Problem - Ranger Moves in and out and switches from autofire to melee

[Nipples MacGhee]

Version of KissAssist.mac?

Current one, I think 12.02. Just downloaded it friday.

When did your problem start?

Yesterday after updating my kissassist ini file

Character Role?

1. Assist

What class is having this issue?

1. Ranger

How often does this issue occur?

Always

Can you reproduce the issue?

Yes every time I have a mob in camp.

Hi, New to Kissassist, and I couldnt find an answer as to why my ranger moves in and out to melee and use autofire. It seems to be wasting time doing that, but I dont know what is the cause. I used a premade INI for him.

Might help if you were to post the ini file and also maybe where this is occuring. Iirc, most time a ranger does this is line of sight issues or distance to mob issues.

I've had quite a struggle with this before, it looks like you are running into a conflict with the mycmd function in your DPS section and mq2melee...

This has mostly been working for me:

[Melee]
AssistAt=99
MeleeOn=0
FaceMobOn=1
MeleeDistance=30
StickHow=!front uw
AutoFireOn=1
UseMQ2Melee=0
TargetSwitchingOn=0
PetTauntOverride=0

@LrdDread recommend you turn on TargetSwichingOn=1, you will want your ranger to swap to your mt's target if he/she/it/they/them ever gets tasked with something else. Otherwise your ranger is going to pew pew stuff out of mez

Thanks I will try this when I get home from work tonight. Looks to be simpler.

@an_image I am pretty sure I am using it correctly, from the Wiki/Instrustions...

TargetSwitchingOn    0    0/1    0=Off/1=On - This allows the MA to manually switch targets. TargetSwitchingON can only be turned on if your the MA, It is ignored for any other character/role.

Thanks, I will add that and test it tonight.

That last message wasn't for you Nipples It was for the message above that said I should change my TargetSwithingOn setting

Gotcha

So these lines in your Melee section are going to make your Ranger try to get into melee range:
MeleeOn=1 UseMQ2Melee=1

These lines in your DPS section are going to make your Ranger try to get OUT of melee range:
DPS2=Command:/multiline ; /stick 37 moveback; /face fast; /autofire on|99

So if I had to guess, MQ2Melee is getting your ranger up close and personal and your DPS section, when it reaches lines 2, 14, 29, and 30 [why are lines 29 and 30 identical?], it's trying to move back 37 units and do some pew pew.

If you want to be 100% ranged, change UseMQ2Melee to 0. Heck, you could even turn MeleeOn=0 if you wanted your DPS section to handle your /stick stuff.
