From the way the OP is worded, it sounds like there is already a way to trigger an event based off of /lastsynth?
I've been trying to put together a gearswap that can detect a synthesis attempt and equip my crafting gear & cancel HQ attempts if the equip fails to complete, but synthesis does not appear to be a valid trigger using the built-in commands. I've dug thru the wiki and demo files already, and the only conclusion I can reach is that I have to have it look for the /lastsynth packet.. Any advice on how to get this done for a lua newbie? The wiki documentation has no examples/templates on how to actually use packet IDs that I have been able to find..
I'm also interested in trying to create a breakable loop using /lastsynth if that doesn't break the rules here. ^^;; My laptop is getting old and the keyboard is showing signs of wear, so anything that can cut down on keystrokes would be a good thing.
