Gearswap Help Thread 2: this time it makes sense

[Latravant]

i have a question but dont have much to tell. last night my gearswap started getting some kind of error, so this morning i looked it up and it happened to someone else and they fixed it by reinstalling windower. i reinstalled it this morning and now my gearswap isnt working at all, i have all the mote files and my lua files but gearswap isnt doing anything.

[Latravant]

figured it out, even though i uninstalled windower 4 somehow the game saved my old gearswap file so i mistook it for the new gearswap file, which was empty

[Spicyryan]

EDIT: Figured it out after awhile. I am pretty dumb.

can anybody tell me why the "Defense mode PDT" doesnt seem to trigger or do anything? I can get it to cycle between defense mode pdt and defense mode normal but it never swaps out of my normal tp set

the mdt defense mode, acc mode seem to work fine

[Lewyo]

Is there any code out there that i can put into my gearswap lua's that lets me change macro book pages based on what weapon i have in my main hand?

[Sechs]

It's totally doable to do that
The commands are the following:

/macro book X
/macro set X

In place of "X" you need to put the macro book and macro set you want to swap to.
Now as to how to put them into gearswap, you would have to use the command "send_command", like this:

send_command('input /macro book X;input /macro set X')

Need to test it but it should work.
As to how to "detect" your weapon has been changed, first you need to check the slot, and you can do it like this:

if player.equipment.main == "equipment name" then ...

Concatenate multiple "ifs" like this, and put different numbers in different sendcommand lines.
I'll make an example right here

if player.equipment.main == "Lionheart" then
send_command('input /macro book 3;input /macro set 1')
elseif player.equipment.main == "Epeolatry" then
send_command('input /macro book 4;input /macro set 1')
elseif player.equipment.main == "Aettir" then
send_command('input /macro book 5;input /macro set 1')
end


The only question left open at this point is where to put this concatenated series of checks.
It kinda depends on how you want it to work.
Are we talking about a situation where you press a macro to change your weapon? Then it's gonna be super easy. But in this scenario you wouldn't even need gearswap to begin with, so I bet you just want to swap your weapon manually whenever you feel like it, and you want Gearswap to detect that and swap your macrobook/set accordingly.
This is gonna be more complicated, it's kinda beyond my knowledge.
Gearswap mostly functions with an "events" logic. If a certain event happen, then you can do a series of checks/action. Examples of events are: player starts an action, player is midcasting an action, the action completes, the player engages/disengages, the player receives/loses a buff or debuff, and so on.
I don't think there is an event for "the player's main weapon equipment is swapped", so I'm not sure how you could solve that.

Maybe someone else will post some ideas.
dlsmd I summon you!!! xD xD

Heya, I'm using the arislan DNC and related files lua, I got an issue with presto/steps. Whenever I try to do a step the lua will try to use presto under certain conditions but I keep getting a line 366 nil value issue. Could anyone have a look at the lua? I returned recently and can't remember shit about this, been a week trying to fix it and couldn't find a solution yet.

https://pastebin.com/LGNuZZSm

it seems to happen even with arislan defaults.

my macro is just /ja box step or whatever step I'm using. If I don't spam it, it seems to work but I seem to be tapping it slightly twice and it complains...-

edit: actually the error is in gearswap/flow line 366? no idea wtf is going wrong

Last I played was in 2015, and I just reactivated my account.

Will my stuff still work? Updated windower today.

I have to help a friend with his Lua.
I need to execute some lines of codes in his precast, AFTER his "default" routines of checks/equips.
Only problem is: I can't find it o.O
His Lua is probably based on one of those Mote's stuff, which I have no bloody clue how they work.

Posting it here hoping dlsmd or someone else can help me out.

https://pastebin.com/ahMtuG4x


In my luas, which I make myself from zero, I follow a pretty simple logic.
Get sets where I define my various sets
Function Precast
Function Midcast
Function Aftercast

That's it. Of course I have a plethora of other custom things about status change, buff change, self commands, special functions etc, but the core is exactely like I described above.
In this friend's Lua... I dunno, I see the sets, I just don't see where they get equipped.
The closest thing I found is Function Job_Precast, it's similar in logic to my Precast, but I don't see the line where the sets get equipped D:

Please someone help me out

you never will find the code you are looking for because its part of motes include not your friends code

[Byrthnoth]

Mote:'s includes were fine until they went unsupported and since have been a plague.

[Sechs]

Do you know in which part of Mote's lua is that part I'm talking of?
How would you go in my situation if you wanted to process some lines after the stuff has been equipped by mote's processes?

[dlsmd]

not without you telling us exactly what you want to do

[Sechs]

The lines I wrote for my friend work and I already tested them, problem is that I can't place those lines in the "right place". Atm those custom lines I wrote get executed before Mote's library do their stuff. It has to be the other way around, my lines need to be executed after Mote's stuff already decided what to equip.
It's in the precast for a Weaponskill btw.

Let's take for example the logic of my own Luas.

In my precast I check for various things and equip stuff accordingly. It checks the spell/action being executed and according to the spell name/JA name, the category or several other things, the right set gets equipped.
A simple example of one of my precasts here:

function precast(spell,action)
	if spell.english:endswith('Maneuver') then
		equip(sets.precast.Maneuver)
	elseif sets.precast[spell.english] then
		equip(sets.precast[spell.english])
	elseif sets.precast[spell.type] then
		equip(sets.precast[spell.type])
	elseif sets.precast[spell.action_type] then
		equip(sets.precast[spell.action_type])
	elseif sets.precast.WS[spell.english] then
		equip(sets.precast.WS[spell.english][WeaponskillMode])
	end
	if (spell.english == "Stringing Pummel" or spell.english == "Victory Smite" or spell.english == "Raging Fists" or spell.english == "Howling fist" or spell.english == "Tornado Kick") and player.tp > TPthreshold then
		equip(sets.precast.WS.maxTP[WeaponskillMode])
	end
end

I pretty much follow this logic on all of my Luas, of course on some jobs things are more complex.
But what I wanted to show is that there's two clear parts in that Precast.
The first part is the big, the "core" part, that handles pretty much every "normal" situation.
The last part is a small, separate "If", and I use it to handle a specific exception.


I want to do exactely the same for my friend. The lines I wrote for him work, I already tested them, but I can't make them being executed AFTER mote's stuff equip the gear.
The result I'm currently getting is that my lines get executed, gear gets equipped, then that gear gets "overwritten" by Mote's library equipping their stuff.
It has to be the other way around ><

[Subadai]

The docs talk about setting eventArgs.handled = true if you want to stop any default processing. Try messing with that.

[Sechs]

Solved it by using job_post_precast as (briefly) described in those documentations.
Thanks Subadai!

Hi guys. I'm using Funk's brd lua which is great, but I have a question. His lua has an ability to auto pianissimo if you target another player with a song, which I love, but it only seems to work with <t> and not <st>. Anyone know if there's an easy way to fix it so it accepts <st>? Thanks in advance!

Hi guys. I'm using Funk's brd lua which is great, but I have a question. His lua has an ability to auto pianissimo if you target another player with a song, which I love, but it only seems to work with <t> and not <st>. Anyone know if there's an easy way to fix it so it accepts <st>? Thanks in advance!

it might be that <st> does not get sent to pretarget
however i am not sure

[Ksandra]

it might be that <st> does not get sent to pretarget
however i am not sure

yeah idk

My husband has a lua that's this massive file with all jobs in it. The bard section has a pianissimo part and it works with <st>, but just pasting it into mine doesn't make it work since the coding is set up differently.

I'll bother him later for him to show what his says to see what I would need to do f anything.

thats why i am not sure but that is the only thing i could say it is because your code

function pretarget(spell)
    if spell.type == 'BardSong' and spell.target.type and spell.target.type == 'PLAYER' and not buffactive.pianissimo and not spell.target.charmed and not pianissimo_cycle then
        cancel_spell()
        pianissimo_cycle = true
        send_command('input /ja "Pianissimo" <me>;wait 1.5;input /ma "'..spell.name..'" '..spell.target.name..';')
        return
    end
    if spell.name ~= 'Pianissimo' then
        pianissimo_cycle = false
    end
end

does not check for spell.target.raw before uses pianissimo
