i reedited your file to this
it includes a few fixes like
"replace the ? with the name of the set that corresponds to the following TP_ind number (in lowercase letters)" --this is what you needed to do
fixed the set command to equip(sets.TP[sets.TP.index[TP_ind]]) -- i thought you needed to use equip(sets.TP.index[TP_ind]) because that what was in your post
fixed comArgs numbering -- this was my mistake
changed your toggle command to cycle because toggle means (on/off) you were cycling not toggling --its better for understanding
changed --this was done for all thoes built the same way

TP_ind = TP_ind +1
if TP_ind > #sets.TP.index then TP_ind = 1 end

to this --as its the same thing but smaller and more efficient

TP_ind = (TP_ind % #sets.TP.index) + 1

Super helpful, thank you.

edit: Ok this is working much better, but going back to my original question (with your new edits):

How do I make a macro that changes to my DT TP set, and then also changes the TP_ind so that it stays in that DT set after my next action?

/console gs c ??????

[Subadai]

all tables are global except for those preceded by local
example

a = {}--global
local a = {}--local

and even if you have a global table and you make a local table with the same name you will get the tables in this priority
1. local
2. global (only if a local of the same name does not exist)

if you have this issue you need to check your global with _G.<your table name> or _G[<your table name string/number>]

here is more info you might need http://pastebin.com/GLdhjSuR

Thanks!

Trying to figure out why sometimes storms II duration is short. Without perp, storms are about 4:30ish. Sometimes when I use perp I get a weird duration in the 5-6 minute range. When perp works, duration is 11ish, which is what it should be.
And it's only on storms. Perp Regen, Phalanx, Adloquium, always works.

If anyone has any insight, I would appreciate it!

[dlsmd]

it could depend on
the game day you cast it on
your stats
or even that you have lag causing your gear not to equip in time

[Aja]

Yeah =/ I'm in stupid Dho Gates, only zone I get weird lag in sometimes. I kinda figured it was just that. Thx^^

I can't post a PasteBin link 'cause I just joined and the spam filter got me, so...let me retype my whole question \=

I haven't played in three years and I'm trying to set up GearSwap all over again. First: How does one change to Defense Mode? I can't find the command I would want to bind, so right now I just have a 'Normal' offense set and a 'Solo' party set that has more evasion.

Secondly: I see there's set.Engaged and set.Engaged.Solo sets...what about that separation for spells? For example, Dancer Waltzes in "Normal" offense mode would have enmity- when there's no better stat for the slot, but would swap it out for Enmity+ when in 'Solo/Tank' offense mode. I've tried:

(1)
if state.OffenseMode.value == "Normal" then
set.precast.Waltz = {<set>}
else set.precast.Waltz = {<set2>}

---------
(2)
set.Precast.Waltz = {
if <Normal> then <set>
else <set2>

Option 1 results in the first set being equipped, ignoring the second. Option 2 results in 'unexpected character near if'.

I think I figured it out!

I might have a fun question. (It was fun for me, I tried a lot of things to solve it but failed, lol)

How do I get rolltracker.lua's number-within-a-circle to work without including the chat resource? All I want is the circle and so I really don't want to add the overhead of chat-resources if I can just do a simple fix instead similar to the tries listed below.

Here's the code he uses, the code in chat that it references, and my various attempts.

--his code, this puts the numeric value of rollNum as a digit within a large circle. It's awesome.
chars['circle' .. rollNum]

-- chars['circle' refers to the below
circle =      string.char(0x81, 0xF8),

--I've tried
string.char(0x81, 0xF8) .. 5 --results in  5 to the right of the circle

--I also tried
[string.char(0x81, 0xF8), 5 ] --results in an error

--and
(string.char(0x81, 0xF8), 5)

--and I tried numerous slight tweaks to the above attempts, like adding/removing commas and moving parenthesis/brackets

Well, whadda you think? Thanks!

you need these

    -- circled numbers 1-20
    circle1 =     string.char(0x87, 0x40),
    circle2 =     string.char(0x87, 0x41),
    circle3 =     string.char(0x87, 0x42),
    circle4 =     string.char(0x87, 0x43),
    circle5 =     string.char(0x87, 0x44),
    circle6 =     string.char(0x87, 0x45),
    circle7 =     string.char(0x87, 0x46),
    circle8 =     string.char(0x87, 0x47),
    circle9 =     string.char(0x87, 0x48),
    circle10 =    string.char(0x87, 0x49),
    circle11 =    string.char(0x87, 0x4A),
    circle12 =    string.char(0x87, 0x4B),
    circle13 =    string.char(0x87, 0x4C),
    circle14 =    string.char(0x87, 0x4D),
    circle15 =    string.char(0x87, 0x4E),
    circle16 =    string.char(0x87, 0x4F),
    circle17 =    string.char(0x87, 0x50),
    circle18 =    string.char(0x87, 0x51),
    circle19 =    string.char(0x87, 0x52),
    circle20 =    string.char(0x87, 0x53),

or

if rollNum > 0 and rollNum < 21 then
    string.char(0x87, (63 + rollNum))
end

Thanks dslmd! I noticed the circle #s 1-20 further down in chat-resources a few minutes after asking that question and I tried to hide my shame by quickly editing my post but you were too fast.

I had another question but I figured it out myself, lol.

Is there a way to determine the value of your total rolls on Corsair with gearswap alone?

[Byrthnoth]

Only for the corsair, I think.

[dlsmd]

Is there a way to determine the value of your total rolls on Corsair with gearswap alone?

this is all i could find
--in version_history.txt
spell.value, but there is no filter determining when it's meaningful or not. Mostly useful for COR rolls, which people should be able to filter out on their own.

[Trumpy]

Ok thanks, I will play with it and see what happens

where would you put the first code (the circle1-20 stuff) you gave in the lua file to make it work?

what do you mean

[Trumpy]

Like would i put that in the gets sets section or make a function for it or what?

[dlsmd]

it would probably be simpler to use the second one in a string as long as the number your using is a whole number between 1 and twenty
like this(in your chat line)

((rollNum > 0 and rollNum < 20) and string.char(0x87, (0x39 + rollNum)) or string.char(0x81, 0x9D)))

or this (as a local variable for use in a chat line)

if rollNum > 0 and rollNum < 21 then
         string.char(0x87, (63 + rollNum))
elseif rollNum < 1 then
         string.char(0x81, 0x9D))
end

I'm using a RUN gearswap and I'm having trouble getting the toggle to work.

--TP set toggle input: //gs c toggle TP set----1 Standard, 2 Solo, 3 Marches, 4 AccuracyLite, 5 AccuracyMax, 6 DT, 7 DTAccuracy--
--Idle set toggle input: //gs c toggle Idle set----1 Standard, 2 DT--
--Requiescat set toggle input: //gs c toggle Req set----1 Attack, 2 Accuracy--
--Chant du Cygne set toggle input: //gs c toggle CDC set----1 Attack, 2 Accuracy--
 
Enmity_Spells = S{"Foil","Flash","Blank Gaze","Geist Wall","Jettatura"}
 
function get_sets()
         
    --Idle Sets--   
    sets.Idle = {}
     
    sets.Idle.index = {'Standard','DT'}

'//gs c toggle Idle set' - doesn't work, neither does '/console c toggle Idle set' in a macro.

Any ideas?
