Gearswap (help!) - changing to cures instead of waltzes

As the topic states, I'm trying to avoid an overload of too many macros used for specific subjobs and wondering if there's a way to switch from using curing waltzes to whm cures when using whm sub instead of dnc sub?  I'm staring at the mote utility file and think I might know of a way but could use some assistance and how to find the spell IDs.

I don't think it's anything that complicated. Trivially you can simply abort the spell and input a Windower command that starts a new spell, like this:

   if player.sub_job == 'WHM' and spell.english:startswith('Curing Waltz') then
        cancel_spell()

        windower.send_command('input /ma "Cure III" <t>')

        return
    end

if spell.type == 'Waltz' then
    if spell.english == 'Curing Waltz III' then
        cancel_spell()
        send_command('@input /ma "Cure III" '..spell.target.raw)
        return
    elseif spell.english == 'Curing Waltz II' then
        cancel_spell()
        send_command('@input /ma "Cure II" '..spell.target.raw)
        return
    elseif spell.english == 'Curing Waltz' then
        cancel_spell()
        send_command('@input /ma "Cure" '..spell.target.raw)
        return
    end
end
 

if your not using main/sub dnc you need to put this in the filtered_action function

You can leave out the "@" in those commands, as send_command will prepend that itself. You can do this to save some code:

if spell.type == 'Waltz' and spell.english:startswith('Curing') then
    local tier = spell.english:match('Curing Waltz(.*)')
    cancel_spell()
    send_command('input /ma "Cure %s" %s':format(tier, spell.target.raw))
    return
end

Unfortunately I tried all your ideas and all I got was:

/ja "Curing Waltz III" <stpc>
...A command error occurred.
 

No matter where I moved it to and modified it I kept getting the same error above.  I originally tried putting it on line 211 in Mote-Utility.lua and added a line above like so:

elseif player.sub_job == 'WHM' then
    if spell.type == 'Waltz' and spell.english:startswith('Curing') then
        local tier = spell.english:match('Curing Waltz(.*)')
        cancel_spell()
        send_command('input /ma "Cure %s" %s':format(tier, spell.target.raw))
        return
    end

You should never modify Mote's files (unless you really know what you're doing), only your own user files. Did you try putting it in filtered_action?

any action that your char can not do because of main job, sub job, main job lvl, sub job lvl, main weapon type, required buff(i.e. unbridled learning), or if the ability/spell requires an item(i.e. nin spells) gearswap will send it to filtered_action and not to the pretarget/precast/midcast/aftercast sequences

sence motes includes does not do anything with filtered_action just add this to your own gs lua file

function filtered_action(spell)
    if spell.type == 'Waltz' and spell.english:startswith('Curing') then
        local tier = spell.english:match('Curing Waltz(.*)')
        cancel_spell()
        send_command('input /ma "Cure %s" %s':format(tier, spell.target.raw))
        return
    end
end
 

ok I'll give it a try.

Sweet, it worked!  Thank you so much, glad I got that to work.  Saved me having to make multiple macros.
