Gearswap, 'reive' status

Hi, I'm trying to find gearswap coding for when a player is involved in a reive.  I want to put on the reive-specific but I cannot remember what coding is used or how 'reive' status is defined.

Thank you

This should work...

if buffactive['reive mark'] then
    -- equip your gear here
end

ah, thats right... buffactive, lol... couldnt remember that part, but didnt know what the reive was titled as, thank you very much!

most gearswap info can be found in this file Windower4\addons\GearSwap\beta_examples_and_information\Variables.xlsx

--this file can be opened with MS Excel or OpenOffice

and buff names and id's can be found in this file Windower4\res\buffs.lua

-- this file can be read by almost any txt editor

Thanks!  thats extremely helpful!  It's funny how you get soooo in-tune with it when you're writing for months and months and then you get what you want and simply tweak gear selections for a while and forget some of the simple things!

just so you know there are things not listed in the Variables.xlsx file that you can do

like (thay are all highly advanced)

displays (with/with out switches)

packet reading

etc.

if you want to see some of them in action check out my include

This should work...

if buffactive['reive mark'] then
    -- equip your gear here
end

Still super wet behind the ears; which function should this be wrapped in? Can't seem to get this to work. 

it depends oh if you want it to equip gear during precast/midcast or change a setting when your buffs change

it depends oh if you want it to equip gear during precast/midcast or change a setting when your buffs change

Ideally I'd like it to auto equip that piece of gear as soon as that Reive buff pops and keep it equipped until it disappears; I'd like to do this on a global per character level as I have a dbox. I tried multiple things but with how inexperienced I am with lua still, I'm not sure what's wrong.

put this in buff_change

if name == "reive mark" then
    if gain then
        equip(reive gearset)
        disable()--put in the gear slots you want to lock example: "neck","back"
    else
        enable()--put in the gear slots you want to unlock example: "neck","back"
        equip(normal gearset)
    end
end
 

put this in buff_change

 

if name == "reive mark" then
    if gain then
        equip(reive gearset)
        disable()--put in the gear slots you want to lock example: "neck","back"
    else
        enable()--put in the gear slots you want to unlock example: "neck","back"
        equip(normal gearset)
    end
end
 

I'll give that a shot, thanks.

I've been so slow to incorporate this, I'm sorry.  I dont have a function buff_change in my luas.  where would it go?

my function order is:

precast

midcast

aftercast

status_change(new,old)

self_command(command)

Thanks!

It doesn't matter which order functions are defined in... usually... There are some cases where things need to be defined in a certain order, mostly involving closures, but if you don't know what a closure is, then it probably doesn't matter for your situation. Put it wherever you think makes the most sense.
