After thinking about it a little more, you could probably do something like that. So if you are fighting any of those targets, and you do use elemental seal, you would probably want to use your full damage set.

So uh since I can't post on windower forums even though I registered an account, I'll ask here.

For some reason my gear doesn't swap properly for any elemental magic. I'll get staff, body and hands to swap to the proper piece, but I still cast in my HP down gear. I can't find any errors. Using sc2.3 beta from windower forums. Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Question 2

How do you handle teiwaz/varuna's staff in spellcast? Make a separate rule for blizzard1-5/freeze1-2? I want to keep aquilo's as ice element for enfeebles, but want varuna's for nuking.

I'm not entirely sure whats happening, but it appears that you're not specifying when to use your MinusHP set. I would think the problem is around there.

For your second question, you could add additional variables that handle ice/wind/earth/ect. Then make an if statement to handle only enfeebling magic, and have it equip the corresponding HQ staff.

<if skill="elementalmagic">

</if>
</if skill="enfeeblingmagic">
<equip when="midcast" set="enfeeb"/>
<equip when="midcast"><main>$Enfeeb%SpellElementStaff</main></equip>
</if>

Short form, 2 lists of staff vars.

I was wondering if anyone has a RDM spellcast that is fairly up to date with current standards. I like Esvedium's on the windower Forum, but I honestly don't understand how the gear lock stuff works. If i'm on RDM i'm usually in a party with a cor and a bard, occaisonally with g-horn, and so my MP is usually pretty high (all things considering I try to ride my convert, spend as much MP as possible, etc.

But Honestly when I'm trying to get slow2 or para or Bind, and I need it to stick, I find myself alot of times, wishing that my slot's weren't locked because I'll be casting stuff in say a Hierarchy belt or something. I guess I'm doing it wrong, but I don't know how to really incorporate the previously mentioned SC, without gimping my output as a rdm /shrug

Anyone have a war Spellcast!?

I updated my RDM xml to have a variable to use locking or not with just manually changing the variable with //sc var set lock 1 (or 0) to lock gear or not, just never got around to putting that up in my xml posted on windower site.

Add the following in the appropriate areas:

<variables>
	<var name="lock">1</var>
</variables>

Then in the rules area, just below:

<if Skill="*Magic">
	<equip when="precast" set="FastCast" />

Put in the following:

<if advanced='"$Lock" = "1"'>

Then you have to put in a closing </if> tag at the end of the locking rules.

Then, by default you have your gear locking based on the rules/variables, but if you don't want it to lock gear, just type out (or macro) "//sc var set lock 0" and it will stop using the locking rules.

Let me know via PM if you have any questions about this or if it doesn't work. I'm not looking at the xml that I'm currently working with, so it might be off slightly. >_>

[shepardG]

That, is awesome, i'll have to write it in this evening, but i'll pick your brain if it doesn't work ^^

[azagarth]

SO I wake up this morning and NONE of my macros are working, but spellcast is loaded it says. I have not touched or done anything with it for days, so I cannot think of what happened. Did I miss an update this morning? It should be working, but no gear will swap on anything.

[azagarth]

I figured out the problem. Its trying to read the default.xml but I cannot seem to get it to read my made ones no matter what I do. To make matters worse I rebooted to see if it was just a glitch, but now timestamp, statustimer, logger, etc. are all not working. I still have xpwatch and info bar up and running though so I am not sure wtf is going on lol...

[Suljin]

Hey does anyone have a link or anything to a sch spellcast that just covers the basics? Just looking for one that has an idle set, resting, nuking, and curing for the most part. Everything ive found has like groups, and a hundred sets, and requires other plugins to run etc, or auto casts helixes when youve added weather and then auto modus veritus. No auto! lol I just want a basic one that covers all the equip changes and idles for me. Thanks =D

[Shalafi]

Try this one: http://pastebin.com/h681F7KX

Other option is to modify a BLM or WHM one.

Awesome looks great, just edited it, but for some reason it doesn't recognize there being any rules. Says there are 1 group, 10 sets, 0 rules, and 35 vars. Ihaven't changed anything but equipment so?

[Radec]

You didn't close your 10th set likely, one <set> doesn't have a </set> following it.

Edit: Assuming you went
Vars
Sets
Rules

Otherwise it's your 35th var

[Suljin]

Ive gone through and couldn't find anything that wasn't closed. Is there a way I can have the program check it or something? Heres the actual one im using

You can open your XML with firefox/IE and it should point out errors like that.

[Suljin]

Oh there it is! Thanks

And omg thats awesome! Ill have to try that from now on thanks guys!

[Sobie]

I lifted this BLU spellcast from the Windower homepage. It seems to suit what I am looking for (more or less), but for some reason does not work (IE nothing works when I load it). Can someone eye this over and find out why it isn't working? Anything standing out?

I know nothing of programming or spellcast and but a simpleton

Also, if anyone can suggest a better spellcast script, I would be delighted to use that instead

Lastly, this is the default script, not my gear D:

Thanks!

Edit: Hope this is in the right spot >.<
