Psychoanima and Hysteroanima usage by Trust: Prishe II

[CatsEyeXI]

While trying to put this trust together, I've come across an interesting problem.
One of Prishe II's gimmicks, is that she has one-time use items that she uses under certain conditions:

1. Psychoanima will be used once she's below 40%
2. Hysteroanima will be used if she's targetted with a big nuke

My current method for handling this feature includes creating the gambit as usual, and having a listener remove it once it's used:

    local itemTwoGambit   = mob:addSimpleGambit(ai.t.SELF, ai.c.HPP_LT, 35, ai.r.MS, ai.s.SPECIFIC, psychoAnima, 300)
    local psychoAnima     = 1488

    mob:addSimpleGambit(ai.t.SELF, ai.c.HPP_LT, 35, ai.r.MS, ai.s.SPECIFIC, psychoAnima, 300)

    mob:addListener('WEAPONSKILL_USE', 'ANIMA_USED', function(mobArg, target, wsid, tp, action)
        if wsid == psychoAnima then
            mob:removeSimpleGambit(itemTwoGambit)
        end
    end)

One alternative I tried, was setting a local var on Prishe when she executes this skill, then checking for it in the onMobSkillCheck of the mobskill script, but it seems like this function is ignored entirely for trusts (I tested this adding a print to the onMobSkillCheck of Provoke, and having Valaineral use it (no print).

How would you like me to handle this case?

You can see Prishe II use this ability below at the 5:35 marker:

I quite like the removal of the gambit in the listener 👍

well, i thought i had a grip on this. But, as soon as she uses another mobskill the gambit is reset and she'll use psychoanima again.

spellObject.onMobSpawn = function(mob)
    local psychoAnima  = 3539
    local hysteroAnima = 3540

    xi.trust.teamworkMessage(mob, {
        -- Offets for Lion II and Iroha II messages appear to be incorrect.
        [xi.magic.spell.NASHMEIRA_II] = xi.trust.messageOffset.TEAMWORK_2,
        [xi.magic.spell.LILISETTE_II] = xi.trust.messageOffset.TEAMWORK_3,
        [xi.magic.spell.ARCIELA_II] = xi.trust.messageOffset.TEAMWORK_4,
    })

    mob:addSimpleGambit(ai.t.SELF, ai.c.HPP_LT, 35, ai.r.MS, ai.s.SPECIFIC, psychoAnima)
    mob:addSimpleGambit(ai.t.PARTY, ai.c.HPP_LT, 25, ai.r.MA, ai.s.HIGHEST, xi.magic.spellFamily.CURAGA)
    mob:addSimpleGambit(ai.t.PARTY, ai.c.STATUS, xi.effect.SLEEP_I, ai.r.MA, ai.s.SPECIFIC, xi.magic.spell.CURAGA)
    mob:addSimpleGambit(ai.t.PARTY, ai.c.STATUS, xi.effect.SLEEP_II, ai.r.MA, ai.s.SPECIFIC, xi.magic.spell.CURAGA)

    mob:addListener('WEAPONSKILL_STATE_EXIT', 'ANIMA_USED', function(mobArg, wsid)
        local itemOneGambit = mobArg:addSimpleGambit(ai.t.SELF, ai.c.HPP_LT, 35, ai.r.MS, ai.s.SPECIFIC, psychoAnima)
        -- local itemTwoGambit   = mobArg:addSimpleGambit(ai.t.SELF, ai.c.HPP_LT, 35, ai.r.MS, ai.s.SPECIFIC, psychoAnima) -- TODO: Finish

        if wsid == psychoAnima then
            print(itemOneGambit)
            mobArg:removeSimpleGambit(itemOneGambit)
        end

        if wsid == hysteroAnima then
            mobArg:removeSimpleGambit(itemTwoGambit)
        end
    end)

    -- Receives a 10% Bonus to HP and MP
    mob:setMod(xi.mod.MPP, 150)

    mob:updateHealth()

    mob:addHP(mob:getMaxHP())
    mob:addMP(mob:getMaxMP())

    mob:setTrustTPSkillSettings(ai.tp.ASAP, ai.s.RANDOM)
end

My understanding (and I've never observed this trust do their thing) was that they are spawned with all of their gambits, and they're removed once they're used. Why are you re-adding inside the listener? itemOneGambit = mobArg:addSimpleGambit

[zach2good]

    local itemOneGambit = mob:addSimpleGambit(ai.t.SELF, ai.c.HPP_LT, 35, ai.r.MS, ai.s.SPECIFIC, psychoAnima)
    mob:addSimpleGambit(ai.t.PARTY, ai.c.HPP_LT, 25, ai.r.MA, ai.s.HIGHEST, xi.magic.spellFamily.CURAGA)
    mob:addSimpleGambit(ai.t.PARTY, ai.c.STATUS, xi.effect.SLEEP_I, ai.r.MA, ai.s.SPECIFIC, xi.magic.spell.CURAGA)
    mob:addSimpleGambit(ai.t.PARTY, ai.c.STATUS, xi.effect.SLEEP_II, ai.r.MA, ai.s.SPECIFIC, xi.magic.spell.CURAGA)

   -- TODO: You can either store itemOneGambit in a localvar (since its a string) for maximum safety, or you can just capture it in the lambda of the listener: lifetimes aren't important for simple types

    mob:addListener('WEAPONSKILL_STATE_EXIT', 'ANIMA_USED', function(mobArg, wsid)
        -- extract or capture itemOneGambit

        if wsid == psychoAnima then -- Its OK to call remove multiple times, if its not there then its inert
            print(itemOneGambit)
            mobArg:removeSimpleGambit(itemOneGambit)
        end
    end)
