Gearswap Help Thread!

I'm at a loss on why my GearSwap file is doing this, but at least it's incredibly predictable and easy to replicate. Literally every OTHER cast fails to fully swap back into the appropriate Idle set after casting. The slots giving me trouble seem to be specifically neck, earrings, and rings. There may be others, but that's what I'm noticing anyway. Like I said, it happens ever other time. So, one after cast will fully swap into every set in the Idle or Town Idle set, but the next will certainly, without fail, fail to swap out the rings, earrings, and neck. I'm very new to this, and I was always self-taught when it came to Spellcast, so I'm probably looking something over that's very obvious/stupid. Any help would be incredibly appreciated!

I hate to be "that guy" (the "Bump" guy), but does anyone know what's wrong here?

Also, is there any way to correct enspells to automatically change, say Enstone, to automatically change to the correct enspell based on day/weather? I remember you could in Spellcast, but I'm not sure about GearSwap. Gunna take a look at some RDM ones.

--En spell auto convert
here is a basic one that does not check to see if you even have the spell or if your job can even use it(untested)

if spell.en:startswith("En") then
    local list={Dark="dark",Water="water",Earth="stone",Ice="blizzard",Fire="fire",Wind="aero",Lightning="thunder",Light="light"}
    if spell.en ~= "En"..list[world.day_element]..""..(spell.en:endswith(" II") and " II" or "") then
        cancel_spell()
        self_command('input;/ma "En'..list[world.day_element]..''..(spell.en:endswith(" II") and " II" or "")..'" <me>')
        return
    end
end

Awesome, thanks! What would the function line be?

put it near the top(above your en gear changes if you have them) of your precast or pretarget(if you only want it to activate when you use a macro or chat command) function

i set my functions up like this
1.spell stopers
2.spell changers
3.gear changers

[Belgaer]

It just keeps telling me "attempt to index global 'spell' (a nil value)" no matter where I put it. Sorry, not trying to have you hold my hand through this. >.<

[dlsmd]

the code i gave you works in basic gs

but...
it looks like your using mote include(i dont know much about it) if so it should be put in job_precast i think
just below this line
function job_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)

[Belgaer]

Hmmm. Well, the GearSwap file loads correctly now and it's half working, but it's just canceling the spell from happening at all unless it's the right spell for the day in the first place. It never tries to do the input part.

[dlsmd]

change this
self_command('input;/ma "En'..list[world.day_element]..''..(spell.en:endswith(" II") and " II" or "")..'" <me>')
to this
self_command('input /ma "En'..list[world.day_element]..''..(spell.en:endswith(" II") and " II" or "")..'" <me>')
my bad

[Belgaer]

Nope, still nothing. I'm currently running Walk of Echos, so it's double dark weather. I tried messing with the local list and such, but nothing I'm doing seems to be changing anything.

[dlsmd]

post your file please

[dlsmd]

try this

    if spell.en:startswith("En") then
        local slist={Dark="blizzard",Water="water",Earth="stone",Ice="blizzard",Fire="fire",Wind="aero",Lightning="thunder",Light="fire"}
        if spell.en ~= 'En'..slist[world.day_element]..''..(spell.en:endswith(' II') and ' II' or '') then
            cancel_spell()
            windower.send_command('@input /ma "En'..slist[world.day_element]..''..(spell.en:endswith(' II') and ' II' or '')..'" <me>')
            return
        end
    end

if it does not work im lost
also the second local list is redundant so the first one is enuf

[Belgaer]

Oh, that was just something I added to try to experiment with it. My bad. The idea was that I thought maybe it was trying to have my cast Endark instead, due to the double dark weather, but I didn't have it because I wasn't on DRK.

I'll have to get back to you on that code after the maintenance.

EDIT: It's working! Thank you so much. Sorry it got complicated.

its no problem

Does anyone happen to know how to manually force a swap into a specific set? So, let's say I've got different Offense Modes to swap between, but I don't trust GearSwap to correctly swap me into all the right gear on the Aftercast. The reason I don't trust it is because it doesn't seem to do it seemlessly for me for whatever reason. So I like to hit an equipset macro after using WS's (GS seems to have less trouble here) and casting spells (and far more trouble here... Could it be the Precasts, Midcasts, and Aftercasts all not processing correctly together?)... So my question is, how do I use command inputs via macros in order to tell GearSwap to swap to my current Offense Mode's TP build? Does that make sense?

//gs equip <setname>

if you want to use gearswap to do a delayed set change you need to do it like this

gearswap.equip_sets:prepare('equip_command',nil,<setname>):schedule(<delaytimeinseconds>)

<setname>= table the set name you want to equip(example:sets.building.aftercast)
<delaytimeinseconds> = number second of delay(example: for 3.5 seconds use 3.5)
i wish we could give it any name we wanted but currently we cant

[Belgaer]

Ah, maybe I'll just forgo the fast cast precast stuff on my faster casting spells. Hmmm. Thanks for the info (again)


EDIT: It's not working. ._.

-- Normal melee group
		sets.engaged = {ammo="Mantis Eye",etc etc etc

That's the set name. I'm trying all sorts of stuff for my macro like "//gs equip sets.engaged", "//gs equip engaged", "//gs equip <sets.engaged>", etc. and any variation with /gs instead of //gs. >.<

//gs equip <setname>--from chat
gs equip <setname> --from windower console
command /gs equip <setname>--from macro (if its not command then its console)

So, using Mote's DNC lua + includes as a base, I've gotten pretty far with it and I'm mostly content with it.
But, the one thing I noticed recently, the way it's doing Skillchain gear isn't working out for me.

For those who don't know, the rule looks like this:

function job_post_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if spell.type == "WeaponSkill" then
        if state.Buff['Climactic Flourish'] then
            equip(sets.buff['Climactic Flourish'])
        end
        if state.SkillchainPending.value == true then
            equip(sets.precast.Skillchain)
        end
    end
end

function job_aftercast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if not spell.interrupted then
        if spell.english == "Wild Flourish" then
            state.SkillchainPending:set()
            send_command('wait 5;gs c unset SkillchainPending')
        elseif spell.type:lower() == "weaponskill" then
            state.SkillchainPending:toggle()
            send_command('wait 6;gs c unset SkillchainPending')
        end
    end
end

In short, when you Weaponskill (or use Wild Flourish) it sets SkillchainPending. If you Weaponskill and it's already on, it equips your Skillchain damage gear and turns SkillchainPending back off.

Now, my problem is, I VERY OFTEN do Double Darkness Skillchains. In this scenario, I'm setting the value to true, doing Darkness #1 and setting it to false, then doing Darkness #2 without it. Any suggestions on how to write this so it will always equip that set if I've used a WS in the past X seconds? Even if I change the "toggle" to "set", I'm still going to get "unset" after an amount of time for each WS.

Side note, I'd love to see other DNC luas.

you would need to know exactly how much time between ws's is allowed so that you can see if skill chaining is possible then you could setup a timmer after a ws to see if your in that window and if you are equip your skill chain gear

but there are 2 problems
--i dont know the max time available for skill chaining
--i know crap on how motes include works
