How often does this issue occur?

Always

Can you reproduce the issue?

Yes

Maybe I am blind and/or ignorant, but I am requesting that KA core allows for StickHow settings to be changed on the fly to account for fight mechanics. It is currently not in the list of commands to be performed on the fly, but set in Melee settings in the .ini which would require you to start out with the settings in place, and if mechanics require you to change to front only, a restart of KA mid fight? Am I correct in this?

I would like a command to change StickHow settings while KA is running similar to how CWTN plugins allow this functionality. Unless of course my 1st statement applies, and then would you be so kind to point me in the right direction?

Currently, I have two .ini's set for back/front and hotkeys ready to restart mid-combat if I need to.

Thanks!

I only know this cause Lemons just mentioned it in the MA Discord channel, but you can do /varset StickHow <argument> to change it on the fly. /varset is an MQ command, so you won't find it under the KA commands.

So theoretically I could do something like this?

/multiline ; /echo Changing STICK to FRONT! ; /cwtn stickselection 1
/noparse /dgge /if (${Me.Class.ShortName.Equal[BRD]}) /varset StickHow !front 10 delaystrafe randomize moveback loose uw
/noparse /dgge /if (${Me.Class.ShortName.Equal[DRU]}) /varset StickHow !front 10 delaystrafe randomize moveback loose uw
/noparse /dgge /if (${Me.Class.ShortName.Equal[RNG]}) /varset StickHow !front 10 delaystrafe randomize moveback loose uw
/noparse /dgge /if (${Me.Class.ShortName.Equal[WIZ]}) /varset StickHow !front 10 delaystrafe randomize moveback loose uw

This, in effect, would change anyone running KA in my group (I use CWTN for other classes) to stick to the front, and then have a hotkey that would revert back to the back?

Edit - The above works perfectly and the KA toons adjust accordingly. I also have a Stick Back that also reverts back to my normal settings.

I would still like an actual command if possible because this seems like a workaround.

I would give it a try. I haven't tried that myself so can't completely vouch for it, but that looks like it could work to me.

Works!

If you just want to change StickHow use:

/togglevariable StickHow "!front 10 delaystrafe randomize moveback loose uw"

Don't forget the double quotes.
