The macro listed in the comments isn't the convert macro, but I'll assume it's the one you're referring to.

It puts you in your convert gear.
Then it waits 10 seconds.
Then it grabs whatever your maximum mp at that point is and stuffs that value into a variable.
Then it spits out a display of all your spellcast variables and what their values are.

Ok, so you have set the variable. I'm assuming you're using that for some cure macro?

**GoggleHead** · 2011-04-30 19:44

Where are you pulling cure from?

**Yugl** · 2011-04-30 19:49

I was thinking you might intend to use it to say <if MP="$MaxMP"> and lock in convert gear or even do a calc to say $MaxMP-Number for MP.

**GoggleHead** · 2011-04-30 21:14

Well I did use the variable sort of like that, but instead of for cures I did it for everything and staggered the gear so the slots free up gradually as you deplete excess MP. I thought I included that part of it in the snippet I posted.

**Yugl** · 2011-04-30 21:29

That makes a lot more sense looking back now. I didn't recognize the calculations in the advanced portion (Thought they were variables). That seems like a lot of work to keep up with and hopefully you don't forget convert gear!

It's not nearly as complicated to maintain as it was to get set up. I'm pretty pleased with the resulting improvement in my MP efficiency.

I like to use a controller, but when I use spellcast and I try and use /ma "Cure" <stpc>, it always auto-targets me without giving me a sub target. Is there something I need to change in spellcast to allow me to do this?

**Yugl** · 2011-05-01 13:27

Try stpt or stal.

**Zeroth** · 2011-05-01 14:06

Ok, so I guess it's Aikar's xml script that's causing it.
When I switch to RDM I can sub-target with all of those commands, yet when I'm on BLM it always auto-targets myself.

I haven't changed anything with the xml file except for the gear that I use.
Has anyone else come across this?

**Yugl** · 2011-05-01 14:24

Use pastebin.com to upload the xml and then give us the link (remove the . from .com because you cant post links until 10 posts).

Is there a way to setup my THF sc so that he changes into his full TP set as soon as the first hit lands with full TH?

Chop this out and see:

Code:

        <!-- utility: if targetting a monster, but casting a spell that can not be cast on monsters, then cast on self (buffs). -->
        <if SpellTargetType="MONSTER" NotValidTarget="*Enemy*" ValidTarget="*Self*">
            <changetarget target="&lt;me&gt;" />
        </if>
        <if SpellTargetType="NONE" ValidTarget="*Self*">
            <changetarget target="&lt;me&gt;" />
        </if>

Try putting a dash between %SpellElement and Staff. Do this for the rule and the variables.

Code:

<main>$%SpellElement-Staff</main>

Awesome it worked, thanks man

SwaggerlikeKillquick · 2011-05-02 02:32

Just started up FFXI again after a long break would anyone be awesome enough to share a COR xml?

**Zeroth** · 2011-05-02 04:58

Actually, now it won't cure me at all after I took those lines of code out lol.

What does your macro look like for cure?
