Question - I'm getting confused with setting up group roles.

[Kae]

Okay few questions in one here. Was going absolutely great until I tried to set up a puller and a tank (using kissassist). Beforehand I was just using my main tank as 'assist' with the macro

/bca //mac kissassist assist X

and then manually driving the tank (with no macro / KA profile). I want to drive one of the casters now but need to setup a pull / tank order.

I have a Ranger I have set to pull with Snare.
I have a Shadow Knight I want to be main tank and main assist.
I have a group of supporting DPS etc.

First question, if I press 'Come to Me' how do I stop if I change my mind? My character will simply not divert trying to get to XYZ even after typing /end and stopping any macro running.

Second question, once my Ranger pulls the mob back into the camp, how do I make it so the tank picks it up and then people start to assist off of the tank when it reaches the % threshhold (currently at 95%).

I'm getting confused with the /mac kissassist 'Puller' and /mac kissassist 'Tank' and then /mac kissassist 'Assist' because you have to target different people whilst clicking your own character and then writing it into an individual MQ window based on the character. Super confusing. What role needs what and what command needs to be typed for the character / role I'm playing on?

I've read the KissAssist Instructions but it's getting late and it's not sinking in properly.

this is kaen's hotkey thing to make some "STOPALL" buttons

/hot StopMe 13 /squelch /multiline ; /afollow off; /stick off; /moveto off; /nav stop; /play off

/hot StopAll 13 /bcaa //squelch /multiline ; /afollow off; /stick off; /moveto off; /nav stop; /play off

/hot StopGrp 13 /bcga //squelch /multiline ; /afollow off; /stick off; /moveto off; /nav stop; /play off

Couple of Questions first: Are you on MQNext or Live?
Are you using any of the CWTN plugins?

These 2 questions will help us figure out how best to answer your questions and provide some help for ya.

Other things we might need to look at is you KissAssist InI file for the characters.

Happy New Years to ya.

Tanks tank. Pullers pull. Everyone else assists.

The syntax:
/mac kissassist [KissRole] [AssistsName]


For your scenario:
The ShadowKnight will run: /mac kissassist tank

Ranger will run: /mac kissassist puller SKNameGoHere
or Ranger will target the ShadowKnight and then: /mac kissassist puller

Everyone else will run: /mac kissassist assist SKNameGoHere
or everyone else will target the ShadowKnight and then: /mac kissassist assist

You can also edit each character's KissAssist_CharName.ini file and set the Role there if they aren't going to change. I use two hotkeys to get going- the first has everyone target my SK, and the second has the toons I run KA on run /mac kissassist

You can condense that and eliminate the risk of a bad targeting issue by putting your tank's name in your first hotkey. If your tank's name is Rand you can have a hotkey on your tank's bar like this:

/mac KissAssist tank Rand
/bcg //mac KissAssist Rand 99

If Rand uses that hotkey, it will start him up in tank mode, then tell the rest of your group to start up in assist mode and assist Rand at 99%.
