Probably not at +1, but the +20 skill for enhancing might be worthwhile sometimes in light arts, and they both end up as extreme MAcc pieces once +2/+3

Thanks for the great suggestions - I'm gonna add the Academic Pants +1 to the midcast Enhancing gear set then since that would seem the most beneficial use - I think have enough Paragon cards now to make the pants +2 - Maybe the Academic Gown +1 for dark arts into the Stun Midcast gear set - Then I'll test to see if they activate - Funny the other Lua's that I copied the rules from have it written out just like this : Originally Posted by Radec

sets.precast.JA['Tabula Rasa'] = {legs="Pedagogy Pants"}
sets.precast.JA['Dark Arts'] = {"Acad. Gown +1"}
sets.precast.JA['Light Arts'] = {"Acad. Pants +1"}
organizer_items = {agown="Acad. Gown +1"}
But when you examine the coding further there are no other rules / code that support triggering the equipping of the gear (and he hadnt included in his mid-cast sets) when you use your light or dark arts abilities. Not a coder at all so I may have overlooked something - I'm going to follow all of the suggestions and use the gear in the midcast equipment sets.

i can infer from the way that they name it, it is used one of two ways Originally Posted by Ferro
1. the gear is equiped at precast when you use Dark/Light Arts
2. that when Dark/Light Arts is active they lock on the specific gear
how ever im not sure as i cant test the Academic's set because i dont have it
but i do know that
Academic's Gown gives Refresh and Dark Arts+
Academic's Pants gives Light Arts+
but how you need to equip it i do not know and you need to figure it out your self
like this
1. activate Dark/Light Arts with out these gears equiped check all your stats (most importantly magic skill)
2. equip your gear and run the test again see if there is a change to your stats
3. if there is a change to your stats unequip your gear to see if it gets lowered
4. if it does get lowered then you know you need to have the gear equiped when you cast a spell, if not then you only need it equiped when you us the ja
5. some aspects might require you to have the gear equiped when you use a spell but the only way you can tell when you need it equiped is by testing it out
-you need to do this several times and then average all of them together(use the same spell on the same mob type), the more you do this the more accurate things will be
--if you get an average difference of less then 1-3% you can say that no change has accrued as that is the mathematical realm of insignificance
example: if you do 100 tests for each and the average for them are
average equiped from precast to aftercast=611 damage
average equiped from midcast to aftercast=600 damage
-with the results above i would say there is no difference and you can equip them only for midcast
however
average equiped from precast to aftercast=615 damage
average equiped from midcast to aftercast=600 damage
-with the results above i would say there is a difference and you need to equip them for precast and midcast
(the math says that 1% of 600 is 6 so 6X3=12 anything greater then +11 means that it changed significantly)
-this is simplified
--the more tests you do the more accurate your results will be

you cant name multiple functions the same because the later ones just over-wright the former ones Originally Posted by Balrahn

Changed it to only Apocalypse and it works

Ok works now, thanks for the help
HTML Code:function filtered_action(spell) if spell.english == 'Torcleaver' then if player.equipment.main == 'Apocalypse' then cancel_spell() send_command('input /ws "Catastrophe" <t>') elseif player.equipment.main == 'Anguta' then cancel_spell() send_command('input /ws "Entropy" <t>') elseif player.equipment.main == 'Liberator' then cancel_spell () send_command('input /ws "Insurgency" <t>') end elseif spell.english == 'Resolution' then if player.equipment.main == 'Apocalypse' then cancel_spell() send_command('input /ws "Cross Reaper" <t>') elseif player.equipment.main == 'Anguta' then cancel_spell() send_command('input /ws "Cross Reaper" <t>') elseif player.equipment.main == 'Liberator' then cancel_spell () send_command('input /ws "Cross Reaper" <t>') end elseif spell.english == 'Shockwave' then if player.equipment.main == 'Apocalypse' then cancel_spell() send_command('input /ws "Spinning Scythe" <t>') elseif player.equipment.main == 'Anguta' then cancel_spell() send_command('input /ws "Spinning Scythe" <t>') elseif player.equipment.main == 'Liberator' then cancel_spell () send_command('input /ws "Spinning Scythe" <t>') end end end

its because in lua and most programing languages you cant check for multiple things with ==, =<, =>, !=
you have to do things like
S{'Apocalypse','Anguta','Liberator','Redemption'}: contains(player.equipment.main)

Is there a lua command/function that allows me to take the first "X" characters of a text variable?
Let's say I have a variable "A" set to the "this is a text" value.
I want a function that allows me to take the first, say, 4 characters of that value.
Let's say this function is called "truncate".
B = truncate(4,A)
This would assign B the value "this" because those are the first 4 characters of the "A" variable.
Is there something like this? If not how would I have to go to create a function performing such a task?

From http://lua-users.org/wiki/StringLibraryTutorial
For your case above, it'd be B = string.sub(A, 1, 4) or B = A:sub(1,4)string.sub(s, i [, j])
s:sub(i [,j])
Return a substring of the string passed. The substring starts at i. If the third argument j is not given, the substring will end at the end of the string. If the third argument is given, the substring ends at and includes j.
> = string.sub("Hello Lua user", 7) -- from character 7 including 7 until the end
Lua user
> = string.sub("Hello Lua user", 7, 9) -- from character 7 until and including 9
Lua
> = string.sub("Hello Lua user", -8) -- 8 from the end until the end
Lua user
> = string.sub("Hello Lua user", -8, 9) -- 8 from the end until 9 from the start
Lua
> = string.sub("Hello Lua user", -8, -6) -- 8 from the end until 6 from the end

try these http://lua-users.org/wiki/StringLibraryTutorial Originally Posted by Sechs

here is a quick a dirty function the returns your shortened string using the string and the desired lengthCode:A = "this is a text" B = string.sub(A, 1, 4) or B = A:sub(1, 4) -sometimes you cane only use one or the other
Code:function SetStringLength(str,length) return string.sub(A, 1, 4) end --Example in use: B = SetStringLength(A,4)

Hi there! I've not (for the life of me) been able to get any auto presto functions to work. The current one that I use makes me just presto every time it's up. However, I would like to work in this way: Presto for Finishing Moves below 6 and when there are no Finishing moves.
The following bits of code are what I've found on the interwebs and they pretty much do the same thing. They both -always- presto when it's up.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you for your time!

if so it grabs the number from the iterators[i] putting it in the variable we want fm_count
checks to see if the spell.type is 'Step' if it is it looks at the number in fm_count to see if it is less then 6Code:if spell.type == 'Step' and fm_count < 6 then --- --- --- end
checks to see if Presto's recast timer[236] is up if it is it delays the current step by 1.1 seconds and casts Presto before the step automatically gets used againCode:if windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[236] < 1 then cast_delay(1.1) send_command('input /ja "Presto" <me>') end
i did make an error in my first post here it is fixed
the cool part of the above code is if SE ever adds more buffs for finishing moves it will still grab those as wellCode:local fm_count = 0 for i, v in pairs(buffactive) do if tostring(i):startswith('finishing move') or tostring(i):startswith('フィニシングムーブ') then fm_count = tonumber(string.match(i, '%d+')) or 1 end end if spell.type == 'Step' and fm_count < 6 then if windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[236] < 1 then cast_delay(1.1) send_command('input /ja "Presto" <me>') end end
-even if SE decides to rename "Finishing Move 1" to "Finishing Move" it will still work
--the current names are Finishing Move 1/2/3/4/5/(6+)
-it is also bilingual eng/jap
the only issue that could arise is if SE changes the recast id for Presto or removes the number from all of the buff names
here is more info on lua

Wow! Thank you so much for your explanation and guidance through the years to making my DNC better than before! :> You said you made a mistake in which you did not add local before fm_count? Is that because that variable is not defined anywhere else (outside the file)? It is located locally inside the file? I am still reading through your resource :> I see I have so much to learn.
