I'm on my first baby steps into the world of "include", a function I never used before.
Let's say you have an "aftercast" in your main lua, and then another "aftercast" in your include.
What's going to happen? One of them will be ignored? Gearswap will "merge" them into one?

only one will work

One aftercast to rule them all.

I was kinda wondering. since i put sneak cancelling and stoneskin cancelling and also cure/waltz tier adjusting code in all my luas can I just make an include and invent a new function to put precast in the include for those specific spells? and still have precast code for job specific things in the main lua? Or is there really no way around it since either the main or include will overwrite the other?

yes

Code:

--job file
include("includefile.lua")
function precast(spell)
    precast_extra(spell)
    -- job specific things
end

Code:

--includefile.lua
function precast_extra(spell)
    --sneak cancelling and stoneskin cancelling and also cure/waltz tier adjusting code
end

the second set of functions need to be named something different from the first

ok cool thanks.

If you're using Kinematics then you can create a file named (Yourcharactername)-Globals.lua to set rules for all your jobs so you won't need to edit every single job.lua because well, it's global. You won't need to add anything to your main job.lua. The only difference is that you must prefix the various functions with 'user_'

Here's one example how I use Globals to equip Mecistopins Mantle for any job when I have trusts out.

Code:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- An example of setting up user-specific global handling of certain events.
-- This is for personal globals, as opposed to library globals.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function user_customize_idle_set(idleSet)
    if is_trust_party() and areas.Adoulin:contains(world.area) then
        idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, {back="Mecisto. Mantle"})
    end

    return idleSet
end

function user_customize_melee_set(meleeSet)
    if is_trust_party() and areas.Adoulin:contains(world.area) then
        meleeSet = set_combine(meleeSet, {back="Mecisto. Mantle"})
    end

    return meleeSet
end

-----------------------------------------------------------
-- Test function to use to avoid modifying library files.
-----------------------------------------------------------

function user_test(params)

end

Edit* Don't forget to add new Trusts down at the bottom of Mote-Mappings as they come out. At the time of this writing I had to add Koru-Moru.

OK trieds the new obi for my geo nukes and i noticed it not working, same goes for tier 5 nukes. Anyone have an idea how to add these in motentens lua, or is he updating those with windower update?

Included commentary and job_aftercast() to give you reference points where to place the code in your Motes' Geo lua. Don't include the job_aftercast() part in your paste it is just a reference point.

Code:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Job-specific hooks for standard casting events.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Run after the default midcast() is done.
-- eventArgs is the same one used in job_midcast, in case information needs to be persisted.
function job_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' then
        if spell.element == world.day_element or spell.element == world.weather_element then
            equip(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'], {waist="Hachirin-No-Obi"})
        end
    end
end

function job_aftercast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    -- stuff
    -- stuff
end

**Quixacotl** · 2015-02-19 19:57

Get it while it's hot!

Fotia Gorget/Belt

Code:

function job_setup()
    ws_elements_to_check = S{'Compression', 'Darkness', 'Detonation', 'Distortion', 'Fragmentation', 'Fusion',
    'Gravitation', 'Impaction', 'Induration', 'Light', 'Liquefaction', 'Reverberation', 'Scission', 'Transfixion'}
end

function job_post_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' and ws_elements_to_check:contains(spell.skillchain_a)
            or ws_elements_to_check:contains(spell.skillchain_b)
            or ws_elements_to_check:contains(spell.skillchain_c) then
        equip({neck="Fotia Gorget", waist="Fotia Belt"})
    end
end

Lugra Earring (+1)

Code:

sets.DusktoDawn_WS = {ear1="Lugra Earring +1", ear2="Lugra Earring"}

function job_post_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
	if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
		if world.time <= (7*60) or world.time >= (17*60) then
			equip(sets.DusktoDawn_WS)
		end
	end
end

And for Mega Obi.

Code:

function job_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' then
        if spell.element == world.day_element or spell.element == world.weather_element then
            equip(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'], {waist="Hachirin-No-Obi"})
        end
    elseif spell.skill == 'Healing Magic' then
        if spell.name:startswith('Cure') and world.day_element == 'Light' or world.weather_element == 'Light' then
            equip(sets.midcast.Cure, {waist="Hachirin-No-Obi"})
        end
    end
end

**dlsmd** · 2015-02-19 20:07

for Weapon Skills this is what i recommend for a base set

Code:

WSi_types={['Hand-to-Hand']={head="Tokon Hachimaki"},['Dagger']={head="Issen Hachimaki"},['Sword']={head="Kensho Hachimaki"},['Great Sword']={head="Hako Hachimaki"},
        ['Axe']={head="Ryoshi Hachimaki"},['Great Axe']={head="Senshin Hachimaki"},['Scythe']={head="Rekka Hachimaki"},['Polearm']={head="Shitotsu Hachimaki"},
        ['Katana']={head="Kanja Hachimaki"},['Great Katana']={head="Kengo Hachimaki"},['Club']={head="Rokugo Hachimaki"},['Staff']={head="Hakke Hachimaki"},
        ['Archery']={head="Shunten Hachimaki"},['Marksmanship']={head="Saika Hachimaki"},['Throwing']={},}
        
    if spell.type == "WeaponSkill" then
        equip(WSi_types[spell.skill], {neck="Fotia Gorget",waist="Fotia Belt"})
    end

now i need to know if i need to have a specific synergy lvl to craft them

here is my magic obi code

Code:

Typ_abilitys = {'/jobability','/pet','/weaponskill','/monsterskill'}
    if not table.contains(Typ_abilitys,spell.prefix) then
        if spell.element == world.weather_element or spell.element == world.day_element then
            equip({waist="Hachirin-No-Obi"})
        end
    end

Your Obi won't equip because your job_post_midcast() block has quite a few errors.

For one, it's nested incorrectly and one 'end' is in the wrong spot.
You have too many instances of, "if spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' then" where it's not necessary.
The command, "equip(set_combine(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'], {main="Marin Staff +1",back="Kaikias' cape",}))" is an improper syntax.
Same as, "if job_get_spell_map(spell,default_spell_map) == 'Low' then".

If you've created a custom Castingmode option, 'Low' then the correct syntax should be

Code:

state.CastingMode:options('Normal', 'Resistant', 'Low')

if state.CastingMode.value == 'Low' then
    -- put whatever rule here
end

Use this instead.

Spoiler: show

ok i will try that out when off from work

btw ye got a clue how to add t5 spells for geo, cos motentens lua doesnt work with it yet.

**gargurty** · 2015-02-20 12:19

Wel thanks for the raply

my obi is kicking in, now i have to wait for tier 5 lol

They're still working on T5 for Rdm and Geo so gotta be patient.

**Shadowmeld** · 2015-02-20 15:25

its been a while since I have played, but if you want some control over whether to use the obi with one conflicting weather or not you could use logic similar to this...

Note 1: I have the following mappings

Code:

elements = {}
elements.use_on_single_conflict = false
elements.strong_against = {['Fire'] = 'Ice', ['Earth'] = 'Thunder', ['Water'] = 'Fire', ['Wind'] = 'Earth', ['Ice'] = 'Wind', ['Thunder'] = 'Water', ['Light'] = 'Dark', ['Dark'] = 'Light'}
elements.weak_against = {['Fire'] = 'Water', ['Earth'] = 'Wind', ['Water'] = 'Thunder', ['Wind'] = 'Ice', ['Ice'] = 'Fire', ['Thunder'] = 'Earth', ['Light'] = 'Dark', ['Dark'] = 'Light'}

Note 2: Logic code for using obi

Code:

function use_obi(spell, equip_set)
	local use_obi = false

        -- first check to see if any elemental obi rule matches
	if(S{world.day_element, world.weather_element}:contains(spell.element)) then

                -- If at least one matches, try to find out if there is also a weak element involved
		if ( world.weather_element == elements.weak_against[spell.element] ) then

                        -- If weak weather is involved, but it is only single weather, check to see if use_on_single_conflict is set to true
			if ( world.weather_id % 2 == 0 and elements.use_on_single_conflict) then
				use_obi = true
			end

		elseif (world.day_element == elements.weak_against[spell.element]) then

                        -- If weak day is involved check for double weather or single weather + use_on_single_conflict set to true
			if (world.weather_id % 2 == 1 or ( elements[use_on_single_conflict] and world.weather_id % 2 == 0) ) then
				use_obi = true
			end

		end

	end

	if (use_obi) then
		equip_set = set_combine(equip_set, { waist = "Hachirin-No-Obi"})
	end

        return equip_set
end

What this does is if the elements.use_on_single_conflict is set to false, it will only use obis if there is not a conflicting element involved so:
day matches + no weather or non conflicting weather
weather matches double weather + conflicting day
weather matches + non conflicting day

if you set elements.use_on_single_conflict to true it would add the following:
day matches + conflicting single weather
single weather match + conflicting day

I see a need for the toggle because you may desire consistency in your damage and not want to have a chance at negative proc even at the expense of removing your chance at a positive proc. Like say in a situation where it takes exactly x number of nukes to kill something, but if negative procs at least once it would take x + 1 nukes to kill.

**Sechs** · 2015-02-20 16:11

I'm a huge noob when it comes to opposing elements stuff, can anybody confirm if these are the right conditions for the new elemental Obi? If so I will proceed to convert them into GS code for my luas

Doubleweather/Stormspell2 same element of Spell being cast (when doubleweather is up it's beneficial to equip obi regardless of day, even if it's opposing element day)
weather/stormspell same element AND day NOT opposing element (no use to equip obi with singleweather if it's opposing day, they cancel each other)
Day same element and NOT storm/storm2/weather/doubleweather of the opposing element (similar as above)

These are the situations where I want to EQUIP belt in midcast. In all other situations I want to equip whatever my current midcast set is. Correct? Did I miss some other situation?

**Shadowmeld** · 2015-02-20 16:31

There might be situations where you would still want to use an Obi even if there is a mismatch day/single weather just for consistency. but in general you are right.

1. 2x matching weather always
2. matching day or matching weather with no (conflict) always
3. matching day + conflict single weather (maybe sometimes)
4. matching single weather + conflict day (maybe sometimes)

See my code above for an example.

**Byrthnoth** · 2015-02-20 16:46

Tier 6 works for my BLM and the relevant changes are live. If your JP spells do not work, delete windower/updates/ and rerun launcher.

**Sechs** · 2015-02-20 17:07

Uhm... Does the obi give only affinity potency or affinity accuracy too?
If it's also the latter I guess It could be nice to use with enfeebling magic as well, not just elemental magic.
