Yes

    <if spell="Cure|Cure II|Cure III|Cure IV">
      <if buffactive="Magic shield">
        <equip when="precast" set="Cure_Rampart"></equip>
        <equip when="midcast" set="Cure_Rampart"></equip>
        <equip when="aftercast" set="tp"></equip>
      </if>
      <else>
        <action type="midcastdelay" delay="1.5"></action>
        <equip when="Midcast" set="Cure">
        </equip>
        <equip when="aftercast" set="tp"></equip>
      </else>
    </if>

Is the </equip> and </action> needed on the end? My xml is 3 years old and I was using XML Notepad up until a few weeks ago. Also how could I add a rule in for cast on self but not when rampart is active?

Edit: I'm going to try this

Code:

    <if spell="Cure|Cure II|Cure III|Cure IV">
      <if buffactive="Magic shield">
        <equip when="precast|midcast" set="Cure_Rampart" />
        <equip when="aftercast" set="tp" />
      </if>
      <else>
        <if targettype="Self">   
         <action type="midcastdelay" delay="1.5" />
         <equip when="Midcast" set="Cure" />
         <equip when="aftercast" set="tp" />
        </if>
        <else>   
         <action type="midcastdelay" delay="1.5" />
         <equip when="Midcast" set="Cure_Me" />
         <equip when="aftercast" set="tp" />
        </else>
      </else>
    </if>

I might not even be close to correct :/

Not bad, but would change to something like:

Code:

    <if spell="Cure*">
      <if buffactive="Magic shield">
        <equip when="precast|midcast" set="Cure_Rampart" />
      </if>
      <else>
        <if spelltargettype="Self">   
         <action type="midcastdelay" delay="1.5" />
         <equip when="Midcast" set="Cure_Me" />
        </if>
        <else>   
         <action type="midcastdelay" delay="1.5" />
         <equip when="Midcast" set="Cure" />
        </else>
      </else>
    <equip when="aftercast" set="tp" />
    </if>

Nice list of fixes Motenten; I'll look into those when I get more free time. Meanwhile, I'll be removing

Code:

        <elseif Type="JobAbility|PetCommand" RecastGT="1">
            <return />
        </elseif>

What's odd is that this never actually worked it seems? Since RecastGT is based on recast timers in the dats and not current recast, it's odd that this didn't block every single JA/PetCommand in my spellcast. Any idea why?

Probably since the Recast value on all abilities in the resources file is 0 (as far as I can see).

**Gustave** · 2011-08-25 13:09

Trying to find it somewhere but when is autoset processed? Engage/ Disengage / Zoning?

Whats the easiest way to add <equip when="Aftercast" set="TP /> while engaged without having to put it in every spell? Right now I have something like this at the bottom of my spellcast.

Code:

    <if spell="autoset">
      <if status="idle">
        <equip when="idle" set="idle" />
      </if>
      <elseif status="engaged">
        <equip when="engaged" set="tp" />
      </elseif>
    </if>
    <if notbuffactive="terror|petrification|stun" />
    <else>
      <action type="equip" when="precast|midcast|aftercast" set="Terror"></action>
    </else>
    <if notbuffactive="Cover" />
    <else>
      <action type="equip" when="precast|midcast|aftercast">
        <Body>Valor Surcoat</Body>
      </action>
    </else>
  </rules>
</spellcast>

Scrapped it. Doesn't Work. I'll try to tinker with again when I get time.

**TacoTaru** · 2011-08-25 13:18

Back with another nublet question. When doing a gear lock and I want to lock it under all conditions can I simply do:

<equip when="all">

or do I have to type out every single instance?

**Radec** · 2011-08-25 14:44

when="All" works

**Gustave** · 2011-08-25 18:47

Is there a quicker way to swap variables than typing out /sc v s name 1 or should I use a dummy spell and <command>?

**Radec** · 2011-08-25 18:51

If you're doing it on a rotation, like 1 key is 3 different kinds of idle set, you can make a rotating macro for them.

Code:

alias setType1 sc v s idletype 1; alias setter setType2;
alias setType2 sc v s idletype 2; alias setter setType3;
alias setType3 sc v s idletype 3; alias setter setType1;
alias setter setType1;
bind f9 setter

Tapping f9 will rotate the variable for you, similar to a trigger spell but w/out a spellcast call.

**Gustave** · 2011-08-25 20:11

Thats what I'm trying to do. Does this need to place in my windows ini?

You're right; I forgot about that very strange issue.

Anyone with any idea? Starting to really bug me. Working on cures about 5% of the time. Very strange and makes no sense...

I use F10 as a key bind for weapon skills and wanted to have spellcast auto bind F10 based on main hand weapon but so far I cant get it to work 100% of the time. This is the code I am using:

Code:

<var name="CurrentWS">null</var>

Code:

		<!-- Bind F10 to Kikoku WS -->
		<if EquipMain="Kikoku" advanced='"$CurrentWS"!="BladeMetsu"'>
			<var cmd="set CurrentWS BladeMetsu" />
			<cmd>bind f10 input /ws "Blade: Metsu" &lt;t&gt;</cmd>
			<addtochat color="121">------------------------------------------------------------ F10 Bind Blade: Metsu</addtochat>
		</if>
		<!-- Bind F10 to Kannagi WS -->
		<elseif EquipMain="Kannagi" advanced='"$CurrentWS"!="BladeHi"'>
			<var cmd="set CurrentWS BladeHi" />
			<cmd>bind f10 input /ws "Blade: Hi" &lt;t&gt;</cmd>
			<addtochat color="121">------------------------------------------------------------ F10 Bind Blade: Hi</addtochat>
		</elseif>
		<!-- Bind F10 to Dagger WS -->
		<elseif EquipMain="Twilight Knife" advanced='"$CurrentWS"!="Evisceration"'>
			<var cmd="set CurrentWS Evisceration" />
			<cmd>bind f10 input /ws "Evisceration" &lt;t&gt;</cmd>
			<addtochat color="121">------------------------------------------------------------ F10 Bind Evisceration</addtochat>
		</elseif>
		<elseif NotEquipMain="Kikoku|Kannagi|Twilight Knife">
		<var cmd="set CurrentWS null" />
		<addtochat color="121">------------------------------------------------------------ F10 Not bound to any WeaponSkills</addtochat>
		</elseif>

Can anyone offer a better way of doing this so it will work for me?
Thank you.

You have MPLT=91, which means you'll only change when you have less than 91 MP.

--changespell evisceration

**BloomingArsenal** · 2011-08-25 22:00

I'm trying to set my WHM spellcast so that it will put up Solace if I don't have either Aflatus on. So far it is like this:

<if NotBuffActive="Afflatus Solace|Afflatus Misery" Advanced="$AutomaticAfflatus=1">
<action Type="Command">wait 1.5;%Spell %SpellTargetRaw;</action>
<action Type="Command">Afflatus Solace</action>
<action Type="CancelSpell"/>
<action Type="Return"/>
</if>

This kind of works, except in the case where Solace timer is done, a problem with monsters that spam dispel or buff absorption. When this situation occurs, the code keeps trying to execute Solace until it's up, making it impossible to cast cures. My question would be, what is the syntax to add in a condition that prevents this from happening?

My initial idea was adding this to the if statement:

advanced='"AflatusSolacerecast"!="notReady"'

This code works for spells that don't have spaces in the name, e.g. Hasso. However "Aflatus Solace" has a space which I'm guessing is the problem. I'm iffy on what recast information is available to spellcast anyways. Advice?

lol thank you, that is simplier than i wanted to do, not sure why that didnt dawn on me, thank you again.

**Yugl** · 2011-08-25 22:15

You can do an automatic timer since it's a JA, but that won't help in situations where you have Solace back via blueboxes.

Code:

  
<!--- Variable: Solace --->
<var name="ChangeSolace">0</var>
      <!--- Abilities: AutoSolace --->
        <if NotBuffActive="*Solace|*Misery" Advanced='("$ChangeSolace" = "0")'>
            <command>wait 1.8;%Spell %SpellTargetRaw;</command>
            <command>Afflatus Solace</command>
            <cancelspell />
            <return />
        </if>
        <if spell="Afflatus Solace">
            <var Cmd="set ChangeSolace 1" />
            <command>wait 60;sc var set ChangeSolace 0</command>
        </if>

Oh Jeez, thank you.

**Gustave** · 2011-08-26 00:25

Edit: Scrapped it in favor of Radec's post above.

Also I thought I read something about added trigger spells but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

**Gustave** · 2011-08-26 09:16

Is this correct?

Code:

alias setType1 sc v s refresh 1; alias rgear setType0;
alias setType0 sc v s refresh 0; alias rgear setType1;
alias rgear setType1;
bind f9 rgear

Code:

  <var name="Refresh">0</var>


<if Advanced='"$Refresh" = "1"'>
     <equip when="Idle|Engaged|Aftercast" set="refresh" />
    </if>

Works Thanks again Radec!
