all of your file available to look at.

@ Semco
thats great for your sets but without seeing the code that would call said sets we cant help you too much. you can put ur lua on pastebin or dropbox maybe and people can take a look at it. See my post above for how to code for those JAs (you put it in precast). of course if you used my code you would have to change the word buff to JA.

Also although i think your way works still, i never use the ["Manafront"] type stuff unless the term i want to use is 2 words or more or has a ' or " in it. sets.buff.Ebullience works.

Also are you wanting to use the gear when you use the job abilities or when you cast with their buffs active?

There's a bug with the pet_status_change function in gearswap.
Inside the gearswap.lua file in the function that handles incoming chunk, in the section that handles 0x0E (line 308.)
When an avatar auto-engages (you get aggro) or when a monster dies and the avatar auto-disengages as well as most of the time when you use assault for the first time on a monster the pet.status in like 309 is updated before gearswap handles the packet so the oldstatus is always equal to the new status and the pet_status_change event is never fired.

pet.status is taken from the windower api, it is the value from the mob table, and it is always up to date and correct.

I did a test to make oldstatus a global and made it persist the old value of newstatus, I also added an add_to_chat statement to see when the 0x0E chunk actually gets processed.

Doing this does fix it so the function will always be called however the chunk with ID 0x0E seems to be very random. It will always eventually update however it can take upwards of 10 seconds after a monster dies for it to actually trigger. During that window the pet.status will report the correct values so there must be some issue with the processing of that packet or the windower api is getting the value from elsewhere.

I still can't replicate this using assault or aggroing mobs.

The other avatar bug is fixed on -dev, though.

Trying to get the body to swap during Manafont. Any help/suggestions would be great. ty

[Nameless]

WS_array = {[1] = {['Ragnarok'] = 'Resolution', ['Xbalanque'] = 'Guillotine'},
        [2] = {['Ragnarok'] = 'Torcleaver', ['Xbalanque'] = 'Insurgency'}}

So I know the above one works. However, when I use Buramenk'ah, the ' mess stuff up so I changed to ". May anyone tell me if the below will work?

    WS_array = {[1] = {["Aettir"] = 'Resolution', ["Buramenk'ah"] = 'Requiescat'},
        [2] = {["Aettir"] = 'Dimidiation', ["Buramenk'ah"] = 'Vorpal Blade'}}

Thank you.

I figured out what I was doing. However i still can't figure out how to get my Savant 's Loafers to equip when I cast Klimaform or Desert boots to equip when I cast Sandstorm. I got most of my code from Mote's sch Lua. I noticed he hasn't updated in several months.

it should be this

if buffactive["Manafont"] then
equip(sets.Midcast['Elemental Magic'],sets.midcast.Manafont)
end

it should be this

if buffactive["Manafont"] then
equip(sets.Midcast['Elemental Magic'],sets.midcast.Manafont)

Ive never used equipset before so I dunno how much I can help you myself. how different is
equip(sets.Midcast.Stun)
from

?

equipset is useful if you want to create you sets dynamical

What's the category for bar-status spells like Barsilence Baramnesia etc? For elements its BarElement for comparison. I want bar status spells to use Shedir Seraweels because I'd be surprised if bar-enhancing gear didn't increase resistance to those debuffs similar to how gear can buff barelement spells. I tried sets.midcast.BarStatus, but it doesnt work. I know it says 'elemental resistance spells' but I think that's the official description of 'bar spells' in general. I could be offbase, but since I'm at 500 enhancing anyway, might as well shoot for placebo effect :D

From the looks of the thief lua I posted. It seems to get stuck in certain sneak attack gear and refuses to change out of it for TP. It switches to idle, but when I go back to tp regardless of the acc value it keeps on sneak attack gear.

[Sechs]

The other avatar bug is fixed on -dev, though.

You mean the one I discovered, where randomly pet_aftercast sometimes would not execute?
That's so ossom <3

I have 3 problems with my SCH lua"

1) This code doesn't seem to work for me with Kinematics' SCH lua:

sets.midcast.CureWithLightWeather = {main="Chatoyant Staff",
head="Gende. Caubeen",
body="Peda. Gown +1",
hands="Pedagogy Bracers",
legs="Acad. Pants +1",
feet="Regal Pumps",
neck="Phalaina Locket",
waist="Korin Obi",
left_ear="Beatific Earring",
right_ear="Lifestorm Earring",
left_ring="Prolix Ring",
right_ring="Sirona's Ring",
back="Twilight Cape"}

function job_get_spell_map(spell, default_spell_map)
if spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
if default_spell_map == 'Cure' or default_spell_map == 'Curaga' then
if world.weather_element == 'Light' then
return 'CureWithLightWeather'
end

When I cast cure with Aurorastorm up, it still uses my default cure set and not the weather set with chatoyant/twilight/obi.



2) When I stun with Alacrity up, its not using my alacrityStun set:

sets.midcast.StunAlacrity = {main="Apamajas II",sub="Mephitis Grip",ammo="Incantor Stone",
head="Nahtirah Hat",neck="Orunmila's Torque",ear1="Enchntr. Earing +1",ear2="Loquacious Earring",
body="Vanir Cotehardie",hands="Gendewitha Gages",ring1="Prolix Ring",ring2="Sangoma Ring",
back="Swith Cape",waist="Witful Belt",legs="Artsieq Hose",feet="Pedagogy Loafers +1"}
sets.midcast.Stun.Resistant = set_combine(sets.midcast.Stun, {main="Lehbrailg +2"})

function job_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
if spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
apply_grimoire_bonuses(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
if spell.english == 'Stun' and buffactive['Alacrity'] then
   equip(sets.StunAlacrity)

3) When I stun, it keeps my Apamajas II and Sangoma Ring on when I aftercast back to idle. I have every idle piece on except I retain my ring and main weapon. When I cast stun AGAIN, i aftercast in full idle gear with bolelabunga and paguroidea ring. No fucking idea why. Literally ONE CAST cast will aftercast me in Bolelabunga+Genbu Shield+Paguroidea Ring, and EVERY OTHER cast will aftercast me in Apajamas II+Mephitis Grip+Sangoma Ring. Why would it be 50/50 on the aftercast and why isn't it detecting when Alacrity is up and use my AlacrityStun set?

Okay, so I've hit a roadblock in fixing my DRK lua (I posted earlier and was ignored, so devoted myself to trying to figure out what the issue was).

I decided to use a gearswap that I know works, my SAM from Kinematics, as a base and changed the functions etc. to match, but I can't seem to figure out how to keep a certain piece of equipment/set of equipment equipped while I have 'Last Resort' up. I based my attempt off of the Adoulin set lines from Kine's stuff:

function update_combat_form()
    if areas.Adoulin:contains(world.area) and buffactive.ionis then
        state.CombatForm:set('Adoulin')
    else
        state.CombatForm:reset()
    end
end

I changed it to this in my DRK lua:

function update_combat_form()
    if buffactive['Last Resort'] then
        state.CombatForm:set('Last Resort')
    else
        state.CombatForm:reset()
    end
end

The problem comes when it, I assume, sets my combat form (or doesn't) and never resets it when the buff wears off. (I can occasionally get it to equip the 'Fallen's Sollerets' when Last Resort is active, but when that happens they don't unequip when it falls or, and also works vice versa.)

Now, I cannot say I've tested the SAM version of that, as I removed those specific equipment sets from the lines considering I just use the same gear in Adoulin as I do the rest of Vana'diel, but I assume it'd work the same even without the area requirement.

I'd super appreciate it if somebody could help me out and help point me to what's going on.

Here is the pastebin number for my current lua (ignore the incomplete WS categories, they are currently on the bottom of my to-do list when it comes to getting this working): /Mib6rnvr

unfortunately for me your using motes include so i have no clue what is going on in it

[gargurty]

can anyone explain how i can make a curedegration in my geo lua? I know motenten uses one for dnc and i have seen one for whm, but i can seem to get it too work on my geo.

[Trumpy]

Is that when gearswap automatically changes your cures to different tiers based on missing HP (only works on party/ally peeps)?

In Precast: (change refine_cure to refine_waltz for dnc waltzes)

if spell.name:startswith('Cure') then
	equip(sets.FC.Cure)
	refine_cure(spell)
	return
end

This was devised by Mote a long time ago and still works fine for me.

Wellp, nevermind it seems. Figure one thing out and then suddenly it stops working again.

If anybody versed at all in translating combatforms and the mote files could assist me, it would be greatly appreciated.

I cant for the life of me figure out why 50% of my stun casts i end up in aftercast idle set with the wrong lring and main hand weapon, and then the subsequent cast i'll aftercast with the correct one. It makes no sense
