I created a /dnc spellcast for a melee set to do trials with and named it "myname_whm_dnc", and it loads when SC is loaded, but it does absolutely nothing. I have gone over and over the SC and haven't found anything wrong with it. I'm fairly new to SC, and am not sure if I need <groups> </group> anywhere in it.
Any help trying to resolve this issue would be great.
Code
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <spellcast>
    <config
    Debug="false"
    ShowGearSwaps="false"
    NormalSet="IDLE"
    RestingSet="REST"
    EngagedSet="TP"

Also, when SC does load this, it says:

File: Myname_WHM_DNC.xml - Group: INIT_LOAD

I'm not sure what it means, which is why I referred to the "<group></group>" in OP.

Oh, you didn't group your sets. I've never tried an sc without groups but maybe that's the problem.

I also changed line 215 from
Code
<if spell="Sneak" BuffActive="Sneak" advanced='"%target"="<me>"'>


to
Code
<if spell="Sneak" BuffActive="Sneak" spelltargettype="self">


Because my xml validator was tripping on that line (errantly, I'm sure)

Thank you for the response. How exactly do I "group" them and where do I begin/end the grouping? I've only used SC for ~a week, and just for shorthand casting abilities.

Thanks for the assistance.

He had already modified your file and grouped them to show you, just check under the first <sets> tag there in his response, and it ends after the </sets> tag designated by where it says <group> and </group> respectively.

Ok, now I have a problem with precast not coming on until AFTER the spell starts. How do I fix this?

Nevermind the last question. I found another XML that had the answer.

Under "<rules>, I placed this:
Code
		<if Spell="Cur*">
            <action type="precastdelay" delay=".3" />
            <action type="equip" when="precast" set="CURETIME"/>
            <action type="midcastdelay" delay=".3"/>
            <action type="equip" when="midcast" set="Cure"/>
        </if>


Works perfectly.

I think what you want is a castdelay instead of a precastdelay.

Here is my understanding:

  • precastdelay: delay before equipping your precast set

  • castdelay: delay before casting your spell



In my testing, the castdelay gives you a small window of time between equipping the gear and the start of the spell cast. You can test this yourself with large values for the delays (like 5 seconds or something) and see what happens when.

Although... now that I've tested it again, I'm not seeing any difference in behavior between precastdelay and castdelay. Both equip gear first and then delay the casting of the spell.

Maybe someone can confirm whether or not that is the case? I've not found much documentation on how this stuff works yet other than other people's xml's.

I have a similar post on this topic here for reference: http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/38694/equip-grip-error-and-spellcast-help/
