that's byrth file.. unless is outdated.. should work fine.. I dont see any issues beside if your macro only have /ws... ? or have /ja Boost <me> <wait 1> ... /WS ?

for example they have 2 issues (that I have reported... time ago)

/ws "..." <t> Works fine

now If for some reason you have a Macro like this:
/ja "Boost" <me> <wait 1>
/ws ...

1. Any JA/WS and probably Spell too that you have in SE macro <wait x> in the same line wont trigger GS... not sure if is a shortcuts or Gearswap issue

2.Boost "aftercast function" overlapping w/ WS precast and not swaping gear.

and if for some weird reason you have
/ws "..." <t> <wait x> ... it wont trigger GS

[Jicent]

I am just using /ws in the SE macro nothing else tied with it.

[JSHidaka]

is Spellcast loaded? Shortcuts addon ?... running out of ideas... coz mine works

[Jicent]

Only using attainment blinkmenot itemizer infobar and gearswap

[JSHidaka]

hmmm.. guess nothing to lose... In launcher get "shortcuts" addon... (dont have to logout.... just open another launcher, download it, and in game //lua load Shortcuts) and try it...

btw... try another WS, make a macro for Asuran Fists and test it -_-..

[Jicent]

No dice with either asuran didn't work as a macro but it did work through the menu like Shijin.

[JSHidaka]

lol this is fun... now for me the macro isnt working either... and just for Spiral S. coz Victory Smite Works... and It just "downloaded" something in the launcher... so no idea if GS got updated there.. (havent rerun the launcher since yesterday)

So Byrth.. did you update something?

[Motenten]

Put:

add_to_chat(123,'precast for '..spell.english)

At the start of the precast() function. Does that display the chat line when you try to use Shijin?

Also, turn on both debugmode and showswaps, to see both what it's trying to equip and what it's failing to equip.

[JSHidaka]

-_-... really.. guess that found the issue... same thing as when use a macro w/ /ws ".." <t> <wait x>

Looks after testing things.. I did change my macro and by mistake did add an space after the <t> in the ws...
So if you have "/ws "..." <t>" works... if you have "/ws "..." <t> " wont -_-...

At least that was the "stupid" problem, and the reason my VS was still working coz I wasn't messing w/ it

[Byrthnoth]

Thanks, that should be easy to fix.

[Jicent]

Oh I don't know if that fixed it for me yet, had to step away from my PC for a bit trying it now

[Jicent]

It didn't display it for me but I'm not sure I put the code in the right place, and debug is showing everything that is supposed to be equipped is being equipped when I select from the menu. But just totally shows nothing when I select the macro

[Byrthnoth]

Can you check your macro for any trailing spaces?

Edit: It looks like JSH's problem was a byproduct of my switching from my custom split function to the strings library's split function without accounting for the differences between them. I even remember Arcon warning me about this difference, lol. Anyway, it should be fixed in a few minutes.

[JSHidaka]

write the command /ws Shihin Spiral <t>, if GS happens so your macro is the problem.

[Jicent]

In the ffxi console? I did that nothing
Actually just tried it again but I put a space between spiral and <t> and the gear swap happened

[Byrthnoth]

Just to be clear, you were attempting to use "/ws shijin spiral<t>" in a macro?

[JSHidaka]

/ws "shijin spiral"<t>... didnt knew it was possible.. >.> oh well lol..

BTW...

On brd was testing precast in Impatience... but It doesn't change to instrument in midcast... it does in aftercast (I have midcast and aftercast same gearset ~.~...) http://pastebin.com/KqPVWGSQ

EDIT.. NVM.. "fixed" it adding ammo=empty on midcast

[Siccmade]

I'm in process of adapting my first GearSwap file, Motenten's (I think) SAM.lua. I'm wondering how to go about adding a Ranged Attack set and then having it trigger when I use RA?

Can I get it to work like Spellcast where it would go back to a Melee set after a RA?
