Ok I have two situations i'm hoping someone can help me with. First one is this, say i'm running a GD restless assault mission, using KA for my whole group, I have /chase 1 on all toons and my main tank is on hunter mode. It works well in the cave and i can clear the whole cave. Well if I happen to kickp t without /endmac on the tank, soon as I respawn in GD openworld, tank is on a mission to get back to the camp spot which is half a map away and will train every mob between here and there. :) This has caused a wipe once, another time, I was able to /endmac (but he still keeps going) and i hit evac on wiz and that stopped him. Is there a command that will stop him from moving to certain coords once he gets it in his mind?

The other case, I had turned him on hunter mode in a dungeon, and was watching them kill, well a named spawn with 4 adds, and named gets HP locked until adds are dead. Well he kept trying to kill named, only way i could do it is to /endmac and then manually target and kill adds, then kill named. Again, is there another way to handle this that is like, here is your new target, stay on this guy?

For your first issue, I would assume "/mqp on" to pause the macro would stop the moving or, at least let you then hit a movekey (w,a,s,d) to interrupt the moving.

For the 2nd issue, I think you need to have TargetSwitchingOn set to 1 (in your tank/MA .ini file). Then use /dge /switchnow 1 to have the rest of your group now switch to the MA's new target (assuming using dannet) after your MA changed to an add (and then have your MA manually target the adds until they are dead).

awesome thanks, i'll give them both a shot!
 
You need to use /nav stop to stop the tank's movement once the macro is paused or ended. The best, of course, is to pause the macro before you leave the instance, but if you forget, make a hotkey for /mqp on then /nav stop.

if you haven't gone into your /nav ui panel and changed "Break behavior" to stop, you absolutely should
