Gearswap Help

Not sure if the SMN forums are a better place to ask this or not...

Is it possible to have my macro book/page automatically change according to what avatar I have out?

ex: I have no avatar out so I'm on book 1 page 1. This book has macros to summon all avatars. I summon Garuda and it changes automatically to page 6 which has macros solely for Garuda BPs.

Is this something that is possible to add, and if so, could anyone tell me how or point me to something that might help me understand how to add it in?

I know the THF lua I found will automatically put you on the correct book/page depending on your subjob, so I figured it was doable but I have very little experience with this kind of stuff.

You could catch this in your aftercast function.

You don't need gearswap to do this, my first page is all summon macros.

line 1: /ma "Shiva" <me>
line 2: /macro set 2

automatically calls all the shiva macros. (which are on set 2)
If you need to use a different book (which I think I might because there's more than 9 avatars):

line 2: /macro book 3
line 3: /macro set 10

(or whatever the numbers should be)

I have the same button on all macros which does release and returns to the original book set.

What flippant posted is nice if the pet dies since it will save you a button to return to the main set.

Actually, I'm silly. What Brimstone said made me remember there's a pet_change function, so it'd be better to use that.

I think a great feature for alot of gearswap lua files would be to be able to simply export sets.

For example, right now, If I download a lua that someone has made, I then go thru the lua and swap in gear that I have to fill out the same sets.

However, It would be alot more efficient to adapt or update a lua if I could simply use the gearswap export function.

For example, I'm in game and I equip the gear for Fast Cast for my blue mage, and instead of writing in the gear, I simply export it, and overwrite my existing Xilkk_blu_FC.lua file and that updates my gearset.

I imagine one would want to make a list of all sets in the primary lua, and separate files for each updatable gearset. I think this would be a very desirable feature for the most popular and distributed gearswap lua files.

I'm not sure if this would be a problematic overhead for speed and processing, but I DO think it would make updating and adapting gearsets and lua files very smooth. i think people would be less likely to mess up lua's and potentially less time supporting lua's that people have made and shared.

Anyone know what commands to use to adapt the exported sets this way?
