Using Mote's WHM GS, Is there a way to toggle curagas between full MND and enmity -?
Also his SCH GS is a little buggy when it comes to switching back to idle set's head piece after casting a spell with sublimation on.
(Sorry for asking about that in the shop thread.)

**chichicha** · 2014-05-22 06:09

Downloaded Moten's Pup.lua and others.
I changed gears there. But F9 and TP gears won't work.

**Astaro** · 2014-05-22 08:21

Still having a problem with Mote's SMN lua file not swapping in magical BP equipment... anyone able to see something I've missed?

Spoiler: show

Create a new entry in options.CastingModes, and create sets to match. EG: add 'Enmity' casting mode, and add a sets.midcast.Curaga.Enmity set.

If you can give me any more specific details on problematic behavior, let me know. I don't see anything immediately wrong in the code.

You'll need to be more specific about the problem in order for anyone to help you. Define "won't work".

**chichicha** · 2014-05-22 09:32

Sorry was posting too fast.
What I did, basically copy all the GS job lua files plus utilities, include and etc on the kinetics page.
I started to try Pup.lua by just changing the gears I have and etc in the pup.lua.
I pressed F10, pdt gear swap fine.
When I press F9, they didn't change back to TP. Pressed F9 again, acc to gears didn't happen to swap either.
At this stage my gears still remained at PDT.
I went engage a mob, still stay at PDT.

However, when I healed, it swapped to healing.
When I get up, it swapped to IDLe.

I'm not sure I missed anything there.
Just Acc TP and TP gears didn't seem to swap at all.

Did you copy this line as part of the code?

Code:

local cure_mp_cost = {['Cure'] = 8, ['Cure II'] = 24, ['Cure III'] = 46, ['Cure IV'] = 88, ['Cure V'] = 135, ['Cure VI'] = 227}

If that's there, do a print(mpCost) before the conditional line to be sure it was set to a numeric value.

Working as intended. F10 (PDT) and F11 (MDT) override all other gear (except kiting, if you enable that), and remain on until you explicitly turn them off (though you can freely switch between them). Hit alt-F12 to turn them off.

Regarding his SCH GS, by default it attempts to equip Academic's Mortarboard for your idle set when Sublimation is active. If you don't have that piece of gear, or use something else like Scholar's Mortarboard/+1, you can remove/change it here:

Code:

	sets.buff.FullSublimation = {head="Academic's Mortarboard",ear2="Savant's Earring",body="Argute Gown +2"}
	sets.buff.PDTSublimation = {head="Academic's Mortarboard",ear2="Savant's Earring"}

Hi, currently working on my 1st gearswap, for COR.

Read a couple of examples and i still have a real issue with dealing with barrage.

Let's say you have 2 stacks of ammo in your inventory :
the 1st stack has 3 bullets left is the one currently equipped.
the 2nd one has 20 bullets. (you just scavenged them for example).

you want to use barrage next.

So far all the gearswaps i saw use the player.inventory[bullet].count to check if you have enough ammo left. But with this, this function would actually return 23 bullets when you only have 3 equipped... Sooooo i'm stuck here, trying to find the equivalent but only for the equipped bullets.

fyi : player.equipment.ammo only returns a string, nothing to work with here.

I feel like I need to set up a bug reporting form like on the official forums, just to get decent information when people have a problem.

Did you turn on showswaps and/or debugmode? Did you review what gear is and is not being equipped? Which event, exactly, is not equipping the appropriate gear? Or is the issue that the gear is being equipped at the wrong time?

Did personal tests, and I'm not seeing any problem with magical pacts.

not

so
if player.mp < spell.mp_cost and not (buffactive['Manafont'] or buffactive['Mana Well']) then

While it's possible to get the individual stack counts (GearSwap just doesn't expose the values), I don't think it's possible to know which stack is currently equipped. And, even if it did, there's no easy way to change which stack is equipped.

Not correct. For the code I gave, the mpCost variable is the cost of the spell we're considering switching to, not the cost of the attempted spell. So spell.mp_cost would not give a correct value to compare to.

I see ^^ i thought so (else all other gearswaps would have done it already).

thanks for the answer ^^

**Trumpy** · 2014-05-22 16:44

Hmm just a thought here, would it be possible for the GS to check the counts of individual stacks and if they both add up to an amount less than 99 to de equip the ammo for a moment (say after a regular ranged attack) and when it gets un equipped something like lightluggage would stack them together? I know when i have multiple stacks of fishing bait that arent a full 99 stack when i unequip what i have equipped they will get stacked together via light luggage i think, so might work with ammo too? this way you would most likely always have enuf bullets equipped to do your barrage stuff unless its your last stack.

**Trumpy** · 2014-05-22 19:25

Mostly correct. Add an include('yourfile.lua') in get_sets() to load it, and put refine_cure(spell) in precast(). Also, since you're not using my includes, change instances of eventArgs.cancel = true to cancel_spell(). Make sure not to run additional code after that, if you do, though.

Do I need to remove ", eventArgs" in this line as well?

Code:

function refine_cure(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)

About not running additional code after that, does this mean in the precast section of my whm file? And if so will this work or do i need to move things around?

Code:

function precast(spell)
	if midaction() or pet_midaction() then
        cancel_spell()
        return
    end
	if spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
		equip(sets.MA.FC)
		if spell.name == 'Stoneskin' then
			equip(sets.MA.FC.Stoneskin)
			if buffactive.stoneskin then
				windower.ffxi.cancel_buff(37)
			end
		elseif spell.name == 'Sneak' then
			equip(sets.MA.FC.Enh)
			if buffactive.sneak and spell.target.type == 'SELF' then
				windower.ffxi.cancel_buff(71)
			end
		else spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' then
			equip(sets.MA.FC.Enh)
		end
		if spell.name:startswith('Cure') or spell.name:startswith('Cura') then
			equip(sets.MA.FC.Cure)
			refine_cure(spell)
		end
	end
	if spell.name == 'Spectral Jig' and buffactive.sneak then
		windower.ffxi.cancel_buff(71)
	end
	if spell.name == 'Light Arts' and buffactive['Addendum: White'] then
		cancel_spell()
		add_to_chat(122,'Light Arts Cancelled!')
	elseif spell.name == 'Light Arts' and buffactive['Light Arts'] then
		cancel_spell()
		send_command('Addendum: White')
		add_to_chat(122,'Addendum: White Activated!')
	elseif spell.name == 'Light Arts' and not buffactive['Light Arts'] then
		add_to_chat(122,'Click Two Times to Trigger Addendum!')
	end
	if spell.name == 'Dark Arts' and buffactive['Addendum: Black'] then
		cancel_spell()
		add_to_chat(122,'Dark Arts Cancelled!')
	elseif spell.name == 'Dark Arts' and buffactive['Dark Arts'] then
		cancel_spell()
		send_command('Addendum: Black')
		add_to_chat(122,'Addendum: Black Activated!')
	elseif spell.name == 'Dark Arts' and not buffactive['Dark Arts'] then
		add_to_chat(122,'Click Two Times to Trigger Addendum!')
	end
end

Thanks again everyone!

Logged on and finally able to do some testing on the cure changing stuff. I am gettin error attempt to call global 'find_player_in_alliance' (a nil value) on this line

Code:

local target = find_player_in_alliance(spell.target.name)

I am not using any of Motes includes, Is this code wrong or do i need to add something else to my include to get it to work.

EDIT: Ok nevermind i just checked his various includes and searched "find_player_in_alliance" and found it in utils and added that in mine. Then it gave me a couple more errors which i guessed on and seems to be workin now (so far)

**viperkc** · 2014-05-22 22:49

Any ideas on this? No gear swaps when i WS:

Here is sets :

Code:

sets.ws = {}
			sets.ws.coronach = {}
			sets.ws.coronach.low_acc = {
                ammo="Achiyal. Bullet",
				head="Arcadian Beret +1",
				neck="Rancor Collar",
				ear1="Flame Pearl",
				ear2="Vulcan's Pearl",
				body="Kyujutsugi",
				hands="Arc. Bracers +1",
				ring1="Pyrosoul Ring",
				ring2="Rajas Ring",
				back="Buquwik Cape",
				waist="Breeze Belt",
				legs="Nahtirah Trousers",
				feet="Arcadian Socks +1"}
			sets.ws.coronach.med_acc = set_combine(sets.ws.coronach.low_acc, { hands="Sigyn's bazubands",
				})
			sets.ws.coronach.high_acc = set_combine(sets.ws.coronach.low_acc, { ring2="Paqichikaji Ring",
				legs="Arc. Braccae +1",
                back="Lutian Cape",
				})
			sets.ws.coronach.Super_acc = set_combine(sets.ws.coronach.low_acc, { ring2="Paqichikaji Ring",
				legs="Arc. Braccae +1",
                back="Lutian Cape",
				})

and this:

Code:

function precast(spell,arg)
		local check_ammo
        local check_ammo_count = 1
	--[[************************************************************************NEW RULE**********************************************************************************]]	
		if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
            if spell.target.distance > 21.0  then                                          
                add_to_chat(167,''..spell.target.name..' is too far can not use '..spell.name..'!!!. Cancelling WeaponSkill ')                          
				cancel_spell() 
				return
			end
			elseif spell.name == "Coronach" then
				equip(sets.ws.coronach[AccuracyLevel .. '_acc'])
			elseif spell.name == "Last Stand" then
				equip(sets.ws.laststand[AccuracyLevel .. '_acc'])
			elseif spell.name == "Wildfire" then
				equip(sets.ws.Wildfire[AccuracyLevel .. '_acc'])	
        end
