this is the oldest version of my display that i have as an example(it will probably cause a crap ton of errors tho)
http://pastebin.com/vzL4w2ht
-function initialize --creates the display
-function grab_switches --grabs the switches(the things in initialize surrounded with {}) max one per line
-function updatedisplay --updates the display switches to the latest data(from grab_switches)
-function mouse --a windower mouse control interface
-function menu_commands --use the switches from grab_switches to send command

Nostrum was hard to understand for me

Thanks for this info. I'll try it again once I get time.

Having some issues getting a simple melee lua to work. Been working with someone from FFXIAH for a week to get this going, with some success, but now it simply won't work at all.

Forum won't let me post links yet, so I put the lua in a spoiler.

Spoiler: show

What I want it to do is equip a TP set when engaging a mob, equip a WS set before WS, back to TP set after the WS is done, then to an Idle set when disengaging.

if that all you want to do your doing it wrong
try this

Code:

function get_sets()

    -- This set will be equipped when idle
    sets.Idle = {
    main="Eminent Lance",
    sub="Pole Grip",
    ammo="Thew Bomblet",
    head="Twilight Helm",
    body="Twilight Mail",
    hands="Lncr. Vmbrc. +1",
    legs="Lncr. Cuissots +1",
    feet="Lncr. Schynbld. +1",
    waist="Goading Belt",
    back="Atheling Mantle",
    neck="Orochi Nodowa",
    left_ear="Brutal Earring",
    right_ear="Kemas Earring",
    left_ring="Dark Ring",
    right_ring="Dark Ring",
    }


    -- This set will be equipped when engaging the enemy
    sets.Engaged = {
    main="Eminent Lance",
    sub="Pole Grip",
    ammo="Thew Bomblet",
    head="Espial Cap",
    body="Espial Gambison",
    hands="Espial Bracers",
    legs="Espial Hose",
    feet="Espial Socks",
    waist="Goading Belt",
    back="Atheling Mantle",
    neck="Chivalrous Chain",
    left_ear="Brutal Earring",
    right_ear="Kemas Earring",
    left_ring="Rajas Ring",
    right_ring="Heed Ring",
    }

    -- This set will be equipped before Drakesbane used
    sets.precast = {}
    sets.precast.Drakesbane = {
    main="Eminent Lance",
    sub="Pole Grip",
    ammo="Thew Bomblet",
    head="Espial Cap",
    body="Espial Gambison",
    hands="Espial Bracers",
    legs="Espial Hose",
    feet="Espial Socks",
    waist="Warwolf Belt",
    back="Atheling Mantle",
    neck="Agasaya's Collar",
    left_ear="Brutal Earring",
    right_ear="Kemas Earring",
    left_ring="Rajas Ring",
    right_ring="Spiral Ring",
    }
end

function status_change(new,old)
    if sets[new] then
        equip(sets[new])
    end
end

function aftercast(spell)
    if sets[player.status] then
        equip(sets[player.status])
    end
end

function precast(spell)
    if spell.english == 'Drakesbane' then
        equip(sets.precast.Drakesbane)
    end
end

FINALLY! YES!
It works perfectly! Tested it with //gs showswaps active and everything changes out the way it should!
Thank you so much! Been working on getting this thing to work for a week xD

Took that fixed lua, and changed it around to work for my roommate's THF. Now I am trying to add a function to equip her Utsusemi casting -% set, but it doesn't seem to work.

Here is the set (for now):

Spoiler: show

And here is the function (or so I thought):

Spoiler: show

Here is the full lua, in case:

Spoiler: show

What did I do wrong? Assuming its a tiny error somewhere that I'm overlooking.

**Modoru** · 2016-04-20 12:11

Think you have to specify the spell, not just 'Utsusemi'.

Take this as an example:

Code:

if spell.skill == 'Ninjutsu' then
        equip(sets.precast.Fastcast)
        if windower.wc_match(spell.name,'Utsusemi*') then
            equip(sets.precast.Utsusemi)
        end

Similarly, use Byrth's example code to go on:

Code:

function midcast(spell)
	if string.find(spell.english,'Utsusemi') then
		equip(sets.Utsusemi)
	end
end

Neither of those worked :/
Even had //gs showswaps on to check.

the issue is you can only have one function with the same name so do it like this

Code:

function get_sets()
    -- This set will be equipped when idle
    sets.Idle = {
    main="Eminent Dagger",
    sub="Pukulatmuj",
    range="Raider's Boomerang",
    head="Espial Cap",
    body="Espial Gambison",
    hands="Espial Bracers",
    legs="Espial Hose",
    feet="Espial Socks",
    waist="Nusku's Sash",
    back="Amemet Mantle +1",
    neck="Agasaya's Collar",
    left_ear="Brutal Earring",
    right_ear="Suppanomimi",
    left_ring="Heed Ring",
    right_ring="Rajas Ring",
    }

    -- This set will be equipped when casting Utsusemi
    sets.precast = {}
    sets.Utsusemi = {
    neck="Magoraga Beads",
    }


    -- This set will be equipped when engaging the enemy
    sets.Engaged = {
    main="Eminent Dagger",
    sub="Pukulatmuj",
    range="Raider's Boomerang",
    head="Espial Cap",
    body="Espial Gambison",
    hands="Espial Bracers",
    legs="Espial Hose",
    feet="Espial Socks",
    waist="Nusku's Sash",
    back="Amemet Mantle +1",
    neck="Agasaya's Collar",
    left_ear="Brutal Earring",
    right_ear="Suppanomimi",
    left_ring="Heed Ring",
    right_ring="Rajas Ring",
    }

    -- This set will be equipped before Evisceration used
    sets.precast = {}
    sets.precast.Evisceration = {
    main="Eminent Dagger",
    sub="Pukulatmuj",
    range="Raider's Boomerang",
    head="Espial Cap",
    body="Espial Gambison",
    hands="Espial Bracers",
    legs="Espial Hose",
    feet="Espial Socks",
    waist="Raider's Belt",
    back="Amemet Mantle +1",
    neck="Agasaya's Collar",
    left_ear="Brutal Earring",
    right_ear="Suppanomimi",
    left_ring="Heed Ring",
    right_ring="Rajas Ring",
    }
end

function status_change(new,old)
    if sets[new] then
        equip(sets[new])
    end
end

function aftercast(spell)
    if sets[player.status] then
        equip(sets[player.status])
    end
end

function precast(spell)
    if spell.name:startswith("Utsusemi") then
        equip(sets.precast.Utsusemi)
    elseif spell.english == 'Evisceration' then
        equip(sets.precast.Evisceration)
    end
end

here is some useful info in case you need it http://pastebin.com/GLdhjSuR

The problem is there is no spell called "Utsusemi". There are a few ways in addition to the ways Modoru already said to detect

Code:

if S{"Utsusemi: Ichi", "Utsusemi: Ni", "Utsusemi: San"}:contains (spell.name) then

or

if spell.name:startswith("Utsusemi") then

Is there something i can add into my LUA or an addon for windower that will auto turn your toon when a mob puts dread spikes up and keep it turned until the effect is gone?

no the closest you can find is gaze_check

**Martel** · 2016-04-25 16:40

Does anyone know if the buff data displayed when you target a party member is exposed to luacore? and if so, where?

Is that part of another table? I get nil when trying to call it.

**namfoodle** · 2016-04-25 17:20

So I recently started messing around with Gearswap. One of the things I wanted to try was skilling up while I was in the midst of writing on smn. It's going to take...a while. It works fine until I get to Alexander then it says I need to be in Astral Flow.

I've tried adding Alexander to skipped spells but it doesn't seem to actually skip anything. Any suggestions?

**dlsmd** · 2016-04-25 17:30

as i said i dont know the layout
but this will tell you

Code:

for i, v in pairs(partybuffs) do
    print(i,v)--print to windower console
end

can you please let me know the results

**Byrthnoth** · 2016-04-25 17:38

Within the user environment, it should be accessed through the party or alliance[1] tables. (the party table is the alliance[1] table)

party[0].buffactive, party[1].buffactive, alliance[1][2].buffactive, etc.
