Gearswap help

Hello!

Is there a way on Gearswap to cancel the swaps if the spell or the ability is in recast? It keeps swapping to my precast sets if I hit the macro and recast in not up.

thank you for the help!

    if windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[60] > 0 then
        cancel_spell()
    end

The 60 in this case is from Windower/res/job_abilities.lua (or just abilities.lua, if you aren't on dev). In this case 60 refers to Steal.

Thank you! I will try it

I had to add a return after cancel_spell() or it will swap me to precast set, but it worked pefectly, thx.

btw is there a way to add multiple abilities in one rule or for spells like Elemental magic? or I have to do rule for every spell?

after further testing it is preventing to other abilities and even magic to fire until the recast on the ability in the code gets to 0.

Try this for a more general case:

if spell.type == 'JobAbility' and windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[spell.recast_id] > 0 then
    cancel_spell()
end

Specifically for Steal:

if spell.english == 'Steal' and windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[60] > 0 then
    cancel_spell()
end

ok got  the abilities working, now Im trying to do it with spells but not working this is the code Im using

if spell.type == 'BlackMagic' and windower.ffxi.get_spell_recasts()[spell.recast_id] > 0 then
cancel_spell()
end

but it still swaps me, whats goin wrong? thank you!

Ah, you need to put "return" after cancel_spell() for all above examples.

even with return its still not working, its swaps me to precast >midcast>aftercast sets, no idea why cause the abilities one is working perfectly. this is the full code

function pretarget(spell)
	if spell.type == 'BlackMagic' and windower.ffxi.get_spell_recasts()[spell.recast_id] > 0 then
    send_command('@input /echo '..spell.english..' not rdy!')
	cancel_spell()
	return
	elseif spell.type == 'JobAbility' and windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[spell.recast_id] > 0 then
    send_command('@input /echo '..spell.english..' not rdy!')
	cancel_spell()
    return
    end
end

I have tried the code in precast function but still not working,

Just noticed that for spells you need to use [spell.id] instead of [spell.recast_id]

Working now!! thx Arcon and Byrth!

It should definitely be "recast_id", if it isn't, it's a bug and we need to fix it.

the spell_recast.lua doesn't have a recast_id thats why it wasn't working

The id in there is the recast_id, that's the point of it. It should still work.

If I use [spell.recast_id] I get the error "attempt to compare number with nil", if I use [spell.id] it works.

thats with spells, for abilities it works ok with [spell.recast_id]

If I use [spell.recast_id] I get the error "attempt to compare number with nil", if I use [spell.id] it works.

the reason your getting this is because weapon-skills and ranged do not have recast ids

this is what i use

function pretarget(spell)
    if spell.name ~= 'Ranged' and spell.type ~= 'WeaponSkill' then
        if spell.action_type == 'Ability' then
            if spell and (windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[spell.recast_id] >= 1) then
                cancel_spell()
                return
            end
        elseif spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
            if spell and (windower.ffxi.get_spell_recasts()[spell.recast_id] >= 1) then
                cancel_spell()
                return
            end
        end
    end
end
function precast(spell)
    if spell.name ~= 'Ranged' and spell.type ~= 'WeaponSkill' then
        if spell.action_type == 'Ability' then
            if spell and (windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()[spell.recast_id] >= 1) then
                cancel_spell()
                return
            end
        elseif spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
            if spell and (windower.ffxi.get_spell_recasts()[spell.recast_id] >= 1) then
                cancel_spell()
                return
            end
        end
    end
end

lua19 attempt to call global 

You probably don't define the update_pet_mode function.

so would i remove it entirely and just use the

Where did you get the file from? Your question cannot be answered as is, because we have no idea what you want. The function definition is corrupt. It looks like a copy/paste mistake.

it was a pup.lua that i moded into a bst but i'm fairly new to writing this type of files,
