Not sure if you properly accounted for that, given you also mention the ally target finding function.

Code:

TP_Set_Names = {"DD", "TH", "ACCTH" "ACC"}

should be:

Code:

TP_Set_Names = {"DD", "TH", "ACCTH", "ACC"}

Spoiler block is a good idea, but I recommend also using [ code ] tags (without the spaces) when posting code.

Code:

function find_player_in_alliance(name)
    for i,v in ipairs(alliance) do
        for k,p in ipairs(v) do
            if p.name == name then
                return p
            end
        end
    end
end

function pretarget(spell)
    if spell.target.isallymember then
        local target = find_player_in_alliance(spell.target.name)
        local est_max_hp = target.hp / (target.hpp/100)
        local missingHP = math.floor(est_max_hp - target.hp)
        if spell.english == "Cure IV" and missingHP < 600 then
            cancel_spell();
            send_command('input /ma "Cure III" '..spell.target.name..';')
        end
    end

    if spell.english == "Third Eye" and vars.yolo == false and not buffactive.seigan then
        cancel_spell()
        send_command('input /ja "Seigan" <me>')
    else
        vars.yolo = false
    end

    if spell.english == "Seigan" and not buffactive.thirdeye then
        send_command('wait 1;input /ja "Third Eye" <me>')
        vars.yolo = true
    end
end

Didn't think to remove the 'spell.target.isallymember' check, is that one of your additions and not standard to gearswap?

if you want the paste bin inbox me i tried posting the url several different ways but i dont have 10 post yet sorry

try changing this
TP_Set_Names = {"DD", "TH", "ACCTH" "ACC"}
to this
TP_Set_Names = {"DD","TH","ACCTH","ACC"}
you forgot a , (and had spaces ware thay did not need to be tho this i dont think will cause an issue)

You can just post the pastebin hash value. EG: instead of http://pastebin.com/emyZAC3X, just put emyZAC3X.

That's a standard GearSwap field. I need to check that in the waltz code because I can't cure people outside of the party/ally.

I'd suggest inserting print_set(tablename) in there to make sure that the fields the code is looking for actually exist.

Problem:
I want a better and more customizable way to handle Repulse Mantle on RUN.
Currently I have 4 TP sets on RUN: DD, Hybrid, PDT, MDT.
Let's leave aside DD and focus on the other 3.
I can't find a satisfying way to pre-define situations/conditions where I'd want to use Repulse Mantle over my currently equipped mantle (atm using Evasionist's, Iximulew and Mubvumbamiri, but considering to get a more standard Mollusca Mantle I guess).
I decided I want to manually switch the Repulse mantle mode with a toggle (self_command).

Initial situation:
So basically this is more or less the situation where I come from:

Spoiler: show

Resulting situation:
Given those above are the situations where I handle the equip of my TP sets, I thought about just simply splitting those "Ifs" even further with an additional branch and tracking repulse mode On/Off with an additional var, handling it with a simple toggle defined within self_command.

Spoiler: show

Didn't try it of course, it's just something I thought of this morning >.>
But it seems to me it should be working?

**dlsmd** · 2014-05-19 02:09

would this be correct

Code:

	if spell.english:startswith(Indi-) and player.indi.element == [spell.element] then
		cancel_spell()
		return
	end

player.indi is new with no examples to go by

edit i got this figured out
i needed to do this
if string.find(spell.english,'Indi-') and player.indi.element == spell.element then

Won't work, but it's all to do with the second line there. Firstly the operator, secondly I think 'engaged' needs quotes.

Here's my status change block for reference:

Code:

function status_change(new,old)
    if new == 'Engaged' then
        equip(sets.TP[vars.TP])
    else
        equip(sets.Idle.Swag)
        send_command('wait 1;input /lockstyle on;gs c Afterswag')
    end
end

function self_command(command)
    if command == 'intercept' then
        vars.intercept = true
    elseif command == 'Afterswag' then
        if player.hpp > player.mpp then
            equip(sets.Idle.Refresh)
        else
            equip(sets.Idle.Regen)
        end
    end
end

I actually plan to use that Intercept command I was talkin' about to do Shockwave in place of Swipe on my Ctrl+3 macro just like how it auto-repeats the last rune I manually entered on Ctrl+1, since I only use one or the other depending on situation.

function self_command
  if command == 1 then
     equip(PDTset)
  end
  if command == 2 then
     equip(MDTset)
  end
end

the second line needs to be
if new=='Engaged' then

**dv8nxs** · 2014-05-19 02:33

wrong thread sorry

**dv8nxs** · 2014-05-19 02:36

just wanted to see if any of you think there is a better way of doing anything and is done correctly and i thank everyone who has helped me get this correct

pastebin = gYR4RtbA

**Sechs** · 2014-05-19 02:37

Yeah it was an example I wrote in 2 seconds, I didn't copypaste 'cause I don't have my Lua with me atm

What's in the original Lua (the first spoiler) works 101%, I just simplified it a bit too much I guess while typing in here.

Does GearSwap require a QD/RA bullet check? I.E., is it able to swap bullets properly without shooting a R/EX Quick Draw bullet instead of a normal TP bullet by itself, or do I need to add a rule specifically to safeguard against that like with SpellCast?

I have several points where it equips the bullet; i.e., I have a redundant set of sets that only involve the bullets on top of the bullets being added to normal ranged/ws/qd sets. Is this enough of a failsafe?

**Sechs** · 2014-05-19 09:58

How do I correctly type the "content" of a variable into a chatline?
Let's say I have a variable and I want its content displayed into an echo chat line

var1 = 'Sieben'
[cut]
send_command('@input /echo Sechs is very very '..var1..' and you know you like it')

I'd want to the result to be a chatline like
"Sechs is very very Sieben and you know you like it".
How can I do it? Because clearly the send_command I wrote above doesn't work.

There is nothing that should logically allow GearSwap to know that you don't want to fire that bullet. And if you run out of normal ammo and have the quick draw bullet equipped, since there's no actual other ammo to equip, GearSwap will optimize out the attempt to send an equip command that's just going to error out, and you will fire with the quick draw ammo.

As for whether what you have is "enough" of a failsafe, that's impossible to say without seeing the code. However you do need the handle the logic of not firing that bullet yourself. On the upside, you can check whether you have the appropriate regular ammo in inventory before even trying, so there's a lot less guesswork involved.

What you wrote -should- work. You could also use:

add_to_chat(122, 'Sechs is very very '..var1..' and you know you like it')

In the event that you don't know for certain that var1 is a string (eg: it's a number, or possibly nil, etc), then you'd want to use tostring(var1) instead of just the naked var1.
