SAM and Spellcast Issues

**Verve** · 2007-12-02 16:33

Don't know if this is the right place to ask this but finally got a bit of money I can throw around and invest in some extra gear for Macroing in and out, depending on the situation.

Downloaded the Spellcast plugin and had a play around with text however I can't seem to get the gear to change swap in and out. At the moment Only starting small but this is what I have got so far which isn't working.

If you can give any help it will be greatly appreciated and even if you can't see anything wrong but could help by posting your script instead. Also Im guessing the macros to load it are just /ja hasso etc?

Code:

		<action type="equip" when="precast" set="Seigan" />
		<action type="MidcastDelay" Delay="1" />
		<action type="Equip" when="Midcast" Set="Seigan" />

Could be put simply as:

Code:

		<action type="equip" when="precast" set="Seigan" />

You might also want to include a statement such as thus:

Code:

		<rule status="Engaged">
			<action type="equip" when="Precast" set="Standard" />
		</rule>

		<rule CommandPrefix="/ws|/weaponskill">
			<action type="castdelay" delay="1" />
			<action type="equip" when="Precast" Set="WSGear" />
			<action type="midcastdelay" delay="1" />
			<action type="equip" when="midcast" set="TPGear" />
			<action type="command" when="aftercast" delay="6">input /lockon on</action>
		</rule>

You have a lot of redundant code in there, so I rewrote it for you and cleaned it up a bit, check this out.

You don't need a set for seigan unless there is gear to swap into that enhances the effect, so I took that out. And by adding BaseSet="" to the <set.. line you only need to define gear that is different from the set you defined as BaseSet.

Also I added the DefaultAfterCast line to your config which will make you equip your "Standard" set after literally everything you do. Added set names for weaponskill gear and meditate gear which you can fill in as you need to

And I already defined the rules for that so you are good to go. Let me know if you have any more questions, I use spellcast for all my jobs.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<spellcast>
    <config
        HideErrors="false"
        RestingSet="Resting"
        NormalSet="Standard"
        ShowGearSwaps="false"
        Debug="true"
        ShowSpellInfo="false"
        DefaultAfterCast="Standard"
	/>
<sets>
    <group name=“SAM” default=“yes”>
        <set name="Standard">
            <main lock="true">Gold Musketeer's Uchigatana</main>
            <sub lock="true">Mythril grip +1</sub>
            <ranged lock="true">War Bow +1</ranged>
            <ammo>Scorpion Arrow</ammo>
            <head>Walkure mask</head>
            <neck>Chivalrous Chain</neck>
            <lear>Beetle earring +1</lear>
            <rear>Beetle earring +1</rear>
            <body>Haubergeon</body>
            <hands>Ochimusha Kote</hands>
            <lring>Woodman ring</lring>
            <rring>Woodman ring</rring>
            <back>Nomad's Mantle</back>
            <waist>Life Belt</waist>
            <legs>Ryl.Kgt. Breeches</legs>
            <feet>Sarutobi Kyahan</feet>
        </set>
        <set name="Ranged" BaseSet="Standard">
            <head>Empress hairpin</head>
            <neck>Merman's gorget</neck>
        </set>
        <set name="WSGear" BaseSet="Standard" />
        <set name="Meditate" BaseSet="Standard">
            <head>Myochin Kabuto</head>
        </set>
</group>
</sets>
<rules>
    <rule Spell="Meditate">
        <action type="equip" when="PreCast" set="Meditate" />
    </rule>
    <rule Spell="Tachi*">
        <action type="equip" when="precast" set="WSGear" />
    </rule>
    <rule CommandPrefix="/ra|/rangedattack">
        <action type="equip" when="PreCast" set="Ranged" />
    </rule>
</rules>	
</spellcast>

Also I posted my ninja code on the windower spellcast wiki, if you were interested in checking it out just to get some examples of working code in action here is the link: CLICK HERE

Blabj and Swampthing, you have now become my heroes!

**Swampthing** · 2007-12-03 13:02

haha

**Verve** · 2007-12-03 14:11

Thanks for all your help although there was a problem with this section

<group name="SAM" default=“yes”>

All I did was just rewrite it again, and it now all shows up perfectly in XML view, so really happy now!

EDIT

Is there anyway of getting the gear to stick and not go back to the standard gear after the spell has been cast, I tend to have a problem with the hate line (yes I just got Tachi: Yukikaze and like to show off a bit too much?

<set name="DodgeGear" BaseSet="Standard">
<head>Empress hairpin</head>
</set>
<rule Spell="Seigan">
<action type="equip" when="precast" set="DodgeGear" />
</rule>
<rule Spell="Third Eye">
<action type="equip" when="precast" set="DodgeGear" />
</rule>

Would be what I am thinking at the moment. However as soon as the spell is cast it goes back to Standard

**Swampthing** · 2007-12-03 14:24

Great! Glad it's working for you now. I'd be really interested to know what the problem was with that line you quoted

**Verve** · 2007-12-03 14:28

See above post if you would, guess it was just something to do with the " " I'm thinking!

**Swampthing** · 2007-12-03 14:39

Ahh, yeah ir probably was a problem with quotes or something like that XD lolme.

To answer your question about changing back to your standard gear, remove the DefaultAfterCast="Standard" line in the config section, and then down in the rules section you can add code to make it equip your standard set only where you want to, I'll use your seigan rule as an example and you can add that anywhere else you want

<rule Spell="Seigan">
<action type="equip" when="precast" set="DodgeGear" />
<action type="equip" when="aftercast" set="Standard" />
</rule>

I'm sure you probably could have figured that out but I thought I would type it anyways XD The biggest thing was taking out the DefaultAfterCast from the config section.

edit: oh yeah, I know you aren't there yet but no sense not being prepared for the future! Eventually you won't use the same gear for every weaponskill, and the reason that I prefer to use rules like <rule Spell="(specific ws names)"> as opposed to <rule CommandPrefix="/ws|/weaponskill"> as some do is because I don't use the same gear for every weaponskill, an example being different weaponskill gorgets for YGK. So when you get to that level simply remove the star from <rule Spell="Tachi*"> and instead make a set for each ws's gear and a separate rule for each ws.

**Verve** · 2007-12-03 17:41

You should be made a saint!

**Verve** · 2008-02-24 12:50

Sorry new Issue with this as I can't seem to get the WSGear to function at all which is hurting my WS's quite a lot? Can anyone see any problems with it! I have the WS individually macroed so it shouldn't be a menu problem.

Any help would be great again!

Its a plugin for Windower that enables you to change equipment for spells as well as other little things.

Well it appears that the code actually works when its using the menu system, however not when macroed

the WS macros are just

(|/weaponskill|) "(|Tachi: Gekko|)" <t>

Change Gekko for other WS and it doesn't work. Anyone see any faults?

**sleekmotorwurkz** · 2008-02-25 16:09

On the windower forums there is a whole forum where people can ask about scripting issues in spellcast.

probably doesnt support autotrans, just change it to normal

Code:

/ws "Tachi: Gekko" <t>

I had similar issues at first. As it turns out, your when statement needs to be adjusted to the following:

Code:

  <rule CommandPrefix="/ws*|/weaponskill*">
    <action type="equip" when="Prews" set="WSGear" /> 
  </rule>

This works for me. I think that hardcodes a one second delay between your equipment swap and your Weaponskill. I also have an action that sets back to my Standard gear with when="Afterws".

souleman · 2008-02-26 16:58

For WS, just use this:

Code:

<if Type="WeaponSkill" NotTPLT="100">
     <action type="castdelay" delay=".2" />
     <action type="Equip" when="Precast" set="WSGear" />
</if>

Basically, for any "instant" things (ie, WS and JA), use the castdelay line and then the equip Precasst. Also, for ranged, use spell=Ranged.

(notice that if is for spellcast 2.11. If your still using 2.10, then use rule.
