did it change it was partybuffs

and so it should be
party[a].buffactive
alliance[b][a].buffactive
--a = the party slot?? 1-6 but i guess 1 would be redundant because that should be the player unless using alliance and on party 2 or 3
--b = party number 1-3
but there is also
party_buff_change(member_table,name,gain,buff_tabl e)

here is a function i created for checking party buffs of a specific party member

Code:

function partybuffcheck(name, buff) --return true if party member has any of buff list else it returns false
    local in_party = check_in_party(name)
     for pt_num,pt in ipairs(alliance) do
         for pos,party_position in ipairs(pt) do
             if party_position.name == name and party_position.buffactive[buff] then
                return true
             end
         end
     end
end

Edit: Got it working, had to take out the space in the initial line of HolyWater. Thanks Byrth.

I can't get this to work. I don't get any error messages or anything, it just doesn't change gear when i use items.
Could you please copy and paste exactly what you have in your gearswap, or is there anything else that has to be done along with it, that I could be missing? (I also can't get any function buff_change(buff,gain) commands to work either are these options broken atm?)

Is there like a core table, or a listing of the tables available to gearswap by default? I know about the player table, and now the party table, but I don't know how to look for the others.

I'm running into a problem where my gear wont update after performing a WS. After a mob is dead it will update to idle gear, and then upon engaging it will update to engage gear. Only way to fix it seems to reload the lua. This doesn't happen all the time, sometimes it will be fine. I'm wondering if this may be because of lag. Also is there a way to refresh a lua outside of reloading it? Can't post links yet, lua in spoiler.

Spoiler: show

no but it has to be enabled
====Commands====

gazecheck or gzc
auto_point -- will toggle on or off if you automatically turn towards claimed mob
auto_gaze -- will toggle on or off if you automatically turn away from mobs that use gaze attacks(only those that are instant not those that are long duration)
example in chat: //gzc auto_gaze

Hmmm, it was staring me right in the face. Doesn't seem to have the kinda table I'd need, though. I wanted to check for the existence of my alt character while on my main whether I'm i a party with them or not.

But thanks.

**dlsmd** · 2016-04-28 09:25

the only buttons i think you can bind are keyboard short cuts like ctrl+f1 or something like that
unless your controller software has it built in

This is also something Id like to know about. I have some code that i have binded to alt+control+F12. when I hit it it checks if i am BLM/BLM if not it checks if my mule is BLM/BLM if not it uses warp rings on both characters. But If my mule isnt online (right now i only have my main activated) it doesnt work cause of how I have it coded. But if i could check if the mule is even in the party and if not proceed to use ring/BLM check.

So wait, it always uses warp ring then?
You can't both main/sub BLM.

/sigh... It checks if you are main job blm OR sub job blm. both are capable of warping. I didnt want to have to write all that out thus the BLM/BLM.

This addon is pretty cool. the only thing i would change is _. I hate with such a passion use of _ everywhere. Back in the day for web addresses, they always used underscores instead of just putting the words together or sometimes instead of spaces where they could be use. It takes more effort and stretching to hit shift and reach the top of the keyboard instead of hit space. I guess I never got over that lol.

So since im not toooo computer coding smart. If i were to search the addon for underscores and remove them would everything work ok still? mainly the commands auto_point, auto_gaze,
and //lua l gaze_check. i dont want to mess anything up.

also if point is off and gaze is on will it turn away and then look back after? cause with both on it wont let me look away from a mob while im engaged at all. it jsut turns me right back. If i want to be able to turn if i had to and stay turned, but have it turn me when these moves are used and back, would that work? Im just curious.

there is no way to tell what your alts job is directly but if there in your party you can

1. i use _ to minimize my code and you cant use spaces in variable names in lua
2. if you removed all _ it will break the code
3. it will auto look back because it designed to only look away till the ability activation ends
-as i said long duration effects are alot harder to code the instant ones i do not feel like doing that
-it does not care if both are on or if auto_point is off it will do the same thing because when a gaze attack starts it will temporarily turn off auto_point
-if you want to change the file to gazecheck you can heck you can change it to gobldegook if you want
--but the commands will still be
--gazecheck or gzc
--auto_point -- will toggle on or off if you automatically turn towards claimed mob
--auto_gaze -- will toggle on or off if you automatically turn away from mobs that use gaze attacks
--example in chat: //gzc auto_gaze

note about gaze check:
it does not use chat to trigger when a gaze attack happens it uses the action packet

**Trumpy** · 2016-04-29 16:03

Yea that is why I have it check my warpability, if no it sends command to mule to check his warpability, if no he uses ring and sends command to use ring on main. Im sure I could write it better, but its what I came up with. But the problem being if mule isnt there it sends the command to nothing, then nothing comes back of course so Main never gets the command to use his ring. But if I can just simply see he is not in party, I can just skip that step and go right to ring.

-=---------------------------------------

Yea I dont want to remove ALL the _s. just the ones that are in commands. so i can type //gzc autopoint instead of //gzc auto_point. Just for stream lining typing the commands. If it messes it up though I prolly wont bother. Im not sure how often id be using those commands anyways.

I tried it out in abby vunker with 20 minotaurs wailing on me, and it turned awesomely for every mortal ray. It turned for petro eyes in escha zitah vs dragons. but i seem to get hit with petro eyes every time in ambuscade. I am prolly performing an action or something though when it goes off, Im not sure if that effects it. But all in all, this is a pretty rad addon u made there.

if your performing an action it does not care
sadly if there are 2+ mobs using the gaze ability on you at the same time you might look at the other one when you turn
(i have seen this as well and there is nothing i can do about it because you need to turn 180 to get a way from some mobs gaze attacks and it only watches your main target)
-there is a slim chance that the ability that its using is not in my database but im not sure i did find a new one for petro eyes adding now and im looking for other new ones

--edit--
gaze_check has been updated

if you have any more questions about gaze_check please ask on github so we dont spam this thread with stuff not about gearswap
