So yeah, I have no idea. @_@

Blackout... Not good from cellphone... But with gs you don't need to worry if the spell cast too fast, you can precast a barspell and still cast it in the right midcast gear, you can even ass occ. quick magic and will cast in the right set.

Edit: saw the problem in the midcast function, you have ElementalMagic, should be 'Elemental Magic' will happen the same with healingmagic

**Kensagaku** · 2014-05-15 19:45

No, it's literally that it's not switching to midcast at all, not that it's switching wrong. Additionally, Elemental Magic isn't casting in the proper precast set (which includes Bagua hands, Elemental Magic Casting Time -11%) and is casting in an entirely different precast set.

**JSHidaka** · 2014-05-15 19:47

Code:

function precast(spell)
        if spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
                if spell.skill == 'Geomancy' then
                        equip(sets.precast.FC.geomancy)
               
                elseif spell.skill == 'Healing Magic' then
                                if string.find(spell.english,'Cur') and spell.name ~= 'Cursna' then
                                        equip(sets.precast.Cure)
                                else
                                        equip(sets.precast.FC)
                                end
                                       
             
                elseif spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' then
                                equip(sets.precast.FC.Elemental)
                       
                elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' then
                                equip(sets.precast.FC.Enhancing)
                else
                        equip(sets.precast.FC)
                end
        elseif spell.type == 'JobAbility' then
                if sets.precast.JA[spell.english] then equip(sets.precast.JA[spell.english]) end
        end
end
 
function midcast(spell)
        if spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
                if spell.skill == 'Geomancy' then
                        if string.find(spell.english,'Indi-') then
                                equip(sets.midcast.Indi)
                        elseif string.find(spell.english,'Geo-') then
                                equip(sets.midcast.Geo)
                        end
               
                elseif spell.skill == 'Healing Magic' then
                        if string.find(spell.english,'Cur') and spell.name ~= 'Cursna' then
                                equip(sets.midcast.Cure)
                        else
                                equip(sets.midcast.Recast)
                        end
               
                elseif spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' then
                        equip(sets.midcast.Elemental)
                        if spell.element == world.weather_element or spell_element == world.day_element then
                                equip(sets.Obi[spell.element])
                        end
               
                elseif spell.skill == 'Enfeebling Magic' then
                        equip(sets.midcast.Enfeeble)
               
                elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' then
                        if string.find(spell.english,'Phalanx') then
                                equip(sets.midcast.Enhancing)
                        else
                                equip(sets.midcast.recast)
                        end
                end
        end
end

with the new resourses, healingmagic, elementalmagic, enhancingmagic, enfeeblingmagic are now 'Healing Magic', 'Elemental Magic', 'Enhancing Magic', Enfeebling Magic'... about JobAbility.. not sure.. but if not working.. try 'Job Ability'

**Kensagaku** · 2014-05-15 19:49

Aha! That did it. I saw it without the space in an example (I think it was one of the ones in the folder) and went with that, but I guess it's changed or something since the tutorial ones were created. But everything is working well, thanks to both of you who were patient with my goof-ups. x.x

**dlsmd** · 2014-05-15 20:04

the only thing i can see is that your not using the correct skill names

spell.type comes from the names listed in these files (the end of each spells/ability's line ware type=)
Windower4\res\spells.lua
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower4\res\abilities.lua

spell.skill comes from the names listed in this file
Windower4\res\skills.lua

**dlsmd** · 2014-05-15 20:23

Code:

spell.type
	JobAbility
	PetCommand
	CorsairRoll
	Samba
	Waltz
	Jig
	Step
	Flourish1
	Flourish2
	Flourish3

Thank you, brohan.

#Darkmagi how do you toggle ? f9 doesnt work.

**dv8nxs** · 2014-05-16 06:11

this is what i have currently for gearswap and getting errors

Spoiler: show

this is what i had for spellcast and trying to make it like that

Spoiler: show

and yes i know this is not great gear but its okay gear trying to learn the easy switches for gearswap before i start on my thief that has more gearswaps and macro changes thanks in advance for the help or teaching ^^

**JSHidaka** · 2014-05-16 06:43

What error are you getting? Coz at first look the code is ok

Probably the error can be coz augmented gear, if you don't have multiple of each piece, remove the augmented part like
head="Cizin Helm",
Instead what you have there

if gearswaps for the sets w/ augmented dont work.. remove them, cant test that atm

**Infinite** · 2014-05-16 07:50

So I decided to redownload my BLU lua and start again and i realised bokura has updated all there lua files. Everything is now working fine on my BLU lua except one thing, I am not changing gear for unbridled learning/wisdom spells (not even fast cast) Can anyone help me fix it please. Here is a link to the file http://pastebin.com/wEaxvpeb.

Also I noticed on Bokura's WAR and DRK lua's that SAM roll sets have been added. I was thinking of making these sets purely multi-attack and no hit builds and would like to use them when I also have any form of Regain active.

I beleave this is the part of the code I would need to edit:
if buffactive["Samurai Roll"] and equipSet["STP"] and Samurai_Roll == 'ON' then
equipSet = equipSet["STP"]
end

would simply changing it to this work?
if buffactive["Samurai Roll"] or buffactive["Tactician's Roll"] or buffactive.Regain or buffactive.Voidwatcher and equipSet["STP"] and Samurai_Roll == 'ON' then
equipSet = equipSet["STP"]
end

**hopefulki** · 2014-05-16 08:20

Is it possible to set up gearswap to equip gear before using an item, like a precast for items? Thanks to the inventory space upgrade, I now bought a pair of Blenmont's Rings and wanted to set up a rule for using holy waters.

Granted, I know this can be an easy in-game macro, but just curious if I can add this to GearSwap.

Thanks!

**Byrthnoth** · 2014-05-16 08:23

Yeah, items used through chat commands can be precasted. You will have to use /item "Holy Water" <me> though.

What I'm essentially trying to do is this: I want to be able to switch sets based on my casting set and whether or not I have a pet. After doing some digging, I've seen some things in the examples and on other gearswap examples that have it so you can toggle your gearset, so that seems pretty straightforward once I get that down. I think what I'm trying to do essentially is this: I want my aftercast to switch into one of four sets: Standard (refresh etc), DT (For when I'm danger GEO), Pet Standard (Backline, pet set), or Pet DT (hybrid pet set and self DT set). However, I want it done in a specific way, if it's possible. If I'm in my standard set (i.e. I'm in no danger), I want to end in my Pet Standard set when I have a luopan up. However, if I'm in my DT set (i.e. I'm in the frontlines for an Indi-debuff), I want to end in my hybrid set when I have a luopan up.

With Spellcast I could do this with variables (though I don't recall being able to check pet status; I had to toggle pet on or off manually) but I'm not sure how that'd be done with Gearswap.

Using Mote's includes is a good option if you don't feel up to coding all this yourself. His includes do all the hard work for you, and you'll get the functionality you want out of the box.

It may not be all that obvious, but here's how you would implement what you mentioned above in Mote's GEO.lua

Toggles are already implemented, and pets are automatically recognized. This is what the toggles look like, if you inspect line 21 in the file linked above.

Code:

options.OffenseModes = {'Normal'}
options.DefenseModes = {'Normal'}
options.WeaponskillModes = {'Normal'}
options.IdleModes = {'Normal', 'PDT'}
options.RestingModes = {'Normal'}
options.PhysicalDefenseModes = {'PDT'}
options.MagicalDefenseModes = {'MDT'}

Notice there's options.IdleModes = {'Normal', 'PDT'} which is exactly what you need. By default, the idleMode toggle is tied to ALT-F12 to cycle through them, but you can override that if you want.

All you really need to do is create the correct sets.

This would be your standard "aftercast" gear for refresh, etc.

Code:

sets.idle = {  
-- put gear here
}

For "Danger GEO" mode (after you toggle to PDT)

Code:

sets.idle.PDT = {
 -- danger geo gear
}

If you have a Loupon out, this is used after you cast

Code:

sets.idle.Pet = {
-- loupon is out gear
}

This will be used when you've toggled into PDT and your Loupon is out.

Code:

sets.idle.PDT.Pet = {
-- loupon is out and i'm in PDT idleMode
}

In practice this is really easy, since all you have to do is hit a single hotkey to go back and forth between PDT and Normal.

If you wanted to add another mode to your idle toggle, this is how:

Code:

-- modify this on line 24
options.IdleModes = {"Normal", "Hybrid", "PDT"}  

-- put these further down with the sets
sets.idle.Hybrid = { -- gear }
sets.idle.Hybrid.Pet = { -- gear }

If you would prefer to use macros instead of toggling a key. This also works.

Code:

/console gs c set IdleMode PDT

Hopefully that wasn't terribly confusing. I know some new users are scared off by Mote's includes, but IMO they're much better to start with since the alternative is to code everything yourself.

**chichicha** · 2014-05-16 10:28

Tried Mote's pup.lua, F10 works, but F9 toggles doesn't seem to work.

**Glecent** · 2014-05-16 16:09

I'm having trouble using Motenten's RDM.lua. I've moved the equip sets to charName_RDM_Gear.lua which seems to be fine but for some reason it's not equiping any of the sets.midcast.MagicSkillType gear (sets.midcast.ElementalMagic etc). It equips sets.midcast.FastRecast and then just stops unless there's a specific set for the spell like sets.midcast["Slow II"] or special handling in job_post_midcast. The only logic change I have made is in job_post_midcast to use sets.buff.ComposureOther if the target for an enhancing spell is self and accession and composure are both active.

Code:

-- Run after the default midcast() is done.
-- eventArgs is the same one used in job_midcast, in case information needs to be persisted.
function job_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
	if spell.skill == 'Enfeebling Magic' and state.Buff.Saboteur then
		equip(sets.buff.Saboteur)
	elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' then
		if buffactive.composure and spell.target.type == 'PLAYER' then
			equip(sets.buff.ComposureOther)
		elseif spell.target.type == 'SELF'  then
			if buffactive.composure and buffactive.accession then
				equip (sets.buff.ComposureOther)
			else
				equip(sets.midcast.EnhancingDuration)
			end
		end
	end
end

Any idea what might be going wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you update your spell.skill sets after the windower resource update 2 weeks ago?

Any set named like sets.midcast.ElementalMagic needs to be renamed to sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'] etc..
