Question - KA9 AdvPath Pulling

[alwayssunny]

Clearly I need some help, I cannot get this thing to work. It just runs the path and doesn't pull a dang thing. Then it targets a mob at the other end of the path and just sits there.

First don't use Melee for pulling. Make sure your path runs away from camp and the end of the path is relatively the farthest WP from camp. What command did you use to save your path? If you need too, post your ini and that will help us a lot.

I used /record then /record save name 30

When you start your pull you need to /mac kissassist puller path pathname (i.e on my SK )

/mac kissassist pullertank path test1

If he just sits there and targets mobs but does not go anywhere,
/end
/play pathname normal (i.e /play test1 normal)

when he gets to the end, just run him back to the group and try starting KA again (/mac kissassist puller path pathname).

Special Note: If you puller is running the path, i haven't found a way to stop him mid path (especially if he is just on /play pathname). Hitting /end to end mac doesn't stop him. I have gotten him to stop running the path by having my mage summon him, but that isn't always a feasible option (1st off you have to have a mage).

Now i KNOW this does work (it does have a few bugs yet) as I have 3 groups running using the MQ2AdvPath pulling.

/play off <=== That will stop AdvPath from playing the current path. Add it to your /endmacro hotkey.

Maskoi,
This is a great enhancement. I made two errors in setting it up but when corrected, I was very much in awe. My first error was I ended my path too close to the beginning. The toon just went to the end and considered the pathing complete. I deleted a few way points and that cleared that up. NOTE I believe there is a way to turn smart option off and force the toon to run the entire path but I use smart in other macros and do not want to forget to turn it back on. The second mistake was I was targeting mobs under water along the way. Since I cannot cast from surface to underwater it was snagging up. I simply adjusted my zaxis, MaxZRange=10, to a low enough range where it avoided targeting them.

I do recognize excellence when I see it.


As always,
Playbetter

Just a note: if you make a turn to sharply ( I.e U-Turn thru a hallway) and you get any lag, the puller will "derail" off the path. Would happen anytime the puller was not the top level window or if I got a lag spike near the "curve" while pulling.
If you easy gliding curves or nothing more than a 90 degree bend, I don't seem to see this issue.
(Puller is unmounted but using SOW).

Also, just a reminder, if puller is just standing there, the play routine can get stuck (toggled) in either normal or reverse mode (as CT has pointed out to me). So just hit play pathname reverse if standing at the end of the path, or /play pathname normal if at the beginning to reset that toggle.
