Gearswap - Weapon Change Base On Mob

I primarily use an R15 Apoc, but I recently bought a Father Time for those situations when I'm fighting undead, and Catastrophe is of no use. Is there a way to script it so that when I engage an undead, my main weapon changes to Father Time?

Pretty sure that goes beyond the scope of Gearswap. Also to even try to make that happen, you'd have to make a reference list of EVERY undead mob in the game and then make a way to reference that list and then mapping if/else statements...

Personally I'd just hide a macro on the end of a bar somewhere:

Normal:
/equip main "Apocalypse"
Undead:
/equip main "Father Time"

I use a similar trick on RNG when shifting main/off between Physical WS and TF. Would be 1000000000000000 times easier.

I considered doing that. I was trying to avoid making another macro set, as I currently use 2 full lines.

if you make a lsit of every undead mob it wouldn't be too hard.

I ended up just making macros to equip a main weapon anyways. Since I use Misanthropy for Drains and Apsirs.

I think there are gear swap Lua that allows you to cycle weapons (by extension, WS gear sets) by pressing a short cut.

So it's possible to go with a staff WS at start then switch to another weapon afterwards

So heres a good one, is there a way to cancel a buff through gear swap?

Say I want to use Drain 3 or Dread Spikes, I'd like it to kill Hasso/Seigen automatically.

I've been doing it manually so my recast isnt affected.

I think there was one that cancels utsusemi when you recast it, can't remember which lua though.

Or just make a macro, i think there is a cancel add-on in windower to remove a buff.

This is how you do the Utsusemi one, so you'll need to find out the IDs of the Buffs you want:


Edit, just looked for you: Hasso/Siegen use the buff ID of 353 for Hasso, 354 for Seigan.
For reference: Windower4 > Res > Buffs.lua

If you have the Cancel addon:

send_command('cancel Hasso')

Thanks!

Manually do it, otherwise you’ll have annoying 1000+ TP swaps which will completely negate any gains.

How often does he fight an undead mob anyway? Probably niche enough that if he's asking for it losing TP isn't going to be a problem.

Since making this post, I started using Sel's GS, and learned how to use the cycle weapons command. So now by DRK is more versatile and can seamlessly cycle through scythes, great swords, swords, great axes, and axes as the situation dictates.
