Gearswap Support Thread

If you look at some of the other jobs, down at the bottom Sel adds in buff state modifiers.

So if you wanted to have certain pieces of gear equipped when Valiance or Vallation are up, you would stick that in the sets.buff.Valiance and sets.buff.Vallation lines down at the bottom, I expect.

sets.buff.whatever is for gear that should remain equipped for the duration of the buff. Don't put fastcast gear in those sets.

Just happened to be looking around on here, and for the record, I didn't have any code specifically for this, I just added it, and I used this name for the set: sets.precast.FC.Inspiration = {}

While technically it could fit well enough in either FC sets or Buff sets, I felt it more fitting in this case next to the normal precast set, as people are likely to set_combine off the base FC set for Inspiration, .buff sets are generally (though not always) usually focused on a single piece of gear or maybe two, that affect a buff, whereas in this case, with all the extra FC from Inspiration one might have, one might want to swap around their entire set.

@Dodik "buff" sets aren't necessarily things that are equipped "for the duration of the buff", they are in some cases, but each sets.buff.whatever follows it's own rules as buff-affecting gear is WILDLY varied, for example:

sets.buff['Burst Affinity'] - Blu nuke midcast
sets.buff['Chain Affinity'] - Blu physical midcast
sets.buff.Diffusion - Blu buff midcast
sets.buff.Doom - all times when doomed
sets.buff.Entrust - casting a indi spell on another player
sets.buff.Impetus - meleeing or using a crit ws

Perhaps I should've done it differently, perhaps sets.buff shouldn't exist at all and they should each be part of their respective aligned actions, but, would be an awkward thing to change now at this point.

Seeing Selindrile post (thank you for your hard work on the gearswap file!) reminded me of a question I have had for a while. Does anyone know how to override the weapon states to equip Diamond Aspis for warrior self JAs? I have not been able to figure it out. Ideally, if using Chango or any other combo, it would switch to one-hand weapon and the diamond aspis for job abilities then switch back to previous state - thank you!

Assuming with your statement that you use my GS, it can be handled a few ways, I haven't added any handling myself because I've been dithering over it all this time.

Assuming you don't have weapons in locations where you wouldn't want them to swap in this situation (precast.JA sets without buffs, precast.FC sets) you can just use state.UnlockWeapons.value to swap weapons freely during JA and still have the Weapon set of your choice equipped during idle and engaged.

If you -DO- have weapons in those sets, Tomahawk, some fastcast Weapon for Utsusemi, Max Acc weapon on Dancer steps, this gets a bit complicated in that we'd only want to swap out weapons for a JA that gives buffs, and there are a lot of them, along with a lot that don't, and I don't have a clean way to do a check for "Does this JA produce a buff." and I don't really want a giant entry in the mappings file for this one situation, actually while writing this I just remembered that the resources file tracks which buff JA's apply, and I can use that, though I'd need to either make an exception for 1hr abilities. I'll try to do this tonight, and it will likely be called AspisMode.

Also, if you want quick responses to anything about my GS, myself and many members of my community are happy to help with GS modifications or inquiries at: https://discord.gg/ug6xtvQ

Can anyone help me with a code that will auto change my engaged gear sets from single wield to dual wield and vice versa? The lua will change the gear sets but only if I disengage, reload gearswap and reengage. So if I’am dual wielding and mid fight want to equip a shield it make’s the appropriate gear changes. It’s for my Bst lua.
