all looks like this, but if I //gc Nicolette_sch SCH
it just sits on the top line and does nothing until i //gc stop.

all current plugins spellcast and windower.

I can't seem to WS consistently (meaning, trigger the WS at all) on my NIN spellcast that I borrowed from Nightfyre. As in, WSing from the menu or with a macro doesn't do anything at all. Sometimes I can get it to trigger by switching targets or by re-engaging, but I do mean inconsistent. When I unload Spellcast everything works as normal. Obviously this puts a hamper on triggering red.

**Yugl** · 2013-02-15 01:41

You have $Distance set to 4, which will prevent WS from 4' or greater. Maybe this is the issue?

**crux** · 2013-02-15 02:04

Thanks, Yugl. Missed the part Nightfyre added in the notes about setting the Distance variable.

ok, so gearcollector doesnt work still, but i tried gearup which does basically the same thing and the only thing that was giving it fits was how the xpointers are coded. I made copies of my spellcast, made the 2nd one called blahblahGEARUP, and removed all the xpointer lines and it collects gear just fine. I just have to rename the xml files each time.

something about xpointer syntax being wrong between gearup and spellcast

Trying to get my Twilight gear to equip @35% HP using this:

<if HPPLT="35">
<equip when="all">
<head lock="yes">Twilight Helm</head>
<body lock="yes">Twilight Mail</body>
</equip>
</if>

It wont trigger at all though. Full xml @ the spoiler tag.

**Yugl** · 2013-02-15 22:32

You need to do an action to make the rule equip gear. Did you do an action after hitting 35% HP?

**fingleburt** · 2013-02-15 23:11

Sorry Yugl forgive my ignorance but what action do you mean? Doesnt the action of my HP being less than 35% trigger the twilight gear to kick in automatically?

**Yugl** · 2013-02-15 23:12

Nope. You need to do an action (Trigger spell, cast a spell, do a JA, etc) to trigger the XML.

Edit: You can use this to do that, but idk the regex needed to do that.

Yugl has helped me before with this Impetus rule I have and it's working fine, but something I've noticed that is bugging the crap out of me that I can't figure out.
With Impetus up, it switches to my Impetus up TP and WS sets I have, but after a mob is dead and I engage the next mob it doesn't put my Impetus TP set on it puts on my regular tp set. It then will put my impetus set on after I WS. So my question is can I add something to this rule to check for impetus buff when I engage, but leave the rest of it alone cause it's working right? You would think that "if status engaged" it's checking the buff then equiping the right set but its not.

Code:

<if status="engaged">
                <if mode="OR" spell="Impetus" Buffactive="Impetus">
                        <equip when="aftercast" set="TP Impetus" />
                </if>
                <else>
                        <equip when="aftercast" set="TP" />
                </else>
</if>
                       
                        <!--Weapon Skills-->
                <if type="WeaponSkill">
                        <castdelay delay="$Delay-JA" />
                        <if buffactive="Impetus" spell="Victory Smite">
                                <equip set="Impetus_WS" />
                        </if>                                          
                        <elseif Spell="Ascetic's Fury|Asuran Fists|Victory Smite|Dragon Kick|Tornado Kick|Retribution|Cataclysm">
                                <equip set="%Spell" />
                        </elseif>
                        <else>
                                <equip set="WS" />
                        </else>
                </if>

Where is your <equip when="engaged"> rule?

**Sithel** · 2013-02-16 00:07

*Edit
I'm so dumb, I always find my mistakes after I post lol

**Nicolette** · 2013-02-16 13:02

ok so moving on, im trying to fix my scholar now which was done originally by IneptVagrant, before level 80 caps were put in so the spellcast doesnt account for everything up to 99. right now im trying to fix the automatic tier reduction he made called schnukerecast . I keep getting Syntax errors though so I must be doing something wrong. I also tried just updating straight to Motensens complicated one but it also returns an error

the Error with his is anytime I cast a spell or switch gears it tells me the group NoneSet is not found in outside...

here's all the pastebins

mote-sch http://pastebin.com/cwfBDPPb
mote-include http://pastebin.com/KAKTTfKe
mote-config-include http://pastebin.com/ph5TjqGD

Ineptvagrants SCH http://pastebin.com/ryUF4VcR
Ineptvagrants schnukerecast http://pastebin.com/y9s2Xvu8

Its probably something simple, and yes I know i'll have to figure out how to add Embrava in as well.

**Kohan** · 2013-02-16 15:31

As I imagine I'm not the first person to experience this, I'm hoping that someone will have an explanation for it.

Why does—or if it doesn't always, why would—SpellCast stop functioning altogether in Salvage?

To be more specific, if most of my gear slots are unavailable, SpellCast will not swap my equipment. Once everything is unlocked, it works again.

**Yugl** · 2013-02-16 15:39

Sounds XML specific. My gear changes upon casting a spell even with restrictions.

**Vyvian** · 2013-02-16 15:40

Did you use any rules to try and block gear swaps if you have pathos status effects (specifically the gear one)? Some people do that so they don't see red lines of spam every time they do anything. Basically just tell it to disable until all of the gear is available. Personally I've never seen this issue myself, and the only 3 things I would think that would prevent it are buffactive=pathos, rules that check if a piece of gear is already equipped and its not, or a rule designed to do something when you're in "*Remnants".

I've seen more complicated spellcasts trigger a "sc disable" and turn everything off, and on each pass, if it detects something in that slot, it sends an "sc enable slot".

**Kohan** · 2013-02-16 16:02

I looked for anything involving Remnants, Pathos, and disable triggers, and found nothing, unless Notepad++ isn't being honest with me.

Here's the SCH XML:

And here's the Include:

**Yugl** · 2013-02-16 16:30

Did you check to see whether the gear is changing instead of using the "Cannot change gear" message? The message will appear, but the gear will equip during Salvage.

The gear is definitely not changing. I don't use BlinkMeNot, and I double- and triple-checked before deciding I'd ask for help. I also went through two separate Salvage runs, and tried various things, like reloading my XML, unloading and reloading SpellCast altogether, and so on. Nothing would make it work.

EDIT: Oh, one more bit of troubleshooting that I did: I equipped totally random crap that would never be put together according to my SpellCast sets, cast a spell, and then looked at my gear. Nothing changed at all.

**Yugl** · 2013-02-16 18:02

Went to Salvage and did tested this:
1. Gear didn't change upon entering
2. Removed the include line "ReturnRules" and gear equipped.
3. Commented out bits of the ReturnRules include and added the ReturnRule line back. Gear equipped.
4. Uncommented the ReturnRules include and kept the ReturnRules line. Gear equipped.
5. Unloaded and reloaded SC, gear equipped.

So for some reason, briefly removing and adding the returnrules back fixed the issue. Would seem like a cache issue if this were a website, but I have heard similar issues with include previously.

Edit: More tests and the check didn't work until I commented this section

Code:

        <!-- 
		<if BuffActive="Sleep|Petrification|Stun|Terror|Charm">
            <return />
        </if>
        -->
