Advanced Assist button. (1 Viewer)

It's nothing big, but I find this little snippet invaluable in raids and groups (and when soloing).

Create a new hotkey for assisting, just like you'd create any hotkey (social hotbutton).
Give it whatever name you wish ("Assist" would be a good name ), then paste the following into the first macro line:

/assist ${If[${Target.ID},,${If[${Raid.Members},raid,${If[${Group.Members},group,]}]}]}

If you can't paste inside EQ, go into options (Ctrl+O), under the "Keys" tab select the category "UI". Scroll down and find the 4th last entry called "Paste from Clipboard". Set whatever key combo you wish, Ctrl+V is a good choice. Now you can psate stuff in EQ where the cursor is active.


Okay, the code line is really simple.
If you have a target, it will /assist your target (just regular /assist with no parameters).
If you're in a raid (and have no target), it will /assist raid.
If you're in a group (and not in a raid, and have no target), it will /assist group.

Useful little code line, ELS.

Ok, When I copy/paste this on a social button, and try to use it, it says, FORMAT: /assist <name>....You must target the person you wish to assist, or type their name after the command.
Something I'm doing wrong or didn't do?

Well, if you're not in a group or raid that have group or raid assist, and you don't have anyone on target, then the line will just be "/assist" and nothing else, which will give you the error.
One of the 3 must be true for the line to work:
Have a target
Have a group assist delegated
Have a raid assist delegated

just put it in your second or third command line, in the event that there is no DMA or DRA you can use the /target *assistname* on that first line i guess, thanks for the hotkey 8-)

Good idea, I didn't even think of that.
