Gearswap Help Thread!

[Motenten]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm currently using the RNG gearswap file found on the GearSwap shop thread: http://pastebin.com/u/KBeezie

I was wondering, is there anyway to differentiate midcast ranged attack sets dependent on whether you're using Yoichinoyumi or Annihilator?

sets.midcast.RangedAttack.Yoichinoyumi
sets.midcast.RangedAttack.Annihilator

and in midcast():

if spell.action_type == 'Ranged Attack' then
    classes.CustomClass == player.equipment.ranged
end

SMN_gear_lua

I get 2 errors.

First is Gearswap: Lua error (runtime) gives a few directories ending in windower4/addons/gearswap/flow.lua:254:

Second error is Use function error: directories ending in gearswap/data/smn_gear.lua:234: attempt to index field 'astral conduit' and the rest after that was cut off.

[Motenten]

Ah, you're defining subtables of sets.buff['astral conduit'] without defining sets.buff['astral conduit'] itself first (I might have left that out of the example code). Just add:

sets.buff['astral conduit'] = {}

before the other set definitions.

[Alistrianna]

Yeah, that fixed the issue. My only other question is where exactly do I put this code?

    if buffactive['astral conduit'] then
        if spell.type == 'BloodPactRage' then
            if magicalRagePacts:contains(spell.english) then
                equip(sets.buff['Astral Conduit'].MagicalBloodPactRage)
            else
                equip(sets.buff['Astral Conduit'].PhysicalBloodPactRage)
            end
            eventArgs.handled = true
        elseif spell.type == 'BloodPactWard' then
            equip(sets.buff['Astral Conduit'].BloodPactWard)
            eventArgs.handled = true
        end
    end

I put it with the function job_update stuff. I'm still familiarizing myself with how gearswap works so I am unsure if that is where it needs to go.

[Motenten]

That would need to go in the event period where it's relevant: precast, or possibly midcast. The update function would be completely useless for it.

[Alistrianna]

figured as much. thanks again.

sets.midcast.RangedAttack.Yoichinoyumi
sets.midcast.RangedAttack.Annihilator

and in midcast():

if spell.action_type == 'Ranged Attack' then
    classes.CustomClass == player.equipment.ranged
end

Thanks.

Edit: nevermind had my issue fixed

[Anadrag]

can i add a wait to add_to_chat somehow?

[Byrthnoth]

Only if you use send_command('wait 1;gs c <whatever>') and then pick it up in your self command function and do add_to_chat. Alternatively, you can do something like send_command('wait 1;input /echo ----- MESSAGE ----').

[Anadrag]

just wondering cause i'm trying to make it so after a ws it shows tp return.. but gs is too fast it only works 50% of the time... it reads tp before ws a lot

edit: best way to add wait to this..?

add_to_chat(158,'TP Return: [' .. player.tp .. '%]')

[Mafai]

Is there a tp change event? You can check the values in there for when they're >100 and then it falls below <100 trigger your addtochat. iirc tp change should have old and new value exposed.

@aftercast function... send_command('wait 1; input /echo TP <tp> ')

[Anadrag]

oh yeah i do it under after cast and if ws

I have a minor annoyance with COR.lua, this is my gear file: http://pastebin.com/86a41xt6
every ranged attack generates an error "cannot compare to nil" at line 318, commenting out the block 318-326 (low ammo warning) takes the error away, is anything worng in my include?

[backstab]

could anyone please help me with the following lua, the triggers/toggles dont seem to be working.
thanks in advance

[Anadrag]

is this bad to do?.. because it seems to work.. lol

if spell.type == "WeaponSkill" then
status_change(player.status)
add_to_chat(158,''..(player.name)..' uses '..spell.name..' TP Return: ['..tostring(player.tp)..'%]')

Add a print or add_to_chat statement before line 318 of the cor lua file and output all the variables that the conditional is checking to find out which one is nil. Once you know that, then you can go about figuring out what's wrong.

You need to be more specific. What are you attempting to do, and under what conditions, and what do you see actually happen?

[Motenten]

if spell.type == "WeaponSkill" then
    status_change(player.status)
    add_to_chat(158,''..(player.name)..' uses '..spell.name..' TP Return: ['..tostring(player.tp)..'%]')

Aside from not closing the conditional, there's nothing technically wrong with it. However it doesn't make any logical sense to call status_change there. If status_change contains code that you want to run at that point, that means you actually want a separate function that handles that code, and call it from both this section and status_change.

if i dont use status_change (player.tp) gets triggered too early.. and doesn't show tp return.
