Problem - /mac kissassist_12001 Tank -autotarget?

[Dragonslayer]

Version of KissAssist.mac?

12001

When did your problem start?

some days ago

Character Role?

1. Tank

What class is having this issue?

1. Shadow Knight

How often does this issue occur?

Always

Can you reproduce the issue?

yes, whenever i try to change target, my tank may choose to switch back/ will switch back if a named is somewhere around

The title already describes, what I would like to achive. I am going to describe it in more details.

Actually I am totally happy with EQ and kissassist. I have a nice party of ppl, with which I play at set times. Thanks to kissassist I can now progress my main and my alts, even while the people I play most with are not online. This brought me to a point, where I now have a team of 6 chars, who, thanks to kissassist I can play all together. I can go to any Zone in Tov and hunt down the nameds .... so I am actually doing the Hunter Quest for all of them.
As the team grows up and get stronger, I would like to try to set my feets also into the hero tasks. To be able to do that I need to adopt the functionallity of the Tank:

/mac kissassist_12001 tank
Usually I play the Tank flagged as ma and let the other assist him. What I would like to change to the Tank-role: stop the behavior to autotarget the mobs ... I would like to be able to control at any given time, which mob to target / switch target at my will at any time, even to be able to swap target from a "named" to a trash of my will.

What I tried so far: /backoff, /switchnow and combinations of them. I cannot achive that the tank switches target and stays on the new given target. IF thers a named around he insists to focus on the named.

Than I tried to change approach:

/mac kissassist_12001 manual +2 socials


those get written in the mq2-window when I push the buttons, but have no effect.
than I tried a more standard approach:

create a social in the eq-way:
/pause 10, /togglevariable AggroOn 1
/pause 10, /togglevariable peton 1
.
.

If I try this, only the first line is echoed with the acknowledgement: "Setting (AggroOn) to (on)" ... the following lines are seemingly ignored.


Finally here are my Questions:
Is it possible to achive the behavior "/mac kissassist_12001 tank -autotarget" starting with the approach "/mac kissassist_12001 manual"?
Which variables on top off the ones I could find and list above I would need to toggle?
What is the right syntax to toggle all of them with 1 Button to push?


Thanks to those who took the time to read all of this stuff ant maybe even think about my questions

you can turn on targetswitchingon=1 in your kiss ini, which will allow your tank to change its target

If your are running mq2melee that will focus on a named till it is dead.

What both @Sic and @jande said! I use Kiss 12 and I have target switching turned on but I do not use Mq2melee. I play my SK in the Tank role. When I want to switch targets I frequently will need to click on the new target 4, 5, even 6 times but it will eventually stick on the target I want. This is critical for events like AoW where you absolutely need to dps down the adds and get off the AoW.

I had already
UseMQ2Melee=0
but changed
TargetSwitchingOn=1

made some tests: seems now its working as I want it to do. tyvm
