Was having this issue last week with ready moves sometimes.

Ended up just mashing my idle button after everything. Dunno if it changed.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this PLD LUA, modified it from a RUN LUA. I'm getting a " PLD.lua:80: attempt to index field 'precast' (a nil value) " error.

Looking to lock a body piece(Chasseur's Frac) when triple shot is active.

How would I write that into my lua?

**Byrthnoth** · 2015-05-22 16:36

Put:

Code:

sets.precast = {}

Before the line that throws the error, but if that is a motenten template then maybe you are doing something wrong.

**Martel** · 2015-05-22 16:36

The . in a set name indicates a.. subtable? I guess you'd call it. For sets.precast.WS to be made, sets.precast must already exist. you're using sets.precast.WS before sets.precast is established. Which is what's throwing that error.

Actually... looking closer those set names are really inconsistent. Your WS rules use sets.WS, as do some of your WS set names. But some WS are using set.precast.spellname which would make them get handled by your general precast rules not your WS specific rules.

Remove the .precast from your WS sets and that error should stop. Also, the resolution set needs to be sets.WS.Resolution.

And finally, use code tags. It's a lot easier to read. It's still fine to put that in a spoiler though.

Perfect, thanks for the help. Got it working.

I'm running on a fresh install of windower4 and gearswap trying to run the basic skillup script. However, when I try to cast a spell to get it going my game freezes and I get a "stopping skillup" notification. The box that typically has data in it is just a black box sitting in the the middle of my screen and when I scroll over it it also freezes the game. Any thoughts on this?

Wouldn't it be better to just specify spell.name == "Ready" ? Otherwise you'd e.g. swap axes when you used Sic, no?

**Falkirk** · 2015-05-23 03:58

There's no spell called "Ready".

I can't replicate the SMN issue.

It seems to be in high latency or high lag situations.

Ready is a job ability not a spell
Ready has these
spell.name == "Ready"
spell.type == "PetCommand"
spell.skill == "Ability"

**Falkirk** · 2015-05-23 15:27

The context is important here:

He wants to make a precast for Ready moves (i.e. when he uses /pet "Fireball" <me>). The simple way to accomplish that is to check for spell.type == "Monster", since BSTs don't actually use a "Ready" JA.

-- Nevermind, I found option in the forums settings for it --

I could use a bit of help, I'm newly back to ffxi and trying to set up gearswap for the first time. I used Kinematics as a template and tried to just copy in gear I had available. When I log in game with this I can load and unload gearswap with no error messages, but I'm also not getting any response at all in game from gearswap. //gs reload doesn't bring up any messages at all, and no gear is changed etc.

Spoiler: show

Any help with what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.

Fireball has
spell.name == "Fireball"
spell.type == "Monster"
spell.skill == "Ability"

if he wants to do it when his player uses the /pet "Fireball" <me> command
--this will only work until the player finishes his cast

Code:

function precast(spell)
    if spell.name == "Fireball" then
        --do something
    end
end

now if he just want to do something when his pet actually uses Fireball
--this will work untill the pet finishes its cast

Code:

function pet_midcast(spell)
    if spell.name == "Fireball" then
        --do something
    end
end

the order that things happen when using pet abilities is:
1.use command
2.precast
3.aftercast
4.pet_midcast -- the line in chat that says pet readies <ability>
5.pet_aftercast -- the line in chat that says pet uses <ability>

So I've been trying to get GearSwap to work at all, and I've swapped my gear into Mote's THF Lua. Lo and behold, it's broken as hell. It won't swap into the various sets at all, it seems intent on throwing on my idle and TH set at the same time and just staying there, doesn't swap to TP or WS sets. Any idea what could possibly be causing it?

Google doesn't find anything, and I've wasted a few hours trying to figure out what in the hell could be causing it.

**JustinS1985** · 2015-05-25 14:54

So I went and found another template, tried to input my gear into that one, getting an error User File problem: filepath every time I try to load it. Here's the new template as well, any help with what I'm doing wrong with either this one or the previous posted template would be appreciated.

EDIT Nvm

**Clash Perez** · 2015-05-25 23:09

Does anyone have an up-to-date DRK.lua? I grabbed the one listed in the Gearswap Shop thread and put my gear into it, but I'm getting a message that it's out-of-date.

I'm lua-illiterate, and I'm having a hard time telling what's different between the other job .luas I use and the DRK .lua to make it out-of-date.

Here's my current version: http://pastebin.com/i8XkdXDe

**Byrthnoth** · 2015-05-26 05:38

GearSwap never generates an "out of date" message, user files either work or they don't.

Motenten released a second include version at some point, and now v1 includes give an "out of date" message. So, if you get an "out of date" message then it's because you're still using the first version of his includes.
