Question - Can't Manual Switch Target

[MetalJacx]

I am running /mac kissassist manual followed by /buffson /dpson 2. I also have TargetSwitchingOn=1 and UseMQ2Melee=0. My problem is it won't let me switch targets as I am manually controlling. I will click another mob and then it will immediately switch back. I think this is because I am Nine boxing and you can't MA in a Raid on EMU? Is this correct, anyone have a work around?

I seem to recall reading about this somewhere. It involved turning off attack and clearing current target. Then picking your next target. Perhaps this might work for you.

Its not that I want the whole party to switch. When doing multiple pulls I need to build aggro on multiple mobs. Being locked in makes this a struggle. I can use the backoff command but that cause my other guys to stop which i do not want.

Is it possible for you to set MA to another and MT to your puller? I do see above that you state or question about having an MA in a Raid on EMU. I am not familiar with this.

In EMU you can't assign Roles in a Raid only a group of 6. If there was a way to stop relying on MA so much on EMU I think this would open up a bunch options.(I know there is some CTWN issues once a raid is made on EMUs) I haven't looked at the logic, but the ability to switch targets tied to the MA role when running on Manual just seems silly, but this is only an assumption. I have tried all sorts of combinations though and have not been able to get it to work in current form.
As I look through the code in the .MAC. I am thinking about changing or removing lines with Target switching that are define as such:
/if (!${IAmMA} && ${TargetSwitchingOn}) /varset TargetSwitchingOn 0
but either removing the MA requirement or changing the IamMA to Character.Name.

are you using mq2melee? if so, turn that off

Yeah, mq2melee is off.


[CODE lang="ini" title="melee"]AssistAt=100
MeleeOn=1
FaceMobOn=1
MeleeDistance=75
StickHow=snaproll
AutoFireOn=0
UseMQ2Melee=0
TargetSwitchingOn=1
PetTauntOverride=0[/CODE]

i read your usemq2melee=0 in your first post, i just meant in general - that nothing else is loading it - that thing is sure a pain, but your thought process about the IAmMA thing with emu is probably spot on

Some of my other toons use mq2melee. You think that might be a problem as it is loaded for some but not others? I will test that now with 2 person raid.

Ok so i got myself to switch targets. If I add the following. /varset IAmMA 1

        } else /if (${Role.Equal[manual]}) {
            /if (${UseMQ2Melee}) /squelch /melee aggro=0
            /varset IAmMA 1
            /varset MeleeOn 0
            /varset ReturnToCamp 0
            /varset ChaseAssist 0
            /varset DPSOn 2
            /varset BuffsOn 0
            /varset DebuffAllOn 0
            /if (${Defined[HealsOn]}) /varset HealsOn 0
            /if (${Defined[MezOn]}) /varset MezOn 0

Edit:
BUT..... not it will not run through the define dps cycle. Even though the return value for DPSOn = 2.
This was due to the target dummy not getting added to the XTAR. Real Mob added to XTAR and DPS Works.

Two New Issues to Figure out:
1. If I start up my toon with manual first, all other toon who try to start kissassist give error WARNING: Undefined Variable LootOn used on line [email protected] /doevents flush, but if I start all assist toons first and then manual everyone works.
2.The assist toons automatically switch when I switch. I do not want this function. I want to them to stay on current target as I switch to grab aggro on other mobs. They should only switch when leverage /switchnow command
