Gearswap Support Thread

Is it possible to Combine two variables like spell.type and spell.skill?

I want combine 'White Magic' and 'Enfeebling Magic' So spells like slow, para, etc equip one set, and the blackmagic enfeebs another. Tried everything I can think of with no luck.

Try spell.target.type == 'SELF'.


It depends on what you mean by 'combine', and how you've designed your sets; but regardless, yes.

One possible problem you might be having, based on what you wrote: spell.type will have 'WhiteMagic', not 'White Magic', while spell.skill will have 'Enfeebling Magic', not 'EnfeeblingMagic'. The space was added to skills, but not to types.

One possible example:

Ah the space, thanks for that. Got it working with

if spell.skill == 'Enfeebling Magic' and spell.type == 'WhiteMagic' then

I tried that, and it actually stopped swapping anything for cures, but that much I remedied. I changed the precast to midcast and it at least swapped into my normal cure set. The self-specific cure set still isn't functional. Here's the revised code, and my two sets:

As an aside, my WHM lua is putting on my aftercast gear before the spell completely casts. By using "showswaps" alongside Battlemod, it switches into the aftercast gear before the spell goes off, leaving me with a net 0% Cure Potency. Obviously this is a problem, being WHM lol. I was wondering if this was a common problem with an easy solution. Thanks!

Sounds like an issue with your overall gearswap file, then. Can't answer based on the snippets provided; please link to a copy of the entire file on pastebin or similar.

No problem, here's the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/K1yBCFpH

It's mostly copied from your WHM file, with primarily only gear tweaks.

According to Byrth you are going to want to put your rules from the precast function into the midcast as well.
The reason why you want the mirroring in the midcast is because there are times when the gearswap is so fast it switches to after cast before the action has reached midcast. However, if you have specific midcast rules for certain actions you do not want to place the correlating precast rules in midcast.

ex1: for WS and JAs that only have precast rules you want to copy and paste their specific rules from the precast function into the midcast function.

ex2: CorsairShot or Quick Draw: In precast you would want a condition to equip Mirke to activate the augment. For Midcast you would want all your MAB/MAcc gear equipped to enhance potency.


Also, when using showswaps if the precast and midcast gear is the same it will not appear in the log. It will just show precast and after cast.

I don't understand what the point of having a fast cast set would be, then. I have my capped cure casting time gear on precast, which does equip, it shows equipping the midcast but it just switches out before the spell goes off. It isn't a precast/midcast problem, it is a midcast/aftercast problem.

With regard to the point of using a fast cast set read the part in bold italics.

But it sounds like your function midcast has an issue. Wouldn't know how to help ya without seeing the code.

Need help
with obi
not changing
http://pastebin.com/T1fSbUwA

Pretty sure things like need to be
The quotes around the word 'Dark' are needed, otherwise it's looking for a variable called Dark, which isn't set, so has a value of nil.

That doesnt work either wtf with these damn obis

My time dependent gear isn't changing by itself anymore. Gearswap also can't detect whether its day or night.

Did something change to where I have to alter my lua? Or is this a bug?

try this one: http://pastebin.com/Q2vMERzz

lines 220, 248 and 255 for examples. Should work.
Use //gs showswaps to verify etc.

-- Fast Cast set
sets.precast.FC =

getting an error says its from this line of code the

sets.precast.Fc =

says expected '}' to close at line 43

please help

Would need to see the code above it, that section looks clean but there could be an issue with a missing closing } above that section.

magicT = "Normal"
enga = 0

smartPLD = true
curepos = true

You're missing a comma after Incantor Stone

ah ty now i had more problems but i fixed the missing commas


sigh now its saying i have a nil value >.<

Make sure every complex set has it's more basic parts defined, much like how you have sets.precast={}, you can't have sets.TP.Sword without sets.TP={}, can't have sets.TP.Sword.High without sets.TP.Sword={}, etc. You can chose to put gear in the more basic sets if you desire, but they at least have to exist.

inf u are amazing u helped me figure it out i didnt have a midcast defined u *** rock

lol now that it loaded i got another error figures!!

GearSwap: Lua error (runtime) gearswap/flow.lua93:

Upload whole file on pastebin :

http://pastebin.com/

and post the link here, I'd need to see how you define that but my guess would be its not a number (where you defined HPtoReraise you did HPtoReraise == 'something' rather than just HPtoReraise = 10) but would be better to just look at the whole thing rather than blind guessing.

http://pastebin.com/XjGQndXk

this is the pastebin im still filling in my sets some are blank

I don't even see HPtoReraise anywhere else besides that rule. Somewhere near the beginning just type HPtoReraise = 50 or whatever number you want it to be.

it is all the way at the top already set to 10

on line 9

ffs says of not to lol
