Question - Priest meele: Vanilla, Kissassist, or just pure EQ-Setting?

[Dragonslayer]

Scenario: Priest meeleing aside tank. While in meele he casts a spell which must be cast while targeting tank (any of those spells with targetstarget-recourse). After this cast, the prist does not meele anymore when target is switched back to mob.
In this scenario I am playing the priest, without any other boxes. I want to be ableto decide, wether I want to close in and meele or stay distant and keep the overview.

In game attempts: /assist on, /assist off

Kissassist ini:
[Melee]
AssistAt=99
MeleeOn=0
FaceMobOn=0
MeleeDistance=75
StickHow=snaproll
AutoFireOn=0
UseMQ2Melee=1
TargetSwitchingOn=0

also changed to
UseMQ2Melee=0

While writing I see: "MeleeOn=0"

Q1:Would "MeeleOn=1" allow the toon to continue meeleing, no matter which spells are cast? (this one I can easy figure out on my own)

Q2:How can I (via ingame social?/Hotbutton) switch meele on and off so at my choice my toon will meele at will (no matter which spells are cast) and stop meele when I want to step back?

By the way: thanks for the greate enthusiasm to those who keep all those stuff up to date and running and even keep developing to make it even better.
Since I am using Vanilla, I really feel a new level of joy adventuring, as now boxing doesn't mean anymore the hight lvl of stress I had before.
When my ingame friends are on, I can enjoy the game in a real group.
In the times they aren't online, I can set up my box-crew and adventure without any higher level of stress, like I had, before I came to redguides.

kissassist.com has all the commands and ini settings.

/meleeon is the in-game toggle for that, once KA is running. It only switches it for the current run of the macro, it does not change the setting. So make "MeleeOn=" whichever you want the default to be. If they need to cast a spell that targets somebody else (MA, Me or Heal on anybody/pet in group) they will change target for the cast, then go back to Melee/DPS stuff.

If you setup EQBCS, server to relay between toons, you can use "/bct PriestName //meleeon" to broadcast a command tell to the priest from tank or whoever you play. mq2dannet can do the same thing if you prefer that system though it uses a different syntax for command.

I would also set "UseMQ2Melee=0" for caster. That one just lets KA run all the melee functions, instead of the plugin MQ2Melee, so you're less likely to get any conflicts. On a melee toon the plugin can sometimes be easier, but on a caster I'd just let KA do it all.
