Random Question Thread XII: Don't Believe Advanced's Lies

[Ellimist]

Why not just use:

<if buffactive="sublimation: activated">
    <equip when="aftercast" set="sub"/>
</if>
<else>
    <equip when="aftercast" set="idle"/>
</else>

Seems simple enough to me...

Using variables and autoexec to do this is rather stupid.

Ok, so I went back to trying to get Sublimation to work with xml without autoexec, and tried the above suggestion. I've been using a blanket idle aftercast tag along with the above text like this:

    <action type="equip" when="Idle|aftercast" set="idle" /> 
	     <action type="equip" when="Resting" set="Resting" />
         
		 <if BuffActive="Sublimation: Activated">
			<equip when="aftercast" set="Sub"/>
		</if>
		<else>
			<equip when="aftercast" set="Idle"/>
		</else>

And it does not work. I am not good enough with understanding spellcast rules to know why this is not working. Is there some redundancy there? Or not enough information? To clarify, it is either doing sublimation gear backwards (wearing sub gear when not sublimating) or is simply reverting to Idle set only.

First off, get rid of <action type=equip, since that doesn't even work.

Is this nested in any others <if>s?

[Ellimist]

No, what you see above is the first part of the rules section, there is nothing else. Should I nest these aftercast rules elsewhere?

Although I'm not sure what you mean about the actiontype, the actiontype=equip has worked for me in the past. It is currently working right now, for instance, in equipping my resting set.

[rog]

What version of spellcast are you using? If <action type=equip works, then you're using an old version, so either update, or change <equip> to <action type=equip, since that won't work.

COR merits? Gonna do 5/5 QD Recast and 5/5 QD Acc but for Group 2 merits was best? Currently have 1 in snake eye and that's it.

So far changing equip to action type=equip has worked... but I could have sworn I updated my Spellcast version. Thanks so much Rog, this seems to have solved it.

1/5 Loaded Deck, 5/5 Snake Eye, 4/5 Fold and never look back.

People with outdated spellcasts asking for help with their xml make me angry.

That's what I assumed, thanks.

Actually I just checked and my Spellcast is up to date. The xml I am using is a template that sets to earlier version rules. I've been back and forth between templates for the past weeks so I must not have realized that I landed on one using an earlier version. Dude, you helped me out, so thanks, but sorry that I made you angry.

Err...what?

[Auspice]

Having problems trying to break my LuShang. I'm using Sliced Cod on the Selbina<->Mhaura ferry. I've been on three boat rides and not a single break yet. Is it really this big of a pain in the ass or am I doing something wrong?

[rog]

Suck more?

[Auspice]

I don't know how I could suck more at trying to fish shit up when my fishing is 58. I keep hooking monsters and calamary, only getting a handful of titans. :/

[rog]

Skill up more, and get the key item for liks. Iirc those should break lu pretty easily.

[Niiro]

Cone calamary bite sliced cod.

Use rotten meat.

It's the only way to single out Ryugu Titans.

[Auspice]

I figured if a fish could break the LuShang it wouldn't matter my skill level, I guess not. Also, I don't have any GP, this is on one of my mules.

[Niiro]

Your skill level doesn't matter, Titans are the only fish on the boat that can break Lu's.

[Auspice]

Alright, so I'll switch to rotten meat. Any trick to getting the rod to break or just cross my fingers and shit? lol

[Niiro]

Can't help you there, I usually make a point to not break my rod when fishing.
