MQ2Assist

MQ2Assist - Updated 7/28/06 - 8:00PM CST

Usage: Overrides your EQ /assist command so that you can /assist from anywhere in the zone. This does not Ghost you, however you could probably use it with that.

Known Issues:

- All of you who have used MQ2 have noticed once in a while that it make take a moment to refresh your map for player positions. This issue is even known with not using MQ for the new show group members option. If you were to target via your map, sometimes it does not always assist right away. I'll be working on this to see if there's something that I can't do to try and fix it. Otherwise, its fairly easy to use during a simple group or major raid, and seems to have no real problems, when you have someone to set as a main assist and you have a hotkey defined. Lag intensive zones like The Devastation seem to cause this issue when map targeting. I suggest for now, if you're having this issue to please use /target (playername) -or your choice of how you'd like to target them-, then assist. Thank you to Devlin for this information.

Minor bug reported, however it works decently in most all zones. Deleting this post when TP gives me some info.

 

[vearroyo]

props if you wrote this. but there are a few errors in that code you posted. and shouldnt build on 2k3 with out alot of spam.

 

[Tonka Trucks]

Aye. I did build this in 2k5. Any suggestions to help out would be appreciated.
