Question - Kiss Assist... assisting main assist only, not who I have it set to assist

[Cupcake]

Had this happen the other day and it surprised me.

kiss is only assisting who ever the group designated assist is, not who I have targeted when I start up kiss..

is there an off switch for that? I would like Kiss to assist specifically who I have targeted when I start.

Does not appear to be any switch to enable/disable this.

Line 1397 in kissassist.mac (latest 9.0) is where the re-target to Group MA's target takes place. The only way to avoid this is to either change MA to your assist, or customize your kissassist in this section.

		/if  (${Spawn[=${MainAssist}].ID} && ${Group.MainAssist.ID}) {
			/if (${Target.ID}!=${Me.GroupAssistTarget.ID} && ${Group.MainAssist.ID}!=${Me.ID}) {
				/if (${MyTargetID}!=${Me.GroupAssistTarget.ID} && ${Spawn[id ${Me.GroupAssistTarget.ID} npc].ID}) {
					/echo My target does not match MA's. Switching to new target.
					/varset MyTargetID ${Me.GroupAssistTarget.ID}
					/varset MyTargetName ${Spawn[id ${Me.GroupAssistTarget.ID}].CleanName}
				}

Can always use the assist parm:

/mac kissassist assist Bob

Providing that it still works and wont override it with MA.

The code overrides that, and goes explicitly off group MA, overriding KA's MA. It looks like this was changed with 9.0.8, you could probably run an older version to work around it, until Maskoi or ctaylor22 can comment on if this was intended or not.

Yea, That is new code that was snuck in buy you know who. That's is the first time I have seen this code. CupCake is correct it should use the designated target as ma and assist off that character regardless of what character in the group is MA. Will put it on the list...
