I’m not sure how much other dev’s use chatgpt/copilot, but figured I’d mention it here.
In learning the KA syntax over the past week or so I’ve found chatGPT to be extremely helpful. If anyone else is starting off with KA it may help you also.
The functionality chatGPT provides is sort of like an assistant who is pretty smart but you can’t always rely on being accurate. Some jobs I’ve asked it for help with have been along the lines of “how can I add a mez section into my bards .ini for kissassist”.
You can also copy a full .ini that you’ve grabbed from the library into chatgpt and ask it questions about each section. One handy but I’ve used it for in other situations in the past is optimizing code, and it seems to work well with KA ini’s too.
Anyhow, if you are new to KA (or like the idea of a little help) give chatGPT a try. The older (3.5) version is free and easy to use.

ctaylor22 updated KissAssist with a new update entry:
More Power! Well for some DPS casters, but not everyone.

That error is only generated when the spell can not be found as an AA or in your spell book. From what I can see it should be Spelled like this.

Hi All,
I'd like to report what I think is a bug, but I have a workaround. I like to set everyone with GroupWatchOn=1|60, and my workaround is to turn GroupWatchOn off for everyone but the MA.
The issue is when I'm playing manually with a few automated people in the group helping out. After I have a death, and the newly rezzed character is OOM, the automated folks will flat out refuse to fight until everyone ready (>60% mana and endurance). I myself don't care about the low mana guy being available or not, so I go ahead and pull to start the next fight, and all my automated guys just stand around complaining that the group isn't ready to fight yet (I forget the exact quote in the output window).
It seems to me like the first three rules of automation should be:
1. Don't talk about automation.
2. Don't talk about automation.
3. Help out whenever there is a fight taking place.
I'm not a big fan of my workaround because it is yet another thing to change if I decide to switch around who is MA, or have someone solo that is normally not an MA, or whatever.
Thanks.

is there a way to tone down my guys being very interested in activating every environmental item we get near, example doors, lift buttons, sometimes even zoning out through clickable portals when I'm close to them but not wanting to zone?
That's actually not a KISS function, it's part of MQ2Nav...
Go to your EQ button --> MacroQuest --> Settings --> Plugins --> Nav, there you will find some check boxes related to doors, play around with them and see if it helps.
Having a huge issue with my bard's melee. He will be meleeing away, and when we switch mobs he wont come to me, or he will try and path directly to the mob and runinto things while meleeing nothing and get stuck on things. It doesnt seem to be assisting, naving to target, then meleeing. It will run into a wall dead on and get hung up either cause its trying to run into the wall directly, or falls off the mesh.

Your MeleeDistance is way too large. Your bard is going to run out of camp and try to meet the mob before it gets there. Also, your NAV mesh for the zone might need work if you're running into walls and stuff. No amount of KA tweaking can overcome a poor zone mesh although sometimes shrinking the character and clicking off any sort of Levi will help.

I don't camp, I hunt/chase. and it doesn't matter it happens everywhere. Instead of naving to the target, the bard is just turning on attack and running into shit.
There are no nav errors, Its simply turning on auto attack and trying to run directly at its target which is getting it stuck on things.
Also, its not a bard issue, I just only use KA on my bard.
I see you have LOSBeforeCombat turned on. Are you getting the "Get Combat Position Failed. Target is too far away or Not ready to attack." message? Also your Melee and camp radius may be a bit high and that could be contributing to the problem.

The GetCombatPosition routine is called, just before the Combat routine is called. The message happens when either the Mob is still too far away(MeleeDistance) or the mobs HP are not low enough(AssitAt). So reducing your MeleeDistance could help. Once in the combat routine the stick routine is used to move melee characters into position(StickHow) and turn on stick and Attack. Non melee characters don't use the Stick routine.
You could try using a COMMAND: entry in the DPS section to get positioning when needed.
DPS1=Command:/call GetCombatPosition 1|99|Cond14
Cond14=${MyTargetID} && !${Spawn[${MyTargetID}].LineOfSight}
I would be very careful with this. The argument passed to the GetCombatPosition routine can be a 0 or 1. Passing a 1 will tell the routine to ignore where the mob is and just take off after the mob, so if the character takes off running across the zone to meet the mob on incoming then I would either modify the Condition to include more checks to keep the DPS1 entry from getting executed or pass a 0 and not a 1. If you pass a 0 then the routine will check if the mob is within MeleeDistance before moving the character into position.
I have never tested using a /call as part of a command entry, so this may not even work, but I can't see why it wouldn't.

Never mind. Forgot to do a MQP on before the twist off.
same KA as above, all i did was change LOSBeforeCombat=0, ran it a couple times, and switched it back to =1 and now it wont engage for crap while on /chase. Half the time it just stands there and watches and does nothing, the other half its engaging somewhere between 70 and 1% life with autoattack on. Group moves, and it will follow, but not always engage in combat.

That is a symptom of your various distance settings not working well together. It's unfortunate, but those settings that work fine when you have a traditional "camp" location do not always work when you also factor in the chase distance you are away from your tank.
I usually run my tank semi-manually and when I engage while moving I will back my tank up closer to my group so they will engage correctly.
It could be a couple things. Post your ini file and I am sure we can find a fix.
I have, its above. I made no changes.
Yes, but they are both like 200. I tried adjusting them both manually in game and nothing helped other than dragging the mob next to the bard.
Sorry, I must of scrolled past it. Make these changes in your melee and it should fix things. Yes, StickHow=Null will work
[Melee]
AssistAt=99
MeleeOn=1
FaceMobOn=1
MeleeDistance=75
StickHow=Null
If the character is attacking the mob when the mob comes into melee range, then the only thing I can think of is you need to make sure that CampRadius is less than MeleeDistance. If CampRadius is greater than or equal to MeleeDistance then the character will NOT move to the mob. That is by design, so check your settings. Just to test I would set CampRadius=35 and MeleeDistance=75 and increase MeleeDistance if needed. Another thing to consider is when you are in chase mode. When in chase mode the characters current .X, .Y, .Z is used as their Camp Location, and when checking if the character is ready to move to the mob, before attacking, is determined based on the Mobs position/distance from the MA. When the mobs is CampRadius close to the MA then the character should move to engage. When ReturnToCamp is on ChaseAssist should be off, and when ChaseAssist is on ReturnToCamp should be off. There is only one situation where both ReturnToCamp and ChaseAssist should both be off and that is when using the /waithere command. But never should both ReturnToCamp and ChaseAssist be on at the same time. If you are using the /waithere command. Then you should be using either the /chase or /camphere commands to recover.
Ive set campradius and melee distance as high as 400 and as low as 40 and it didn't solve my problem. spent about an hour messing with it yesterday.
When there's a camp set, its a bit slow to react, but it does what its supposed to do, it only does this on chase. On second thought it kinda does it when there's no camp set but you're not really going anywhere as well, but they are likely related.
Edit: Ive also noticed it wont stick most of the time even when it is attacking the mob, will stand right next to tank and not go to the rear.

Every time I try to start kissassist I'm getting this type or error Undefined Variable mq used on line... The line number changes ever time I restart the macro. I will post a few examples. I have tried taking a few Bard ini files out of the repository and trying a few version I have in backup files nothing seem to help.

this means you have *something* using "mq" as a variable like ${mq} --- this is often something in boxhud, or mq2hud or something else like that

Should I be able to just stop the plugin and try running kissassist or will I need to re-log to do testing?

@Sic @ Ctaylor22 Thank you both for the quick response.
It looks like it was something with mq2custombinds.
Problem went away after I unloaded this plugin.
Reloaded my macroquest.ini from a backup and restarted with mq2custombinds running and everything is good now.

I have the same issue and i dont have mq2custombinds on... not sure if someone did something automatically behind the scenes, but i still have the problem :/
