Ok so I am reaching my intermediate levels in terms of editing gearswap luas my question is in my lua I seen I have certain lets call them "gear jump sets" that are dependent on keys such as f9 f10 etc my question is how do I assign gear sets to keys such as f7,f8 etc? thank-you for any input in advance.
P.S - I am a visual learner so any examples would be greatly appreciated.

Question to Expert Lua Scriprt Writer
I think what I am looking for to be more specific is a explanation / example of how to implement key binds into my lua
Here is a very simple example of what you're asking about. There are many other (better) ways to do it, but this should help a bit.
and a slightly longer example that i use for my paladin (i don't do it with key binds, rather i use macros but same general idea)
Code
function get_sets()
send_command('@bind f7 gs c changeequip')
current = "TP1"
sets.TP = {stuff here}
sets.TP_Acc = {otherstuffhere}
sets.aftercast_TP = sets.TP
end
function self_command(command)
if command == "changeequip" then
if current == "TP1" then
current = "TP2"
sets.aftercast_TP = sets.TP_Acc
else
current = "TP1"
sets.aftercast_TP = sets.TP
end
if player.status == "Engaged" then
equip(sets.aftercast_TP)
end
end
end
and a slightly longer example that i use for my paladin (i don't do it with key binds, rather i use macros but same general idea)
Code
elseif T{'pdt','mdt','shield','reraise','hybrid'}:contains(command) then
if command == 'pdt' then
if spdt == false then
sets.aftercast_TP = sets.pdt
sets.aftercast_Idle = sets.pdt
spdt = true
smdt = false
sshield = false
shybrid = false
reraise = false
add_to_chat(207, 'Armor: PDT')
display.armor = "PDT"
else
sets.aftercast_TP = sets.TP_Normal
sets.aftercast_Idle = sets.Idle
spdt = false
add_to_chat(207, 'Armor: Normal')
display.armor = "Normal"

late reply but thx a lot I appreciate your assistance
yea sorry it's so late, I really don't check forums very often
In a simpler way you can do:
Set the key bind exemple we set it to F1 and call it command C1
This goes at the start of your lua.
Then you create a command.
If you want something too be locked until you repush the keybind you need 2 lines at start. Lets do like if we are doing it for a PDT set.
Than in command it would look like:
Of course you would need to make the desired set for it to work.
And sorry late reply, I also dont read forums often.

Both examples worked like a charm thank you very much both Nitroustaru & Krystela side question to you both so now that we established "key binds as manual commands" i.e I have to push the appropriate key to activate it I now wonder if there is a way to set a function that will activate automatically based on "conditions" I know it works for precast midcast and JAs but will it work on lets say (when my hp is under 50% equip(set.whatever I want?)
There are functions in gearswap for that already i believe.. if not there are windower events based around hp.
for example:
This would "Do hp < 50% stuff" if your current hp iss less than or equal to 50% of your max hp. Otherwise it would "Do HP > 50% stuff". For example it would equip reraise gear if you were < 50% or something. I assume this is what you meant. There are other events you can use as well, they are listed here: http://dev.windower.net/doku.php?id=lua:api:events:start
Some of these events have gearswap alternatives though so be careful there.
For future reference as well, here are the functions that are built in to gearswap (hp wasn't one of them so you'll have to use the above example):
http://wiki.windower.net/doku.php?id=addons:gearswap:documentation:gearswap-specific_functions:start
for example:
Code
windower.register_event("hp change", function (new,old)
if new / player.max_hp <= .5 then
--do hp < 50% stuff here
else
--do hp > 50% stuff here
end
end)
This would "Do hp < 50% stuff" if your current hp iss less than or equal to 50% of your max hp. Otherwise it would "Do HP > 50% stuff". For example it would equip reraise gear if you were < 50% or something. I assume this is what you meant.

thanks a ton
Personally I just do, exemple from my whm lua:
(Those are under aftercast and status changes)
Exemple I want to switch to a specific idle set when my MP is under 80%:
Or I want switch to a idle PDT set if my hp is under 70%
And lastly if I want to equips a special neck if my TP is over 100.
and sorry again I am so slow lol

equip(sets.aftercast.Idle)

Code
if player.hpp <70 then
equip(sets.aftercast.Defense)
end
And lastly if I want to equips a special neck if my TP is over 100.
Code
if player.tp >100 then
equip(sets.aftercast.Idle, {neck="Chrys. Torque"})
end
and sorry again I am so slow lol
ha i totally forgot about those parts of the vitals table.. I knew there was probably an easier way to do it....
late reply thx
