How does this look?

Something tells me the <if spell="autoset"> is unnecessary...

Spoiler: show

Try that, I modified what I use for rdm and just changed group rule to buffactive rule, which worked fine on mini-test I did in game

**Xno Kappa** · 2009-12-01 19:30

Thanks, that works. Only thing is it doesn't change the equips if I use DE while engaged. I have to disengage then re-engage to get it to swap. I'm assuming I have to perform some kind of action for SC to recognize the buff is there?

**Siniroth** · 2009-12-01 19:31

throw in //sc Set "DE TP" in your DE macro, or see below

Edit:

Code:

<if Spell="Diabolic Eye">
	<action type="equip" when="aftercast" set="DE TP" />
</if>

**Xno Kappa** · 2009-12-01 19:59

Thanks, that did the trick. One last question. When I use a spell it swaps me back to my normal TP gear after the cast. How do I set it up when I use spells to recognize which set to swap back to afterwards?

**Siniroth** · 2009-12-01 20:23

Sorry for wait, took a random nap, you have it set to equip TP set after casting a spell for everything, change rules to similar to following (can copy past the <if> and <else> bits)

Spoiler: show

**Xno Kappa** · 2009-12-01 21:48

Thanks for everything. It's all working smoothly now.

**BerenTebogo** · 2009-12-03 17:24

Does anyone have any COR rules that put on a steel bullet for WS and revert back to shit bullets for pulling / tping? Would be super helpful :Q

just add steel bullets to the "ammo" on your WS set.

the rest:

Code:

<if CommandPrefix="/ra*">
	<equip when="precast|midcast" set="Ranged" />
	<action type="aftercastdelay" delay="3" />
</if>

just add that to like the first line after your auto sets and you'll be all set. Adjust the aftercast delay accordingly, and make a "ranged" set that includes "TP Bullets".

EDIT: I think you need to delay the WS action a little to allow for the gear change between ammos actually.

EDIT 2:

Code:

<elseif Type="WeaponSkill">
	<if TPGT="99">
		<if TargetDistanceLT="14" notbuffactive="Flash">
			<action type="castdelay" delay="1" />
			<equip when="precast|midcast" set="Weapon Skill" />
		</if>
		<else>
			<action type="AddToChat" color="39">Target is too far away or you have the effect: "Flash".</action>
			<action type="cancelspell"/>
		</else>
	</if>
</elseif>

That should work..

**BerenTebogo** · 2009-12-03 18:12

Great, thanks.

**Ohemgee** · 2009-12-03 20:28

Quick question, idk why but when I try to cure with <stpc> its only curing myself.

I'm using Aikar's WHM file.

**Siniroth** · 2009-12-03 20:34

I'm using Aikar's WHM file.

Code:

		<!--if SpellTarget="&lt;t&gt;" TargetType="MONSTER" NotValidTarget="*Enemy*" ValidTarget="*Self*">
			<action type="changetarget" target="&lt;me&gt;" />
		</if>

Do you have that but without the '!--'? If you're targetting the monster, <stpc> won't change target off monster, so it'll read <t> as the monster, and redirect the spell

Code:

		<if SpellTargetType="MONSTER" NotValidTarget="*Enemy*" ValidTarget="*Self*">
			<action type="changetarget" target="&lt;me&gt;" />
		</if>

That might do it too but SpellTargetType should pick up <stpc>, but assuming you just copy-pastad and changed gear that's only other thing I can see, though if you skimmed over the first code and thought 'that's a good idea' then you may have enabled it

**Ohemgee** · 2009-12-03 20:37

So change:

Code:

</if>
		<!-- utility: if targetting a monster, but casting a spell that can not be cast on monsters, then cast on self (buffs). -->
		<if SpellTargetType="MONSTER" NotValidTarget="*Enemy*" ValidTarget="*Self*">
			<action type="changetarget" target="&lt;me&gt;" />
		</if>	
		<if SpellTargetType="NONE" ValidTarget="*Self*">
			<action type="changetarget" target="&lt;me&gt;" />
		</if>

To the latter? It looks fishy, didn't know what rule it was to change it

**Siniroth** · 2009-12-03 20:40

No, both of my pasted codes are in the xml by default, both may be causing the issue if you naturally default to targetting the monster to watch its HPP value go down (I know I do)

**Ohemgee** · 2009-12-03 20:45

Well I don't exactly default to target the monster, what code should I have (or remove) that will enable this:

/ma cure3 <stpc>

to work without curing myself or without having to target someone and manually macro it, because I use f1-6 or w/e to target people

*edit
Removed all that jazz and it worked

**Esvedium** · 2009-12-04 07:29

I have to get rid of default target stuff in spellcast and just make my macros <stpc>, <stnpc>, or just <t> depending on the spell. Default target is more annoying than anything, IMO.

**Siniroth** · 2009-12-04 18:05

I think one or both of you are mistaking my use of 'default target' as a spellcast thing where I'm meaning tabbing around until your target is the monster because you'd rather watch its HP go down

So much of this it is unreal.

Aikar uses it in his BLM xml and within about 10 seconds of testing it I got pissed of with it and cut the whole section out.

I just right my macros to be <stpt>, <stal> or <me> depending on what they are.

If I really can't afford to be tabing, I make a macro <targetname>, but that's rare.

What's the most effective way to have spellcast involving recast?

Rules section (the part I had problems with is written in comments now to prevent it bugging the hell out of everyday performance).

Code:

<if spell="Mage's Ballad II">
            <if advanced='"$Ballad2"=="Up"'>
                <action when="midcast" type="Var" cmd="set Ballad2 Down" />
                <action when="aftercast" type="command">
                wait 5;
                sc var set Ballad2 Up
                </action>
            </if>    
            <!--<elseif advanced='"$Ballad2"=="Down"'>
                <action type="Changespell" spell="Mage's Ballad" />
                <action when="midcast" type="command">
                sc var set Ballad2 Up
                </action>
            </elseif>-->
            </if>

And variables section:

Code:

<variables>
        <!--This is where you would define custom variables for SpellCast-->
        <var name="MinuetIV">Up</var>
        <var name="MadrigalB">Up</var>
        <var name="Ballad2">Up</var>
        <var name="March2">Up</var>
        <var name="BalladHorn">Yes</var>
    </variables>

Basically what I WANT to specifically have is a setup that lets me cast the higher tier song if available based on recast, and then the second highest one if I need that instead. The above setup works more or less 80% of the time. What will eventually happen is that the variable won't get set back to "UP" for some reason, causing me to randomly use the lower tier spell instead. Is there a setup that would more effectively cover this?

Also, is there a possible spellcast variable or setup that will automatically adjust the settings back to up if I get the spell interrupted? Getting stunned or a little bit of lag can cause my spell to stop and need to reset the whole thing, which is one of the most annoying problems with this setup.

**lolwut** · 2009-12-05 18:52

Did anyone ever find a workaround to the max mp set issue from a few pages ago? I was having the same problem, and wasn't sure if I just missed the fix.
