Sorry if this has been asked or covered before

Can you add a command to change equipment based on time of day. I.e only use Lugra earring if between dusk to dawn

Can you add a command to equip moonshade earring if TP is below 2750tp

Are these possible / already done?

This has nothing to do with windower in general, it's a gearswap specific question, correct? In that case you should put it in the gearswap section.

And yes, this has been done before and is not difficult.

This is very subjective based on your coding skillset.

Can i rig up the code from scratch? No
Can i rip similar code from other gearswaps, edit it and make use of it to suit my needs? Yes

But someone who doesnt even know what a function is, they wouldnt even be able to steal the code and add it to their own lua.

time of day is
Code 
windower.ffxi.get_info().time
which returns "number of minutes past 00:00 in the current vana'diel day" because uh, of course it does. thankfully you can just hardcode comparing it to the dusk/dawn times and never have to sweat any fancy conversion (fwiw, I always just floor it/60 to get hours and modulo 60 it to get minutes, hell if I know if there's some fancy lua time function built in)

player tp is
Code 
windower.ffxi.get_player().vitals.tp
which returns your tp obviously

these go in whatever functions you're using to modify your equipsets, but since I don't know what you're doing, you'll have to do that part yourself

edit: for these and more fun functions, don't hesitate to use the windower wiki page which I have bookmarked at this point

Thanks all, appreciate the feedback. I’ll look into the web link, interesting that it can be done

I understand where you coming from but if you want to customize your gearswap lua, you'd do yourself a service to learn some basic lua, and RTDM :D

the Windower function is already mentioned, if you wish to do it directly in GS, you can use `world.time`

Example:
Code 
if world.time >= 17*60 or world.time <= 7*60 then
	if world.time >= (18*60) or world.time <= (6*60) then
		sets.Movement = set_combine(sets.Movement, sets.Movement.Night)
	else
		sets.Movement = set_combine(sets.Movement, sets.Movement.Dusk)
	end
else
	sets.Movement = set_combine(sets.Movement, sets.Movement.Day)
end
