Yes. However you need to define what you mean by "call". It has a specific meaning within programming languages, which is not what it sounds like you're wanting to do.




If by "call" you mean "retrieve the value of", then yes. However I have to fix some apparent assumptions that change the answer, depending on what you think you're doing.

Main.Weapon.Type = GreatAxe

In this case, Main.Weapon.Type is assigned the value of GreatAxe. Note that GreatAxe is not a string in and of itself, it's a label. Being a label, it represents a variable. If you have assigned GreatAxe a value, that value will be assigned to Main.Weapon.Type. If you have not assigned GreatAxe a value, then Main.Weapon.Type will be assigned the value of nil with the above statement.

If your intent is to assign the value "GreatAxe" to the variable Main.Weapon.Type, then GreatAxe needs to be a string: "GreatAxe", not a label: GreatAxe.

Same with sword.

if spell.wsA == '[world.day_element] and or [world.weather_element]' then

You have enclosed the comparson in single quotes. That makes the -entire- quote a string. You're comparing the value of the spell.wsA variable with the literal string, '[world.day_element] and or [world.weather_element]'. That comparison will never be true.

It appears you want to create some sort of vague logical comparison using the values of world.day_element and world.weather_element, and combine them with and/or. The way you've written it is completely non-functional, though.

Further, spell.wsA gives you the skillchain property of the spell, not the element of the skillchain property. That means you need to map it onto a list of elements before you can use it to compare with the day or weather element.


A quick (incomplete) bit of coding to roughly do what you're asking would be:

    skillchain_elements = get_skillchain_elements(spell.wsA, spell.wsB, spell.wsC)

    -- assuming get_skillchain_elements returns a set S{}
    if skillchain_elements:contains(world.day_element) or skillchain_elements:contains(world.weather_element) then
        -- stuff
    end

And then you'd need a function to convert skillchains to elements (eg: Fragmentation -> S{Wind, Lightning}; etc).



The answer to your question is no, though the example you give to explain your question doesn't match what your question seems to be asking. Overall I have no idea if I even know what you're asking.

so if im reading you correctly i would have to do it like this(these are examples)

Main.Weapon.Type = string: "GreatAxe"

if Main.Weapon.Type == 'GreatAxe' then

equip(sets.ws[Main.Weapon.Type]) would equal equip(sets.ws.GreatAxe)

this is what im trying to remake for GS

<variables>
        <var Name=".changestaff">0</var> <!-- 0 for no 1 for yes -->
        <var Name=".Usestaff">Damagestaff</var> <!-- Change to Accuracystaff to use Accuracy Staves and change to Damagestaff to use Damage Staves -->
        <var Name="DarkAccuracystaff">Xsaeta II</var>
        <var Name="DarkDamagestaff">Xsaeta I</var>
        <var Name="EarthAccuracystaff">Vishrava II</var>
        <var Name="EarthDamagestaff">Vishrava I</var>
        <var Name="FireAccuracystaff">Atar II</var>
        <var Name="FireDamagestaff">Agni's Staff +2</var>
        <var Name="IceAccuracystaff">Vourukasha II</var>
        <var Name="IceDamagestaff">Vourukasha I</var>
        <var Name="LightAccuracystaff">Arka II</var>
        <var Name="LightDamagestaff">Arka I</var>
        <var Name="ThunderAccuracystaff">Apamajas II</var>
        <var Name="ThunderDamagestaff">Apamajas I</var>
        <var Name="WaterAccuracystaff">Haoma II</var>
        <var Name="WaterDamagestaff">Haoma I</var>
        <var Name="WindAccuracystaff">Vayuvata II</var>
        <var Name="WindDamagestaff">Vayuvata I</var> 
 </variables>
 <rules>
        <if advanced='$.changestaff= 1'>
         <if skill="*Magic|Singing|Ninjutsu">
          <equip when="precast">
           <main>$%SpellElement$.UseStaff</main>
           <sub>%SpellElement Grip</sub>
          </equip>
          <equip when="aftercast" set="%Status" />
         </if>
        </if>
 </rules>

and i would need to use these commands to select what i want
//sc var set .changestaff 0
//sc var set .Usestaff Accuracystaff

[Motenten]

so if im reading you correctly i would have to do it like this(these are examples)

Main.Weapon.Type = string: "GreatAxe"

if Main.Weapon.Type == 'GreatAxe' then

equip(sets.ws[Main.Weapon.Type]) would equal equip(sets.ws.GreatAxe)

Correct, except for one thing.

Main.Weapon.Type = string: "GreatAxe"

should be

Main.Weapon.Type = "GreatAxe"

"string:" is me telling you what type of value I'm talking about, not telling you what to write.

[dlsmd]

ok i got confused there for a min

would this be the command for changing variables??

//gs c set <state> <value>

also what function should i put it under so it can be changed at any time??

also would this work

I'm having trouble dealing with augments, more specifically, typing the exact description interferes with the line itself and gearswap doesn't read this because of the quotation marks around "Store TP", any advice?

body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={"[1]Attack+15,[2]Accuracy+10,[3]"Store TP"+3"}}

[dlsmd]

body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={"[1]Attack+15,[2]Accuracy+10,[3]"Store TP"+3"}}

why not just do this
body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={"[1]Attack+15,[2]Accuracy+10,[3]Store_TP+3"}}

[Fival]

That doesn't work either, if im understanding this correctly, the augment description has to be exactly matching the actual augments. It works fine for Xaddi Mail rank C, but theres no quotation marks to interfere in that description, with this one it does and just doesn't swap body at all.

[Casey_]

Use escape codes on the ". Like so: \"Store TP\" I'm not sure if Lua uses the backslash as an escape identifier though.

[ph2003]

u could use '' and "" also

below is how my codes are:
feet={name="Hagondes Sabots",augments={"Physical Damage taken -2%",'"Magic Attack Bonus" +16'}},

[Fival]

None of these seems to work, it loads fine, the lines themselves look fine, but it doesn't equip the body, just all the other gear in the set.

body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={"[1]Attack+15,[2]Accuracy+10,[3]\"Store TP\"+3"}}
body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={'[1]Attack+15,[2]Accuracy+10,[3]"Store TP"+3'}}
body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={"[1]Attack+15","[2]Accuracy+10",'[3]"Store TP"+3'}}
body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={"[1]Attack+15,[2]Accuracy+10",'[3]"Store TP"+3'}}

Meanwhile, this line works fine.

body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={"[1]VIT+12,[2]Physical Damage Taken -5%,[3]Magic Damage Taken -3%"}}

Perhaps i'm just spelling something wrong, though i've double/tripled/quadruple checked and can't for the life of me see what it is.

[dlsmd]

have you tried
body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={"[1]Attack +15,[2]Accuracy +10,[3]Store TP +3"}}

[Fival]

I just did, still doesn't recognize/equip the path A xaddi mail.

[dlsmd]

how can i do this with Gearswap with as few lines as posible like i can with spellcast
<if Spell="Escape|Warp|Warp II|Retrace|Teleport-*">
<return />
</if>

i do not believe this is correct

if spell.name="Escape|Warp|Warp II|Retrace|Teleport-*" then
return
end

[TSFFXI]

I've never used Gearswap's augment system, but try

body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={"[1]Attack+15",  "[2]Accuracy+10",'[3]\"Store TP\"+3'}}

or maybe an ambiguous case

body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={"[1]Attack+15", "[2]Accuracy+10"}}

It's probably the quotes around store TP causing trouble.

Based on the examples given in the beta folder, the other augment syntax should be

body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={"[1]VIT+12","[2]Physical Damage Taken -5%","[3]Magic Damage Taken -3%"}}

Maybe it works anyway because it's able to match the VIT+12 augment, even if it can't read the rest of the line.

Maybe it's the brackets messing everything up? If nothing else works, you could try

body={name="Xaddi Mail",augments={"\[1\]Attack+15", "\[2\]Accuracy+10",'\[3\]\"Store TP\"+3'}}

[Fival]

I tried with just the Attack, and with Attack and Accuracy, neither worked, and none of the above works either. Unless im somehow spelling Attack or Accuracy wrong or missing something, i'm pretty sure it has to be an exact match but the quotation marks are messing it up, and i can't seem to break them with backslash, because while this makes it look like its fixed and the file loads, it doesn't swap to the body.

Try double or quadruple backslashes. Depending on how the actual functionality works, there's a chance that multiple function layers need additional escaped backslashes.

[Byrthnoth]

No, extdata is (occasionally) broken on live Windower right now, which would consequently break augment recognition. SE decided to change how extdata is handled . . . sometimes. We can't really figure it out. Sometimes extdata appears normally in the item array in memory, and sometimes it doesn't seem to.

This problem has been fixed on -dev.

you can define a table:

no_swap_spells = S{"Escape","Warp","Warp II", other spells}

then, wherever you're handling swaps (if using Mote's files use eventArgs.handled = true to stop processing):

if no_swap_spells[spell.name] then
return
end

[Sechs]

Did you read this? Motenten's stuff

Tried to give it a read but I had just woke up so I'm gonna have to try again.
I understood some things better, but many others didn't really make sense to me. Include this, include that, it all seems like a very complicated stratification of shared components which I'm not sure I really need. I'd rather have something less complex, more straightforward, and easier to mantain/modify without breaking something.

Tbh I had the same feeling with some SC files when I decided to start using SC, so it's not like it's a specific problem with GS coding, and in the end the only way to stop the headache was to make my own SC files.
I don't know what's wrong with me, seriously...

Gears or items at inventory doesn't have an "unique" ID that you could use to manually identify them, then equip then?

[dlsmd]

if no_swap_spells[spell.name] then
return

ok thats cool but what is this S for
= S{"E

could i do it like this as well
if spell.name == spells.transport then
return
end

with this
spells.transport = S{"Escape","Warp","Warp II", other spells}
