Question - Switch target with my tank

[geordie0511]

I'm 6-boxing. I play the tank and the other 5 chars are controlled by KissAssist. Works perfectly fine.

Sometimes when I'm pulling more than one I want to switch targets with my tank. How can I do this ?

/switchnow does not work for the tank I'm controlling. It just switches back to the target of the original aggro list.

A couple options.

1. Start KA in manual mode on the tank. This disables some KA functions, but does let you have more control. Even in manual though, KA tanks will still swap to Named if they see one.

/mac kissassist manual

2. Setup a macro pause toggle hotkey and use that to stop KA when you want to swap targets, then hit it again when you want to let KA pick targets:

/mqp

3. Lastly, deathlock has made a modded version of KA10/eqmuleKA that lets tanks move freely and pick any target.

Also the thread from December talking about same issue with more discussion and what code changes are needed.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

OK Let's revisit this Thread... Will my Boxes Follow the Tank? It seems like my boxes always stay on whatever they were on til it's dead. What Am I doing wrong.

As long as you are starting KA correctly, they should follow the MA. SO be sure your tank is also MA.

Different version require different start up names.


Version 10: /mac kiss10 assist <Tank Name Here>
Version 11: /mac kissassist assist <Tank Name Here>
Version EqMule: /mac kissassist1004e15 assist <Tank Name Here>
Version Deathlock: /mac kissnomove assist <Tank Name Here>

Hmmm So that's the macro I should have to Start Kiss Assist for them all? That's definately the problem then, I only do /mac kiss11 (Tank)

you will need to start a macro on all your toons, otherwise they are not executing a macro.

/mac kissassist tank
/mac kissassist assist tankname

Those are examples of the different type of Kiss mod's out there. You should be using :/mac kissassist assist <Tank Name Here> if that is your version.

/mac kiss11 assist Tank?

 

[Daryldixonurmouth]

Got it Thank you that fixes it.... Is there a way to Make Raznuke do this as well?

/mac kiss11 assist Tank?

Bad me

/mac kiss10 for old kiss

/mac kissassist for version 11.

Sorry, fix post up thread..

When you say Follow, Are you referring to chasing after the tank or switching from target to target? The other characters will switch from target to target as the MainAssist switches targets, so make sure your Tank is marked as MainAssist in the group window. You may also need to turn off MQ2melee on your assisting characters.

 

[Daryldixonurmouth]

Yes, I was loading Kiss Assist like this
/Mac Kiss11 With the tank targeted. Doing it that way for some reason they stay on whatever the tank First targets until it's dead.
By doing /Mac Kiss11 Assist <Tank> That changes their behavior.
My final question was will Raznuke do the same thing and what I would need to use as a start up to get it to do that. Because my version of Raznuke for some reason stays on the First thing my tank targets until it's dead

 

[Daryldixonurmouth]

Bad me

/kiss10 for old kiss

/kissassist for version 11.

Sorry, fix post up thread..

So Are you able to start your Macros without Using /Mac? or is the shorthand /kiss11? I can't seem to get mine to start without /mac and I want to know if Im just misunderstanding your directions or if something is wrong with my version

Have to use /mac kissassist assist <Tank Name Here>. Is what you would use for Version 11, so everyone follows your tank around.

Whomever you assign MA, is who your toons will assist for fighting.

You tank start up would be different seeing how he is the tank and not assisting anyone.

 

[eqtrader74]

I think any toons assisting with the newest KA should auto-swap to the tank's target. Older versions like KA10 or eqmules mod, may not.

You can force all KA assist toons to change targets with "/switchnow" I have this hotkey on my tank for events where you need to balance the health of mobs:

/bcaa //switchnow

I took a quick look at Raznuke's code, but didn't see a command or setting to make them watch for target changes after they lock on.

"/kiss11" might be a shortcut start alias for "/mac kiss11" or such. You can check your aliases via "/alias list" or set one such as "/alias /kiss11 /mac kiss11"

Have your tried hitting ESC before you try and change targets.

Thanks guys! All this was super helpful! Sometimes its the little stuff that helps a ton, I would have never known about how to use Alias's.
Also yes often I use Kiss 10 because I haven't mastered Kiss11's Movements. My guys spread out quite a bit more with 11 than 10 when I'm letting them grind
