Question - Conditional PullWith

[blahblahblah84]

Is it possible to use a conditional PullWith in the Pull section in kissassist.ini to use a specific item to pull a specific mob?

I'm trying to complete Katka's Cause but can only pull "an unimpressed slaver" by targeting the mob and then clicking on it with "Proclamation of Rebellion". Other mobs including the named spawn required for the quest cannot be pulled with this dumb proclamation. This is a very annoying quest.

you can use the kissassist_info.ini to put in names of mobs you want to pull, and then use the pullwith, but that would only make it pullwith on the specified mobs

but you could make two pullers,

one pullertank, and one just puller

have whom ever got the device set up to pull that slaver thing only as the puller, and then your tank as pullertank to pull everything else

Thanks, I never even thought of that! That should work perfectly. Much appreciated! I'll try it out tomorrow.

hmm now that i think about, i think kissassist shared the kissassist_info.ini hmm so could be dificult

I just tried it out this morning. It works, but you have to start kiss on either the tank or the puller first, then modify the kissassist_info config file, then start kiss on the other character. That seems to be the only way to run with two different kissassist_info files. It's clumsy, but does the job

good workaround

Another way to do it would be just make a copy of kissassist.mac. Name it something like kissassistTank.mac. Go in and edit the kissassistTank.mac and change the following entry.

[CODE title="DeclareOuters"]
/declare InfoFileName string outer ${MacroName}_Info.ini
[/CODE]

To

[CODE title="DeclareOuters"]
/declare InfoFileName string outer ${MacroName}Tank_Info.ini
[/CODE]

Now start the kissassistTank.mac on your tank and then stop the macro. You should have a new KissassistTank_Info.ini file. Now edit the new file and make the changes in that file for your tank. Now just use the kissassistTank macro on your tank when needed.

another option would be to utilize the alert list system

on the puller that should pull the slaver:
/alert add 2 an unimpressed slaver

and on the pullertank to pull everything else
/alert add 1 an unimpressed slaver

list 1 is the mobs to ingore, and list 2 is the mobs to pull

so this would tell the slaver puller to only pull the slaver, and the pullertank to ignore the slaver.

the changes to the alert lists this way is only temporary, until you either end the session or use commands to change them.

but it would eliminate the need to make changes to files and what not.

Nice! I didn't realize you could do that sort of thing.
