Gearswap Help Thread!

[ZetaEpyon]

Maybe there's more to this variable and it has to be handled somewhere else, I dunno. It's not present in the BRD lua itself, so I assume it's an include from one of the general Mote's luas.

As far as I can tell, eventArgs.useMidcastGear was either deprecated or never actually implemented - it doesn't ever appear to be evaluated at all in any of the set selection code in Mote-Include.lua.

That said, I think there are probably a couple ways to accomplish what you want. Not at my main pc to be able to test, but you might be able to override with a post_precast function and call the midcast gear selector directly...

function job_post_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if buffactive['Nightingale'] then
        equip(get_midcast_set(spell, spellMap))
    end
end

With how Mote's stuff works, this function would be called after all the default precast logic runs, but before the midcast logic starts. (job_precast > default handling logic > job_post_precast > midcast stuff, in order)

that is not gearswap as at no time does gearswap use anything named or remotely closely named follow unless its part of your code
it is probably DressUp

[Byrthnoth]

That's a plugin error. It's probably being caused by guildwork loading, but if Pewds plays on Windows XP it might be any of them.

Regardless, it doesn't directly have anything to do with gearswap.

[Pewds]

It's not dressup I tried to look into my lua and i don't see anything wrong with it just gives me that error and doesn't work at all

[Pewds]

Ty for the replies I'll look into my plugins. I play on Windows 8. Windows 8 sucks ;;

Unless I'm mistaken, other than Guildwork, the rest of the plugins should have already been rebuilt and would not give you errors. With that said, it's also my understanding that the error message can be safely ignored in this case.

[Pewds]

Maybe it is guildwork. Here's the thing I just transferred to a new server before that in the old one it worked fine after tho it showed that message maybe I'll just turn guildwork off and see what happens

[Byrthnoth]

You should only get the message when guildwork loads. If you get it any other time, one of your plugins is out of date.

[Pewds]

Thank you, it was one of my plugins that was out of date

if you weren't using motes include i could help but im sorry to say most of what i could tell you wont help you

i have vary limited knowledge when it comes to motes include

if you were using my include or a basic gearswap i could help as this is all the info i could give you
even then you would have to be specific for what you want it to do and when

again im sorry that i cant help

In this tutorial, in pretarget() they replace any <st> type target with <lastst>:

function pretarget(spell)
----makes it so script-based macros use <lastst>, rather than
----<stnpc>,<stpc>,etc. if this did not exist, then script-based
----macros will require user input to select the subtarget.
  if spell.target.raw:contains('<st') then
    target='<lastst>'
  end

Wouldn't this cause problems the first time you tried to use <st>, since <lastst> at that point is undefined? Also, wouldn't that code make it impossible to change targets with <st>, since it would force <lastst> all the time?

Also, using Mote's includes, where would I put any self-commands I would want to run once when loading the lua?

yes it would for all of these
<st> Activates after toggling between available targets
<stpc> Activates after toggling between available player characters
<stpt> Activates after toggling between available party members
<stal> Activates after toggling between available alliance members
<stnpc> Activates after toggling between available NPCs
this is because it would trigger the sub target selection arrow

Also, using Mote's includes, where would I put any self-commands I would want to run once when loading the lua?

i believe it is in the user_setup function

Cool, thanks

I am trying to create a toggle that locks my main/sub slots when I turn said toggle on and then unlocks them when I toggle off. I have gotten it to lock them but when I press toggle again it does not enable the slots. I'm sure it is something simple I am missing. Any advice would be appreciated.

like this

if com == "yourcommand" then
    togglename = not togglename
    if togglename then
        disable("main","sub")
    else
        enable("main","sub")
    end
    add_to_chat(8, 'Main/Sub '..(togglename and 'Locked' or 'Unlocked'))
end

yourcommand is the command you want to use to trigger this toggle
togglename is the variable use to keep track of this toggle

[Aja]

Awesome thank you! I was kinda close.^^

After the update, I am starting to have some issues with swapping TP Cape to WS Cape.. all other gear sets swaps fine but swapping the Capes doesn't seem to work

Could someone please help on this matter? esp on the sets.precast.WS['Rudra\'s Storm'].Mod and sets.precast.WS['Mandalic Stab'] ... WSback doesn't seem to load.

Please note, //gs enable back is active and TP Cape is in my inventory and WS is in my Wardrobe..

Thanks in advance

[Rehn]

You'd have to post your lua or at least the codes pertaining to your capes/WS.
