Trying to skill up ranged skills; does anyone have an easy way to auto-ranged attack, and make sure it equips ammo/pops a quiver if there isn't any?

buy skill up books? -_-....

the addon autora works w/ the fix that is one pages behind this... and just write a lua that equip ammo every shoot ...

My skill was <50, so its faster to skill then use books. I'll look into the autora, thanks.

[dlsmd]

for auto ra use the plugin
AutoRA
but you have to fix it by
Open AutoRA.lua
Change lines 58 and 62 from windower.send_command('/shoot <t>') to windower.send_command('input /shoot <t>')
Change line 103 to windower.send_command('@wait 1;input /shoot <t>')
Save the file.

I modified this part

Spoiler: show

[code]elseif spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
-- all weaponskills fall under this table
local wsSet = sets.precast.WS
-- if you defined a set for a specific weaponskill...
if wsSet[spell.english] then
-- then use that sub-table
wsSet = wsSet[spell.english]
-- if you defined a set for the current weaponskill mode for this weaponskill...
if wsSet[weaponskillMode] then
-- then use that sub-table
wsSet = wsSet[weaponskillMode]
end
end
-- equip whatever table we ended up finding
equip(wsSet)
end [/code

with this one

Spoiler: show

elseif spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
			-- all weaponskills fall under this table
			local wsSet = sets.precast.WS
			-- if you defined a set for a specific weaponskill...
			if wsSet[spell.english] then
				-- then use that sub-table
				wsSet = wsSet[spell.english]
				-- if you defined a set for the current weaponskill mode for this weaponskill...
				if wsSet[weaponskillMode] then
				-- then use that sub-table
					wsSet = wsSet[weaponskillMode]
				end
			end
			-- equip whatever table we ended up finding
			if buffactive['Sneak Attack'] then
				equip(wsSet, sets.precast.WS.Crit)
			elseif buffactive['Climatic Flourish'] then
				equip(wsSet, sets.precast.WS.Climatic)
			else
				equip(wsSet)
			end

Basically I added an "if" before that very last equip line, and branched what would be a single situation into three possible one (Sneakattack active, Climaticflourish active, everything else)
Notice any big error? Is it going to work?

[Orestes]

Can anyone explain when buffactive is evaluated in job_setup()
i.e.

function job_setup()
    state.Buff.Migawari = buffactive.migawari or false
end

It seems like it would only be initialized once on load (to false), but I gather it's also evaluated at other times?

I believe it's evaluated whenever there's a change in your buffs.

I know for the NIN lua in motenten's templates, that's how the haste groups are parsed (loss/gain of march/haste/embrava).

Hit Ctrl-F in your text editor, enter Migawari, then hit F3 to continue to find the next reference, so that you can see all the different places where it's modified.

And yes, that particular statement is only evaluated on script load. The point is that when you load (or reload) the lua script, you have no idea whether that buff is active or not, so you need to check for it to give the variable an initial value. After that, modify it whenever you cast the spell or buff_change() is called.

Thanks, that's what I thought, but missed it being set in job_aftercast()

I had initially searched for state.buff.Doomed, and didn't see it set anywhere.

[Sechs]

Getting error on line 69. Where is the mistake, can anybody explain?

[Falkirk]

You wrote "set" instead of "sets", should be:

sets.precast.WS['Exenterator'].Acc = set_combine(sets.precast.WS['Exenterator'], {ammo="Honed Tathlum",
                waist="Anguinus Belt"})

i was wondering if the information on if your going to do a double shot is sent to the pc and would it be possible to pick up on it before midcast to change out a piece of gear. im thinking its not sent but i dont know for sure so ill ask

as far as i know no the only thing you can do is if double shot gives a status effect is to equip gear based on if the buff is active

If are like synths, guess is possible.... but this is a question for ppl that know how packets works

[Byrthnoth]

If the aiming animation is different then you can. Otherwise it is pretty unlikely. I do not play RNG so I don't know.

Ok the file is fine now, no syntax errors as it gets loaded.
Overall it works but I've found 3 errors

http://pastebin.com/ns5K1GEC

1. Line 180, something is wrong there. When I use Saber Dance and then I engage, he fails in that line and gives me an error
2. I'm clearly attempting to do something that's not possible to do in lines 216, 218 and 220. I was just trying to change the current WSmode and link this change to the TPset change (which works, instead)
3. In the Precast rules, on the weaponskill part, it works perfectly and gives me no error, but the If about Climatic Flourish does not seem to be working.

Can anybody help me see how to fix these?


Edit:
Fixed part 3. I called the JA "Climatic Flourish" all through the Lua instead of "ClimaCtic Flourish".

[dlsmd]

for #1
you have this set.precast['Saber Dance']
but it should be sets.precast['Saber Dance']
this also exists on line 168

For #2 try this but i think the main issue is that user_setup() is never called in the lua you posted and its not something that gear swap normally activates

	if command == 'toggle TP set' then
		TP_ind = TP_ind +1
		if TP_ind > 5 then
			TP_ind = 1
			if TP_ind == 2 then
				state.WeaponskillMode = 'Acc'
			elseif TP_ind == 3 then
				state.WeaponskillMode = 'Mod'
			else
				state.WeaponskillMode = 'Normal'
			end
		end
		send_command('@input /echo <----- TP Set changed to '..sets.TP.index[TP_ind]..' ----->')
		equip(sets.TP[sets.TP.index[TP_ind]])
	end

[Sechs]

I'm really good at seeing those missing "s", am I not?!
Fixed 1, thanks.
#2 doesn't give me the line error anymore, but I see an "unknown command" error in the chatbox.
Indeed, the WS set remains the same and doesn't change.
Does this mean that "state.WeaponskillMode = 'Mod'" is not a valid command, in that place?

Also, the way you've coded it, wouldn't GS get to the line "if TP_ind == 2 then" only when the previous condition (if TP_ind > 5 then) is true?
Because if that is so, then that if will always be false, because when TP_ind is > 5 of course it will never be == 2.


Another small thing. My Utsusemi precast set wasn't working. I thought "Utsusemi" was a valid GS category? Of course it works if I rename the precast set from sets.precast.Utsusemi to sets.precast.Ninjutsu

dang my mind is bad today
this was what i wanted to post

	if command == 'toggle TP set' then
		TP_ind = TP_ind +1
		if TP_ind > 5 then
			TP_ind = 1
		elseif TP_ind == 2 then
			state.WeaponskillMode = 'Acc'
		elseif TP_ind == 3 then
			state.WeaponskillMode = 'Mod'
		else
			state.WeaponskillMode = 'Normal'
		end
		send_command('@input /echo <----- TP Set changed to '..sets.TP.index[TP_ind]..' ----->')
		equip(sets.TP[sets.TP.index[TP_ind]])
	end

also you can just put these lines in to your function get_sets()

options.WeaponskillModes = {'Normal', 'Acc', 'Mod'}
state.WeaponskillMode = 'Normal'
