Not directly, but you can set a variable to simulate it.

Code:

<var name="manawallready">1</var>
.
.
.
<if spell="Mana Wall">
<if advanced='"$manawallready"="0"'>
<cancelspell/>
</if>
<command when="aftercast">sc v s manawallready 0; pause 600; sc v s manawallready 1</command>
</if>

Written top of my head so not giving 100% it'll work like that, but that's the general idea. (If you wanted to do it for every spell, you could replace the static "wait 600" with "wait %recast", and manawallready with %spell_ready)

Failings: If you try to do manawall with recast ready but are stunned/pet/amnesia etc it'll start the timer. You can reset it manually (sc v s manawallready 1) but it'll reset to 1 again 10mins after initial activation. If you get restored/random deal, same issue, but likely a larger period where the timer will be wrong. If you're slowed/addled spell recasts will be off.

Personally I just watch recast rather than trying to do it automatically, but really depends on your usage.

If you check out the posts by IneptVagrant on the windower spellcast forum he might have found another solution.

Was trying to cannibalize a few WAR SC to redo mine, but I can't get my variables to swap out.

Code:

<!-- BERSERK - RESTRAINT - BLOOD RAGE -->
	<if buffactive="Restraint">
	    <action type="command">
		sc var set TPHands Ravager's Mufflers +2
	    </action>
	</if>
	<else>
	    <action type="command">
		sc var set TPHands Dusk Gloves
             </action>
	</else>
		
	<if buffactive="Berserk">
	     <action type="command">
		sc var set WSLegs Teutates Subligar
		sc var set WSBody Zahak's Mail
	     </action>
	</if>
	<else>
	     <action type="command">
		sc var set WSLegs Ravager's Cuisses +2
		sc var set WSBody Grim Cuirass
             </action>
	</else>
		
	<if buffactive="Blood Rage">
	     <action type="command">
		sc var set WSFeet Hecatomb Leggings;
		sc var set WSBack Cavaros Mantle
	     </action>
	</if>
	<else>
	     <action type="command">
		sc var set WSFeet Ravager's Calligae +2;
		sc var set WSBack Atheling Mantle
	     </action>
	</else>

**Radec** · 2011-04-11 17:10

Code:

<command>
sc var set varname "Item name goes in quotes";
sc var set varname2 "you probably need a semicolon and not just a line break"
</command>

Specifically:

Code:

	<if buffactive="Berserk">
	     <command>
		sc var set WSLegs "Teutates Subligar";
		sc var set WSBody "Zahak's Mail"
	     </command>
	</if>
	<else>
	     <command>
		sc var set WSLegs "Ravager's Cuisses +2";
		sc var set WSBody "Grim Cuirass"
             </command>
	</else>

Berserk and Blood rage work now, thanks. My restraint macro however isn't working however, any ideas?

Eh had a retard moment and didn't think that, that question really can't be answered without the context of the rest of the SC.

Which restraint macro? The one that equips it or the variable?

**Radec** · 2011-04-11 18:23

I see you swapped from full names (Ravager's Mufflers +2) to shortened (Rvg. Mufflers +2) in some spots, but not all. Did some have a problem with either form? (and if so, check that)

Things I'm looking forward to test-server for, so I can create characters to test things like this on jobs I don't have!

**TacoTaru** · 2011-04-11 18:36

Checked all other uses of it, and the only issue I'm having is it won't swap to $TPHands.

This is the part that won't work:

Code:

<!-- BERSERK - RESTRAINT - BLOOD RAGE -->
	<if buffactive="Restraint">
	    <action type="command">
		sc var set TPHands "Rvg. Mufflers +2";
	    </action>
	</if>
	<else>
	    <action type="command">
		sc var set TPHands "Dusk Gloves";
             </action>
	</else>

**Radec** · 2011-04-11 18:57

Worked for me (with cor roll instead of restraint).

<cor roll>
TPHands set to dusk
<double up>
TPHands set to +2
<bust>
TPHands still +2
<chaos roll>
TPHands set to dusk

Edit: pastebin or repost your current one, possibly we changed it different ways adding the ""'s

**TacoTaru** · 2011-04-11 19:47

http://pastebin.com/iXhnV2YZ

**Yugl** · 2011-04-11 20:49

A temporary fix is

<if status="engaged" BuffActive="Restraint" notSkill="weaponskill">
<equip when="engaged|aftercast">
<hands lock="yes">Rvg. Mufflers +2</hands>
</equip>
</if>

**TacoTaru** · 2011-04-11 21:51

This fucking restraint rule is going to make my head explode.

Getting an error on the line:
<hands lock="yes">Rvg. Mufflers +2</hands>
saying it's erroring reading attributes, but I'm not seeing anything wrong here.

**Radec** · 2011-04-11 22:13

pasted from yugl? need a " after aftercast on the line before

Didn't see that until I colorcoded in npp.

**TacoTaru** · 2011-04-11 22:50

Alright, finally got the Restraint thing fixed; thanks again for all the help.

Setting up rules for inside|outside Abyssea now. I tried checking windower's website but it doesn't appear that they have the big chart of rules they used to have up there now, so I'm kind of playing it by ear here, but is this correct?

Code:

<if Area="Abyssea">
<if spell="Raging Rush">
            <if timegt="6.00" timelt="18.00">
                <equip>
                    <lear lock="yes">Triumph Earring</lear>
                </equip>
            </if>
            <equip when="precast" set="RRA" />
            <defaulttarget Target="&lt;t&gt;" />
            <equip when="aftercast" set="TP" />
        </if>
<else>
<if spell="Raging Rush">
            <if timegt="6.00" timelt="18.00">
                <equip>
                    <lear lock="yes">Triumph Earring</lear>
                </equip>
            </if>
            <equip when="precast" set="RR" />
            <defaulttarget Target="&lt;t&gt;" />
            <equip when="aftercast" set="TP" />
        </if>
</else>

Sorry if this is a noob question, I'm still slowly learning SpellCast

**Radec** · 2011-04-11 22:56

Need a </if> before the <else>

<if area="Abyssea*">

<equip when="precast"> <<added the when
<lear lock="yes">Triumph Earring</lear>
</equip>

Edit:

This list of rules?

http://wiki.windower.net/plugins/spellcast/rules
http://wiki.windower.net/plugins/spellcast/variables

**TacoTaru** · 2011-04-11 23:06

Thanks a bunch, guess I'll start working on these abyssea rules. Also, uh yeah that's the lists I was looking for, I missed the wiki link on the windower.net homepage <_<.

As for editing, I've just been using Notepad, is there something else I should be using instead?

**Radec** · 2011-04-11 23:08

http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

Set language to XML, and it'll color-code it, makes errors easier to see.

**Yugl** · 2011-04-11 23:12

And if you're using 2.3+, use this http://windower.net/plugins/spellcastupdatexml.php

That will show missing / using the lineup of the XML. You can then paste it into ++ to see what else is missing.

**Aja** · 2011-04-12 09:20

Looking for a good NIN xml or if anyone can remind of what the rules should look like for using 1 ws set for in Abyssea and another for outside. Thanks!

**Yugl** · 2011-04-12 11:25

<if Area="Abyssea*">
<if Spell="WS1|WS2|WS3">
<equip set="%Spell-Abyssea" />
</if>
</if>

in your gear sets have

<set name="WS1-Abyssea">
<gear>blahblah</gear>
</set>

I can just do an <else> after that for not in abyssea then, or would i need a <if NOT area=whatever> ?
