Understand how this works.

* BlankSet is a null set which means the set has no gear.
* When you do TP|Impetus, you take the gear from Impetus and layer that upon your TP set.
ex: If TP set has Hands/Ring1 and Impetus has Ring1, Impetus's Ring1 will override the TP Ring1, but the TP hand will remain the same)
* When you see $TP|$Impetus, spellcast checks to see $TP's value (Changes between TP and Procs), checks for $Impetus's value (Changes between BlankSet and Impetus), and then uses those values to make the set]
(ex: If Impetus if BlankSet, since BlankSet has no gear, no gear will replace TP set's gear)

Thank you guys. worked like a charm. now to figure out how to add bst stuff to my sam xml.. or should i just make a new one?

**Yugl** · 2012-09-23 00:46

Make a new one.

**Odesseiron** · 2012-09-23 01:00

Okay, gonna flat out just say looking through 200+ pages sucks.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good recent WAR spellcast? Reso/Ukko rules in there. Don't need anything super complicated, but the one I have now is just so convoluted, includes so many possible variables for buffs/etc. I don't need it. Looking for something in between.

Thanks!

Google paste in and search ffxi war spellcast. You will see a list there and look for the date to get the recent one.
Hope this helps!

**grevenilvec75** · 2012-09-23 11:12

this was the 2nd one that popped up on pastebin:

http://pastebin.com/WpuUUdXF

it's very basic and all the gear is left blank, but it has restraint/warcry/bloodrage rules/sets already defined.

**Sithel** · 2012-09-23 15:00

This is probably a silly request, but how would I go about making a variable for toggling a few different type of arrows for rng to TP in?

**Yugl** · 2012-09-23 15:26

Variable:
<var name="Arrow">NameOfDefaultArrow</var>

Set:
<ammo>$Arrow</ammo>

Rules:
<if Spell="TriggerSpellHere">
<if advanced='"$Arrow"="DefaultArrow"'>
<var cmd='set Arrow NextArrow" />
</if>
<elseif advanced='"$Arrow"="NextArrow"'>
<var cmd='set Arrow AnotherArrow" />
</elseif>
etc.

**Sithel** · 2012-09-23 17:20

Thanks Yugl, but I can't get it to work. It's toggling through them but not equipping the arrow. I think I'm not naming the set correct.
For the sake of testing I put in some cheap arrows, so if I use 5 different arrows i would need to make a set for each one to put the <ammo>$arrow</ammo> in?

here's what I have for the rule.

Code:

<!-- Arrow Variable-->
			<if Spell="Poison V">
			<if advanced='"$Arrow"="Demon Arrow"'>
				<var cmd="set Arrow Wooden Arrow" />
			</if>
			<elseif advanced='"$Arrow"="Wooden Arrow"'>
				<var cmd="set Arrow Iron Arrow" />
			</elseif>
			<elseif advanced='"$Arrow"="Iron Arrow"'>
				<var cmd="set Arrow Silver Arrow" />
			</elseif>
			<elseif advanced='"$Arrow"="Silver Arrow"'>
				<var cmd="set Arrow Antlion Arrow" />
			</elseif>
			<elseif advanced='"$Arrow"="Antlion Arrow"'>
				<var cmd="set Arrow Demon Arrow" />
			</elseif>
			<addtochat color="135">Ammo Variable: $Arrow</addtochat>			
			</if>

**Yugl** · 2012-09-23 17:37

Your set should only use $Ammo for your TP/Idle set or which set uses them. Check to see if the trigger spell is changing the variable.

**Sithel** · 2012-09-23 18:07

Trying Poison V or Poisonga V and a few others, it says in echo "Ammo Variable: Wooden Arrow" ect. but then says ...A command error occured.

**Yugl** · 2012-09-23 18:16

Forgot <cancelspell />

That needs to go right after <If spell="Poison V">

**Sithel** · 2012-09-23 18:35

Ok I added that and it got rid of the error but I think the spell is not triggering the variable. The echo I made is toggling through it but nothing happens with the arrow change so I removed that echo rule. When doing that i see no echo and the arrows are not changing.

It's a fairly easy rng xml, here's a link to if you could look through it, maybe its just something simple i'm missing.

http://pastebin.com/LrYHwYk1

**Yugl** · 2012-09-23 19:37

Tested the XML and you do change variables. However, you won't change gear until you actually change to the set where you use the $Arrow variable.

**Sithel** · 2012-09-23 19:58

Ok I see, guess I should have tested out in the field rather then just standing in jeuno. I thought soon as i hit the macro for Poison V it would change to that arrow instantly since i had it on idle set. Thanks for the help though, its working as intended.

**Alistrianna** · 2012-09-24 00:46

I have a question about the update that Motenten recently did for his XMLs. The lag created due to some of those rules you mention, could it cause my Impetus rule for Victory Smite to not function properly at times? I was doing Provenance Watcher tonight and not one Smite fired off with the Cyclas +2 equipped, yet I know the rule works because there are plenty of times I've use Smite outside of Provenance and Cyclas +2 would get equipped.

Here is the rule in case this information would help.

Code:

<if BuffActive="Impetus" Spell="Victory Smite">
    <equip when="Precast">
        <body>Tantra Cyclas +2</body>
    </equip>
</if>

**Yugl** · 2012-09-24 08:41

There's no lock and the rule says precast, so there is the possibility that:
- Another rule using midcast occurred due to spamming WS
- Another precast rule is procing after that rule is procing

That said, only the first would explain why that's happening during PW, but neither would explain why the body never equipped.

**Alistrianna** · 2012-09-24 11:19

This is the rules from the entire section if this could help answer.

Code:

        <if type="WeaponSkill">
            <if Spell="Victory Smite" NotEquipMain="Verethragna">
                <changespell Spell="Ascetic's Fury" />
            </if>
            
            <xi:include href="Mote-Rules-Include.xml" xpointer="/includes/include[@name='DefineWeaponskillSet']/*" />
            <equip when="Precast" set="$WSSet" />
			
	    <if BuffActive="Impetus" Spell="Victory Smite">
		<equip when="Precast">
		    <body>Tantra Cyclas +2</body>
		</equip>
	    </if>

            <if BuffActive="Footwork" Spell="Dragon Kick|Tornado Kick">
                <equip when="Precast">
                    <feet>Tantra Gaiters +2</feet>
                </equip>
            </if>
        </if>

If i cant seem to find the problem I will just convert over to the updated version with the separated includes to see if that fixes the problem. I just find it odd that Provenance Watcher was the one time I notice it doesn't want to switch properly.
