Code:

	<if Spell="Update" advanced='"$HB"="HB"'>
<return />
</if>

<if commandprefix="/pet">

	<if spell="Restoring Breath">
	<var cmd="set HB HB" />
<coimmand>wait 3;input /sc var set HB Blank</command>
	<equip lock="true" when="idle|engaged|resting|precast|midcast|aftercast">		
			<neck>Lancer's Torque</neck>
			<head>Wyrm Armet +2</head>
			<legs>Drachen Brais +1</legs>
			<waist>Glassblower's Belt</waist>
			<lear>Lancer's Earring</lear>
			<back>Lancer's Pelerine</back>
			<hands>Ostreger Mitts</hands>
			<body>Wyvern Mail</body>
			<feet>Wyrm Greaves +2</feet>
			</equip>
			<AfterCastDelay Delay="3.5" />
		</if>
</if>

Then like that? I feel like I am missing something with the var?

You wrote "coimmand" and I would make that command line after the equip line, but I doubt that matters. Missing the </equip> line too.

i'm using mote's WHM spellcast, but it doesn't want to equip my owleyes when i'm below the pre-determined MP vairable. I set it to 99, so basically an MP missing should equip the wand and the shield, but it doesn't seem to be working

I have the "curemode" variable set to : Club (since i haven't finished my magian yet)
I have the "stafforclubcuring" set to : Club
OwleyesMPP var: 99

Am i doing something wrong? lol

Please use the Spellcast Help Thread for these sorts of questions. I'll reply there.

Minor notes as I review the xml:

Melee cure sets still have Heka's rather than Nefer.
Town body in Rules section still uses Heka's rather than Nefer.

Set ShowGearSwaps to true, and watch what it's attempting to equip. I don't see anything in the code that appears to be wrong. It should be attempting to equip:

if in town:
Idle-Town-Normal
which is
BasePDT|Refresh|Idle-Field-Normal|{town body}

if not in town:
BasePDT|Refresh|Idle-Field-Normal

Idle-Field-Normal does not define anything in the weapon/sub slot, so Owleyes should get equipped. Unless you've activated your PDT set, in which case that overrides the Owleyes.

If you hit reset (/ma Reset .manual, bound to F12 by default if following my notes suggestions), what does it tell you about your current configuration?

Is there an easy way to handle Twilight Cloak via spellcast? Currently using Motenten's SCH xml and would like to get a rule or trigger in there to allow me to use Impact.

**Yugl** · 2013-02-08 02:12

<if spell="impact">
<castdelay delay="1" />
<equip>
<body>Twilight Cloak</body>
</equip>
</if>

Did i put it in correctly? Because, it's not doing anything with impetus up/down. It's working as it was before.

Thanks.

**Yugl** · 2013-02-08 19:26

The set should be named Impetus, not ImpetusSet.

**GImpers** · 2013-02-08 20:02

Hmmm. I changed that and it still is not working. Is it because of my GearReturn rules? Other than that, I can't figure it out.

**Yugl** · 2013-02-08 20:08

I assumed your geareturn rule would equip gear. Try

Code:

                <if Spell="Impetus">
                        <action type="Command">input /magic "Meteor"</action>
                </if>

Having a little trouble figuring out what keys are free for binding. Any suggestions as to what keys are best for binding trigger spells to?I tried to make pageup and pagedown work but it seems they're a nono since SE has em autobound already.

The second page of this PDF manual contains all of the pre-bound keys: http://dl.square-enix.co.jp/ff11us/u...DDL_MANUAL.pdf

Tried out Mote's brd xml and having some troubles with it, replacing only the gear in the gearsets and using the includes required. The precast gear doesn't appear to swap correctly as songs take longer to cast, being precasted in midcast I think, and while in abyssea, I kept getting the addtochat message "silenced" when I wasn't and couldn't gearswap at all. Also, can I just add a quick rule for Exenterator without messing anything up?

**Motenten** · 2013-02-09 11:02

If it's giving you a 'silenced' message, that sounds like your buffs are messed up, which means you probably need to update your version of Spellcast. 2.45 was broken in the Dec patch.

**|Heretic|** · 2013-02-09 18:43

Answer maybe obvious, but looking for validation.

Lines 34-44 of Motenten's WHM SC has this:

Code:

        <!-- Override basic values -->
        <!-- Merits, Cure Clogs, Heka body -->
        <var name="CureFastCast">50</var>
        <!-- Orison +2 legs -->
        <var name="HealFastCast">12</var>
        <!-- Siegel Sash -->
        <var name="EnhancingFastCast">8</var>
        <!-- Stoichean Medal not used; Orison neck instead -->
        <var name="ElementalFastCast">0</var>
        <!-- Chelona Boots +1 5, Loquacious Earring 2, Prolix Ring 2, Orison neck 5, Incantor Stone 2, Swith Cape 3, Witful Belt 3 -->
        <var name="GeneralFastCast">22</var>

This will overwrite the values I previously entered in the include, yes? From the include (haven't gotten to editing it yet):

Code:

    <include name="FastCastVars">
        <!-- Override these with actual amounts available in gear for the given job.
             Include merits (eg: whm Cure Cast Time), but not Fast Cast traits (eg: rdm). -->
        <var name="CureFastCast">0</var>
        <var name="HealFastCast">0</var>
        <var name="EnhancingFastCast">0</var>
        <var name="ElementalFastCast">0</var>
        <var name="GeneralFastCast">0</var>

I imagine this is how I would get around being able to use the same include for both my WHM and SCH (different amounts of fast cast).

Is there an override in your SCH SC similalar to your WHM SC? If not, I would just have my SCH fastcast amounts in my include and whenever I'm on WHM the job.xml would override it?

**Motenten** · 2013-02-09 19:51

If you redefine a var, such as in the whm xml you posted, it changes the value. Since the <include> line is first, if you redefine the variable after that point, that's what the new variable value is. So yes, default CureFastCast is 0 for all jobs, and 50 for whm. You could make it 15 or whatever in sch, and that would work.

**Obsidian** · 2013-02-09 20:45

Any idea why Spellcast isn't liking this?

Code:

	<if MPLT="300">
		<if advanced="$Stance"="BasicTP">
			<var cmd="set Stance MPLow" />
		</if>
		
		<if advanced="$Idle"="PDT_Idle|MDT_Idle">
			<var cmd="set Idle MPidle" />
		</if>
	</if>

It's giving me an error at that first <if advanced...> saying "error reading attributes."

**Yugl** · 2013-02-09 21:05

Advanced uses apostrophes instead of quotes.

<if advanced='"$Stance"="BasicTP"'> Should work.

**Obsidian** · 2013-02-09 21:10

Aha, that seems to have satisfied it. Thanks, Yugl.
