I notice that you have this rule:

        <!-- Automatically change group -->
        <if notgroup="$Areat">
        </if>

You could remove that since that does nothing as written.

I also noticed that you removed the rule to change the restraint variable when the buff is active. Look for at to this part:

        <!-- Automatically change variables when buffs wear off -->
        <if notBuffactive="Berserk" advanced='"$Berserk"!="N"'>
            <var cmd="set Berserk N" />
        </if>
		<if notBuffactive="Restraint" advanced='"$Restraint"!="N"'>
            <var cmd="set Restraint N" />
        </if>
		<if notbuffactive="Berserk" Day="$Ukko's_Fury-SC">
			<var cmd="set WSHead Ravager's Mask +2" />
		</if>
		<else>
			<var cmd="set WSHead Mekira-oto +1" />
		</else>

Replace that with

        <!-- Automatically change variables when buffs wear off -->
        <if Buffactive="Berserk">
            <var cmd="set Berserk Berserk" />
        </if>
        <else>
            <var cmd="set Berserk N" />
        </else>
        <if Buffactive="Restraint">
            <var cmd="set Restraint Restraint" />
        </if>
        <else>
            <var cmd="set Restraint" />
        </else>
        <if Buffactive="Mighty Strikes">
            <var cmd="set Mighty_Strikes Mighty_Strikes">
        </if>
        <else>
            <var cmd="set Mighty_Strikes BlankSet">
        </else>
		<if notbuffactive="Berserk" Day="$Ukko's_Fury-SC">
			<var cmd="set WSHead Ravager's Mask +2" />
		</if>
		<else>
			<var cmd="set WSHead Mekira-oto +1" />
		</else>

Will test tomorrow when I get a chance, thanks a lot for the help

The might strikes rule still breaks xml.

The restraint is now fixed but I am spammed with "var: missing additional parameters for set. Type /sc var help for help" every time I perform any action in console

Here is current xml http://pastebin.com/748tmgpg

Try this (Your Mighty Strikes set needs to be named Mighty_Strikes):

I don't know which include you're using so I couldn't test the XML myself.

[Fake]

This is the include im using http://pastebin.com/pN0tDmgK

I will try that now

[Yugl]

Tested and that works for me; if this doesn't work for you, make sure you named the include war-include.xml

[Fake]

Yeah that last change you did sorted everything, thanks!

[Nameless]

what does this line mean?

<castdelay delay="$Delay-JA" />

Also, i have been using aftercastdelay for gear swap after ws, is it necessary?

Thank you.

[grevenilvec75]

aftercastdelay is almost never necessary

[Buffy]

Is there a way to make spellcast use a /ja THEN a spell, without the use of an include or autoexec?

something like"

<if BardSong="Mage's Ballad III">
<if BuffActive="BardSong">
<changespell Spell = "Pianissimo"/>
etc...

Basically I wanna have a simple line where if I use mage's ballad III, I use pianissimo first and then cast, but without using an include or auto-exec.

[Nameless]

aftercastdelay is almost never necessary

How about castdelay for WS.

You may need to adjust the 0.8 depending on the rest of your xml.

[grevenilvec75]

I've never used castdelay or aftercastdelay for any reason in any of my spellcasts.

If you have some crazy complicated thing like yugl or motenten's xmls then you might need it, but I highly doubt it.

[Yugl]

what does this line mean?

<castdelay delay="$Delay-JA" />

Thank you.

The line you see is a delay for any instant action (JA/WS etc). Sometimes equipment doesn't equip properly if you need the equipment on BEFORE using the JA, WS, or Spell. Cast delay delays the action and the variable ($Delay-JA) says by how much. Normally, you use less than a second. Exceptions to this rule include times you need to have an equipment on before even using the ability (Like Angon or Tomahawk). Aftercastdelay shouldn't be needed for WS. Aftercastdelay is good for Pet actions that require the pet to charge a TP move.

[Buffy]

<if spell="Mages Ballad III">
	<command>wait 0.8;%Spell %SpellTargetRaw;</command>
	<command>Pianissimo</command>
	<cancelspell />
	<return />
</if>

Needed the " ' " in mages, but now it just uses Pianissimo over and over, never casts the song. Maybe something that uses a variable, like Yugl's Afflatus Solace code?

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

<if NotBuffActive="Afflatus Solace" Spell="Cure*" Advanced='("$ASolace" = "0")'>
            <command>wait 1.8;%Spell %SpellTargetRaw;</command>
            <command>AfflatusSolace</command>
            <cancelspell />
            <return />
        </if>
        <if spell="Afflatus Solace">
            <var Cmd="set ASolace 1" />
            <command>wait 300;sc var set ASolace 0</command>
        </if>

I've tried using that, replacing Afflatus Solace with Pianissimo at all points, and replacing spell=cure* with Mage's Ballad III, but it never uses the /ja, just sings.

[Yugl]

Remember ASolace needs to be replaced. Not just Afflatus Solace. Also, the recast on Pianissimo is much less than Solace.

[Motenten]

Re: AftercastDelay -- I usually shorten this for JAs and weaponskills since the default is fairly long. Since JAs and weaponskills are 'instant', all the extended delay does is make it more likely for me to TP in weaponskill gear for an extra round. I usually go for 0.5 seconds for those cases. I've also fiddled with it when using ranged attacks (rng, cor), but don't think I've ever used it with spells.

On the Pianissimo thing, I do something similar with sch, but it's a bit more complicated than what you seem to need. All I'll add is to note that you should make sure that whatever flag variable you use is reset to 0 after the <if> block that makes use of it, to make sure you don't get blocked from using the code more than once.

[Radec]

<if spell="Mage's Ballad III" notbuffactive="Pianissmo">
	<command>wait 0.8;%Spell %SpellTargetRaw;</command>
	<command>Pianissimo</command>
	<cancelspell />
	<return />
</if>

whoop, I copied that from a block that had a notbuffactive higher up.

It still might try to use pian twice unless you implement a lastspell variable and check it,

<if spell="Mage's Ballad III" notbuffactive="Pianissimo" advanced='!("%lastspell" = "Pianissimo")'>
	<command>wait 0.8;%Spell %SpellTargetRaw;</command>
	<command>Pianissimo</command>
	<cancelspell />
	<return />
</if>

... very last line ....

<command>sc v s lastspell %Spell</command>

I'm not doing any checking for pian active b/c it's got such a short recast, it's almost always up and adds unnecessary complication.

[Nameless]

Awesome, that answers my question regarding aftercastdelay and castdelay. Thank you.

[Mrp]

I want to do If my MP pourcentage is lower then 50% , then use Lucid Ether II.
I'm not sure how to say the lower 50%;;


<if MPP="50" >
<command >;input /item "Lucid Ether II" &lt;me&gt;</command>
</if>
