Gearswap Help

Hello, I started working on this by using the "Gearswap for Dummies" and then moved on to referencing examples of other .lua files. I cant get rid of an error change_defense_mode () nil function. Any help would be greatly appreciated in finding and learning what exactly I am doing wrong.

Here is the code so far....

You're calling the function "update_defense_mode()" twice... That function doesn't actually exist in your code.

You either need to remove those two function calls, OR add the function "update_defense_mode()".

Here is said function from Kinematics gearswaps (which you seem to be using bits and pieces from already)

(PS: you should use the "code" formatting option when displaying code on FFXIah forums. Makes it much easier to read. It's the button with the piece of paper and the blue "<>" when you're writing/editing your post.)

Thanks, Ill will do that as I continue to learn. I will try do both to the file and see how it functions. Is there a place I can read what this function is actually made for? Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.
