Gearswap Help Thread!

Trust.spells ~= Trust.spell

And you'd probably want to verify that the NPC is in your party before trying to reference it in change_target.

im aware of that but there is no way to even get the party position of specific members(with there name)

this was just an example party.position[spell.target.raw] to show what id like to do

Gearswap doesn't seem to call pretarget when you cast on a trust using /ma "Cure IV" Lion or whatever it may be. It looks like gearswap doesn't recognize the cast at all.

the code above does not work
but pretarget does not work if you use the menu only if you type it in to chat or(maby) from macro

I tried typing /ma "Cure IV" Lion in chat and from a macro. It casts c4 on her, but gearswap doesn't recognize the cast.

thats funny for some reason when i use /ja "Curing Waltz" NanaaMihgo or /ma "Cure" NanaaMihgo it wont work at all
i keep getting a command error from pol

and if i type in /ja "Curing Waltz" Nana it shows /jobablity "Curing Waltz" NanaaMihgo

I just tried it again with NanaaMihgo, with and without addons loaded.

Spoiler: show

I thought maybe it wasn't working for you because there might be more than one NanaaMihgo summoned in the zone, so I tested with 2 in range. Still worked for me.

I've been having a ton of problems with the pretarget function. It only seems to work once in a blue moon, and particularly never with <stal>. Was why my cure-changing efficiency function wasn't working.

Does still work fine for my auto-seigan bit though.

OK, summoned Maat and tested:

1) "/ma cure maat" will cure Maat. This will not trigger any GearSwap code to run.
2) "//cure maat" will not cure Maat or cause any GearSwap code to run.
3) "//cure <p1>" will cure Maat. This will cause GearSwap to run normal code.

There is no direct reference to "party.position[spell.target.raw]". You'd have party[index] refer to a player table, though that player table doesn't contain their party position.

A means of doing this using one of my utility functions would be:

local inv_party = invert_table(party)
local player_party_index = inv_party[spell.target.name]

However I'm not sure what point there would be in that, since by that point you're already running normal code.

Doing some debugging, it seems that GearSwap just doesn't handle the packets that come through when you specify the NPC name directly. Will hand that off to Byrth, and see if he wants to handle it.

Misc. Augment issues have been reported for a while, so I spent some time and made an extdata library (largely based on Iryoku's previous work). I've integrated that library into GearSwap for version 8.60 instead of relying on my previous parse_augments.lua. It seems to be much more reliable.
THIS MAY HAVE CHANGED SOME AUGMENT NAMES.

I also think I enabled evolith support and a bunch of miscellaneous previously unsupported augments while I was at it, but I'm not entirely sure because I don't have any evolith gear to test with. Why did I waste time on evoliths, you ask? Honestly not sure!


Debugging:
If the augmented gear that you specify in your file will not equip, it means that the augment augment table you provided is likely not matching with the library's export. To debug this, put the gear on and use "//gs export". This will automatically generate a Lua file in windower/addons/GearSwap/data/export that shows your currently worn gear complete with augments when appropriate. If you copy that table over to your user file, it should work all the time. If it doesn't work, please make an issue here:

Thanks!

I'm trying to put some aliases in windower for gearswap commands so that I can set them to my gaming keyboard. I had this figured out a long time ago for spellcast, but of course gearswap is different.

If you go into the console, and type "alias bw_m1 input //gs c toggle TP set" (without the quotes), it makes an alias that allows me to toggle my BLU's TP set by pressing M1 on my blackwidow keyboard. But that doesn't stick between sessions, if you shut down the game, it loses the aliases. If you go into the init.txt file, if you type that same command into the end of that file, it thinks everything after the // is a comment, because . . . that's the way to comment things out. How do I get the gearscore command into my init.txt file alias? It's probably something really simple that I just don't know.

You use the // prefix when you're entering a command from the chat line. If you're entering in the console or a keybind (since the keybind will be sending directly to the console), just enter it as "alias bw_m1 gs c toggle TP set".

That doesn't work, it just makes me say gs c toggle TP set in say chat.

[Motenten]

Oh, woops, I see. You used 'alias', not 'bind'. In that case, try "alias bw_m1 input /console gs c toggle TP set"

Using Moten's SCH lua as a template, I tried implementing a "Max HP Precast Sublimation" set. I soon realized it wasn't as simple as writing:

Spoiler: show

sets.precast.JA['Sublimation'] = {
                        main="Kirin's Pole",
                        head="Nahtirah Hat",
                        neck="Cuamiz Collar",
                        body="Pluvial",
                        hands="Gende. Gages +1",
                        ring1="Meridian Ring",
                        ring2="Eihwaz Ring",
                        back="Aenotherus Mantle",
                        legs="Nares Trews",
                        feet="Gende. Galoshes"}

Using this, I'd transiently move into a max HP set when I activate Sublimation, but when I activate a "Sublimation: Complete", it never gives me the correct amount of HP. Is there any way to make this work?

[Motenten]

The sets.precast.JA sets are only for equipping immediately before taking an action; it doesn't stay there for the duration of the effect. You probably want to set up a sets.buffs.Sublimation set that you apply by customizing your idle set in customize_idle_set().

[Sabishii]

Oh, woops, I see. You used 'alias', not 'bind'. In that case, try "alias bw_m1 input /console gs c toggle TP set"

Tried that too, doesn't work, it doesn't do anything at all.

[Byrthnoth]

Should never need to use "input /console". Try just dropping that and using "alias bw_m1 gs c toggle TP set"

okay, that DOES work, THANK YOU!

[Motenten]

use "alias bw_m1 gs c toggle TP set"

thats what i thought when i read it as well
he must have put the code in wrong

also
Would this work??
Stepmax = 1
if buffactive['Finishing Move '..Stepmax] then --out put true if Finishing Move 1 is active

edit--
the above code seams to work

edit 2--
can we use buffactive like this
buffactive.381 -- 381 is for Finishing Move 1

[Byrthnoth]

I think it has to be buffactive[381]. buffactive.381 implies that 381 is a string, but buff ID is a number.

[Catwho]

I had been using

/console gs c set daurdabla Daurdabla

to switch out to harp on the fly, but as of the update today that is giving me

"Mote-Gearswap: Set: Unknown field [daurdabla]"

Has something changed in the updated versions? And if so, what should I be using for my switch-to-harp macro?
