I'm having a problem with my BLU lua, every time I use Unbridled Learning > Mighty Guard is does not equip precast sets even if I were to do Diffusion > UL > MG but if I were to do UL > Diffusion > MG everything works properly. Is there anyway to fix that?

if you cast spells to fast sometimes you will hit aftercast after you cast the next spell for the previous spell

[Byrthnoth]

Also, you need the buff (Unbridled Learning / Wisdom) before GearSwap would predict that your cast attempt would be successful.

i forgot about that
if (Unbridled Learning / Wisdom) buff has not been recived in the buff packet it will send any spell that requires it to filtered_action(spell) and this is actually a feature of gearswap

hear is how you do an auto (Unbridled Learning / Wisdom)

ulspell = ""
function filtered_action(spell)
    bluspellul = T{'Harden Shell','Pyric Bulwark','Carcharian Verve'}--this list can be added to at any time
    if bluspellul.contains(spell.name) then
        cancel_spell()
        if windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[81] and windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[81] == 0 then
            ulspell = spell.name
            send_command('input /ja "Unbridled Learning" <me>')
        elseif windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[254] and windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[254] == 0 then
            ulspell = spell.name
            send_command('input /ja "Unbridled Wisdom" <me>')
        else
            add_to_chat(9,"Can not use "..spell.name.." because (Unbridled Learning / Wisdom) is on recast")
        end
    end
end
function aftercast(spell)
    if spell.namm == "Unbridled Learning" or spell.name == "Unbridled Wisdom" and not ulspell == "" then
        send_command('input /ma "'..ulspell..'" <me>')
        ulspell = ""
    end
end

the above code allowes you to just cast the spell from a macro to auto cast (Unbridled Learning / Wisdom) is on recast") when needed
im not sure is thoes blue spells are grayed out if you do not have the needed buff

[SephYuyX]

like this

function midcast(spell)
    if spell.english == "Stoneskin" and sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill], neck="Stoneskin Torque")
    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill])    
    end
end

Using this gives me an error of "expecting ')' near '='" on the time with the additional equip.
I changed it to include brackets and it worked.

function midcast(spell)
    if spell.english == "Stoneskin" and sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill], {neck="Stoneskin Torque"})
    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill])    
    end
end

In any case, I changed it to equip from a separate set defined previously.

function midcast(spell)
    if spell.english == "Stoneskin" and sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast.Stoneskin)
    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill])    
    end
end

Much thanks, that will give me a good start.
I'll have to further add weather and magicburst, but at least I have a base now.

Additionally, I am getting a random error when ever I sell or take something down from the AH, and exit from the AH menu.
This has happened from the very start before any modifications to anything.

"Lua runtime error: gearswap/gearswap.lua:362: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)"

Looking at the lua..

    elseif id == 0x01E then
        local bag = to_windower_api(res.bags[data:byte(0x09)].english)
        local slot = data:byte(0x0A)
        local count = data:unpack('I',5)
        if not items[bag][slot] then items[bag][slot] = make_empty_item_table(slot) end
        items[bag][slot].count = count
        if count == 0 then
            items[bag][slot].id = 0
            items[bag][slot].bazaar = 0
            items[bag][slot].status = 0
        end

Line 362 is:
if not items[bag][slot] then items[bag][slot] = make_empty_item_table(slot) end

Any idea on why this is happening? Bug?

Edit: Also just happened after I got my daily gobbie item.

[Byrthnoth]

Do you have access to all bags?

...

sorry about that i keep forgetting those
also
this is not needed with the way you are using it
if spell.english == "Stoneskin" and sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
just use this
if spell.english == "Stoneskin" then
i added in this and sets.midcast[spell.skill] because i the code i posted used equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill], and i did not want it to error if for some reason you removed that set because set errors can be mind numming to find

[SephYuyX]

Do you have access to all bags?

I also get the error when getting money from AH sells from moogle. Also randomyl when I was testing in the field (i'm guessing when a mob dropped an item).

As far as I know I have them all?
Mog Safe
Mog Safe 2
Storage
Mog Locker
Mog Satchel
Mog Sack
Mog Case
Mog Wardrobe
-All with 80 item capactiy



Thanks again for the corrections, dlsmd.




Oh, also, is there any way to verify precast is equipping properly? Aside from checking cast times and recast (and I know the gear is spelt correctly because I pasted to midcast to make sure). I just have a need to verify somehow that all the gear is getting swapped in before the spell :E but I guess that's probably not possible.

[Rehn]

type "/console gs showswaps" and it'll chatlog spam you with gears swapped. Just type it again to toggle it off.

Rock on, that's nice.
Yeah, I guess I should read documentation..

[Trumpy]

I'm having a problem with my BLU lua, every time I use Unbridled Learning > Mighty Guard is does not equip precast sets even if I were to do Diffusion > UL > MG but if I were to do UL > Diffusion > MG everything works properly. Is there anyway to fix that?

I had a similiar problem with this when Mighty Guard first came out (It wouldnt equip my diffusion gear when it should have, but it would with any other spell including UL spell except Mighty guard.). I cant remember specifically where it was but it was in one of the gearswap lua files that mighty guard had to be added to a list or soemthing about unbridled learning. there arent too many gearswap files you could probably jsut search them for unbridled learning and see if there is a list of spells or whatnot that is lackin mighty guard. I think Byrnth had fixed it and it somehow got removed for a day and then refixed. I will have to check on my other pc for it and I will report back. So that could be your issue. Ever since that part got fixed I notice now and then my diffusion gear wouldnt get equipped still and i think in those cases it was a packet loss.

[SephYuyX]

Any thoughts why the obi set wouldn't be called? No errors or anything, just seems to skip it all together and equips the usual precast set.

sets.midcast.Obis = {}
		sets.midcast.Obis.Earth = {waist="Dorin Obi",lring="Zodiac Ring",back="Twilight Cape"}
		sets.midcast.Obis.Water = {waist="Suirin Obi",lring="Zodiac Ring",back="Twilight Cape"}
		sets.midcast.Obis.Wind = {waist="Furin Obi",lring="Zodiac Ring",back="Twilight Cape"}
		sets.midcast.Obis.Fire = {waist="Karin Obi",lring="Zodiac Ring",back="Twilight Cape"}
		sets.midcast.Obis.Ice = {waist="Hyorin Obi",lring="Zodiac Ring",back="Twilight Cape"}
		sets.midcast.Obis.Lightning = {waist="Rairin Obi",lring="Zodiac Ring",back="Twilight Cape"}
		sets.midcast.Obis.Light = {waist="Korin Obi",lring="Zodiac Ring",back="Twilight Cape"}
		sets.midcast.Obis.Dark = {waist="Anrin Obi",lring="Zodiac Ring",back="Twilight Cape"}

function midcast(spell)
    if spell.english == "Stoneskin" then
        equip(sets.midcast.Stoneskin)
	elseif spell_element == world.weather_element or spell_element == world.day_element then
		equip(sets.midcast.Obis[spell_element])
    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill])

    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill])    
    end
end

it looks like you grabbed parts of that obi setup from my include but its wrong that way you did it

res = require 'resources'
function midcast(spell)
    if spell.english == "Stoneskin" then
        equip(sets.midcast.Stoneskin)
    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill])    
    end
    local spell_element = (type(spell.element)=='number' and res.elements[spell.element] or res.elements:with('name', spell.element))
    if spell_element.name == world.weather_element or spell_element.name == world.day_element then
        equip(sets.midcast.Obis[spell_element.name])
    end
end

or this way (but from time to time gearswap messes up spell.element why we dont know)

function midcast(spell)
    if spell.english == "Stoneskin" then
        equip(sets.midcast.Stoneskin)
    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill])    
    end
    if spell.element == world.weather_element or spell.element == world.day_element then
        equip(sets.midcast.Obis[spell.element])
    end
end

this is my original code

res = require 'resources'
e_obi = {}
Typ = {abilitys = S{'/jobability','/pet','/weaponskill','/monsterskill','/range'},}
sets.spell_obi={Fire={waist="Karin Obi"},Earth={waist="Dorin Obi"},Water={waist="Suirin Obi"},Wind={waist="Furin Obi"},Ice={waist="Hyorin Obi"},
    Lightning={waist="Rairin Obi"},Light={waist="Korin Obi"},Dark={waist="Anrin Obi"},}
function e_obi.midcast(status,event,spell)--equips correct obi
    if not Typ.abilitys:contains(spell.prefix) and spell.action_type ~= "Item" then
        local spell_element = (type(spell.element)=='number' and res.elements[spell.element] or res.elements:with('name', spell.element))
        if spell_element.name == world.weather_element or spell_element.name == world.day_element then
            if player.inventory["Hachirin-no-Obi"] or player.wardrobe["Hachirin-no-Obi"] then
                sets.building[event] = set_combine(sets.building[event], {waist="Hachirin-no-Obi"})
            elseif player.inventory[sets.spell_obi[spell_element.en].waist] or player.wardrobe[sets.spell_obi[spell_element.en].waist] then
                sets.building[event] = set_combine(sets.building[event], sets.spell_obi[spell_element.en])
            end
        end
    end
end

1)i added the local spell_element to correct its self when gearswap gets buggy on spell.element
2)this code will also cause it to go off on every ability that matches that rule even things you wight not want it to thats why i have the if not Typ.abilitys:contains(spell.prefix) line

this is the best way to do it you will get your spells gear and your obi stuff added on top of it

res = require 'resources'
function midcast(spell)
    if spell.english == "Stoneskin" then
        equip(sets.midcast.Stoneskin)
    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill], obi_select(spell))    
    end
end
function obi_select(spell)
    local non_obi = S{'/jobability','/pet','/weaponskill','/monsterskill','/range'}
    if not Typ.abilitys:contains(spell.prefix) and spell.action_type ~= "Item" then
        local spell_element = (type(spell.element)=='number' and res.elements[spell.element] or res.elements:with('name', spell.element))
        if spell.element.name == world.weather_element or spell.element.name == world.day_element then
            return sets.midcast.Obis[spell.element.name]
        end
        return {}
    end
    return {}
end

--edit--
sorry code mistake

[SephYuyX]

I see.. Easy to miss these things.
I had

equip(sets.midcast.Obis[spell_element])

and replaced with

equip(sets.midcast.Obis[spell.element])

and worked right away.

I saw "spell.element == buffactive[elements.storm_of[spell.element]]" in an older lua file. Should that still work for SCH spells?

spell.element == world.weather_element or spell.element == world.day_element or spell.element == buffactive[elements.storm_of[spell.element]]

Well, I tried that, and it didnt work. It doesnt like 'elements' and fails to index it globally.




I'll try it this way for now, but like you said if it starts messing up, i'll try the other methods.

Why do you prefer this way

function midcast(spell)
    if spell.english == "Stoneskin" then
        equip(sets.midcast.Stoneskin)
    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill])    
    end
    if spell.element == world.weather_element or spell.element == world.day_element then
        equip(sets.midcast.Obis[spell.element])
    end
end

Over this way

function midcast(spell)
    if spell.english == "Stoneskin" then
        equip(sets.midcast.Stoneskin)
    elseif spell.element == world.weather_element or spell.element == world.day_element then
	equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill],sets.midcast.Obis[spell.element])
    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill])    
    end
end

    end
    if spell.element == world.weather_element or spell.element == world.day_element then
        equip(sets.midcast.Obis[spell.element])
    end
end

    equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill],sets.midcast.Obis[spell.element])
    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill])    
    end
end

actually i prefer this way because it will:
1) not equip obi for these abilitys'/jobability','/pet','/weaponskill','/monsterskill','/range' or for items
2) because you can get some of the benefits from your gear sets and your obi's

res = require 'resources'
function midcast(spell)
    if spell.english == "Stoneskin" then
        equip(sets.midcast.Stoneskin)
    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill], obi_select(spell))    
    end
end
function obi_select(spell)
    local non_obi = S{'/jobability','/pet','/weaponskill','/monsterskill','/range'}
    if not Typ.abilitys:contains(spell.prefix) and spell.action_type ~= "Item" then
        local spell_element = (type(spell.element)=='number' and res.elements[spell.element] or res.elements:with('name', spell.element))
        if spell_element.name == world.weather_element or spell_element.name == world.day_element then
            return sets.midcast.Obis[spell_element.name]
        end
        return {}
    end
    return {}
end

example:
what happens with out obi triggered this is what you equip

sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'] = {
    main="Lathi",
    head="Nahtirah Hat",
    neck="Orunmila's Torque",
    ear1="Enchanter Earring +1",
    ear2="Loquacious Earring",
    body="Anhur Robe",
    hands="Hagondes Cuffs",
    lring="Prolix Ring",
    rring="Veneficium Ring",
    back="Swith Cape +1",
    waist="Witful Belt",
    legs="Artsieq Hose",
    feet="Chelona Boots +1"}

but with obi triggered you will equip this

sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'] = {
    main="Lathi",
    head="Nahtirah Hat",
    neck="Orunmila's Torque",
    ear1="Enchanter Earring +1",
    ear2="Loquacious Earring",
    body="Anhur Robe",
    hands="Hagondes Cuffs",
    lring="Zodiac Ring"
    rring="Veneficium Ring",
    back="Twilight Cape",
    waist=obi
    legs="Artsieq Hose",
    feet="Chelona Boots +1"}

how ever with your code when obi is triggered you will only equip this

sets.midcast['obi'] = {
    lring="Zodiac Ring"
    back="Twilight Cape",
    waist=obi}

[SephYuyX]

Well, I did modify it to:

elseif spell.element == world.weather_element or spell.element == world.day_element then
     equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill],sets.midcast.Obis[spell.element])

Which does the job, but, I didn't know if how you had you if / ifelse statements made a difference in effectiveness.

if your going to do it that way do this

elseif (spell.element == world.weather_element or spell.element == world.day_element) and sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
     equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill],sets.midcast.Obis[spell.element])

the () separates the to need two be true statements and the and sets.midcast[spell.skill] will verify that you have that set because if you dont it will error
but i still say the best way is like this (upgraded from the last one)

function midcast(spell)
    if spell.english == "Stoneskin" then
        equip(sets.midcast.Stoneskin)
    elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
        equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill], obi_select(spell))--this will do both gear sets and obi in one go
    else
        equip(obi_select(spell))--this will cover obi for thoes sets you dont have but still want obis on
    end
end
function obi_select(spell)
    local non_obi = S{'/jobability','/pet','/weaponskill','/monsterskill','/range'}
    if not Typ.abilitys:contains(spell.prefix) and spell.action_type ~= "Item" then
        local spell_element = (type(spell.element)=='number' and gearswap.res.elements[spell.element] or gearswap.res.elements:with('name', spell.element))
        if spell_element.name == world.weather_element or spell_element.name == world.day_element then
            return sets.midcast.Obis[spell_element.name]
        end
    end
    return {}
end

just remember that for spell.skill it can be all of these and you would need a set for each unless you want to have error galore

Gotcha, i'll work that in.

Also, so far it looks like the answer is "not possible", is there any logic in gearswap to predict the target mob is being affected by a magicburst event and automatically utilize mb gear? I understand that there are manual binds, etc that can be done to toggle to mb gear use, but I wasnt able to find out if there is any automatic way to know that an mb is happening and use the appropriate gear.
