Spellcast Help Thread (Link your XML using Pastebin.com for help!)

Had to use a friends account to post that link, since you can't post url's here unless you have 10 posts.

Turning that off fixed both items, thanks a lot!

I understand what happened, and fixed the refresh set body instead of just turning it off. You're right though I still don't understand the spectacles, but if it works it works!

Need to make some legion-specific rules. Would <if Area="*Legion"> work for legion zones? Don't want to test this in legion when I don't have time to figure it out.

[Yugl]

Too sleepy to figure it out myself:

What's the autoexec code to load a lightluggage profile when I enter dynamis and unload it when i leave.

AE site is down, but perhaps:

<register silent="true" event="Area_*">ll profile NameOfProfile</register>
<register silent="true" event="Area_Dynamis*">ll profile NameOfDynamisProfile</register>

Need to make some legion-specific rules. Would <if Area="*Legion"> work for legion zones? Don't want to test this in legion when I don't have time to figure it out.

That should work.

        <elseif mode="OR" TimeGT="18.00" TimeLT="6.00">
            <equip set="IdleNight" when="Idle" />
        </elseif>
        <else>
            <equip set="IdleDay" when="Idle" />
        </else>

Add aftercast this part.

when="Idle|aftercast"

[Selassie]

Thanks Yugl! I'll test it out later today, after work.

[Yugl]

Added Imoq's XMLs (Guildwork).

[Selassie]

        <elseif mode="OR" TimeGT="18.00" TimeLT="6.00">
            <equip set="IdleNight" when="Idle" />
        </elseif>
        <else>
            <equip set="IdleDay" when="Idle" />
        </else>

Add aftercast this part.

when="Idle|aftercast"

I added "when="Idle|aftercast"" for both IdleDay and IdleNight. But, now while engaged, I switch to Idle sets after doing JA's/WS's and Utsusemi. Please help. It does switch initially to my TP set upon engaging. Thanks!

[Yugl]

<if status="Idle">
        <elseif mode="OR" TimeGT="18.00" TimeLT="6.00">
            <equip set="IdleNight" when="Idle|aftercast" />
        </elseif>
        <else>
            <equip set="IdleDay" when="Idle|aftercast" />
        </else>
</if>

Try that.

@Selassie:

        <if Status="Engaged">
            <if EquipMain="Kamome|Kannagi|Crimson Blade|Twilight Knife">
                <equip when="Engaged|Aftercast" set="TP"/>
            </if>
            <!-- Abyssea Weaponskill rules -->
            <if Area="Abyssea*">
                <if Spell="Blade: Hi">
                    <equip when="Precast" set="InsideHi" />
                </if>
            </if>
            <!-- Outside Abyssea Weaponskill rules -->
            <else>
                <if Spell="Blade: Hi">
                    <equip when="Precast" set="OutsideHi" />
                </if>
                <if Spell="Blade: Jin">
                    <equip when="Precast" set="Jin" />
                </if>
            </else>
        </if>
        
        ...

        <if EquipMain="Terra's Staff|Honebami|Pitchfork">
            <equip set="TP" when="Engaged|Aftercast" />
        </if>
        <elseif mode="OR" TimeGT="18.00" TimeLT="6.00">
            <equip set="IdleNight" when="Idle" />
        </elseif>
        <else>
            <equip set="IdleDay" when="Idle" />
        </else>

Your Terra's Staff/Honebami/Pitchfork rule should just be part of the original Status="Engaged" check, along with the rest of the weapons; it does the same thing.

The elseif/else trailing part of that set should be enclosed in an Else after the Status="Engaged" check, since those only matter when you're not engaged. Due to that change, you can safely add the |aftercast portion to the when attribute.

Revised:

        <if Status="Engaged">
            <if EquipMain="Kamome|Kannagi|Crimson Blade|Twilight Knife|Terra's Staff|Honebami|Pitchfork">
                <equip when="Engaged|Aftercast" set="TP"/>
            </if>
            <!-- Abyssea Weaponskill rules -->
            <if Area="Abyssea*">
                <if Spell="Blade: Hi">
                    <equip when="Precast" set="InsideHi" />
                </if>
            </if>
            <!-- Outside Abyssea Weaponskill rules -->
            <else>
                <if Spell="Blade: Hi">
                    <equip when="Precast" set="OutsideHi" />
                </if>
                <if Spell="Blade: Jin">
                    <equip when="Precast" set="Jin" />
                </if>
            </else>
        </if>
        <else>
            <if mode="OR" TimeGT="18.00" TimeLT="6.00">
                <equip set="IdleNight" when="Idle|Aftercast" />
            </if>
            <else>
                <equip set="IdleDay" when="Idle|Aftercast" />
            </else>
        </else>

Hello all,

I am having a little trouble understanding how the Alias work. I am looking at Xilk's BST script and I have done what was said in the notes on his bst.xml. But when I say ofr example type //lulush in game it doesn't equip the Jug, but it comes up with an error where it has tried to callbeast.

I don't understand what Im supost to be doing. I have tried looking up help on Alias ect but nothing that explains what I have to do.

Please can someone help explain or point me in the right direction.

Many Thanks
Dueon

Healing breath isn't triggering at 50% HP.

I thought I had everything in order months ago, but I decided to go /WHM for the first time in a while and headed to Dynamis. Surprise! My wyvern only wants to heal me at the normal 33% hp mark. What did I do wrong here?

You aren't wearing your AF hat long enough. This will work no matter how long it takes to cast a spell (prebreath = AF hat, midbreath = relic hat/wyvern hp):

			<var cmd="set BreathDelay %Casttime" />
			<var cmd="inc BreathDelay" />
			
			<equip when="Precast" set="FastCast|PreBreath" />
			<equip when="Midcast" set="MidBreath" />
			<midcastdelay delay="$BreathDelay" />
			<aftercastdelay delay="3.5" />

use alias 1.4 and spellcast 1.5

otherwise you'll have to tweak the wait times on ja's

[dueon]

I am using 1.4 alias with your new 1.5 script. But the thing is im doing the //petnamehere and nothing is happening. I dont know if im suppost to have somthing else set up to use these or not. Like to i need anything extra done to even use Alias?

I havnt touched anything in the coding, just done the steps you have in the notes.

Is there a handy tool to update any old spellcast xml? I've been using 2.24 (Don't judge me) since I didn't want to learn any of the new rules, but now I can't seem to find any older versions, and my now (outdated) xml don't function in 2.4.5! Halp! D:
