Well I already know it came off today, but the rule should be fine. It have to change first before any testing. I'd probably just go to the T1 in zitah too.

oh and there is a uragnite i think in delve tha thas a doom aura u can outrun

**Radec** · 2017-03-26 21:55

Easier way - change the buffactive=doom part to something a lot easier to apply, say.. Protect. Have mule or yourself cast protect until swaps working well, change back to doom when happy.

Hey i'm looking for some help with my code i'm using motenn's lua for rdm and i'm trying to get it to equip my lethargy gantherots when ever saboteur is active here is the code i'm using after the original code wouldn't switch them in, this still isn't working either though

function midcast(spell)
if spell.skill == 'Enfeebling Magic' and state.Buff.Saboteur then
equip(sets.buff.Saboteur)

Then as a set I have

sets.buff.Saboteur = {hands="Leth. Gantherots +1"}

How can you differentiate between physical and magical weaponskills in Gearswap? I'm helping a friend get set up on COR and his lua (based on Motes) is checking if a ws is physical with spell.element == 'None' which is failing because all weaponskills I tried are returning an element type. Here's the code snippet. There's more, but this should illustrate the problem:

Code:

        if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
            if spell.skill == "Marksmanship" then
                if spell.element == 'None' then
                    -- physical weaponskills
                    bullet_name = gear.WSbullet
                else
                    -- magical weaponskills
		    add_to_chat(104, 'Element: '..spell.element)
                    bullet_name = gear.MAbullet
                end
            else
                -- Ignore non-ranged weaponskills
                return
            end

as far as i know there is no way to tell

OK, thanks for letting me know. I made a set in user_setup:

Code:

physicalWS = S{'Split Shot','Sniper Shot','Slug Shot','Detonator','Numbing Shot','Last Stand','Coronach'}

and this seems to work:

Code:

if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
            if spell.skill == "Marksmanship" then
                if physicalWS:contains(spell.english) then
                    -- physical weaponskills
                    bullet_name = gear.WSbullet
		    add_to_chat(104, 'Physical WS used. Bullet name: '..bullet_name)
                else
                    -- magical weaponskills
		    bullet_name = gear.MAbullet
		    add_to_chat(104, 'Magical WS used. Bullet name: '..bullet_name)
                end
            else
                -- Ignore non-ranged weaponskills
                return
            end
        elseif spell.type == 'CorsairShot' then
            bullet_name = gear.QDbullet
        elseif spell.action_type == 'Ranged Attack' then
            bullet_name = gear.RAbullet
            if buffactive['Triple Shot'] then
                bullet_min_count = 3
            end
        end

Yeah, I did this, and it works.

However, I noticed a flaw in my GS and made some code to remedy it. It works, but I felt someone who actually knows how to code would find it messy. Like half of it should be simplified.

The flaw: Locked gear index is triggered (generally for PDT gear), and doom, petrify, sleep, stun, etc lands on me. The rule to put me in a certain set is triggered, and it does that. When the debuff wears off it sets me back to the TP set beneath the lock gear index which is simply changing me into a set then disabling the slots, but works with pre and midcast actions (like WSing or casting) and then back to the lock set on top of my TP set. The lock gear index is still reading true so attempting to lock a set will trigger a false and not work until hit again.

Most noticable on the dragon in Reisenjima, get terrored by the dragon, then the wings sleep you. Sleep wears off and you then take off your PDT gear while still terrored and getting hundredfisted in the face.

So obliviously the .lua wasn't being told to look for this index.

doh..

So here was the old code:

Code:

function buff_change(n, gain, buff_table)
	local name
	name = string.lower(n)
	if name == "terror" or name == "petrification" or name == "sleep" or name == "stun" then
		if gain == true then
			ChangeGear(sets.Utility.DerpDT)
		elseif player.status == 'Engaged' then
			ChangeGear(sets.TP[sets.TP.index[TP_ind]])
		else
			ChangeGear(sets.Idle[sets.Idle.index[Idle_ind]])
		end
	end
	
	if name == "doom" then
		if gain == true then		   
			ChangeGear(sets.Utility.Doom)
			send_command('@input /p Doomed :|')
			disable('ring1','waist')
		elseif player.status == 'Engaged' then
			enable('ring1','waist')
			ChangeGear(sets.TP[sets.TP.index[TP_ind]])
		else
			enable('ring1','waist')
			ChangeGear(sets.Idle[sets.Idle.index[Idle_ind]])
		end
	end
	
	
end

New code that seems to work from brief testing, but I'd like feedback on:

Code:

function buff_change(n, gain, buff_table)
	local name
	name = string.lower(n)
	if name == "terror" or name == "petrification" or name == "sleep" or name == "stun" then
		if gain == true then
			ChangeGear(sets.TP.Tank)
			elseif player.status == 'Engaged' and LockGearIndex == true then
			enable('ring1','waist')
			ChangeGear(LockGearSet)
		elseif player.status == 'Engaged' and LockGearIndex == false then
			enable('ring1','waist')
			ChangeGear(sets.TP[sets.TP.index[TP_ind]])
		elseif player.status == 'Idle' and LockGearIndex == true then
			enable('ring1','waist')
			ChangeGear(LockGearSet)
		elseif player.status == 'Idle' and LockGearIndex == false then
			enable('ring1','waist')
			ChangeGear(sets.Idle[sets.Idle.index[Idle_ind]])
		end
	end

	if name == "doom" then
		if gain == true then		   
			ChangeGear(sets.Utility.Doom)
			send_command('@input /p Doomed :|')
			disable('ring1','waist')
		elseif player.status == 'Engaged' and LockGearIndex == true then
			enable('ring1','waist')
			ChangeGear(LockGearSet)
		elseif player.status == 'Engaged' and LockGearIndex == false then
			enable('ring1','waist')
			ChangeGear(sets.TP[sets.TP.index[TP_ind]])
		elseif player.status == 'Idle' and LockGearIndex == true then
			enable('ring1','waist')
			ChangeGear(LockGearSet)
		elseif player.status == 'Idle' and LockGearIndex == false then
			enable('ring1','waist')
			ChangeGear(sets.Idle[sets.Idle.index[Idle_ind]])
		end
	end
	
end

Here is the updated .lua:

Mhm, no, it didn't work at all.

I changed doom to protect and casting protect (how I was testing it before) didn't trigger anything. In either of them.

im sorry thats just not posible unless you did not fully replace your existing buff_change function
the only thing that might cause an issue is your ChangeGear function and thats only because i have no idea what that is

Please help. I'm trying to use :contains on a table that I've defined within the same .lua but it is giving me a nil error.

Here is the error code:

GearSwap: Lua runtime error: gearswap/flow.lua:341:
GearSwap has detected an error in the user function self_command:
...er4\/addons/gearswap/libs/lim2/Mote-SelfCommands.lua:220: attempt to index global 'Cites' (a nil value)

It is giving the error on the line 'if areas.Cities:contains(world.area) then'

Here is the code:

Code:

elseif commandArgs[1] == 'testb'
  if areas.Cites:contains(world.area) then
   add_to_chat('this work')
  end
  
areas = {}

-- City areas for town gear and behavior.
areas.Cities = S{
    "Ru'Lude Gardens",
    "Upper Jeuno",
    "Lower Jeuno",
    "Port Jeuno",
    "Port Windurst",
    "Windurst Waters",
    "Windurst Woods",
    "Windurst Walls",

you have

it should be

Changegear(xyz) should work the same as Equip(xyz).

Probably an amateur mistake on my part. I will double check again later.

Okay, did some testing.

Issue was "protect" wasnt valid until I tried "Protect". Added back

Code:

local name
	name = string.lower(n)

and it fixed it.

Seems to work the same as my sloppy coding did. Thanks.

Noticed a flaw with locksets in general outside of this. While engaging or going idle while locked it isnt set to look at that index. Makes sense I will fix that later (have to head to Omen static now). I just never noticed because I am not ever generally locked while idle before engaging and don't generally need to be locked into a gearset when going idle (id have idle pdt set).

Which is all just my very poor way of saying "gear lock is overwritten by changing to and from idle to tp in general and I never noticed".

So, I started messing around since that is all I have done to this point and changed:

Code:

function IdleState()
    ChangeGear(sets.Idle[sets.Idle.index[Idle_ind]])
    if buffactive['Weakness'] then
		ChangeGear({head = "Twilight Helm", body = "Twilight Mail"}) --Not locked in, only on during weakened idle, and requires an action after raising to trigger. Lockgear otherwise.
	elseif mp_jobs:contains(player.sub_job) and player.mpp < 75 then
        ChangeGear({head = "Jumalik Helm", body = "Chozoron Coselete"})
    end
	
end

to

Code:

function IdleState()
	if LockGearIndex then
		ChangeGear(LockGearSet)
	elseif not LockGearIndex then
		ChangeGear(sets.Idle[sets.Idle.index[Idle_ind]])
	elseif buffactive['Weakness'] then
		ChangeGear({head = "Twilight Helm", body = "Twilight Mail"}) --Not locked in, only on during weakened idle, and requires an action after raising to trigger. Lockgear otherwise.
	elseif mp_jobs:contains(player.sub_job) and player.mpp < 75 then
        ChangeGear({head = "Jumalik Helm", body = "Chozoron Coselete"})
    end
	
end

And fixed it based on the code you gave me dlsmd :D

Same for TPing.

Now I just need to figure out how to stop GS from getting stuck in casting or WS gear while I am slept, stunned, terrored, etc.

EDIT: Fixed this^

That and it be nice if it the Fucho-no-obi didn't equip over my flume belt while I am in a pdt idle set. That one has been the bane of my RUN. Is there a rule that I could add to that if mp <= 50 "and equipt set = then". That would fix it, but I don't know anyone who works like that to check and compare against.
EDIT: Still don't know this one^
EDIT2: Had the bright idea of adding "and Idle_ind == # then" to the rule instead of thinking about from a gear perspective and it worked :D

EDIT:
I have to really hand it to Mote too. I created a basic TH rule just now since that is easy, but it would be nice not to have to toggle it on off constantly after a hit.

So I looked up the TH rule he has in his THF luas. Unsurprisingly, it was more complex than I expected. The issue also is that it requires his includes for the "gs c update auto" function, which I assume is colloquially what is refereed to as the "heart beat". Meaning it updates your status ever few seconds. I hate this function for the fact if I throw something on like crafting gear, a warp ring, etc it all has to be defined or else it is replaced with idle gear.

I do see the use for this though as it would fix my issue of town (trying to figure out how to do this based on a zone change rule at the moment) or weakness gear not equipping until an action is preformed. I wish there was a compromise though instead of it seemingly being one way or the other.

Hi guys, above is my SMN lua, I've spent weeks trying to work out how I would go about adding different toggle modes F9-F12 etc.

This is taken from my BST lua,
state.IdleMode:options('Normal', 'PetDT')
state.OffenseMode:options('Normal', 'PetDT', 'Pet.HighAcc')

If possible please please please can someone edit my lua so I could toggle through the modes. With F12 putting me into the current idle set. I'm not clever enough!

Thanks :)

Spent the last couple of weeks on and off working my DRG and BLU luas.

I left my RUN lua alone because I need to break it into modes (TP dual wield, TP tanking, and TP DDing, with toggles in each based on the mode) so I am interested in what you work out before I dive into figuring mine out.

That being said, thanks in large part to the help I have received here. I finished my DRG lua (pretty much), and refined my BLU one. So, thanks for that.

I only have one question. For the section that sends recasts to the chat log (if not spell.interrupted then), is it possible to change the ('wait xxx;input /echo) from a send command to an add to chat? Just because send command puts this in the DD log with everything else, and add to chat goes into the chat log instead with the option to change text color.

**trv** · 2017-04-13 09:29

You have this written at several points:

Code:

if LockGearIndex then
       enable('ring1','waist')
       ChangeGear(LockGearSet)
elseif not LockGearIndex then
       enable('ring1','waist')
       ChangeGear(sets.TP[sets.TP.index[TP_ind]])
end

It should be:

Code:

if LockGearIndex then
       enable('ring1','waist')
       ChangeGear(LockGearSet)
else
       enable('ring1','waist')
       ChangeGear(sets.TP[sets.TP.index[TP_ind]])
end

As it is written, if you ever added a conditional statement beyond the first two, the new statement would never run.
