Elemental Obi usage in Gearswap

Hi

I've been looking around, and through other people's lua's but I cannot find how to input the usage of the elemental obi's for black mages that does not utilize Mote's include/utility files.  I am not a fan of having these and I want to learn how to do it on my own.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks!

sets.obi = {
    Fire = {waist="Karin Obi"},
    Earth = {waist="Dorin Obi"},
    Water = {waist="Suirin Obi"},
    Wind = {waist="Furin Obi"},
    Ice = {waist="Hyorin Obi"},
    Lightning = {waist="Rairin Obi"},
    Light = {waist="Korin Obi"},
    Dark = {waist="Anrin Obi"},
    }
if spell.element == world.weather_element or spell.element == world.day_element then
    equip(sets.obi[spell.element])
end
 

Thanks!  I have to add the sets.obi = {} too right?

in the order among my other sets, is there a specific place I put it?  Same with the rule, do I put it in the beginning of my elemental magic midcast rules?

you need only what i posted

put

sets.obi = {
    Fire = {waist="Karin Obi"},
    Earth = {waist="Dorin Obi"},
    Water = {waist="Suirin Obi"},
    Wind = {waist="Furin Obi"},
    Ice = {waist="Hyorin Obi"},
    Lightning = {waist="Rairin Obi"},
    Light = {waist="Korin Obi"},
    Dark = {waist="Anrin Obi"},
    }
 

in your get_sets

and the best way to have the rule is like this in midcast

    if spell.action_type == "Magic" then
        if spell.element == world.weather_element or spell.element == world.day_element then
            equip(sets.obi[spell.element])
        end
    end
 

Thank you!  I'm still trying to get my blm gearsets to change appropriately, theres another support forum posted by me, but i'll get this inputted into the lua right away  

Much appreciated!

Hi!  So my blm lua is finally firing on all fronts, but then I remembered I needed to test the obi's.  I only have blizzard and thunder for now so I had to wait, finally got the chance, and saw it didnt work.  I think it's my rules, please look:

function midcast(spell,action)
	if spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
		if spell.element == world.weather_element or spell.element == world.day_element then
			equip(sets.obi[spell.element])
		end
		if sets.midcast[spell.english] then
			equip(sets.midcast[spell.english])
		elseif spell.english:startswith('Protect') or spell.english:startswith('Shell') then
			equip(sets.midcast.ProtectShell)
		elseif spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' then
			if spell.english:startswith('Stone') then
				equip(sets.midcast.Stone)		
			elseif spell.english == 'Impact' then
				equip(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'],{body="Twilight Cloak"})
			else equip(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'])
			end
		elseif sets.midcast[spell.skill] then
			equip(sets.midcast[spell.skill])
		else equip(sets.precast.Fastcast)
		end
	end
end

I think it needs to be moved into the elemental magic rules part, and maybe dont 'end' it right away

Thank ya!  Looks good to me, the logic and all that.  I'll try it when I get home.  Cool beans, thanks!

Hi

I have a question.

I want the obi to work on elemental spells that have cast times longer than 3 seconds, which is essentially tier3 and above.  I tried this:

		if spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' then
			if spell.cast_time < 9 then
				if spell.english:startswith('Stone') then
					equip(sets.midcast.Stone,{head="Buremte Hat"})			
				else equip(sets.midcast.ElementalLow)
				end
			elseif spell.english:startswith('Stone') then
				equip(sets.midcast.Stone)
			elseif spell.english == 'Impact' then
				equip(sets.midcast.Impact)
			else equip(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'])
			end
			if spell.cast_time > 9 then
				if spell.element == world.weather_element or spell.element == world.day_element then
					equip(sets.obi[spell.element])
				end
			end 

it didnt work.  Can someone please review?  Thanks!

it works, dunno what was happening when it was crapping out on me!  sorry!
