I had edited my post that i figured out the command thing. The commands are apparently case sensitive to what you put in your lua, aka I was typing "/con gs c toggle Melee set" in chatline and it worked but in the macro version i had "/con gs c toggle Melee Set" and it wasnt working. Everything was looking the same to me and I posted about it thinking i must be doin something wrong I dont see, and bout 15 minutes later I caught the word "set" was capitalized and i changed it to see if that was it, and it was the problem. Also solved my other issue 10 minutes after that. I dunno it was like i was being retarded and then shit just hit me in a moment of clarity lol.

Is this for actual game weather or weather buff?

**Byrthnoth** · 2014-05-28 16:25

Both.

On another note, anyone know how to go back to idle set on Motentens SCH gearswap after you swapped to PDT? I can't do it without reloading GS...

Ok, I figured it out...sort of, I got it working just not sure why it got broke.

I checked an old LUA file I saved (habit, I work for Intel and I'm always saving backups).

Here's the section in the Mote-Include that I noticed was different and I changed (line 124, 125, 126, and 127):

-- Subtables within the sets table that we expect to exist, and are annoying to have to
-- define within each individual job file. We can define them here to make sure we don't
-- have to check for existence. The job file should be including this before defining
-- any sets, so any changes it makes will override these anyway.
sets.precast = {}
sets.precast.FC = {}
sets.precast.JA = {}
sets.precast.WS = {}
sets.precast.RangedAttack = {}
sets.precast.RangedAttack.Overkill = {}
sets.midcast = {}
sets.midcast.RangedAttack = {}
sets.midcast.Pet = {}
sets.idle = {}
sets.resting = {}
sets.engaged = {}
sets.defense = {}
sets.buff = {}

These were all changed to .RA instead of .RangedAttack. I changed them back to .RangedAttack and my RNG GS worked just as before. I also added my Overkill set back in.

Thank you for your time, I wanted to post in case anyone else was having issue, and to maybe get an explanation as to why it broke.

Appears that it is equipping it, rather fast(er than usual) I might say. I've usually been able to see the gear swap when checking my equipment menu.

Thanks JSH!

yea, for some reason after the last update.. is "faster"...

**Raelia** · 2014-05-28 18:49

Had the same problem with a bro setting up a RNG lua. Kept telling me it wasn't equipping snapshot gear, had him disable all swaps but preshot and it was working fine.

So yes, it's crazy fast. Perhaps too fast?

**Trumpy** · 2014-05-28 19:05

Last night i had put in to use thf af feet for flee adn use my trotters for the duration of it. and i wasnt seein the af get put on. but later with show swaps it most definately was. was hella fast

Keep getting this error, have to unload and reload to stop it, but then it comes back shortly after. Gearswap/Targets.lua:95: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Something known? Thanks

Same issue here, running mote's THF GS file.

it seams to be tied to one of these
player.target.mob_type
player.target.race
player.target.race_id
player.last_subtarget.mob_type
player.last_subtarget.race
player.last_subtarget.race_id
player.subtarget.mob_type
player.subtarget.race
player.subtarget.race_id

It also appears to be happening more often when zoning/whilst things are loading fully.

Is there a way to run a line of code (or multiple) only once when a Lua gets first loaded?

Anything in the get_sets() function is only run once per load.

**Sechs** · 2014-05-29 02:34

Hmm, and I'm able to use an "IF" inside there too, right?
So I could like:

If condition1 or condition2 then
var = X
else
var = Y
end

and it would get run only once, the time it gets loaded up, correct?
This is nice.

Not quite that far yet!

But I've sure come a long way.
And I have to thank you, dlsmd, motenten and everybody else being fantastic teachers in this thread

Anyway, finished my BRD lua and I'm pretty happy but there's one thing that I'd like to improve, the function midcast part for buff songs.
I could only think of 2 different methods to do this, but maybe there's a third that I couldn't think of

Single lines while defining midcast sets, multiple lines into the function midcast (see spoiler1 for example)
Slightly more Dynamic system: single line into function midcast, multiple lines while defining midcast sets (see spoiler2 for example)

Spoiler: show

Now you see what I mean I hope.
Between those two I like 1) more, but again, is there a third solution that puts together the pros of these 2 solutions without any of the cons?
