Problem - Bots getting stuck on targets

[Myysterio]

I have an issue with bots getting stuck on targets and not swapping off.... which is a bit of a problem for my wizard and bard which tend to get stuck attacking the wrong mobs. Bard likes to run off and chase after things and wizard will keep nuking the wrong targets. This happens even if i clear target using /bcga //target clear. The target just momentarily clears and they start attacking and casting spells on the wrong mobs again. I have TargetSwitchingOn=1 on, and they work most of the time. the only way I can fix it is to reboot the INI file. Any suggestions?

/switchnow is the kissassist command to switch targets

i use the /bcga //switchnow command to force a switch if bots are on wrong mob

This happens to me as well, but it has to do with where I have my camp set up, and my AE section set to Single on all entries. My camp is right next to an NPC that gives quests and can not be attacked, but will show up on XTarget for a moment when an detrimental AE is cast close the the NPC. When that happens the Puller will lock on to the mob because he shows up in the Xtarget and My tank targeted the mob. The tank does not attack because the mob is on the MobsToIgnore list, but anything that shows up in the Xtarget can NOT be ignored regardless of being on the ignore list. I just clear my tanks target and restart my puller and all is well. I don't know why but from that point on the NPC will not aggro after that initial 1 time that he does. To fix the issue would just require me to move my tank farther away from the NPC before starting the macro.

i have a manual key that clears target and switchnow command, then another i got from Sic for manually telling them to move to my mob.l he calls it the manual assist key.

I use a hotkey /bcga //backoff 1 when I'm around npcs i dont want my group to attck. When ready to do battle, I just do /bcga //backoff 0. Also I use /bcga //mqpause on and /bcga //mqpause off when necessary, esp when around other people, or if i want to make sure I can invis the group or coth.

My toons are getting LOCKED on the npcs and monsters (and sometimes pcs). they just reacquire targets when i switch them.

Try this. The 'backoff' is for me a working solution in similar situations. As far as I understand, this clears all info about the preferred target and all assisting chars reaquire the target from the MA. In the In the INI of the MA I have set the parameter switchtarget=1, this shall allow to switch the target of the MA at will. (nevertheless you may need 2-3 attempts b4 the MA sticks to the new target)

I do that as well.

All my toons have switch targets set to 1. MA is set. They will not switch sometimes (not always) until the target is dead or I reload the ini.

the kissassist targetswitchingon is for your tank only to be able to swap targets - not for your non-assist toons to swap or otherwise

you have to use the kiss command /switchnow to make other toons switch

 

[ctaylor22]

TargetSwitchingON can only be turned on if your the MA, It is ignored for any other character/role. This may change in the future, but for now that's how it is.

Agree w/ thoughts below. KA unfortunately is Tank Centric in that regard.

It would certainly be nice if KA could follow their assist like CWTN does. It's painful to watch my bard be retarded and start following Griklor around, or sticking on Tantor running after him running after the emoted person, etc until I can focus attention to it.
We've had to make /target clear and /switchnow hotkeys to get around this.
