Gearswap Help Thread!

[Damane]

I have a short question for something I didnt manage to properly convert form spellcast over to my gearswap lua on:

I have a var in spellcast that I can toogle off/on with a triggerspell. It makes it so I equip instead of my full hagondes set, I equip seidr cotehardie when I want to conserve MP on low tier nukes.

 
<if Spell="Foot Kick">
			<if advanced='"$Nukeing"="Accuracy"'>
				<var cmd="set Nukeing Damage" />
				<command when="precast">input /echo Magic Damage + Mode </command>
			</if>
			<else>
				<var cmd="set Nukeing Accuracy" />
				<command when="precast">input /echo Magic Conserve Mode </command>
			</else>
		</if>

		<if Spell="Fire|Blizzard|Aero|Stone|Thunder|Water|Fire II|Blizzard II|Aero II|Stone II|Thunder II|Water II|Firaga*|Blizzaga*|Thundaga*|Stonega*|Aeroga*|Waterga*|*ja|Fira*|Blizzara*|Aerora*|Stonera*|Thundara*|Watera*">
			<if advanced='"$Nukeing"="Accuracy"'>
				<equip when="precast" set="Nuke">
						<main>$Staff-Dmg-%SpellElement</main>
						<sub>Zuuxowu grip</sub>
				</equip>
			</if>
			<else>
				<equip when="precast" set="Nuke2">
						<main>$Staff-Dmg-%SpellElement</main>
						<sub>Zuuxowu grip</sub>
				</equip>
			</else>
			<if mode="OR" element="%DayElement" WeatherElement="%SpellElement" BuffActive="$Storm-%SpellElement">
					<equip when="midcast">
						<back>Twilight cape</back>
					</equip>
						<if advanced='"$Obi-%spellElement"!="0"'>
							<equip when="midcast">
								<waist>$Obi-%spellElement</waist>
							</equip>
						</if>
			</if>
		</if>

how would I go about converting something like this into lua?

I have a feeling since gearswaps works wiht packets of spells actualyl going off, trigger spells are not possible. So the idea would probably be to splitt up the nukeing set into 2 parts, one with only body and one with the rest, and then I just send a command line in that changes the body set into what I desire?

Quick note for Byrthnoth: I don't think spell.action_type is in the spreadsheet of variables. Was it forgotten?

To handle spellcast's trigger spell functionality, you use the self_command() function in GearSwap. You call the function from the game by using //gs c <command_name>. (for example, //gs c Toggle Magic Mode)

How you implement the function is up to you. Here's an example of something that might work (pretty much pulled straight from Byrthnoth's DNC file):

magic_mode = {"High Damage", "Magic Accuracy", "Conserve MP"}
magic_index = 1

function self_command(command)

	if command == 'Toggle Magic Mode' then
		magic_index = magic_index + 1
		if magic_index > #magic_index then magic_index = 1 end
		equip(sets.midcast[magic_mode[magic_index]])
		windower.add_to_chat(8,'Switched mode to ' .. magic_mode[magic_index])
	end
end

Your sets would need to be named sets.midcast['Magic Accuracy'], etc.
That's only one example, though. You can write the function in any number of ways.

Hmmm what you say is like having 2 miscast set?

You can have something like

Set.mpcons
Set.mab
Set.midcast.spell as your midcast.

Then as default you put set.midcast.spell = set.mab

Then have a "command" to toggle it
If you have it set to mab then change it to mpcons...

(Writing this from my cel, so can't give you concrete examples)

Just had a quick question. I am trying to add binds_on_load() to Prothescar's BLU and RUN luas. I cant seem to get them to work like motentens works. What would be the right code? here is what i was trying to use.

-- Function to bind GearSwap binds when loading a GS script.
function binds_on_load()
send_command('bind f9 gs c toggle TP set')
send_command('bind f10 gs c toggle Idle set')
send_command('bind f11 gs c toggle Req set')
send_command('bind f12 gs c toggle CDC set')
end

[arshesney]

Don't think blank space is accepted in a variable name, try with TPset, Idleset, etc.

[Haborym]

How would I go about adding another idle set into this?

function customize_idle_set(idleSet)
	if player.mpp < 90 and state.IdleMode == "Normal" and state.Defense.Active == false then
		idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.Owleyes)
	end
	
	return idleSet
end

end

I don't see anything wrong with that. Did you remember to call the function at some point?

[JSHidaka]

How is correct:

buffactive.HundredFists
or
buffactive['Hundred Fists']

[dannyl]

In your gear file, where you have the function:

Spoiler: show

function init_gear_sets()
    -- Put all set definitions here, as well as any other customization that is user-specific.
end

Add an additional function for your /nin gear sets, and put the following code at the top of the above init function:

function init_gear_sets()
    -- Put all set definitions here, as well as any other customization that is user-specific.
    if player.sub_job:lower() == 'nin' then
        init_nin_gear_sets()
        return
    end
end

function init_nin_gear_sets()
    -- Put all set definitions here (/nin only), as well as any other customization that is user-specific.
end

Then you can put all your norml gear sets in the init_gear_sets() function, and all the /nin gear in the init_nin_gear_sets() function.

Spoiler: show

Just wanted to say Thank you! This worked beautifully.

[TSFFXI]

How is correct:

buffactive.HundredFists
or
buffactive['Hundred Fists']

Second form.

Nope! Got it working now, Thanks!

[Damane]

how do I write a macro about toggling commands for gearswap

I know inchat I just have to write //gs c toggle Nuke set and it works just fine

but for macros neither //gs c toggle Nuke set nor /gs c toggle Nuke set worked

[nappypup]

/console gs c toggle Nuke set

[Rio]

I was wondering with Motenten's SMN.lua, is it possible to have separate Blood Pact sets for Physical/Magic for example.

Magic BPs.
If Avatar's TP is under 200 equip Caller's Spats+2
If Avatar's TP is above 200 equip Ngen Seraweels
Equip more physical/Magic, Accuracy/Attack based on the attack mode you are set to.

And I also wanted to know if it would be possible to have two sets for idle attacking with an Avatar while idle, one which is based on Avatar Perpetuation cost the other with +pet gear for the Avatar fighting alone?

Thanks!

[Shadowmeld]

I'm leveling smn cause I feel like a new job and my inventory woes weren't already enough so question:

Do I precast pacts in bp recast reduction, pet_midcast in relevant bp damage/avatar matk gear and then aftercast or do I precast recast reduction AND bp damage/atk/matk?

[arshesney]

Option 1: precast -BP timer, midcast: damage/atk/mab/blood boon

[TSFFXI]

Is there a point where too many sets in the get_sets() function starts to bog things down?

If I don't have an item in my inventory, does GearSwap still send a packet to equip it? Is that any different than when I try to equip something via in-game macros?

[Byrthnoth]

I designed GearSwap to avoid attempting to equip items that cannot be equipped for whatever reason (Bazaar, not in inventory, already worn, etc.). As far as I know, my filters work.

There's essentially no point at which you're going to see a performance decrease based on the number of sets you make.

[Foldypaws]

So I was vaguely under the impression that midcast now worked for everything, no matter how short precast was. I'm seeing a persistant 1 second difference on recast with both timers and the in-game menu between using precast gear on stun or not. Is this normal/expected? (It's not a super big deal either way, my midcast for stun only has like 8 fewer fastcast, just want to double check if there's something I should be doing differently.)

[Yamoman]

Question for the pros out there, I'd like to use this lua for cor, but i currently use cor.xml with the greatest feature, blocks you from accidentally firing your MAB ammo (Animikii Bullet) which i've done before , anyway to add a rule to add that functionality to the lua? thx in advance
