Problem - failing kissassist startup

[Crash]

Been using kissassist a few months it has been great. I have now added a new member to the group with similar name (older toon been waiting for new toons to catch up). The problem I'm looking to resolve is when I start Kissassist I use:
/bcg //target Makeit
/bcg //mac kissassist
So what I am seeing I have a toon named Makeit as ma and a toon named Makitpet.
I get error as cant target self because even though I do target Makeit targeting targets Makeitpet by all group members.
Looking for a way to start kissassist without windowing to each toon and manually target the ma.

what i usually do is something like /mac kissassist assist ${Group.MainTank} 99

Would I just do similar for my other social target keys then? I cant target the shortname toon while running eqbc2 it seems. it always targets toon with the longer name.
Thank you for the quick response.

/mac kissassist assist pc Makeit 99

/mac kissassist assist pc Makeit 99

Try:
/mac kissassist assist ma Makeit 99
or
/mac kissassist assist ma ${Group.MainTank} 99

I would posit that you're spelling your tank's name wrong then? Or they're not present at any rate, because the TLO contains PC names as an acceptable flag, so looking for "pc nincompoop" would look for any pc by the name nincompoop in the zone and try to execute the code. A NULL return indicates it cannot find anyone by that name. That's my understanding of it at any rate. I use this functionality 20+ times a day, and I quite frequently type it by hand, and the only times it fails is because I have a typo or a missing toon.

ya I have similar problem, and the suggested changes don't work.

I have 2 toons with names structured thus:
warrior
warriorhealer

both /mac kissassist assist ${Group.MainTank} 99 and /mac kissassist assist ma Makeit 99 suggestions still will target the healer's name not warrior. I noticed this when i first started trying KA12 beta. clearly still present issue with how it identifies names.

I think the problem has to do with using the EQ /assist command using the name. Kiss uses the /assist ${MainAssist} and EQ does NOT do an exact match, but uses the first match it finds in the spawn table. The spawn table is normally in order by distance. the closer the spawn the lower in the list. I can change the /assist command to target the mainassist first and then use the /assist command. That should fix the issue.
So if you want to give it a try. Then any where in the macro(2 places) change this:

/assist ${MainAssist}

to this:

/target id ${Spawn[=${MainAssist}].ID}
/delay 10 ${Target.ID}==${Spawn[=${MainAssist}].ID}
/assist

So just remove that 1 line and add the 3 new lines.
