Question - /noparse question (1 Viewer)

There are two variables in KissAssist that are set with /noparse

/noparse /varset AggroTargetID ${If[${Me.XTarget[${XTSlot}].ID},${Me.XTarget[${XTSlot}].ID},${If[${AggroTargetID2},${AggroTargetID2},0]}]}
/noparse /varset PullAggroTargetID ${If[${ChainPull}==0,${Me.XTarget[${XTSlot}].ID},${If[${Me.XTarget[${XTSlot}].ID} && (${Me.XTarget[${XTSlot}].ID}==${MyTargetID} || ${Me.XTarget[${XTSlot}].ID}!=${BeginMobID} || ${Me.XTarget[${XTSlot2}].ID}),${MyTargetID},0]}]}

These two variables are used in many places throughout Kiss... but they are only /varset this one time, and this section of the code is only read on initialization. From the looks of it, it seems that the /noparse command seems to set the variable and it is somehow continuously updated per the logic in the line.

Is that correct? I can't seem to find a longer explanation of the /noparse command that illuminates the issue.

Thanks!

Did you read this? https://www.redguides.com/docs/projects/macroquest/reference/commands/noparse/

Ahhhh.... I had not seen that. I understand now. Yes, it is acting as I thought it might. Got it.

It's like a mini subroutine that looks like a variable...

And You are correct. The AggroTargetID variable holds the actual ${If[]} statement NOT its evaluation. Think of the AggroTargetID variable the same as conditions that are loaded from an ini file.

A mini submarine? I don't understand.
