Few Base Lua Questions

Hello,

I'm trying to create a basic lua I can activate with gearswap that just casts a spell I choose, waits a determined amount of type and casts it again, that I can just copy and paste over and over to repeat as much as I like.

Does anyone know what I would type in lua to make that happen?


Additionally, I use to remember being able to type like /fire 2 in game to cast fire 2, but nowadays it doesn't work and I don't know what I need to make that work again.

Thank you.

The addon that enables that is called shortcuts.

The other thing i am not sure what you mean, do you mean like for example your a RUN and you select ignis now every time you enter some command it will cast ignis, and then later you select gelus and now it casts gelus when you use that command?

Thank you

No, I just want to go up to an enemy and type //lua l spell

and it'll just cast stone 1 like a hundred times in a row to level up magic so I don't have to hurt my fingers.

There's a skill up lua made for that already

What you guys are talking about is considered botting, which is against FFXIAH's rules.

That doesnt work with offensive stuff.

Oh sorry, I didn't know it was botting, I just have arthritis and it helps with the skill ups while reducing pain

Since its finite and doesn't loop, I thought it wasnt considered botting.

Edit this to change Spell1, Spell2 and Spell3 to the spells you want to cast and adjust the delay appropriately.
To start
To stop
Basically this alias repetitively invoke itself at the end.
By redefining the alias to ;, it stops the alias from further invoking itself.

If you have a gaming keyboard it may have some programmable buttons. If not, you could consider getting one, it might help your situation.

I can, for example, set one of those buttons to "Hold Ctrl, press 1". Then with a single key press I can hit my Ctrl 1 macro.

As an aside, I recommend setting up a macro with /ma "stone" <bt> <wait 2> on all 6 rows. This way you only need to press the key every 6 times. This should resolve any physical issues with doing skillups, and the only issue is you need to be physically present and pushing buttons to get skillups, which is just...the game. Even pushing Ctrl + 1 every 12 seconds really isn't very stressful considering how the rest of the game is.

Hope this helps, good luck!
