Gearswap Help Thread!

[dlsmd]

Thank you dlsmd for your speedy response that fix the error but i still cannot work out why the rule does not work all i'm getting is midcast when i shoot. I will post a break down of var, preshot, precast rule and switch.

now you ran into one of the only issues with gearswap that are glaring to me
with gearswap its hard to tell if a specific gear is equiped to ammo when it runs out
this is because gearswap hold in memory what gear is equiped to what slot

this might fix it for you but i cant guarantee it(add this to the vary top of your gearswap file)

gearswap.parse.i[0x01D] = function (data)
    local cur_equip = table.reassign({},gearswap.items.equipment)
    gearswap.player.equipment = gearswap.make_user_table()
    table.reassign(gearswap.player.equipment,gearswap.to_names_set(cur_equip))
    for i,bag in pairs(gearswap.res.bags) do
        local bag_name = gearswap.to_windower_bag_api(bag.en)
        if gearswap.items[bag_name] then gearswap.player[bag_name] = gearswap.refresh_item_list(gearswap.items[bag_name]) end
    end
end

It still not swapping to precast , If the way this rule has been written does not work is there another way of going about what i want gs to do and that's to be able to be on gun or bow and have a toggle to swap to different ammo when i preshot?

[dlsmd]

Sorry but where do i add this code to?

gearswap.parse.i[0x01D] = function (data)
    local cur_equip = table.reassign({},gearswap.items.equipment)
    gearswap.player.equipment = gearswap.make_user_table()
    table.reassign(gearswap.player.equipment,gearswap.to_names_set(cur_equip))
    for i,bag in pairs(gearswap.res.bags) do
        local bag_name = gearswap.to_windower_bag_api(bag.en)
        if gearswap.items[bag_name] then gearswap.player[bag_name] = gearswap.refresh_item_list(gearswap.items[bag_name]) end
    end
end

at the vary top of your file

that would be to unequip then re-equip

[Lewyo]

It's not just the ammo but the whole gear set for preshot thats not swaping in

[dlsmd]

It's because you are changing your gear based on if you have no ammo or run out of ammo

[Trumpy]

no it can tell that you have the buff "Aftermath: Lv.3" but not what weapon it came from or the effect

couldnt you put a check for which weapon is in the main hand slot? if player.equipment.main then

[dlsmd]

as long as you cant gain Aftermath: Lv.3 from another party member but as i have never use any am before i dont know

Well I would just add main="Epeolatry" and buffgain AM3 and that would take care of it, right?

[dlsmd]

like this

function buff_change(name,gain,buff_table)
    if name == "Aftermath: Lv.3" then
        if gain then
            if player.equipment.main == "Epeolatry" then
                --for when Aftermath: Lv.3 and main is Epeolatry
            elseif player.equipment.main == "Weaponname" then
            elseif player.equipment.main == "Weaponname" then
            elseif player.equipment.main == "Weaponname" then
            end
        else
            --for when Aftermath: Lv.3 drops off
        end
    end
end

[Spicyryan]

Yup, that is what I was thinking, thanks :D

That is only for gaining AM though. I just did that for Embolden today (for some reason I couldn't get it overwriting my idle back (evasionist's cape over shadow mantle) otherwise) and when I changed gear since a buff wasn't gained (embolden was still on) it didn't reequip the cape past the first time. So I would assume that after a WS or something it won't requip the proper TP set? Maybe it is just my GS?

set it up as an equip and trigger
example:

function buff_change(name,gain,buff_table)
    if name == "Aftermath: Lv.3" then
        if gain then
            if player.equipment.main == "Epeolatry" then
                equip(EpeolatryAmGear)
                Am3 = true
            end
        else
            Am3 = false
        end
    end
end
function precast(spell)
    ...
    if Am3 then
        if player.equipment.main == "Epeolatry" then
            equip(EpeolatryAmGear)
        end
    end
end

1,900 HP Balyd away from Epeo which should be done within this week with Ambuscade. Then I can try that out, thanks.

I suppose in the meantime I could try that with Embolden and see if that works?

A friend of mine found the problem in my rng lua that was not making it preshot i was just missing a bit of code between the 2 ends at the end of my preshot rule and now it all works fine :D

The code was equip(equipSet)

[Nyarlko]

What's the difference between get_sets vs init_gear_sets ?
Is the init_gear_sets function a mote-only function?

motes include needs to use get_sets so mote uses init_gear_sets for users so they can load there sets like normal

its the same reason i use gear_setup() in my include

[KokoMonsta]

I am having trouble with getting my whm cure.weather set to kick in.. I'm not sure if i have the right rules or not. Any ideas? I am currently using Bokura lua... my pastebin is /y9tTNATg

[dlsmd]

its because he uses a dynamic set build but your added code does not
so you do equip the correct gear but then other gear equips over your wanted gear

also buffactive does no work like this
buffactive == 'Aurorastorm'
its
buffactive['Aurorastorm'] or buffactive.Aurorastorm

[KokoMonsta]

Thank your dlsmd.. ill work with it some.. hopefully i can get it to work..
