Gearswap to deal with level Synch

I have been trying to write a simple routine in gearswap that will lower a spell tier automatically if I'm party synced below it's available level, For instance, as a 47 BLM, I have Fire II available to me but if I party sync to level 18 in the dunes only Fire, is available to me. Which is all well fine and dandy to edit a single macro but I don't want to edit an entire macro palette just for few hours in a level sync party or something like that.

Below is what I thought might do the trick but it doesn't work... Any suggestions on how to achieve what I'm talking about here?

if spell.english:startswith('Fire')and spell.interrupted then

if spell.english:startswith('Fire') and spell.interrupted then
        if spell.english:endswith('IV') then
            send_command('@input /ma "Fire III" <t>')
        elseif spell.english:endswith('III') then
            send_command('@input /ma "Fire II" <t>')
        elseif spell.english:endswith('II') then
            send_command('@input /ma "Fire" <t>')
        end
    end
 
And obviously, Stone, Water, Aero, Blizzard, and Thunder for the other spells.
 
Thanks,

here is a quick example (i think it needs to be in filtered_action or precast)

it changes your fire spell to the highest lvl you can cast

spell_convert = {
    Fire = {"Fire VI","Fire V","Fire IV","Fire III","Fire II","Fire"}
    ...
}
    if spell_convert[spell.name] then
        local new_spell = spell.name
        local change_spell = false
        for _,v in pairs(spell_convert[spell.element]) do
            local spelln = gearswap.res.spells:with('name', v)
            if spelln.levels[player.main_job_id] <= player.main_job_level then
                new_spell = spelln.name
                change_spell = true
                break
            end
        end
        if change_spell then
            cancel_spell()
            send_command('input /ma "'..new_spell..'" '..spell.target.raw)
            return
        end
    end
 

its untested so take it with a grain of salt

Unfortunately this didn't seem to work, maybe I put it in the wrong place in my LUA or something. Thanks for giving it a try though.

try this one it should only trigger on /ma "Fire" or /ma "Blizzard"

spell_convert = {
    trigger_spells = S{"Fire","Blizzard"}--the spells you want to use in your macros go here(to add more just add them)
    ["Fire"] = {"Fire VI","Fire V","Fire IV","Fire III","Fire II","Fire"}--you need a list of all the spell for each spell you use in macro (highest level first)
    ["Blizzard"] = {"Blizzard VI","Blizzard V","Blizzard IV","Blizzard III","Blizzard II","Blizzard"}--this is how you add more spells
}
    if spell_convert.trigger_spells.contains(spell.name) then
        local new_spell = spell.name
        local change_spell = false
        for _,v in pairs(spell_convert[new_spell]) do
            local spelln = gearswap.res.spells:with('name', v)
            if spelln.levels[player.main_job_id] <= player.main_job_level then
                new_spell = spelln.name
                change_spell = true
                break
            end
        end
        if change_spell then
            cancel_spell()
            send_command('input /ma "'..new_spell..'" '..spell.target.raw)
            return
        end

would it work if I used the shortcut plugin/addon and typed /fire or /blizzard?

it should

the only issue i can think of is if your using motes include

and thats because i dont know muck about how it works

Do I need to do something special to get them to use them?

I don't seem to have any luck getting GS to even work for anything at this point...

I have used an example script and plugged in my gear and no gear changes, I even typed //gs r when I zoned and it ackonwledged the file loaded, still nothing.
