You are AMAZING! It works, thank you so much!!

Why does this not lock my range?

 <if EquipRange="Yoichinoyumi|Speleogen Bow">
<lock slot="range|ammo" when="All" lock="yes" />
</if>

[grevenilvec75]

<lock slot="range|ammo" is wrong i think.

should be

<equip>
<range lock="t">whatever</range>
<ammo lock="t">whatever</ammo>
</equip>

or something

should be

<equip>
<range lock="t">whatever</range>
<ammo lock="t">whatever</ammo>
</equip>

or something

I don't understand I would just put that somewhere in my spellcast? Cause that's not really a rules that just telling something to equip, I want to lock my range and ammo when I have a bow equipped.

[Yugl]

<if EquipRange="Yoichinoyumi|Speleogen Bow">
<equip>
<range lock="t">whatever</range>
<ammo lock="t">whatever</ammo>
</equip>
</if>

I think that's what he meant.

[Sechs]

Any way to change the speed at which spellcast moves from precast to midcast? Noticing that on my T1, T2 and sometimes even T3 spell nukes a random amount of item slots remain in the precast set instead of the midcast one.

[Esvedium]

<midcastdelay delay="whatever" />

[Sechs]

What is the default value, so that I can set one which is inferior?

[Esvedium]

That I'm not sure of. For quick-casting spells, I've taken to not using a pre-cast set, just to avoid shit like that.

[Sechs]

Was thinking to do that for T1 and T2 spells, but for T3 precast would still have some use... is there really no other way around to address this?

[Yugl]

You can only delay the equipping of midcast. Make sure you don't have the ABA issue when you make your gear sets (ex: Idle hand is the same as midcast hands but not the same as precast hand).

I see.
Still, what is the default delay so I can try to set a higher value, wanna test something for T3s. I suppose the values accepted include decimals? Like: "<midcastdelay delay="1.3" /> ?
And also, would anybody mind letting me see a full line with a midcastdelay command? I need to understand where you have to put it, I was imagining it to be part of the "midcast" line but from Esvedium's post I get it's a separate one that you set for each rule?

For example:

<if something="something">
<equip when="precast" set="precastset" />
<equip when="midcast" set="midcastset" />
</if>

There is no ABA issue in this circumstance I think (I'll doublecheck later), altough I had that issue in other circumstances but I think I addressed it sometime ago (thanks to you! )

Also, would Gearswap fix the issue, in theory?

Yes, it does.

I think the minimum is like 0.5s?

<if spell="Utsusemi: Ichi">
<if mode="OR" HPGT="33" notPetISValid="True">
<equip when="precast" set="Utsusemi-Precast-$VAR-Utsusemi" />
<command when="precast">wait 0.5; sc set "Utsusemi-Midcast-$VAR-Utsusemi"</command>
<midcastdelay delay="2" />
<equip when="midcast" set="Haste" />
</if>
</if>

That's from DRG XML. The way this one works is:

Before you cast: Equip precast
After 0.5s: Equip Utsu Midcast
After 2s: Equip Haste

This was used as a trick to begin utsusemi with fast cast, equip evasion/pdt, and then complete the spell with haste gear.

<--------Type Precast in Precst----------------->

That needs to have a <!-- Type precast for precase --> instead of the current setup. Tested with epona's ring and the line seems to work when you fix the issue mentioned.

Ia there a way to include all elemental spells of a certain tier into a "category"?
For instance Stone, Water, Aero, Fire, Blizzard, Thunder ==> "Tier1", Stone2, Water2, Aero2, Fire2, Blizzard2, Thunder2 ==> "Tier2"

I have a rule for "Elemental Magic" and just like I have an exception to this rule for "*helix" spells I'd like to do the same for T1 and T2 spells. Well I already do that, but I had to input all the names of the spells manually.
I was wondering if maybe there was a cleaner and simpler way to do it.

[Esvedium]

On phone, so no tags, but maybe something like this.

If type=elemental
If spell="* II"
Elseif spell="* III"
Elseif spell="* IV"
Elseiff spell="* V"
Else (to cover tier1 spells)

Note the space between the * and the II/III/IV/V.

[grevenilvec75]

that will also catch ga spells too, so be aware of that.
