Not sure what the include rule is, but what's shown looks fine.

[Alistrianna]

The include rules just toggles various WS variables based on buffs, area, etc and only helps define the precast set used from what I saw.

    <include name="DefineWeaponskillSet">
        <if Spell="$MagicalWS">
            <var cmd="set WSSet WS-%Spell" />
        </if>
        <else>
            <if advanced='"$Use-WSMode" != "None"'>
                <var cmd="set TmpWSMode $Use-WSMode" />
            </if>
            <else>
                <if advanced='"$WSMode"="default"'>
                    <if advanced='"$OffenseMode"="Acc" OR "$OffenseMode"="MaxAcc"' NotSpell="$SingleHitWS">
                        <var cmd="set TmpWSMode Acc" />
                    </if>
                    <elseif Spell="$CritWS" BuffActive="Blood Rage">
                        <var cmd="set TmpWSMode Crit" />
                    </elseif>
                    <elseif mode="OR" advanced='"$OffenseMode"="Str" OR "$OffenseMode"="Crit"'
                      BuffActive="Berserk|Last Resort|Attack Boost|Building Flourish|Chaos Roll">
                        <var cmd="set TmpWSMode Mod" />
                    </elseif>
                    <elseif BuffActive="Voidwatcher">
                        <var cmd="set TmpWSMode Att" />
                    </elseif>
                    <else>
                        <var cmd="set TmpWSMode Normal" />
                    </else>
                </if>
                <else>
                    <var cmd="set TmpWSMode $WSMode" />
                </else>
            </else>

            <var cmd="set WSSet WS-%Spell-$TmpWSMode" />
        </else>

        <if advanced='$Debug=1'>
            <addtochat>WS Set: $WSSet</addtochat>
        </if>
    </include>

[Yugl]

Either another precast rule was activating or idk. Never heard of an ABA problem outside of precast to midcast, so I doubt that's the issue.

[Selassie]

Can I get some help w/ this please? Getting error on the 4th line. Thanks in advance.

<if Spell ="Third Eye">
<if notbuffactive = "Seigan">
<castdelay Delay = "1.5" />
<action type="command" when="Precast">/ja "Seigan" <me></action>
</if>
</if>

[Radec]

"command" lines enter to windower console, not directly to game - also < > are meaningful in xml, so using <me> confuses it. Replace with &lt;me&gt;

<action type="command" when="Precast">input /ja "Seigan" &lt;me&gt;</action>

Should do it.

As an additional note, <action ..... ></action is mostly depreciated.

<command when="precast">input /ja "Seigan" &lt;me&gt;</command>

would be more correct (though either will work for now)

[blasphemy]

nm I fixed it guys.

[Tivace]

I'm getting an error anytime I load any of Motenten's XML's.

SpellCast:XML parsing Error: line 0 - Failed to open file

[Yugl]

You're probably missing an include file. Make sure you download both of the include files (You can check which you need by searching for <xi:include

href="Blah" will show the name of the include you need.

One file was named wrong fixed that issue.

I'm trying to add weapon skill sets for Mercy Stoke and Rudra's Storm but cant seem to get them to work they seem to use <set name="WS-*">

[Yugl]

That is likely due to the placement of the set within the list. That set has to be after every other WS set.

I put those two sets at the end and still did not work

xml is here pastebin.com/crNsJQDC

[Yugl]

The WS-* is supposed to be AFTER both of those sets, not before them.

Relic WS
Rudras
WS-*

If that doesn't work, you may need to do

WS-Relic WS Name-*
WS-Rudras-*

[Tivace]

The WS-* is supposed to be AFTER both of those sets, not before them.

Relic WS
Rudras
WS-*

If that doesn't work, you may need to do

WS-Relic WS Name-*
WS-Rudras-*

adding the -* after the WS name did the trick

Thanks for your help

[fantasticdan]

Is there a way to make a simple rule that prevents certain pieces of gear from ever being unequipped by spellcast? For things like reraise earring/gorget, warp cudgel, etc.

[Nightfyre]

<if EquipLear="Reraise Earring"><equip when="all"><lear lock="true" /></equip></if>
		<if EquipRear="Reraise Earring"><equip when="all"><rear lock="true" /></equip></if>
		<if EquipFeet="Powder Boots"><equip when="all"><feet lock="true" /></equip></if>

etc

[fantasticdan]

That works perfect, thanks.

[Phix]

Im not too great with spellcast (learning) im looking for legion specific stuff for war agg down sets etc
I've seen Yugls wich covers alot

[Yugl]

Are you looking to make an XML or use an existing one?

[Phix]

Are you looking to make an XML or use an existing one?

I have an exsisting one but after looking at your War.xml im potentially looking at using that as it is more detailed
im trying to understand the use mainly within legion acc sets etc ( like setting of VW status ) as that is our main event that we do as an ls

[Yugl]

You typically do that via variables

<var name="TP_Mode">DefaultModeHere</var>
<var name="Area">DefaultArea</var>

For your sets, you then start using
Area-TP-TP_Mode (ex: Legion-TP-ACC)

For your rules, you manipulate the variables at the beginning
<if area="*legion">
<var cmd="set Area Legion" />
</if>

etc.
