Simple assist addon (crash on load)

Hello everyone, I recently came back to FFXI and started playing with the new lua api, mainly gearswap so far.

I'm trying something a bit more spicy, a simple addon with 3 features:

- if main job is BST, SMN or PUP have correct attack command issued to pet when engaging a mob

- when dualboxing, send assist and attack commands to the other character on engage

- again when dualboxing, send follow command when combat is over

I came up with this code, using autocontrol as guideline: http://pastebin.com/eGMUM6mL

but it crashes game when trying to load it, I was hoping that more experienced eyes could spot what I'm doing wrong.

For reference I created assistme and assistme\data directories under addons, windower and ffxi are installed on secondary HDD outside any system path.

Thanks for the help in advance.

This line:

_addon.commands = ('assistme')

should read:

_addon.commands = {'assistme'}

or:

_addon.command = 'assistme'

{} is to declare a table, while () effectively does nothing (it just groups things together).

If you wanna troubleshoot I recommend you join our IRC channel, crashes are much easier to discuss on there. There are a few other things in there that aren't right, but it's kinda bothersome to discuss it on here, so you'd be much better off getting advice on IRC .

Thank you!

That was causing the crash, code still needed quite a bit of hammering, but is working now.

Killing trash in ceizak is much more relaxing now

Arshesney, did you do more work on this addon, does it work well, I am interested in the dual boxing part of this addon.
