Did you want my full lua? I dont have a code started for it. Im not the best when it comes to LUA code just yet. I dont use mote-includes though. and I cant post URLs just yet either lol

Also: the LUA is on Pastebin right now
UEj81mKK

do you want it in but precast and midcast or just one of them??
and if you want it automated what are the triggers

I want it to be where any type of magic I cast goes into my sets.midcast.interruption. IE Bluemagic, Healing, Enhancing. ect. But only when I turn a toggle on. Its only for a few select fights. so I dont always need it to be Active. I am not sure where Interruption needs to be to take effect. I cant figure out if its precast or midcast or for the full cast. so I guess until I can figure out when Interruption takes place Both pre and midcast.

here is a quick and dirty way to do it(with one command for each mid/pre cast)

--add these to the top of your getsets() (interruption set default is off)
midcast_interruption = false
precast_interruption = false

--new commands are "mid-interrup" = midcast interruption set, "pre-interrup" = precast interruption set

function precast(spell)
    ...
    elseif spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
        if precast_interruption then
            equip(sets.midcast.interruption)
            return
        end
    ....
end
function midcast(spell)
    if spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
        if midcast_interruption then
            equip(sets.midcast.interruption)
            return
        end
        ....
end
function self_command(command)
    ...
    elseif command == 'mid-interrup' then
        midcast_interruption = not midcast_interruption
        send_command('@input /echo ----- Magic midcast interruption set to '..(midcast_interruption and "ON" or "OFF")..' -----')
    elseif command == 'pre-interrup' then
        precast_interruption = not precast_interruption
        send_command('@input /echo ----- Magic precast interruption set to '..(precast_interruption and "ON" or "OFF")..' -----')
    end
end

Thank you. I am currently trying to farm a spell. But Ill check to see if it works when I get done. I appreciate the help!

[maxplayer]

alright, So I have been toying around with it. I have it where its semi-working. I get the Precast interruption is ON or OFF working in /echo. But //gs showswaps is not showing it change to my set. Any idea?

[dlsmd]

its because the set name is sets.midcast.interrupt not sets.midcast.interruption my bad

[maxplayer]

even with the change to that, I cant find the right way to code the Pre-cast and Mid-cast. I dont know where to place it in those categories. I am sorry for the trouble lol. I have a feeling that there are different actions being done in the midcast and precast sections that overwrites the interruption. but I am not smart enough in LUA code to fix it myself.

the ... = first part of the code .... the rest of the code look at you original code and you will see where it goes
example:

 function midcast(spell)
     if spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
         equip(sets.midcast[spell.english])
         if spell.english:startswith('Cure') then
             if spell.target.name == player.name then
                 equip(sets.midcast.selfcure)
             else
                 equip(sets.midcast.cure)
             end
         end
     end
 end

with my code added in

 function midcast(spell)
     if spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
         equip(sets.midcast[spell.english])
         if spell.english:startswith('Cure') then
            if midcast_interruption then
                equip(sets.midcast.interruption)
                return
            end
             if spell.target.name == player.name then
                 equip(sets.midcast.selfcure)
             else
                 equip(sets.midcast.cure)
             end
         end
     end
 end

Having an issue getting Marsyas to pre-equip when /honormarch typed. Tried the Impact type route but using Mote's v2 gearswap I am assuming it's not defined somewhere somehow.

Also, how does one add these new spells into timers addon like Honor March?

Tried doing the same kind of thing with Mote's impact rule but no dice.

Try replacing helper_functions.lua with this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vzum8rq9lv...tions.lua?dl=0

[Reposado]

Was that for the durations? Still showing up as 2:30 when it's lasting 3 minutes, not a huge deal, but I still cannot get gearswap to even cast honor march. Keeps throwing ghorn in precast. I don't know how to fix this. Mote made it for me when I finished Daur. Sigh..

[Smacks]

Hello ! I'm using the command //gs validate to see if i have all gears the lua use in my inventory, but it doesn't check my wardrobe. Same problem with //gs validate inv.

Is it possible to fix that problem. With wardrobe2 incoming, most of my stuff will be in wardrobe1+2 so it will be more difficult to use these commands.

Thanks

When I hit F10 for my PDT gear, what do I press to swap out of it? Hitting it again or hitting the button for my offensive set doesn't seem to change me out of it?

[Kyte]

Assuming it's a PDT lock, I'd have to actually see your lua to give you an answer. If it happens to be a Mote one, then I think that uses alt+F12.

That works,thank you

Pretty much clueless when it comes to this stuff, got myself a BLM Lua off XIAH and running into some problems.

Pastebin here: http://pastebin.com/jYQFBTRM

1. It leaves me in my nuking gear after I'm done casting and doesn't go into an Idle set unless I rest
2. The Magic Burst Toggle that came with the sheet isn't working. I added a Spaekona Coat +1 toggle in myself and that works fine though.
3. As far as I can tell the Twilight Cape/Obi functions aren't working either.
4. Wondering how to write a function to lock my back slot when I turn on the Capacity toggle.

Those are the things I've noticed so far. Would appreciate any help.

You've downloaded one of THE most complex files out there for gearswap. In order to really deal with your issue, you would also have to find and post all of the other "includes" lua files that accompany your file.

1. your idle sets all start with nameofidleset = {main={sub = "subitem", etc.}}
Try deleting "main={" and one of the "}" at the end and see if that fixes your idle problems.
2. Don't see the logic that deals with setting the magic burst or the spaekona states
3. Do you have Hachirin-no-Obi? There is a set sets.midcast.Bonus that is set to equip the Hachirin-no-Obi and Twilight Cape in the event that weather/day element matches the element of the spell. Found in the function job_midcast starting on line 387
4. whereever the logic for the toggle is it would be similar to

if (state.Capacity.value) then
 equip({back="CapacityCape"})
 disable('back')
else
 enable('back')
end

no he is only using motes default include and organizer-lib both are part of gearswap's default install
i can tell because there are only 2 lines with
include(?????)
one for Mote-Include.lua and one for organizer-lib

if i knew more about motes include i would try to help
but here is the best i can do
1. you do not have any aftercast equips except for Mana Wall
2. if you did not see it here it is (you cant have 2 functions named the same the later one will overwrite all the previous ones)

function job_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' and state.MagicBurst.value then
        equip(sets.magic_burst)
    end
end

function job_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' and state.Spaekona.value then
        equip({body="Spae. Coat +1"})
    end
end

3. as far as i can tell it should be working (you can verify by using the command "gs show_swaps")
4. just as Shadowmeld said is a good way

[Shadowmeld]

I would still say that anything using the Mote-Include.lua is probably one of the most complex luas out there, but I didn't know that his includes were part of the gearswap framework now. That is nice. I'll have to look them up when I get home and see if I can find out what his issue is with #2 then.

i know and mine is the most complex one that i have ever seen
and #2 is in my post above
