Unfortunately, no. Both marches produce the exact same buff (simply named "March") client-side.

You could probably do it with AutoExec setting Spellcast variables. I haven't played around too much with AutoExec though, but if you try to find "gains the effect of Victory March" then set a VictoryMarch variable, you'd be able to use that.

It's a long way of doing it and I don't know if AutoExec can track things like that, but it's all I can come up with atm :P

It can't be done reliably.

Unfortunately, setting a variable based on gainbuff_March doesn't work. Because autoexec will only see you gain the first march, and doesn't register the second at all. It's pretty frustrating.

Pay attention to your damn buffs, make toggles for different TP sets. This is not a problem with a difficult solution.

You don't have to automate everything.

I thought AutoExec could follow chat events too D: If not, then what I came up with definitely wouldn't work >< The way I was looking at it was that it could wait until you gain the effect of each buff (if memory serves me right, it pops up in the chat log with the exact name? If not, then again it wouldn't work >_>;)

I'd be more inclined to agree with Sylow though, separate sets would be a whole lot easier to deal with.

It won't follow those sorts of chat events because it's (ironically) designed to not be used for botting.

If you use Exiled you can set an alarm to track the type of march, but no plugins tracks them individually atm.

Get the best of both worlds, automate it and set up an override toggle for when you only have one march.

You can always set a variable in your spellcast :/

I kinda did it with SMN so I'd have the right avatar set equipped.
Code
<elseif Spell="Shiva">
				<action type="equip" when="precast|midcast|aftercast" set="Shiva" />
				<action type="command" when="precast">sc var set Shiva 1</action>
			</elseif>


But then you have to deal with probs that would incur if you tried to cast the same one twice on purpose, like if it wore off or something. The variable stays set til you change it. But then again if you knew how long exactly your song was going to last, you can set a delay to change the variable back.
