does that stovepiping work properly? i've never seen one written like that. shouldn't you just have:

<if spell="blah*|etc*">
<action type="equip" when="precast" set="healing1"/>
<action type="equip" when="aftercast" set="healing2"/>
</if>

i've never seen a when= be stovepiped before and i can't really think of why you'd want to.

Stovepiping? (Sorry, coding noob) Is that the | ? If so then yes it does, I don't know why it's like that but all the templates I looked at were set out that way so all of my SC files do too.

Put some addtochat as the first line inside an if/then so you can see the exact flowthrough.

Also put a bar (long strip of equal signs) and current 'spell' out so you have an indicator.

Then do the actions and see where in the logic its flowing.

Been awhile since i did this (and dont my my reference atm) but i think %spell is what you use in the addtochat to display. I could be wrong though.

.....

and yes you can stovepipe when clauses

[mallister]

there's no reason to stovepipe that piece of code, unless i'm missing something. you are switching to healing1 at precast. swapping to it again midcast isn't going to do anything.

[Fiarlia]

A little late of a reply, but people have problems with Convert and Spellcast? wtf?

I've been using this code for years, and have only ever had a problem if I'm super laggy, due to PC and/or network/interwebz problems, not the game itself.

			<if spell="Convert">
				<castdelay delay="0.2" />
				<equip when="precast|midcast|aftercast" set="%Spell" />
				<command>pause 2; input /raw /ma "Cure IV" %PlayerName</command>
				<return />
			</if>

I don't attach Divine Seal to it, since relying on tying DS and Convert is fail. I'll use the two together sometimes, and if I do I simply use DS before I use Convert.

Still having issues with convert set at the moment. Problem is wasted mp.

My vert set is still kinda shitty and no MP merits but I vert into 920~ MP /BLM and cure 4 myself which brings me down to like 82x due to some piece of gear changing. That's not a problem, the problem is that it then 1 second later drops my 82x MP down to my idle set MP at 72x MP no matter what and nothing I've done has been able to fix it.

I want to lock the gear I convert in until I'm down the ~720ish MP through casting for a second cure 4 + gravity or sleep or whatever. Wasting the MP is putting me through a roof (espcially because the 2nd cure 4 comes out of my normal max mp pool wasting MP that would go towards a nuke.)

Here's the relevant parts of my SC. Yes, I know it's a jumbled mess.

I use a windower macro to start convert. Change gear -> convert -> first cure if that changes anything.

Copied this from the other thread, this is where it really belongs ^^;

I've been having some issues with my Bard XML and was hoping someone could help me out a bit. I recently picked up my Millennium Horn, and only have a few coins needed to finish to Gajllarhorn, so I want to iron out the issues ASAP.

This is based on http://www.windower.net/plugins/spel...l/brd/anto_brd but I added a few things based on my own gear and requirements that may have broken it... My staves change to the element of the spell instead of some of them using the Chanter's Staff, and if I change to other jobs (autoloading the next xml) I get strange errors about staves. I want to be able to take advantage of the Fast Cast from Marduk Body as well as the song casting time of Yigit Gomlek, which seem to be working but I am not certain.

This is what I use to force melee sets. I use the Ninjitsu elemental spells cast on "self" to toggle variables (or reset, raise/lower acc, etc etc)

SPELLCAST STUFF REMOVED

So just bind a macro to have /ma "Katon: Ichi" <me> and hit it whenever you want to lock in melee stuff. Its not "perfect" but gets the job done and eliminates accidental locks on the TP based logic.

My full logic has dynamic sets with variables that look at the current main/sub weapons and equip proper items related to it. Like rdm using sword will get fort torque and suppa; dagger would get love and ethereal unless /nin then it would get suppa; etc etc

I use similar logic for other things as well : like an evasion set on thief, spell learning on blu, etc; that when set will override the normal logic. Since I couldn't find a better way to tell spellcast the specific situation I was in.

I use a similar setup to toggle my DNC gear sets:

		<if spell="Breakga">
			<if Advanced='"%Group"="ACC"'>
				<action type="command">sc group HASTE</action>
				<action type="AddToChat">HASTE SETUP</action>
				<action type="command">input /ma Death PLAYERNAME</action>
				<action type="CancelSpell" />
				<action type="Return" />

			</if>
			<elseif Advanced='"%Group"="HASTE"'>
				<action type="command">sc group EVA</action>
				<action type="AddToChat">EVA SETUP</action>
				<action type="command">input /ma Death PLAYERNAME</action>
				<action type="CancelSpell" />
				<action type="Return" />

			</elseif>
			<elseif Advanced='"%Group"="EVA"'>
				<action type="command">sc group ACC</action>
				<action type="AddToChat">ACC SETUP</action>
				<action type="command">input /ma Death PLAYERNAME</action>
				<action type="CancelSpell" />
				<action type="Return" />

			</elseif>
		</if>

		<if spell="Death">
			<action type="equip" set="Main" />
				<if BuffActive="Allied tags">
					<action type="equip">
						<back>Fourth Mantle</back>
					</action>
				</if>

			<action type="CancelSpell" />
		</if>

I have a macro called 'toggle' which basically casts breakga on myself and toggles all my gear. Handy when you get a link and need to quickly switch to evasion gear.

Hi, Im having trouble with aikars blm xml. I put in my gears and stuff but for some reason its not swapping staves when I rest or when I cast spells. Also is there a way to get the countdown to recasting sleepga spells to only show up as /echo? I thought I made it do so but it still shows up in p chat.

You just forgot to change the first /p to /echo in Sleep(ga) 2 rule.

As to why your staves aren't changing, I looked over it and I haven't the slightest, I even copied and loaded it myself just now and the staves switch for me :s

Thanks! I must have looked over that part 4 times and missed it lol. But wtf @ staves? I cant see anything wrong with it is there maybe another windower thing I have to download or something and have running simultaneously?

[Thorny]

If you own NQ ice/wind/water staves and all the rest HQ, fix your priorities. If you don't, that's probably why your staves aren't switching.

If you really wanted to be picky, the standard set should also have Terra's Staff at least. But I assume you just copied Aikar's and hadn't changed it yet.

Is it just not switching, or is the game saying "Unable to changed equipped items" or whatever it says? Idk :s Also, is everything else not switching, or is it just staves?

No I had it originally as terras, but when nothing was changing I thought maybe I messed that up and changed it back and it still didn't work. And I get no error message at all about equipment changing, and yes everything else changes, just not the staves.


And wtf are you talking about thorny?

[Snick]

Ah, I was just saying to nitpick XP But you know better.

I really dunno what to say. What other plugins do you have installed? What Version of Spellcast you using?

The stave variables are set to those 3 NQ and the rest HQ, if your staves don't match then obviously they won't be switched.

Yes . . . I set them that way because those are the staves I have.

[Snick]

Well, Aikar's has all HQ staves in it, so some being NQ suggests he did change it to his own.

Maybe enter "//sc enable" ingame then try again, maybe something is disabling your main slot?

I really am stumped, the only other thing I would try doing is getting Cancel. Aikar's uses cancel, so maybe it's clashing somehow.

Thanks ill try that, what does enable do?

Edit: ok so I just copied over from my smn spellcast to my blm spellcst this:
<config
Debug = "True"
HideErrors = "False"
ShowGearSwaps = "False"
quickcommands = "True"
showspellinfo = "False"/>

and showed swaps and stuff, it says its changing staves for the spells, so why isn't it doing it? Hopefully this gives you some insight on what might be up.

[Snick]

Try PMing Aikar on here or Windower forum, I'm totally out of ideas Sorry, hope it gets working for you!

Your sig is adorable too btw
