The most important part is left out... the actual description/explanation of the functions and overall structure of commands. How do they work with the game, what defines them, do they need another file that defines the libraries for them... "making our own" from where? from what? what's the "from scratch" guide?... I'm sorry but I find this to be a lazy fast forwarded video that skips over the most important parts and just thinly shows the export and copy paste but not a more in-depth examples.

Writing scripts for Spellcast and Gearswap has been the most fun way ever to learn code. Haven't played in a long time and coming back for a free week is great. Thanks to Gearswap I'm still able to play the game as I've forgotten everything sinds (though it comes back very fast).

Heya, trying to figure out why "my" Lua isn't working. Please help ; ; The file is loading fine. Yet my gear doesn't swap. I've tried two different Lua's now. Currently working on Arislans - Do I need to paste a set into every single set function? Ie, I am very new - I don't have enough gear to fill all these scenarios. So for now I am basically looking to use a fast cast set for precast and a MAB for midcast. At first I tried to just use those function that were appropriate to this. Do i need to fill every gear set "brace" with some form of gear set? Hope I'm clear, I don't seem to getting anywhere.

This is a good video. It could be better if you slow down a bit on the actions you take. Around the 4:30-4:40 point when you started converting one .lua to another, you started deleting faster than I could really catch without scrolling back a couple times. A slower pace would be good for those of us who are completely new to GS .luas. otherwise...GREAT DELIVERY.

I spent a ton of time learning and perfecting my SpellCasts. Once GearSwap came around I was VERY overwhelmed with the new addon because I could no longer play the way that I did. I wasn't very into learning a new scripting language just to play a game either. I tried copy/pasting gear into the prewritten LUA files but I didnt understand any of it. I also thought using ashitacast would work for me with the similar XML markup to SpellCast. There was little documentation on what I could actually do with it. The prewritten xml files looked very crude at the time. In the end I used the new equipment sets system just to get my main job functional again but it was never the same. Most of my friends were quitting at the time and it wasn't worth it to learn with so few left to play with. Sorry for the wall of text guys. This video gave me a bit of PTSD but I still gave you a thumbs up.
@jdavis79936 жыл бұрын
Really GearSwap is quite easy to use at a base level, you just have to be careful when copy/pasting. The biggest thing people do wrong is not having commas after each piece of gear, having extra commas, not having a {} surrounding a set, or having extra { or } next to a set. Every time I fix someone's file this is the issue like 95% of the time. When it's not that, it generally wasn't their fault because the file was broken before they got it... Though I must admit, gearswap is worth the change, this video doesn't even begin to cover what this can do.

I am glad to see someone is making some videos about this. One thing I did not hear you mention and seems to be a major problem beginners miss is to SAVE the updates before reloading the lua in game. So many times people forget to save and spend a lot of extra time trying to find an issue that doesn't exist.
