OK with that new code I am gettin on a buff change a new error:

Line 365 is the:

modify you function name from this
function buff_change(buff,gain)
to
function buff_change(name,gain,buff_table)

and i also answered your second question
job abilitys use this
windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[spell.recast_id]
spells use this
windower.ffxi.get_spell_recasts()[spell.recast_id]

if you want to you somthing like your original code here:

if spell.skill == 'Healing Magic' then
    equip(sets.FC.Cure)
    if na_spells[spell.name] and spell.target.in_party and spell.target.type ~= "SELF" then
        if windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[32] > 0 then
            cancel_spell()
            send_command('input /ja "Divine Caress" <me>;wait 1.5;input /ma "'..spell.name..'" <me>')
            return
        end
    end
end

Yeah ur edit didnt show up when i first reloaded it. but i see the second part now. Got the divine caress stuff all workin now.

OK ur buff change code is now workin with the ,buff_table part added. I guess now i gotta go get hit with the debuff and see what ID it is. But once I figure it out I just need to know how to use it in the buff_change function. For what I want to do I need buff_change more than buffactive. Basically when I get hit with the debuff, I want stuff to happen. Let's just use for example: when I am hit with the debuff I want an /echo to say You are afflicted with this debuff. And since there are two debuffs with the same name but different IDs, I need to use the ID to identify it and I dont know the syntax/wording of it.

with out knowing what in buff_table what ever oi do will probably fail
so let me know what gets output on any buff it does not mater what it is

[dlsmd]

ok i looked through the gearswap coding and it looks like its done like this
if buff_table.id == 9 then -- this should give you the regular curse
if buff_table.id == 20 then -- this should give you the zombie curse

it looks like it should be
buff_table ={
id = <buff id>, --number
en = <english name>, --string
ja = <japanese name>, --string
enl = <long english name>, --string
jal = <long japanese name>,} --string

[Trumpy]

OK went to fight Yaanei and came up with

01:49:32 > buff_table.ja = 呪い
01:49:32 > buff_table.jal = 呪い
01:49:32 > buff_table.id = 20
01:49:32 > buff_table.enl = cursed
01:49:32 > buff_table.en = curse

I'd assume it could be tested with any buff tho right? Like say we took Hastes buff ID and made some code to do an echo or whatever when ever I had that casted on me? Then we just need to put the right ID in there when its workin.

EDIT: OK I will try

if buff_table.id == 20

And see how it goes!

correct

[Trumpy]

OK jsut tested with Haste. buff_table.id == 20 should work. thank you very much Dlsmd!!!

Is there any way to make a rule to equip the reive neck anytime I'm in a reive? Preferably only for my engaged/idle sets so spells/ws can still use other necks, though.

[dlsmd]

put this in your status change and aftercast(tho you need to add your set to it)

if buffactive['Reive Mark'] then
    equip()
end

Hey all, I'm a GS noob, had some really noobish questions. I've started trying to use Kinematics' files but obviously not knowing what the hell I'm doing is sort of getting in the way. I'm trying to use the PUP, MNK and BRD lua files btw. Doesn't help that as a returning player, I have little situational gear so there's a lot of extra sets I don't have yet.
First, what kind of macros should I be using in game to integrate these? At a basic level it's just put my gear into the template then make a macro for /windmaneuver or whatever, but I mean, what kind of command do I use to switch to a defensive set? What kind of command do I use to switch to an accuracy set? I notice there's an idle defensive set and an engaged accuracy set, would I be switching between these at different times?

If I wanted to work on a trial for a H2H weapon or whatever, do I need to manually change my weapon in the lua file or is there a way to lock a piece of equipment? Obviously the BRD file is more involved than the DD files, what extra info should I know? There's a lot of more situational spells to use as BRD, this isn't quite a GS question per se but how would I fit what I need into a macro page/book? Can someone elaborate on the extra songs mode? I'm a 2 song bard (sadly) so I don't need to worry about the dummy setting I guess, but what about the full length? When do you use the full length compared to none?

Thanks for any advice, I want to play my jobs efficiently at least, from a systems standpoint, as I certainly am not quite there yet for playing them efficiently from a gear perspective (the start point for gearing a job is easy easy to figure out as it's nil, the endpoint is easy to see since every high level player has it on, but the in-between... takes a bit of figuring out). I used only PUP, with a spellcast xml a friend made for me, for ages, so trying new jobs is necessary but hard since I don't know squat about programming. It's all Greek to me (and I should know since I took a year and a half of Greek!). I just want to more easily get through editing lua files and macros so I can get back to trying to play the game and be a better player.

as i have almost no knowledge of Motes include's i can only give you basis gs info or give how to do it in my include

for macros as long as you understand that to send a command to the windower console you must start it with:
from chat: // [Example: //gs c start]
from the windower console: <nothing is needed> [Example: gs c start]
from macro: /console [Example: /console gs c start]
from with in gearswap: send_command(command) [Example: send_command('gs c start')]

for the trial weapon
basic gs:
for the weapon trial it would be best to over write you main weapon to the trial weapon

my include:
because my include has weapon set separate from armor and range you can actually put a trial weapon in to a separate set and change it in and out at your preference then switch it back to a high lvl weapon if needed
how ever my include is massive and hard to use for beginners

and here is some info to understand how to format things in lua http://pastebin.com/GLdhjSuR

Aw I had a more in depth reply here, but I guess I'll cut to the chase: If my default engaged set is sets.engaged, and my accuracy set is sets.engaged.Acc, how do I, from the chat or a macro, tell it to use this accuracy set when engaged?

[Trumpy]

from macro: /console [Example: /console gs c start]

You can also use the abbreviated /con which can help if you ever run out of characters in your macro line. (4 more letters).

you could also manually equip your weapons and type //gs disable main so gear swap wont change it til you enable it.

So I'm just returning after nearly a year off the game. Could anyone kindly point me in the diretion of a function SMN GS file? I was using Motenten's before.

New to Gearswap, How would I go about having it lock me into say PDT or MDT sets?

Short answer, tap F9.

For Kinematics, there are 4 ways to input commands: console, macro, chatline and hotkeys. I'll just list the basic hotkey commands.

F9 - Cycles your Offense-Modes. Options are typically Normal and Acc.
F10 - Turns on PDT mode.
F11 - Turns on MDT Mode.
Ctrl-F11 - Cycles (offensive and debuff) Casting-Modes. Options are typically Normal and Resistant.
F12 - Displays your current status, updates your gear and (depending on job) performs specialized functions.

A more detailed list of commands can be found here.

So today I was noticing while making a pup.lua That Automaton Oil +3 cant be equipped unless I use the abbreviated form of Automat. Oil +3. Yet everything I have ever put in gearswap always worked with the full names before. My non reforged puppetry hands (AF) work with the full name despite the in game name being abbreviated. Is there a reason why automaton oil +3 wouldnt work with full name that i am missing?
