DC fires after every action, but if you're not using my XML, that's another issue. The custom triggers such as Trigger1 can be used to do what you need I assume.

<if spell="trigger1">
	<if status = "engaged">
		<equip when="precast" set="Engage|$Impetus|$DT" />
	</if>
	<else>
		<equip when="precast|midcast|aftercast" set="Idle|$DT" />
	</else>
</if>

<command when="aftercast|idle|engaged|resting">Trigger1</command>

Thanks for your help. I got it to work using Trigger1. As a follow up, when I wrote it the way you listed there, it created an infinite loop in spellcast (continuously trying to replace gear). It was kind of funny watching my gear swap back to the idle set gear instantly after swapping it manually, but I imagine it isn't good for processor time.

Instead I changed my front end to look like this:

<if notBuffActive="Impetus" advanced='"$Impetus" != "BlankSet"'>
		<var cmd="set Impetus BlankSet" />
	</if>
	
	<if spell="autoset">
		<command when="aftercast|idle|engaged|resting">Trigger1</command>
	</if>
<!-- Autoset section -->
<if spell="trigger1">
	<if status = "engaged">
		<equip when="precast" set="Engage|$Impetus|$DT" />
	</if>
	<else>
		<equip when="precast|midcast|aftercast" set="Idle|$DT" />
	</else>
</if>

Capturing the trigger1 command call inside of the autoset check makes the spellcast run perfect and stops the infinite looping.

For some reason my spellcast has recently(problem actually has been on and off) not equipping MAB midcast of my nukes. No clue what the problem is, tried editing everything multiple times.

Here is the pastebin, and I swear it used to work perfectly back when I used to blm all the time.

actual elemental magic rules are here:

<if Skill="DarkMagic" NotSpell="Stun">
			<action type="equip" when="precast" set="DarkMagic" />
		</if>
		 <elseif Skill="ElementalMagic" NotSpell="Rasp|Drown|Frost|Burn|Choke|Shock">
			<if mode="or" NotBuffActive="Weakness">
				<action type="equip" when="precast" set="Fastcast|Lowhp"/>
				<action type="equip" when="midcast" set="MAB" lock="yes"/>
			</if>
			<elseif mode="or" BuffActive="Weakness">
				<action type="equip" when="precast" set="Standard"/>
				<action type="equip" when="midcast" set="ElementalMagic"/>

			</elseif>

Could have used <if notspell="trigger1"> cmd stuff, but ya.

Try <equip when="midcast" set="MAB" />

Still not working like that. No matter what I only equip precast and aftercast, nvr midcast

[IceSylph]

You need to name the set the same as the ones you see within the Abyssea-R/Outside-R group. So instead of using VW-TP, use <set name="TP-H2H-HASTE"> instead.

Herp derp. Thank you, it works

[Noob]

Is their any way for me to set <if buffactive= to a specific Atma? I'd like to setup spellcast to equip specific pieces of gear only when a specific Atma is set. Is this possible?

[Yugl]

No.

[Noob]

The Atma is Razed Ruins. I'd like to setup Spellcast to equip Hecatomb Subligar +1 and Windbuffet Belt during weapon skill only while that Atma's set. Since you said setting a specific Atma as the trigger isn't possible, I'd like to know if I can use a specific stat gain from the Atma as a trigger instead. Razed Ruins gives a high amount of DEX, so would it be possible for me to set a specific amount of +DEX as the gear swap trigger? I tried <if DEXGT=""> with a value in parenthesis and that didn't work. Is what I want to accomplish currently possible with Spellcast?

[Haborym]

Why not just make a variable to toggle the gear in your WS set--or even a abyssea set for the WS. Its less automated, but afaik it is the only way to do it. I could be wrong, someone else could have better incite.

[Checkmeout]

Kind of new to windower and using spellcast. can someone help me with a simple healing skillup spellcast for SCH/RDM ?

Depends on the XML. If you can use a TP-DEX set, just change to the set using the trigger spells. If none exists, you need to make one, but that will vary by XMLs.

In your spellcast xml, put this rule.

<if spell="cure" spelltarget="your character's name">
<if notbuffactive="refresh">
<changespell spell="refresh" />
</if>
</if>

In game, type the following:
//load autoexec
//ae register time_*.* cure me


Target yourself, go to bed, wake up with healing skillups.

[Checkmeout]

ok thanks for the help.

looking for a working rng xml, would love rules for melee rng (kraken rng reborn!) etc. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[blackmail]

I've been trying to upgrade my Nin spellcast and realized that because I TP in a lot of DW ( koga hakama +2, suppa, patentia), when I switch to an RWS weapon (GKT, Staff, and polearm), I'm not getting tp as quickly as I'd like.

I use the following:

<if status="engaged">
<equip when="aftercast|engaged" set="TP" />
</if>
<else>
<equip when="aftercast|idle" set="$DayorNightPDT" />
</else>



I'm wondering if anyone could lend me insight as to another <elseif> that would provide a check to see if I have a sub weapon equipped. something like

<elseif>
<equipSub="x"

followed by a variable command set or even a straight

<equip set="STPHaste">

Any advice?

[Yugl]

I think EquipSub is "none" when you don't have any. Type %EquipSub and see.
