I'm no expert, but I did manage to put together a fully non-Mote BLM lua that does everything it should. ^^ You could try nesting them instead.

Instead of:

                        if buffactive.Camouflage and equipSet["Camouflage"] then
                                equipSet = equipSet["Camouflage"]
                        end
                        if buffactive["Double Shot"] then
                                equipSet = set_combine(sets.Midshot,{head="Oshosi Mask"})
                        end

You can try:

                        if buffactive.Camouflage and equipSet["Camouflage"] then
                                equipSet = equipSet["Camouflage"]
                        elseif buffactive["Double Shot"] then
                                equipSet = set_combine(sets.Midshot,{head="Oshosi Mask"})
                        end

Or if you want both:

                        if buffactive.Camouflage and buffactive["Double Shot"] then
                                equipSet = set_combine(equipSet["Camouflage"],sets.Midshot,{head="Oshosi Mask"})
                        end

I think those should work. ^^;;

I tried this didn't work for me, since I'm trying to do two different bodies depending on the buff, so it's one or the other for me. I think this (Oshosi Vest) needs to stay on while double shot is on. So I played around with my Lua (I used mote includes), and finally got it to work, needs to be a midcast set, so I made a set called sets.midcast.RA.Double. And the I made this code:

function job_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
if buffactive['Double Shot'] then
equip(sets.midcast.RA.Double)
end
end

This worked for me.

Word of caution when using this at high level content, make sure what ever midcast set you are using is a mid or high accuracy set. Learned that the hard way when I was whiffing, while double shot was active. That body piece doesn't have that high of Racc, especially when compared to the AF3 (with the set bonus).

Trying to break down my RUN GS into tanking, 2H DD, and 1H DD. Right now it is just all on one TP index with no way to use 1H weapons (no DW gear).

Still figuring out how to do that how I want, but first I just had a question. Is it possible to specify weapon type? It would be nice to just have the DDing aspect handled by "if weapon.type == 'Great Sword' then" rather than a toggle.

The next best thing I could think of was mapping each weapon to a table to call.

That's probably the fastest way but looking at items.lua, you should be able to pull up the rest of the line given the ID - see Windower Lua Wiki on getting equipped IDs - may also be a shortcut in gearswap for this I'm not aware of offhand.

Once you have the ID, the 'skill=##' appears to pair with weapon type. You can also check delay of the weapon if you have 2 different sets for STP - IE Apocalypse vs Anguta.

Untested pseudocode version

mainID = windower.ffxi.get_items()['equipped']['main']
mainSkill = items[mainID]['skill']
if mainSkill == 4 then
	//GSword
elseif mainSkill == 3 then
	//Sword
elseif mainSkill == 5 then
	//Axe
end

Thanks a lot. That is a bit above my head, but at least I can make an attempt at it now. Where would I want to put that mainID code anyway? Under it's own function?

I suppose first I need to break down my tp sets before I even try to add that feature. Tanking on or off would be a toggle, and then if I can get something like the aforementioned working then TPing aspect would be automatic instead of yet another toggle for 2H/1H.

Edit: Broke down my TP and Tanking sets how I want which was actually very easy. It was one of those things that you indirectly know how to do after doing something else, and then falls into place.

Pastebin of the .lua

Perhaps what I have done so far isn't the best practice, but it has worked exactly as I thought it would and how I wanted. Now I just need to automate the 1H/2H TP sets based on what I have equipped. :D

Now, I just don't really have an idea about how to use get_items : /

EDIT#2: Spent what feels like forever trying to figure this out after being all happy I built the rest of the rules by myself. Still no idea how to utilize anything you posted, feel disheartened by my ignorance.

[Radec]

I'll say this - it was just an idea, never used it before. Trying to see if I can make something out of it now, but the results from get_items aren't what I was expecting - looks like they're related to the position of the item in your inv/wardrobe. I'll look into this more, but won't be as easy as I was hoping above

Hey, I appreciate it either way. Could be worse and no one cared and it sat there unanswered until someone else asked about SMN or something and it was lost to time.

[Trumpy]

I could tell you how i do it but you and everyone else will prolly hate it lol. I use tables and variables and stuffs.

Worse case scenario I was thinking of just mapping my 2H weapons and saying if my main contains one of them or my sub is empty than 2HDD == 'ON' else OFF. Slightly less automated, but it is within my wheelhouse, and the only thing I can think of.

EDIT:

Okay I made this:

TwoHandedWeapons = S { 
	'Aettir', 'Epeolatry', 'Lionheart', 'Beheader +1', 'Takoba', 'Zulqifar', 'Bidenhander',
	'Montante', 'Montante +1', 'Humility', 'Nibiru Faussar', 'Macbain', 'Soulcleaver',
	' Kaqulijaan', 'Beorc Sword', 'Trial Blade', 'Sword of Trials', 'Irradiance Blade',
	'Greatsword', 'Parashu'
}

and a rule then put it in my function status change to test it:

function status_change(new, old)
	if new == 'Idle' then
		IdleState()
	elseif new == 'Resting' then
		RestingState()
	elseif new == 'Engaged' then
		EngagedState()
	end
	
	if player.status == 'Engaged' and TH == 'ON' then
		ChangeGear(set_combine(equipSet, sets.Utility.TH))			
	end
	
	if player.status == 'Engaged' and TwoHandedWeapons:contains(player.equipment.main) or player.equipment.sub == 'empty' then
		TwoHandedTP = 'ON'
		send_command('@input /echo <----- 2H TP Active!!')
	else
		TwoHandedTP = 'OFF'
		send_command('@input /echo <----- 1H TP Active!')
	end
	
end

It works, but since it is in status change it only works when starting or ending combat essentially. How can I create a check for if weapons change mid combat reasonably?

Updated Lua: here

EDIT #2: Suppose I could just put it in aftercast to somewhat fix the problem, but it all feels a bit shoddy to do.

first you need to watch spaces and spelling with strings because when using :contains() every thing must be exact
example:
' Kaqulijaan'
should be
'Kaquljaan'

second if things are only going to have 2 states use true/false not on off unless your using the string for something else

third you can place the check at the top of your precast/pretarget function

forth here is a better way to do it

if S{4,6,7,8,10,12}:contains(gearswap.res.items:with('en' player.equipment.main).skill) then
    TwoHandedTP = true
    send_command('@input /echo <----- 2H TP Active!!')
else
    TwoHandedTP = false
    send_command('@input /echo <----- 1H TP Active!')
end

and here are the rest of the weapon types
1 = Hand-to-Hand
2 = Dagger
3 = Sword
4 = Great Sword
5 = Axe
6 = Great Axe
7 = Scythe
8 = Polearm
9 = Katana
10 = Great Katana
11 = Club
12 = Staff

as far as watching for weapon changes it can be done but that is a crap tone of code

You are always the best anytime I have asked about RUN or BLU (I think I have only asked about RUN and DRG) lua stuff, thanks. :D

1) Good catch on the space. Happens all the time

2) Changed all my .luas from ON OFF to true false. Updated paste.

3) It was missing a couple of parenthesis from what it kept telling me, but after I added them the lua loaded, and that works. I tested all the weapons and the modes echoed back right.

However, for some reason line 618 (which is the "if S{4,6,7,8,10,12}:contains" line) throws me an error, "attempt to call a string value" when I do anything in combat. Not sure how to fix that.

4) As far as putting this in the precast/pretarget(I don't even have a pretarget function afaik), how different is that from just using my status change and aftercast functions for this as I am now? I wouldn't want tons of code just to make something slightly more functional. Especially since I can't do it.

my mistake(i forgot a comma)
change
('en' player.equipment.main).skill)
to
('en', player.equipment.main).skill)

Smooth sailing now, awesome. Ty.

So, was there a better way to do the 1H TP/2H TP check besides how I have it in my function status_change(new, old) and function aftercast(spell, act)?

[Landsoul]

Can i make gearswap reconize what weapon i have and depending on weapon it equips different tp sets?

I've tried

sets.engaged.Ragnarok

or

sets.engaged['Ragnarok']

But neither gearswap reconizes that it swaps the propperiate set.

yes use
set names:
sets.Engaged = {}
sets.Engaged['Ragnarok'] = {put your set gear here}
equip command:
equip(sets.engaged[player.equipment.main])

[Landsoul]

Thanks for the help.

equip(sets.engaged[player.equipment.main])

Do i have to make an engage function?

[dlsmd]

Thanks for the help.



Do i have to make an engage function?

no as long as you name them correctly you can do what ever you want
and i messed up a bit
equip(sets.engaged[player.equipment.main])
should be
equip(sets.Engaged[player.equipment.main])

[Landsoul]

I meant do I have to put the equip command in an engage function in order to trigger the equip command.

[dlsmd]

I meant do I have to put the equip command in an engage function in order to trigger the equip command.

it must be in one of gearswaps functions
pretarget\precast\midcast\aftercast\etc.
or a subsidiary of said function
