PUP LUA Help

Hi all,

I'm currently using I guess an ooold LUA from Kinematics and I'm having issues with it. I've gone through and input my gear into the sections (engage, idle, etc), but the main issue I'm having is it will not auto change my gear based on the Automaton head I have equipped.

From what I've been able to find out (still new to PUP) is that there's no way for the automaton to change gear if it's going to WS and I have to do that manually, but it only equips one set I have set for sets.idle.Pet.Engaged when I sent the autmaton out. It won't equip the Pet.Tank, Pet.Engaged.Ranged, Nuke or Magic.

Any help or pointers is greatly appreciated. I'm just using the standard Kinematics lua, I haven't changed anything - maybe I'm supposed to?

Cheers,

Hi there,

From what I understand, PUP luas can swap the Master's gear depending on what the automaton is about to do, provided there's enough time for the lua to react.

I haven't come across a lua that changes the automaton's gear, although I never looked for one. I assumed it was not possible? Or at least would be much more difficult than just swapping the Master's gear?

Well, gear swap can’t detect the auto about to use a ws and swap gear virtually instantly in response to the action in the same way it can for players when you take an action (either menu or macro). There are certain luas that try to overcome this by just switching master gear when the pet is approaching 1000 tp (say 800) and leaving it on until the auto does a ws.

But more to your question about that lua, it does look to me like the author intended it to update pet mode and thus master gear whenever you summon a new auto. At first glance I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work.

Hi folks,

Thanks for the responses. Yeah, I totally get that for some things I have to manually equip sets, it's just frustrating that it won't switch for engaged automaton's.

I guess my overall point of the thread was to find out if anyone has ever had this work? If so, is there something I'm missing to either swap PetModes manually or get it to do it automatically? Or, what LUA are folks using?

Cheers,

if my memory's correct it should swap to a puppet engaged set as soon as the puppet takes a swing at a target, however motes old lua has puppet engaged sets based on the head and/or body, and i had to strip most of that out/just change all the engage sets for those frame combos to call the same set, minus mage cause mage frame hardly ever meleed
