Hello~

Sorry i'm new to all this Spellcast, but wanted to see if anyone could tell me how to fix my utsu spellcast to equip my "$DawnorDusk$GrpIdle" or "$DayorNight$GrpEngaged" after utsu has casted:-

<if Spell="Utsusemi*">
<equip when="precast" set="$DayOrNightHaste" />
<var cmd="inc UtsuCount" />
<if spell = "Utsusemi: Ichi" buffactive = "Copy Image*" NotBuffActive = "Silence|Mute|Omerta|Obliviscence">
<if NotBuffActive = "Copy Image (3)|Copy Image (4+)">
<midcastdelay delay = "2.5" />
<cmd when = "midcast">cancel 66</cmd>
<cmd when = "midcast">cancel 444</cmd>
</if>
<else>
<cancelspell />
<return />
</else>

Thankyou for any help ~

After your precast line add:

<equip when="aftercast" status="engaged" set="set or variable name" />
<equip when="aftercast" status="idle" set="set or variable name" />

I think that's what you're asking, but I'm not entirely sure.

hmm, Didn't work, must be an error somewhere

</if>
<equip when="idle" set="$DawnOrDusk$GrpIdle" /> 
<equip when="engaged" set="$DayOrNight$GrpEngaged" /> 
<if Skill="Ninjutsu">
<if Spell="Utsusemi*">
<equip when="precast" set="$DayOrNightHaste" />
<equip when="aftercast" status="engaged" set="$DayOrNight$GrpEngaged" />
<equip when="aftercast" status="idle" set="$DawnOrDusk$GrpIdle" />
<var cmd="inc UtsuCount" />
<if spell = "Utsusemi: Ichi" buffactive = "Copy Image*" NotBuffActive = "Silence|Mute|Omerta|Obliviscence">
<if NotBuffActive = "Copy Image (3)|Copy Image (4+)">
<midcastdelay delay = "2.5" />
<cmd when = "midcast">cancel 66</cmd>
<cmd when = "midcast">cancel 444</cmd>
</if>
<else>
<cancelspell />
<return />
</else>
</if>
</if>

Byrthnoth orginally was the one who assisted me with this. He made a script (in .txt not .xml that actually did loop Defender and Aggressor at their responding recast times for 6 hours. Which helped but to say if I wanted to fully AFK it completely, he wasn't sure how to implement that into it.

Code:

alias def defender;wait 181;



alias y targetnpc;attack;aggressor;wait 2;def;defender;wait 118;aggressor;wait 63;def;wait 57;aggressor;wait 124;def;



alias twohr y;y;y;y;y;y;y;y;



alias sixhr twohr;twohr;twohr;

Where typing //sixhr would activate it

Post the whole script and use [CODE] tags to make the box. The reason I say post the whole script is because off the bat, you're starting with </if> instead of <if>, which is a problem. Also, it's

<equip when="midcast" set="W/eSetYouWantToFinishTheSpellWithHere" />

Aftercast is for AFTER the spell has been cast, not for landing the spell.

I would actually separate the spellcancel from the set uses, so keep what you have if it works (Cancels Ni when using Ichi) and add:

Code:

<!--- Subs: Utsusemi --->
        <if spell="Utsusemi: Ichi">
            <equip when="precast" set="FastCast" />
            <command when="precast">wait 0.5; sc set "$VARUtsusemi"</command>
            <midcastdelay delay="2" />
            <equip when="midcast" set="Haste" />
        </if>
        <elseif spell="Utsusemi: Ni">
            <equip when="precast|midcast" set="Haste" />
        </elseif>

Try that. I separated the gear changes from the cancel rules.

Couple quick questions. First time trying SpellCast and everything.

Do you need to make a XML for each main job that you are on or can you do all jobs all on one XML sheet?

Second is how does this actually work? Upload SpellCast in-game (I downloaded SC and uploaded it in-game before going to bed for a second) and say I have a code for a cureing set. If I cast cure in game (On the job I have it set-up for), it reads it and automatticaly changes in my gear/weapons I set it up to be? Same as WS, etc.?

You can do a single XML file, but it is not recommended.

SC intercepts commands you send and adds additional commands based on the rules you set for those abilities. So no matter how you cast the spell (macro, menu, manually typing in the command, etc), it will always handle your gear swaps if you have rules for it.

Thanks yugl. At work so I'll make the changes an give it a try tonight.

Not only does it auto change your gear, like having a long in game macro, but it has the ability to read in-game data, such as time, weather effects, buffs you have, etc. So that if it's night time, it will automatically equip night bonus gear if it's told to, like ninja af feet when not engaged, or if you certain buffs active to boost your attack, it will use a gear set with more STR, or if those buffs are down it will use more attack

Thanks. Yea I read the whole reading weather, time, etc. Pretty decent stuff. I only asked because I know there's a short delay between doing a WS and actually performing it. So for the game to read the SC, do whatever it's told, and do the action in that short amount of time, is crazy. Wish I did this before I quit a while back

This will make things much more enjoyable coming back to then. I remember having 3 Macros filled just for one WS the old fashion way...

One last question. If it's not recommended for multi. jobs on one XML, then how do you do that? Is Notepad++ different then normal Notepad, as in saving documents by name? Lets say I want to write a XML for every job. How do I save them then to get them to upload on the game? To save each Info, you always need a name to describe the page and for SC to read what you wrote/want, it needs to be under your character name. (That's if I understood and read it write.)

Notepad++ is just a text editor with more bells and whistles.

There is no "uploading". The file is either there in the plugin/spellcast directory or it isn't. Every time you change jobs, it will automatically look for JOB.xml (see docs for a list of acceptable file names) and load it if it is there. If it isn't, it loads the default xml file.

**cdgreg** · 2011-07-29 13:32

In your plugins/spellcast folder you'll have diff files like Cdgreg_BLM.xml, Cdgreg_RDM.xml, Cdgreg_WHM.xml etc. It auto loads when you change jobs ingame.

edit: you mentioned whm I think, I use a really basic one that can probably get you started:

Try that. I separated the gear changes from the cancel rules.

it preventing ichi casts on shadows 3 and 4, as it seems it should be. however it still isnt canceling 1-2 shadows. any other suggestions?

also, its not equiping engaged set when i engage. it will swap the right feet on, since its a special rule with night/day fast shoes, the rest stays on idle set until i make an action, like cast shadows or WS, at which point it will do a status check and equip the engaged set
