[jsr09]

Version of KissAssist.mac?

12

When did your problem start?

Beginning

Character Role?

1. Assist

What class is having this issue?

1. Bard

How often does this issue occur?

Always

Can you reproduce the issue?

Everytime i do /mac kissassit it comes up with the error

 

[toadwart]

do you have any conditions or docommand entries in the ini for the toon that uses that variable? that would be my first check

 

[Sic]

we would need to know what the undefined variable is.

if it is something sensitive you could say something like "it is my maintank's name" instead of actually providing your main tank's name for example

 

[jsr09]

It is one of my dps names that's the variable

 

[jsr09]

Now i dont know if it makes a difference but i just switch to MQnext

 

[toadwart]

It would not. Have you verified that dps name is not used in one of your ini's, and if it is, did you spell it correctly, and is the punctuation around it correct?

 

[jsr09]

It isnt used. I use Sic's 115 COV bard currently

 

[kaen01]

if you have a variable ${kaen01} you also need to have that defined somewhere

 

[Sic]

this sounds like a variable is trying to be observed before it is defined, which will then "lock it"

I shouldnt have anything like that in there. I've not changed anything with the original format of it.

 

[toadwart]

So, just to verify...If you go to your bard and type

/mac kissassist tank

for instance, it crashes with the error messages you've input above?

 

[toadwart]

only if he's doing something different than every other KA user out there AN. I hear what you're saying, but I use KA every day, I never get that message. So he's got a different version, a bad setting, or he's executing different. I'm just trying to verify we're on the same page.

 

[jsr09]

please forgive me guys, Im not very fluent in this. When i target my MA and type /mac kissassist is when i get the error

do you have anything else setup - like boxhud, or an mq2hud, or using something that might be trying to create dannet queries?

 

[jsr09]

i am using boxhud on the toon that I drive

This sounds like a plugin issue. The error is getting thrown from kiss, but those 2 lines that are throwing errors have no reference to a variable. SO a plugin is crapping out on some thing and throwing the error from kiss.

 

[jsr09]

so everytime i unload dannet it works just fine until i zone again then have to unload dannet again. Problem is cant use the boxhud without it

DanNet frequently traps errors thrown from other plugins. It would be interesting to see what plugins you have loaded. You can get a list from your session and either extract it from your server_character.log file (using /mlog on and /mlog off) in your Next\logs folder, or just expand the in-game MQ status window and grab a screen snip. Sometimes you have to /plugin bad_plugin unload and get MQ down to the bare minimum to clear up errors.

this is the issue

@Sic is rarely wrong. To me that means one of the various INI files in use by KissAssist must be corrupted in some fashion that results in the macro or a plugin trying to interpret it as a variable.

I'd start over with a pristine Kiss character INI file and see if the problem persists. If it does then Kiss is not part of the problem and MQNext probably needs a clean reinstallation.

i'm wrong plenty, however, the issue as explained by knightly > here < is that an unused variable can get "locked out"

The lines that were being referenced with errors, don't have any variables in them, so the error is being caused outside of the macro, and in most cases that would be a plugin. Regardless of what is causing the error, it is not something that is wrong with the macro. I guess that was the point I was trying to make.

aye for sure don't think this kiss's fault (despite other things someone said above to say it was)

I agree, however the collective "We" hasn't really been offering the OP some path toward fixing or resolving the issues.
