spellcast

for a plugin that is "supposedly" dead, it should has been updated by someone. I use to be able to use the $pet to have pet gear returned if casting a spell now it goes straight to my idle gear. I know its not any xml because i've restore that script to a prior backup date.

as stated before if any thing breaks in spell cast i will not be fixed
 
if you want spellcast functionality you need to use:
shortcuts - for the spell shortcuts (i.e. for cure use /c1)

gearswap - for gear swaps

not to mention

gearswap is faster

gearswap is more capable

if you can write it in lua you can do it in gearswap(almost)

ok, riddle me this batman...

what is the easiest way to convert my spellcast script to a lua script?

it depend on your spellcast script

here is some info

http://wiki.windower...:gearswap:start

this is the best place to find help

here is some ware lost of premade scripts are located

here is a basic tut

unfortunately there is no way to convert directly to gearswap you have to do it by hand

this is a basic layout if you dont need the function just remove it or add a return in it or it will error

when time permits and i can look over everything you have given and begin the coverting process, i thank you for what you have given.

Two other things that hopefully you can answer.

First, being able to revert back to "pet" gear automatically after curing

Lastly, being able to determine gear used by where you are at... (Set A only in towns while Set B is everywhere else)

for citys you can do something like this but you would still have to heal once in a city

there is a way to automate it on zone change but that you would have to figure it out on your own

the pet one you can do this

by no meens are these the be all end all ways to do them just examples

also these links will only work for 24 hrs

There is a partially working Spellcast-to-Gearswap translator. I was never really able to get people to test it, and interest died out so I stopped working on it. It's also quite a bit more strict than Spellcast was, as it's based on a new parser that was going to be used for Spellcast 3. You can use the online frontend or download a command line version to run it locally on your PC. If you use the online version you need to upload all of the include files as well.

The online version has zero error reporting, so if there's a problem translating your script it will just give you a blank page. Even if it works for your script, the result may not be completely compatible with Gearswap. The logic should all be correct, but some variable names may be wrong and the scaffolding needed to emulate certain Spellcast idiosyncrasies may not function correctly.

If you find any bugs, or have feedback, I'd love to hear about it.

Edit: In no way do I advocate writing Lua the way the translator does. The translator takes a very mechanical approach, and is attempting to faithfully recreate the behavior of Spellcast. It also does some very radical code transformations, and makes heavy use of constant folding and branch pruning to keep things under control. This tends to create some very strange constructions in the resulting output.

I've been using a lua script that was listed from BG's website and for the most part it does everything my spellcast script did and then some.

One thing it does should my gear change while in town, having avatar already summoned, and i exit that my avatar set is automatically loaded. Now, is there some way i could reverse that so when i go into town that my idle set auto equips?
