I've been trying to figure out how to update my Selindrile WAR lua to add functionality to pull with a Dart. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

Currently I've got an in-game macro that swaps in a Dart into ammo and I can /ra <stnpc> but if I take a step the lua swaps me back to either my engaged ammo (or idle ammo).

Appreciate if anyone has figured out how to swap in ammo for pulling into their luas - preferably would work either engaged (TPing) or idle.

tried making an idle set toggle for pulling including the dart? Just an idea I feel like it should work?

Have you tried to make similar sets as the rng lua? Precast set and midcast set ?

Edit: precast RA , midcast RA sets

Would be the best place to get support for Sel's Gearswap

sets.precast.RA = {ammo="Dart"}

It doesn't need to be in your midcast.

EDIT: Maybe it does. I only use it when I'm not engaged.

I added this to precast and midcast with Sel, works great. I think I had issues with idle sets swapping midcast if I didnt include both.

-- Ranged snapshot gear
sets.precast.RA = {range="Halakaala",ring2="Crepuscular Ring",}


-- Ranged midshot gear
sets.midcast.RA = {range="Halakaala",ear2="Telos Earring",ring1="Regal Ring",ring2="Crepuscular Ring"}

Code 
sets.precast = {}
sets.precast.RA = {ammo="Dart"}

---------------------------------------------------

sets.midcast = {}
sets.midcast.RA = {ammo="Dart"}

---------------------------------------------------

function precast(spell)
    if spell.action_type == 'Ranged Attack' then
        equip(sets.precast.RA)
    end
end

---------------------------------------------------

function midcast(spell)
    if spell.action_type == 'Ranged Attack' then
        equip(sets.midcast.RA)
    end
end

A few things to note: As long as you usually idle/melee with just the ammo slot filled and not a ranged weapon, you will not lose TP.

It depends on your LUA if you will need the midcast portion or not, test it and find out.

Also, I would recommend possibly putting any Treasure Hunter gear you have on in 'sets.precast.RA' and 'sets.midcast.RA' to apply up to TH4 (or TH8 on THF main) for your action since even a missed ranged attack will apply TH.

/ja "provoke"<t> if you're that close or can aggro pull.

I get his desire, and those solutions won't solve the concerns.

Likely he wants something that allows pulling from a greater distance than Provoke would, and possibly also to be able to pull single targets among mobs that aggro job abilities. Basically, the needs for non-magical, non-ja pulling mechanics is real, and when it is needed (albeit not a ton), nothing else will suffice.

In CP/EXP/Odyssee parties, most everything dies before your provoke timer is back up.

When you're standing there getting buffed, sometimes it's nice to grab some mobs that don't stand a chance at interrupting said buffs being given so that you're not wasting time.

Seemed to work for me, gave me the added functionality that as long as I got a /ra initiated (with the correct ammo) that small movements would not unequip the dart.

Thank you!

Edit - I did just notice updating precast and midcast RA killed my ability to Tomahawk, need to think through that one.

sets.precast.Tomahawk = {ammo="Throwing tomahawk"}
---------------------------------------------------

sets.midcast.Tomahawk = {ammo="Throwing tomahawk"}
---------------------------------------------------
function precast(spell)
    if spell.type == "JobAbility" then
        if spell.english == "Tomahawk" then
            equip(sets.precast.Tomahawk)
        end
    
    elseif spell.action_type == 'Ranged Attack' then
        equip(sets.precast.RA)

        end
        
    elseif spell.action_type == 'Ranged Attack' then
        equip(sets.midcast.RA)
    end
end
---------------------------------------------------

This ideally would fix your issue, but I cannot see exactly what your LUA is doing. I believe that for Tomahawk you only need it in precast, but I would just leave it in midcast just to be safe and make sure nothing gets messed up.
