Would anyone mind sharing a couple of their full XML's (Both Melee/Mage) so I can rebuild all of my old SCs? Currently all of my existing ones were built during Ver.2.22, and all of the new versions don't support the old code as stuff has changed. I learn faster by reading examples rather than reading documentation. Thanks!

Can anyone help me out with my PLD xml. Var keeps auto changing back to mdt set for some reason.

Basically its setup to change groups based on trigger until I tell it otherwise via a different trigger.

Old account must have been wiped and cant post full url

Code:

<group default="yes" name="Pld|Pdt|Mdt">

My guess is that this group prioritizes MDT as the group? Try moving MDT to the left and see if that affects the XML.

Btw, lines like this:

Code:

<command>sc set PdtIdle</command>

The rule says to set the variable, but they don't say the value to set. So you're saying set PDTIdle to (blank), so no value is set.

Is there a prettier way to do preshot/midshot gear for a ranged attack than this?

Code:

<if commandprefix="/range">
			<castdelay delay="0.3" />
            <equip when="Precast" set="Preshot" /> 
				<aftercastdelay delay="0.5" /> 
            <equip when="Midcast" set="TP-Ranged" /> 
        </if>

**Eldelphia** · 2013-03-09 13:53

Can someone explain to me wth this means?

Code:

[18:48:25] 3836:<0> SPELLCAST::INIT - Version 2.46 
[18:48:25] 5672:<16> SpellCast: Resources Loading
[18:48:25] 5672:<0> Resources: Language detected as 2 - english - Windower: 2

[18:48:25] 5672:<421> SpellCast: Resources Loaded

[18:48:25] 3836:<156> SpellSearch Returned: (no)  : <t> (no) - NotST

I'm getting a 'Critical Error, failed to find Target' message on launch

It seems that way, doesn't do this with my NIN SC, I'll figure that out.

<if spell="Trigger2">
                                <addtochat color="121">----------------- PDT SET EQUIPPED -----------------</addtochat>
                                <command>sc var set Grp Pdt</command>
                                <if status="idle">
                                                <command>sc set PdtIdle</command>
                                </if>
                                <else status="engaged">
                                        <command>sc set PdtEngaged</command>
                                </else>
                                <cancelspell />
                        </if>

sc set setname forces the named set to be equipped. It is close to the var cmd which is why many ppl get confused with it.

What this trigger does is set the var to that group and within that group based on the status equips the proper set.

Combined with:

Code:

<!-- BEGIN Status Set Rules -->
                        <action type="equip" when="idle" set="$GrpIdle" />
                        <action type="equip" when="engaged" set="$GrpEngaged" />
                        <!-- END Status Set Rules -->

Makes it so I manually choose which Group I want until I use a different trigger which changes the Grp Var and the Group set.

I hope that makes things clearer Yugl as I appreciate any help with this.

**Yugl** · 2013-03-09 16:56

Ok, when you say the variable stays MDT, do you mean the variable is set to MDT or that your equipment changes to MDT?

Code:

			<else status="engaged">
				<command>sc set PdtEngaged</command>
			</else>

Use <elseif> there. I'll check the group in a sec, but the placing MDT as the primary group seems to make sense as the issue.

            <equip when="Midcast" set="TP-Ranged" /> 
        </if>

Not sure if it's just me, or the way spellcast processes "precast," but it's much faster to equip your precast gear in the macro itself (i.e. equip everything, and then put /shoot at the end), and then use spellcast to equip midcast gear.

Note that the aftercast delay is set to 5.0 to automatically swap back to my melee/idle gear only if I'm wearing a kraken club (code elsewhere). You can remove those last two lines from each if/else statement if you prefer.

Code:

<if spell="ranged">
   			<if buffactive="Barrage">
        			<equip when="midcast" set="barrage"/>
				<midcastdelay delay="1.0"/>
				<equip when="aftercast" set="barrage"/>
				<aftercastdelay delay="5.0"/>
    			</if>
			<elseif buffactive="Double shot">
				<equip when="midcast" set="double shot"/>
				<midcastdelay delay="1.0"/>
				<equip when="aftercast" set="double shot"/>
				<aftercastdelay delay="5.0"/>
			</elseif>
    			<else>
        			<equip when="midcast" set="TP"/>
				<midcastdelay delay="1.0"/>
				<equip when="aftercast" set="TP"/>
				<aftercastdelay delay="5.0"/>
    			</else>
		</if>

If I am in Pld or Pdt group with their correct variable, it auto changes the variable back to MDT when a idle or engaged status happens and results putting me into MDT gear from the that var change.

Hmm still repeats the same as above.

**Yugl** · 2013-03-10 02:24

When I tested your XML, the variable returned to PLD not MDT group. When your XML is loaded, the group is PLD. When I did addtochat checks, the group=PLD is returning Check3. This means your group is PLD, so any action occurring is triggering this rule:

Code:

		<!-- BEGIN Variable Set Rules -->
		<if group="PDT">
			<!-- Sets Variable for PDT sets -->
			<action type="var" cmd="set Grp PDT" />
			<addtochat>Check1</addtochat>
		</if>
		<elseif group="MDT">
			<!-- Sets Variable for MDT sets -->
			<action type="var" cmd="set Grp MDT" />
			<addtochat>Check2</addtochat>
		</elseif>       
		<else>
			<action type="var" cmd="set Grp PLD" />
			<addtochat>Check3</addtochat>
			<!-- Sets Variable for Normal PLD sets -->
		</else>

Basically, you need to make separate groups. Tbh though, you may as well just use the variable to decide which group you wish to use anyways.

					</equip>
				</if>
			</else>
		</if>

You have the Restraint rule enclosed within <else>, but no conjoining <if> before that. So, the rule never activates I assume.

Okay Thank you

Thx Yugl, I figured I had to separate them and not set a default group since Im deciding that on the fly based on certain situations.

Okay still cant figure it out

I was helping a friend write a warrior xml to his specifications, and its kind of a WIP still, but he ran into a problem I can't figure out. When he uses Restraint, it recognizes restraint enough to process a precast to equip his AF3+2 gloves, but in the same <if> block, I flag a variable for restraint so that I can keep those gloves equipped later, this variable is not getting set.

I even as a test had him use restraint alone from the menu to see if it was a "buttons too fast" issue, and the variable stays at BlankSet.
