I'm new to autoexec, basically I currently use /console exec dmg.txt; for a -dmg macro on magical and physical. However I've heard of autoexec yet never used it. I was trying to figure out how to use it, alas online windower forums were no help that I could find.

I'm trying to have my -dmg gear to go on while i'm stunned, terrored, or in an otherwise senario where my shield would do no good.

Anyone that could help would be much appreciated. Thank you

make an ingame macro to swap to your -DT gear set and press it when you get stunned, terrored, or in a scenario where your shield is useless

if you can get / using spellcast could add a line reading as follows:

<if buffactive="Cover">
<equip when="engaged">
<head>Gallant Coronet +1</head>
<body>Valor Surcoat</body>
</equip>
</if>

This example is for cover, but just change the buff to Terror|Stun and it would have the same effect, after the buff wears most scripts would then put your normal shield based tanking gear back on.

Except you have to take an action to trigger spellcast to reparse the rules, autoexec will trigger when you gain a buff and don't do anything else.

This is what he wants:

I would personally hate to do that, at some point it feels like I'm not even playing the game anymore.

This would go into your windower folder: Windower\plugins\AutoExec\AutoExec.xml

this is what i use on auto exec for the rare occ i do stuff like Legion Pld/Nin, which swap to DT gears when i dont have shadows up - it should give you some ideas of what to do


<register event="losebuff_Copy_Image*" silent="true">input /ma "Fire Spirit"</register>
<register event="gainbuff_Copy_Image*" silent="true">input /ma "Fire Spirit"</register>



<if mode="and" subjob="NIN" buffactive="Copy Image*">
<equip when="aftercast|engaged" set="TP" />
</if>
<elseif mode="and" subjob="NIN" notbuffactive="Copy Image*">
<equip when="aftercast|engaged" set="idle" group="PDT" />
</elseif>
