I basically copied motenten's pld xml and whenever I engage i get the error "Did not find set Tp-Sword-Normal-Normal in group Outside-Group"

I also get the feeling I need to figure out the triggers better but I have to get rid of the first error before i move on to anything else.

There's a flaw in the XML. When I rewrote some of the offense/defense mode handling, I missed a bit here. The pld has a set for TP-Sword+Shield-Normal-Shield, but not TP-Sword+Shield-Normal-Normal. You can add an extra set, or just expand the name of the -Shield one to "TP-Sword+Shield-Normal-Shield|TP-Sword+Shield-Normal-Normal", and that should fix it.

Sorry if this has been posted 1000 times but i didnt see it in sticky or this thread just skiming through and i rather not go through 20+ pages looking for a simple question...

Can i call sets in macros from spellcast? Example most spellcasts you see have a phy damage set and a magical damage set. Is there any command i can put in a macro to call it to equip those? I know about //reset but that doesnt work in macros.

Should i just stick with autoexec and make a phy damage taken set to put in a macro?

Do indi|geo spells have elements associated? I'm trying to use my standard variables set for elemental staves in my geomancy spell precast set, and it's not working to my knowledge.

<var name="IceFast">Vourukasha I</var>
<var name="WindFast">Vayuvata I</var>
<var name="EarthFast">Vishrava I</var>
<var name="ThunderFast">Apamajas I</var>
<var name="WaterFast">Haoma I</var>
<var name="FireFast">Atar I</var>
<var name="DarkFast">Xsaeta I</var>
<var name="LightFast">Arka I</var>

<set name="FastCast">
<main>$%SpellElementFast</main>
<neck>Orunmila's Torque</neck>
<head>Nares Cap</head>
<body>Anhur Robe</body>
<back>Swith Cape +1</back>
<feet>Chelona Boots +1</feet>
<hands>Repartie Gloves</hands>
<legs>Fea's Slops</legs>
</set>

Do I have to make a rule for specific spells to call on a certain precast set?

//sc set phys
//sc set magic

Thank you grevenilvec

**grevenilvec75** · 2013-04-03 19:58

obviously replace phys and magic with the actual names of your sets.

so if i wanted to swap to idle gear i would type:

//sc set Idle

Hey guys, I'm new to using spellcast. I found an xml that works well with my drg and was able to modify it to my gear sets, except there's a small problem. Whenever I use restoring breath and sometimes spell-triggered healing breaths, wyvern hp+ gear isnt equipped long enough for the effect to take place and breath enhancing gear is swapped out of too soon to take effect either. Is there any way i can add a delay so wyvern hp gear is equipped before restoring breath is used and breath enhancing gear is equipped longer before it switches back to my idle/engage sets?

Code:

 <!-- Auto Sets -->
        <equip When="Engaged" Set="Engaged" />
        <equip When="Idle" Set="Idle" />
        <!--equip When="Resting" Set="Resting" /-->
        <!-- AfterCast Set based on engaged status -->
        <if Status="Engaged">
            <equip When="AfterCast" Set="Engaged" />
        </if>
        <else>
            <equip When="AfterCast" Set="Idle" />
        </else>
        <!-- Weapon Skills: Change gear only When TP >= 100% -->
        <if CommandPrefix="/weaponskill|/ws">
            <castdelay Delay=".4" />
            <equip Set="%Spell" />
            <!-- Equip Wym. Armet +2 after weapon skill -->
            <if Group="Offensive|Multipurpose">
                <midcastdelay Delay=".5" />
                <aftercastdelay Delay="6" />
                <equip When="MidCast" Set="Weapon Skill Mid" />

Is there a way to lock your gear command sequence when you are in the middle of casting a spell? Sometimes I button mash my macros and dont want to accidentally cast things in fast cast set by hitting the macro repeatedly.

**TacoTaru** · 2013-04-05 13:48

Is this how to correctly toggle aftermath gear based on main weapon equip?

Code:

<elseif EquipMain="Amanomurakumo">
				<if mode="OR" Buffactive="Aftermath" Spell="Tachi: Kaiten">
					<var cmd="set Aftermath Aftermath" />
				</if>
				<else>
					<var cmd="set Aftermath BlankSet" />
				</else>
			</elseif>

**Motenten** · 2013-04-05 15:25

That should work, yes.

**grevenilvec75** · 2013-04-05 16:10

If you swap weapons (to proc, for example) you could end up in a situation where your aftermath variable is still set. It's probably not a huge deal though.

                </elseif>

The commandprefix isn't the breath spell. The commandprefix is "/pet" instead. You need an aftercast delay as well when using that.

It does not set melee while engaged with what I wrote, or with you wrote.
