if your using the shortcuts addon you can also just do /con send player /fire5 <t>

Do Motes GS luas still work?
I'm just coming back, and I had my SMN GS working for the most part, so I copied the rest of my luas over to the folder. Now I'm getting a runtime error when I load my SMN. If I disable Mote-Include.lua in my SMN.lua it loads.
I've tried deleting and reinstalling everything in the windower folder, I can't seem to track down the issue.

Gearswap: Loaded your SMN.lua file!
Gearswap: Lua runtime error: gearswap/flow.lua:346:
Gearswap has detected an error in the user function get_sets:
...Windower4addons/libs/images.lua:125: attempt to call global 'class' (a nil value)

I haven't changed anything in the actual files other than to troubleshoot, but maybe I overwrote one of the mote.lua files with an older one on accident?

Edit: Apparently I'm actually using Verda's lua.
E2: Google > AH Search function apparently, found the problem/fix. https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/47688/summoner-gearswap-yep-another-one-p/5/

Im experiencing what I think is a similar error when I try to load Selindrile's Sam lua.

Which references this:

Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

So I as all excited to get my Kaja Katana and try it out, but as soon as I equip it my Whole LUA system breaks to this error. It is only the Kaja Katana and in either weapon slot. I have tried updating the GS files several times.
"Gearswap: LUA runtime error: Gearswap/equip_processing.lua: 246: attempt to index failed '?' (a nil value)"

The command in reference is

function to_names_set(equipment)
local equip_package = {}

for ind,cur_item in pairs(equipment) do
local name = 'empty'
if type(cur_item) == 'table' and cur_item.slot ~= empty then
if items[to_bag_api(res.bags[cur_item.bag_id].english)][cur_item.slot].id == 0 then return {} end
-- refresh_player() can run after equip packets arrive but before the item array is fully loaded,
-- which results in the id still being the initialization value.
name = res.items[items[to_bag_api(res.bags[cur_item.bag_id].english)][cur_item.slot].id][language]
end

if tonumber(ind) and ind >= 0 and ind <= 15 and math.floor(ind) == ind then
equip_package[toslotname(ind)] = name
else
equip_package[tostring(ind)] = name
end
end

return equip_package
end

Bold is the line in mention

its because you cant reuse a function parameter as a variable

this will remove the posted error

Thank you very much, I'll give this a shot when the servers come back up.

this is not something for us to fix give an error report to windower here https://github.com/Windower/Lua/issues

Started gearswap and now this:

sorry i forgot the '' around @
like com = '@'..command

Ahhh, thanks

Is the logic in your precast/midcast functions resulting in an attempt to equip the Kaja to your offhand but you don't have a main equipped?

Without seeing your lua it's impossible to say.

I have an issue only with NIN LUA. After casting san a few times it starts wanting to spam san and wont stop. I cant see anything in the LUA that would be causing this and have tried both Sels and Motes versions and its the same with both. My knowledge of GS is limited so im not sure if there is something in a supporting file which might be causing this. It doesn't happen with any other spell or version of utsusemi, just SAN and the only way to fix it is to fully shutdown, even logging out and in doesn't fix it or changing jobs and back. Any help would be really appreciated!

I have also changed conserveshadows in sel-include to false and this didn't help or change the current action also

this is the screenshot when debugmode is on

so I tested some more by changing jobs, and in my MH, once this starts even on a different job, something is spamming in the background, however it is being filtered as debug says entering filtered_action which I can only assume is because utsusemi: SAN is NIN only?

anyone know how i can have my macro books change when i call a certain avatar? i'm using the mote smn lua if that helps any.

Just to follow up on this, added the ' ' around the @ and still getting the same error.

can you post your full file to pastebin or something so i can see it

https://pastebin.com/8XxnFBa6

ok so it looks like

1.this is not your user file it is actually a gearswap file so all fixes i posted are useless
2.you are using Selindrile's do you have all of his include files downloaded and in the correct folders (https://github.com/Selindrile/GearSwap)
3.have you folowed Selindrile's instructions on how to use the include

Unload itemizer. I think it get's stuck in a loop.

Is there a way to read player types for party members WITHOUT having to target them?

For example
Returns SELF, PLAYER, NPC etc depending on whom I am targeting.

What I've attempted a great many different combinations of the following and so far they all return nil.
Is this information not stored in the party table? How do I find out what information is in the party table?

party[#].mob.is_npc (true/false)
everything else in gearswaps party and alliance tables should be players

mob.is_npc should only be true for escort quests/missions
other players pets should only be found with party{#}.mob.pet_index
but you have to get the data on your own

Thank you very much.

For clarity, is there reference guide somewhere expanding on what information is available from party[#].mob? I did try to look through the Windower documentation but I didn't find any more details or better links to follow.

I was able to get
party[#].mob.distance
party[#].mob.name
and now party[#].mob.is_npc

party[#].mob.what_else_is_out_there? lol

Have something like the eval addon or inside your GS, do something like:

for k,v in pairs(party[#].mob) then
windower.add_to_chat(2, tostring(i)..' '..tostring(v))
end

And you can find out~

Tl;dr

Is there a 'CastingMode' that works for Job Abilities?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Solved:

Thanks. This was interesting. So I tried that command on a trust, "Zeid II" and this is what I got:


Tried that on myself and got roughly the same with some different values.


I can see some of the values are name, distance, xpos, ypos, and whatnot, but the fact they're reporting back as nil makes it hard to know what syntax to use in the lua.

How do I know from that table that I needed to use xxx.is_npc?

Sorry to be pain; I'm just eager to learn more.

your output is wonky because the code has an error

the first line says for k,v in pairs
it is breaking up the table and putting the data in to local variables k(location) and v(variable)
how ever when it tries to write the data so it can be seen
windower.add_to_chat(2, tostring(i)..' '..tostring(v))
it uses i for the location
so the easiest fix is to change the i in tostring(i) to k
or the k in for k,v to i

That worked perfectly and has been a great help to me! Thank you.

I had another question though. I'm working on an addon and was attempting to use windower.ffxi.get_party().p# to obtain the parties buffs/debuffs. I ran the code above to see what was contained in windower.ffxi.get_party().p# table and don't see a buffs table. Gearswap has this option for party[#].buffactive so I know it's possible somehow, but I am at a loss again.
