Gearswap Help Thread!

[dlsmd]

Thanks. It seems like I need to use Byrth's sheets to start as Monte's are little bit over my head complicated as a first time user.

Well it's not even include that's the problem; the function for checking time and swapping feet is there, but it simply doesn't work in the sheet.

function select_movement_feet()
    if world.time >= 17*60 or world.time < 7*60 then
        gear.MovementFeet.name = gear.NightFeet
    else
        gear.MovementFeet.name = gear.DayFeet
    end
end

Only posted that excerpt as it's literally using his default files. It looks like all other swaps work, just this doesn't; looks like the sheet/addon doesn't actually check the time and do the swap.

Anyone have any suggestions for mug not going into aftercast when the gil steal fails?

[|Heretic|]

It'll take me forever to figure out something that should probably take 15 seconds.

I'm looking to add some lines into mote's SCH.lua to automatically use the Accession JA to aoe whenever I try to cast Regen V. I imagine it's something along these lines, but I'm probably missing a few things:

if spell == "Regen V" then
    cancel_spell()
        send_command('input /ja "Accession" <me>')
        send_command('input /ma "Regen V" <me>')
    end

Help would be greatly appreciated.

[Byrthnoth]

send_command('input /ja "Accession" <me>;wait 1.1;input /ma "Regen V" <me>')

you also need to change the first line to something more like:

if spell == "Regen V" and not buffactive['Accession'] then

You may still have problems because SE is slow to update the buff line for some reason, so you might have to set a flag in accession's aftercast that you remove when the buff wears off.

this would actualy be better if only to make sure that Accession is not on recast

if spell == "Regen V" and windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[231] == 0 and not buffactive['Accession'] then

How do I handle healing breath?

For example, I use Restoring breath (JA) (so I equip BREATH set)

few seconds later my wyvern casts Healing breath

When is the healing breath amount calculated

also I cast stone (Premagic or midmagic?? to equip BREATH set)

few seconds later wyvern casts Healing breath

What do I do here? Do I manually make a command to equip a set for like 5 seconds in my macro?

[Trumpy]

you could possibly lock the peices for healin breath. and have them unlock when it goes off or whatevs.

function select_movement_feet()
    if world.time >= 17*60 or world.time < 7*60 then
        gear.MovementFeet.name = gear.NightFeet
    else
        gear.MovementFeet.name = gear.DayFeet
    end
end

Make sure select_idle_feet() is and gear.NightFeet/gear.DayFeet are defined in user_setup().

I ended up needing to add

-- Called by the default 'update' self-command.
function job_update(cmdParams, eventArgs)
    select_movement_feet()
end

in my sidecar file as well to get it working.

I ended up extending that for Serpentes sets on my BLU (as when I played it was mostly on that) and it ended up looking like:

Spoiler: show

	gear.IdleFeet = {name="Assimilator's Charuqs +1"}
	gear.DayFeet = "Serpentes Sabots"
	gear.NightFeet = "Assimilator's Charuqs +1"
	gear.IdleHands = {name="Serpentes Cuffs"}
	gear.DayHands = "Garden Bangles"
	gear.NightHands = "Serpentes Cuffs"

	select_idle_feet()
	select_idle_hands()

in user_setup() and

-- Modify the default idle set after it was constructed.
function customize_idle_set(idleSet)
    if player.mpp <= 50 then
        idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.latent_refresh)
    end
    return idleSet
end


function job_status_change(new_status, old_status)
    if new_status == 'Idle' then
        select_idle_hands()
		select_idle_feet()
    end
end


-- Called by the default 'update' self-command.
function job_update(cmdParams, eventArgs)
    select_idle_hands()
    select_idle_feet()
end


function select_idle_feet()
	if world.time >= 17*60 or world.time < 7*60 then
		gear.IdleFeet.name = gear.NightFeet
	else
		gear.IdleFeet.name = gear.DayFeet
	end
end


function select_idle_hands()
	if world.time >= 17*60 or world.time < 7*60 then
		gear.IdleHands.name = gear.NightHands
	else
		gear.IdleHands.name = gear.DayHands
	end
end

to get it all working (latent refresh was for the obi).

Hope it helps.

How do I lock a specific gearslot while a certain buff is active?

[Foldypaws]

How do I lock a specific gearslot while a certain buff is active?

Here's my manawall code.

function buff_change(buff,gain_or_loss)
	if buff=='Mana Wall' then
		if gain_or_loss then
			equip(sets.ManaWall)
			disable('feet')
		else
			enable('feet')
		end
	end
end

This is how I modified Mote's NIN.lua, and mine works fine. You'll have to create two sets for day/night feet.

    sets.DayMovement = {feet="Danzo sune-ate"}
    sets.NightMovement = {feet="Hachiya Kyahan +1"}

Change the select_movement_feet() function to look like this.

function select_movement_feet()
    if world.time >= (17*60) or world.time <= (7*60) then
        return sets.NightMovement
    else
        return sets.DayMovement
    end
end

Find customize_idle_sets() function, and make it look like this.

function customize_idle_set(idleSet)
    if state.Buff.Migawari then
        idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.buff.Migawari)
    end
    if state.Buff.Doom then
        idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.buff.Doom)
    end
    idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, select_movement_feet())
    return idleSet
end

Gearswap won't automatically swap your boots when you're running around town, doing nothing, etc. You have to perform an action, gain/lose a buff, or change your status from engaged to idle. Alternatively, you can press F12 to force an update, and you don't need to add select_movement_feet() to the job_update() function in order for that to work.

Thank you, I'll give that a shot in a bit.

That seems like a huge oversight in the addon ; ; Byrth are you swayable by donation.

IIRC, you used to be able to accomplish something like this with autoexec + spellcast together. I haven't messed with this in a while, and I'm not at home so I can't test, but this autoexec rule may work.

<register event="time_6.00|time_7.00|time_17.00|time_18.00" silent="true">gs c update user</register>

[Byrthnoth]

Or you could use raw_register_event in gearswap with the time change function and not rely on autoexec. I didn't add that kind of functionality explicitly because it's so easy to add it yourself.

[Landsoul]

Here's my manawall code.

function buff_change(buff,gain_or_loss)
	if buff=='Mana Wall' then
		if gain_or_loss then
			equip(sets.ManaWall)
			disable('feet')
		else
			enable('feet')
		end
	end
end

Tried it but won't work for me. It just keeps switching gear when I engage or cast spells.

hear is my zone change code

function reg_event.zone_change(new_id,old_id) --zone change event
    local zones = res.zones
    local new = zones[new_id].name
    local old = zones[old_id].name
    coroutine.sleep(4)
    --run code
end
windower.raw_register_event('zone change', .zone_change)

Are you actually trying to use it for Mana Wall? If not, can you post how you modified it?

[Ithorien]

That was enough to dig it out of Mote's sheets, thank you; since maintenance is still going can't test but I have faith it will work.

[frodnonnag]

I'm running with an outdated (and modified) mote's smn script and the recent update has re-introduced the smn midcast set issue. it seems the midcast set is swapping out to idle before/as the pact lands. making most pacts land in the wrong outfit and cratering my damage output noticeably.
Any ETA on fixing this or anything specific i can do to correct it? i'm not the only one in my LS with this issue.
