Blank spell: /ma " III" <t>

[momotaroko]

If I set tier 5 for Double Burt, it would work and do this:

/ma "Thunder V" <t>
/ma "Thunder IV" <t>

Then a new skillchain is appearing while Thunder V and IV is cooling down it will try to burst lower tier Thunder III as it should, but it does an error 95% of the time and shows a blank spell with this message so no burst is occurring:

/ma " III" <t>

Added to the list of things to look into when I rejoin the game in spring.

Haven't been able to recreate this. If you do please share how.

I was able to recreate it by having these settings:

Settings:

• tier 6
• doubleburst on
• stepdown always

Events:

1. Light skillchain appears.
2. Double burst occurs correctly, casting Thunder VI followed by Thunder V.
3. Spells timers of Thunder VI and Thunder V is cooling down.
4. Another Light skillchain appears.
5. It will have error "/ma  IV <t>"

---

Settings:

• tier 5
• doubleburst on
• stepdown always

Events:

1. Light skillchain appears.
2. Double burst occurs correctly, casting Thunder V and Thunder IV.
3. Spells timers of Thunder V and Thunder IV is cooling down.
4. Another Light skillchain appears.
5. It will have error "/ma  III <t>"

---

Settings:

• tier 4
• doubleburst on
• stepdown always

Events:
It will never have error "/ma II ", because the spells Thunder IV and Thunder III cool down fast therefore are "always" ready.

---

To work around it, I have set "stepdown never", so it will swap to another spell to double burst.

What areas was this happening in? Solo, party, full alliance?
It tried to make this happen spamming SCH scs and during a Dyna run trying with T6/5/4/3 and never had this happen. With multiple SCs popping back to back it would go all the way down to T2 spells without missing any.
I'm wondering if lag was a factor, or if I accidently fixed this when sorting out another issue.
If you try the most recently pushed version and it's still happening do
//amb debug
//amb toggle spell
//amb toggle weather

It'll spam your logs a bit but hopefully it'll also narrow down exactly where it's failing to choose a spell.
And tell me if there's anything really odd in there.

I finally got this to replicate. Though I was on Nin when it happened.
Sadly it was so intermittent that I couldn't put together a specific set of events to make it happen regularly.
I'm gonna keep watching to see if I can pick out a pattern though.

Yeah I was never able to get this to occur in a way that helped me sort out what was causing it. Sadly I don't have any active accounts at the moment so I can't do much to dig into a fix. When I come back though it is for sure on my list of things to sort out.
