Friend is getting a constant error while trying to weaponskill, and won't swap. Only if he does it from the menu, but then it only swaps the helm for breaths. error in user function pretarget: file.lua:474: attempt to compare number with nil

**Trumpy** · 2015-09-06 00:32

you mean it wont swap gear for WS unless he uses WS from the menu?

Line 474

Code:

if abil_recasts[spell.recast_id] > 1 and not spell.recast_id == 231 then

Other than weapon skills not havin a recast (maybe should put the weaponskill section above the ability section cause they fall under abilities i believe.)...
could it be that you are using both spell and abil in the same part? both abils and spells have different recast IDs. (the spell.recast_id of 231 is Bio 2 and ability.recast_id of 231 is strategems.) Is the point of this line to check if the ability is ready to use and cancel otherwise? If not, I am not really sure what the purpose of this line even is with the not spell recast id 231.

Code:

  if midaction() or pet_midaction() then
                cancel_spell()
                return

The only other thing i can think of is the cancel during a pet midcast action part, Im not sure how drg works (how fast does the wyvern breath go off, could it be interfering with the WS swap?) I do know when I have used midaction cancelling before it seems to cancel things for a bigger window than it takes to do the action that is already being used. Like if i had it for magic spells like cure and i spammed my cure macro It wouldnt let any cures after the first go until i hit the macro 4 or 5 times sometimes (even if the first cure spell was done with when i hit the macro the 2nd time.) Thats why I just dont use that feature anymore.

Maybe You should turn some of those elseif statements into just separate if statements. All the elseif statements means its going thru all those elseif statements til one is true and then it processes that specific elseif statement and goes onto the next if statement (not the next elseif statement) if im correct in my thinkin.

Also
Line 461

Code:

elseif spell.action_type == 'Magic' or spell.type == "Ninjutsu" or spell.type == "BardSong" or spell.type == "Geomancy" or spell.type == "SummonerPact" then -- Auto Use Echo Drops If You Are Silenced --

Ninjutsu bardsong geomancy (and summonerpact if that means the summoning spell) all fall under magic so those are redundant.

as Trumpy said spell.action_type == 'Ability' covers all these

Code:

--spell.type
    JobAbility
    PetCommand
    CorsairRoll
    Samba
    Waltz
    Jig
    Step
    Flourish1
    Flourish2
    Flourish3
    Scholar
    Effusion
    Rune
    Ward
    CorsairShot
    BloodPactWard
    BloodPactRage
    Monster
    WeaponSkill
--spell.skill
    Hand-to-Hand
    Dagger
    Sword
    Great Sword
    Axe
    Great Axe
    Scythe
    Polearm
    Katana
    Great Katana
    Club
    Staff
    Archery
    Marksmanship
    Throwing

and spell.action_type == 'Magic' covers all these

Code:

--spell.type
    WhiteMagic
    BlackMagic
    SummonerPact
    Ninjutsu
    BardSong
    Geomancy
    BlueMagic
    Trust
--spell.skill
    Divine Magic
    Healing Magic
    Enhancing Magic
    Enfeebling Magic
    Elemental Magic
    Dark Magic
    Summoning Magic
    Ninjutsu
    Singing
    Blue Magic

so all of this will be skiped every time if its not a Stratagems under the recast id of 231
also any rules that you put in pretarget will only run if you use a macro or a chat command but never if you use a menu command which is why i dont use pretarget

the way i recommend building your rules is

example (precast):

Code:

function precast(spell)
    --put your spell cancle rules first
    if
    elseif
    else
    end
    --put your spell change rules second
    if
    elseif
    else
    end
    --put your gear change rules last
    if
    elseif
    else
    end
end

this will allow you to have tighter controls over the order of things that happen
the reason why this order i recommend is
1. if you cant cast the spell you want there is no point in changing it or changing gear
2. if you want to change your spell there is no point to changeing your gear yet

note:
if you want to change to another spell if the spell you want can not be used put another section at the top for changing spells if the current spell is not usable
note 2:
yes this will make it larger but it is less susceptible to errors in order

as you can see by this file http://pastebin.com/KHpgXzyh i have spent a lot of time on my spell control and i always put it first in my rules
with this

Code:

    if spell_stopper(spell) then
        cancel_spell()
        return
    end

Is there anyway to do a add to chat line that has more than one color?

add_to_chat(039, 'Ctrl+Alt+F: [ 1 Help ] [ 4 Addons ]')

If i want just [ 4 Addons ] to be color 039 (red for me) and the rest be color 158 (green for me)

I am thinking it has to be possible somehow cause the addon porter prints out in one line 2 colors.

**dlsmd** · 2015-09-07 16:06

add_to_chat actually send the text as if it was received in the chat line in ffxi
so
1 = say
4 = tell
8 = call for help
121 = system
etc.
so no not to chat in the same line as far as i know
but you should be able to print it in one line
like this
print('red = '..('yes'):text_color(255,0,0)..', green '..('yes'):text_color(0,255,0)..', blue = '..('yes'):text_color(0,0,255))
here is a good place to get the color codes you want
http://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.htm

if you find a color code that looks like this
#??????
you can break it out like this
drop the # you'll have ?????? left
the first 2 are red
the second 2 are green
the third 2 are blue
??,??,?? convert them from hex to decimal
example (blue violet):
8A,2B,E2 = 138,43,226

then you have your color code

**Trumpy** · 2015-09-07 17:32

this is line 137 in the porter addon.

Code:

windower.add_to_chat(
                        55,
                        ('slip '..printable_slip_number..'/page '..tostring(slip_page and slip_page or math.ceil(item_position / 16)):lpad('0', 2)..':'):color(259)..' '..
                        item_names[item_id]:color(is_contained and 258 or 261)
                    )

When you type //porter 11 for example it lists all the items u can store on it. Items u have stored are a different color than ones u dont have on it. but the item name in either case is a different color than the beginning of the line that says what slip and page the item is on. I just cant figure out how to use it for my purposes. Cause of all the porter specific stuff there, Im not sure what parts are just for the add to chat and whats for the addon exactly. I was hoping someone who knows code better than me could spot what could be eliminated from it to just produce a normal add to chat line with more than 1 color if possible. If its not possible though ill just make due how i have been.

try this (the first 2 should be the same color the last one should be different)
but you might need to require ('chat') im not sure if this is exposed in gearswap
windower.add_to_chat(55, 'test1 '..('test2 '):color(55)..''..('test3 '):color(99))

you could also try this but i dont know if it will work
windower.add_to_chat(55, 'Channnel color'..('Red '):text_color(255,0,0)..''..('Green '):text_color(0,255,0)..''..('Blue '):text_color(0,0,255))

**Trumpy** · 2015-09-07 18:49

Sweet the first one looks like it will suit my purposes. It printed out "test1 test2 test3" with the first two being blue and the "test3" being white. Thanks so much!

The second one printed all in blue until it word wrapped (which always turns text white on the excess. at my resolution it starts word wrapping at "255) Blue" near the end)
"Channnel color\cs(255, 0, 0)Red \cr\cs(0, 255,0)Green \cr\cs(0, 0, 255) Blue \cr"

ok good but the first one is based on your chat color settings so you will need to figure out what those colors are from 1 to 511 (i think)

can you try these for me and let mne know if im correct
windower.add_to_chat(55, 'test1 '.. ('test2 '):color(99,55)..'test3') --(test3 should be the same color as test1)
windower.add_to_chat(55, 'test1 '.. ('test2 '):color(99)..'test3') --(test3 should be the same color as test2)

if i am then its
color(new_color, reset_color)

**Trumpy** · 2015-09-07 20:03

Yea im fine with picking the colors i just needed the know how on how to do multi colors on one line. This will be amazeballs to implement for me... yea I know it doesnt take much for me when i can get something working correctly how i want it! (small victories!)

Both of your examples came out how you said they would. 1st was test 1 and 3 being the same. and 2nd was test 2 and 3 being the same color.

just do it like this

windower.add_to_chat(55, 'this is '..('how'):color(200,55)..' you '..('do'):color(100,55)..'it.')

if you wanted to do somthing like this
when test is true it says yes and when false it says no
with out color changes

Code:

test = true
windower.add_to_chat(55, 'test say = '..(test and 'yes' or 'no')..' your welcome')
test = false
windower.add_to_chat(55, 'test say = '..(test and 'yes' or 'no')..' your welcome')

with color changes

Code:

test = true
windower.add_to_chat(55, 'test say = '..(test and ('yes'):color(200,55) or ('no'):color(100,55))..' your welcome')
test = false
windower.add_to_chat(55, 'test say = '..(test and ('yes'):color(200,55) or ('no'):color(100,55))..' your welcome')

Anyone have a BST lua that doesn't rely on mote's stuff?

i only know of motes thats finished

but you can build your own using basic geearswap or you can use my include as well

**Bail** · 2015-09-10 06:00

Totally new to GS, was wondering if there is a way to swap the same pieces with different augments? Right now i'm just using the equipset macros in game.

Yes, you can have as many of the same piece with different augs as you wish and swap them freely

but you need to use the command
gs export
to get the correct augs for it tho(its easier then trying to do it manualy)

Currently making my own basic one since whenever I look at ones with mote stuff, I have no idea what I'm reading. I guess the issue for me is how to precast in merlin/desultor when doing ready, and then have it put in say MAB gear in time for cursed sphere/fireball?

**HitomeOfBismarck** · 2015-09-12 21:43

Edit: Turns out all I needed to do was restart Windower4 after modifying Mote-Mappings.lua. If anyone is having an issue where it won't equip enhancing magic gear, read on. All you have to do is add the following to Mote-Mappings.lua:

RDM 'Enhancing Magic'

Spoiler: show

lua reolad gearswap

Ok so, when trying to use blu's new unbridled learning spell Mighty Guard. with debug mode on it says.

Unable to execute command. Blue magic must be set to cast that spell (Mighty Guard)
Entering filtered_action.

then the usual buff changes due to diffusion, unbridled learning wearing and mighty guard being applied. Its in the resources as far as i can tell. in spell.lua its # 750. So basically it lets it cast but has no gear swappage. Id like my blu relic feet be equipped for it with diffusion. Other than using in game equipsets, how can I make gearswap use my feet during mighty guard's midcast (even if its a work around)?
