Question - /returntocamp command for KA/RGMercs/etc.

I know the various services can be told to return a character to camp after combat is over. The CWTN plugins have an explicit command, /<short character name> gotocamp which has the character auto nav back to an established camp loc. Are there similar facilities built into any of the service macros? I've looked at the wikis for KA and RGMercs specifically and did not see anything to suggest they support that level of functionality. Thought I'd ask to be certain.
 
It’s built into kissassist open kiss ini and can edit return to camp by changing return to camp with a 1 or 0

/rg returntocamp 1

for RGmercs
 
Yes, I fully understand the ability to automatically return to camp is included in those services. Setting the value in the ini (KA/MA) or via the setting command (RGMercs) doesn't trigger to a character to return to camp at that moment. That's the context of my first sentence.

I'm checking to see if there's a command to tell a character to actually go return to camp when away. The same way that the CWTN plugins do. I.e., go to camp now.

Only applies when not engaged to a mob I believe. The rouneq is wanting to tell the toons “while” I’m combat to return to camp instead of continue to chase random mob.
 
When this scenario happens I target myself and hit my /switchnow hotkey and come to me to pull my group back.
 
I believe what you are looking for is the /command that tells your characters to return to camp after a fight is done. At that point, all of them will generally run back to their camp position and wait for the next fight.

I found in Kissassist.mac, when you set a camp it basically writes three variables as CampYLoc, CampXLoc, CampZLoc. This is done with the /camphere command.
I scanned for any reference to these and found /moveto loc ${CampYLoc} ${CampXLoc}
It doesn't appear there is any sort of /returntocamp command, it just uses moveutilities to move to the variable location. I would imagine there could be a subevent listening for a /command that would do the exact same thing right?

This is good info. Yeah, ideally, I was hoping to find there is a command to tell a character to do exactly that. The workaround with /moveto you identify may be sufficient for KA (and I'm guessing MA).
 
moveto is a straight line movement command. It does not follow terrain or detect obstacles. If you were on one side of a cliff and wanted to get to the bottom, moveto would send you straight to your doom rather than follow the steps down, which /nav would do.

To establish your camping spot but not leash your chars to it:
/nav rwp MyCampingSpotName

To return to your camping spot:
/nav wp MyCampingSpotName

To stop:
/nav stop

You can make a hotkey for each command from the char you drive with: "/bcaa //nav rwp MyCampingSpotName", "/bcaa //nav wp MyCampingSpotName", and "/bcaa //nav stop"
