Circle not starting (reliably)

[playj]

Having a problem with circle not starting, sometimes it starts, sometimes it does not, sometimes moving a little forward does the trick of starting, sometimes it does not

Running Redquest 5.2
Plugins used:
MQ2AdvPath (taking it off didn't help )
MQ2Twist
MQ2MoveUtils

This is what I came up as a temporary stop gap measure:

	:DotStart
	/echo Starting DotSub
	
	/plugin mq2twist unload
	/delay 3s
	/plugin mq2twist
	/delay 3s
	
	:MoveUtils
	/plugin mq2moveutils unload
	/delay 5s
	/plugin mq2moveutils
	/delay 5s
	/echo plugins hopefully alright
	/twist off
	/delay 8
	/echo let's try circling
	/circle on 50 -328 126

	/echo SHOULD be circling normally
	/delay 50
	/if (${Me.Moving} == FALSE) {
		/circle unpause
		/echo trying to unpause not that it helps any
	}
	/delay 20
	/if (${Me.Moving} == FALSE) {
		/mqlog not moving ${Time.Time24} ${Time.Date}
		/echo movement equal to ${Me.Moving} ${Time.Time24} ${Time.Date} 
		/goto :MoveUtils
	}

	| Start of Dot Twist

Using this method it takes me about 50-60mins to start each circle(checked logs), not sure what else to try.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You don't need to unload and reload all of your plugins. When you want to stop your circle, /circle off. When you want to start it, /stick off, then /circle on.

I am not sure, but try changing "moving" to "Speed"

/if (!${Me.Speed}) {

Moving might be an animation based test which could cause misreadings based from lag.

Also, the unload and load of the plugin should work fine with a 1s delay (never had a problem with it or even no delay).

You don't need to unload and reload all of your plugins. When you want to stop your circle, /circle off. When you want to start it, /stick off, then /circle on.

My version may be outdated, I always get stuck with auto run turned on when I "/circle off" so I have to press a key to stop the run. Then when I start the circle again it doesnt set the autorun back on and just sits there and turns in place.

My advice is make sure you have a very good copy of MQ2moveutiles.ini the new compiles don't have it and I had the exact same problem till I finally got a good copy of the .ini file now I works 100% of the time... do a search for it and see if you find it here if not PM me and I will get it to you.

Excellent, could you attach it to thread for us

Will be nice to not have to reload the thing everytime.

Gracias

Thanks for all the advice guys! Gave plenty of room for thought.

I ended up going with the obvious..
namely adding

/keypress forward hold after starting circle

that seems to do the trick (also added /keypress forward to the start of my get new mission sub in case /keypress forward hold stays stuck while zoning)

As for mq2moveutils.ini file this is the default one that I just generated using
/circle save

[Defaults]
AutoPause=on
ManualPause=on
BreakOnWarp=on
BreakDist=250.0
BreakOnGate=on
Verbosity=1
stuckDist=0.1
turnDirection=10.0
stuckCheck=5
StuckLogic=on
LeashLength=0.0
CampRadius=0.0
MinDelay=500
MaxDelay=5000

anything there which would be advisable to change?
