Question - Tank not switching to MA targets.

[cotto8177]

Version of KissAssist.mac?

11.001 (updated 10/9/19)

When did your problem start?

10/2/19 when i needed to load toon's for an event that requires target Switch's

Character Role?

1. Assist
2. Tank
3. Puller

What class is having this issue?

1. Bard
2. Shadow Knight

How often does this issue occur?

Always

Can you reproduce the issue?

yep

ok not sure how to resolve this problem. i looked at Kopyrpg's Quick guide for Beginners post and problem still continues.
my bard is my MA and i play him in Manual (/Mac kissassist Manual)
my SK is only to be Tank Only.
i do NOT use //EQBC
i do set the role's for each toons and make the targets (Tank targets MA /Mac kissassist Tank, Bard targets self /Mac kissassist Manual)
for what ever reason my tank WILL NOT switch targets and Text pops up after he is loaded "I am Tanking and Main Assist".
i have the feeling this will be something really obvious to someone else but i have been gone for the last 8 years and for the life of me i dunno WTF im doing wrong.
i would prefer to use only base KA the way i have been but if i have to ill use EQBC am trying to keep as little mac / prog from running

Default KA is setup with the Tank as the MA. So if you start somebody in Tank mode, they will pick their own targets. I don't think targeting somebody else at start of KA will change that part of Tank mode.

Option 1 is let the tank pick targets and you assist him on the Bard.

Option 2 is set the SK in "Assist" role instead of "Tank." Then you need to fill out their Aggro section so they'll try to hold aggro.

Thank YOU! this basiclly dose what i need it to do.
setting tank to Assist mode fixed the Targeting issue. i had to set him to Assist at 100% and set the /melee stickmode=2 so he would agro on INC and not "Bot Run" into the mob. means ill have to manually move him if mob run's off but thats fine id rather control movements anyhow so this works out PERFECTLY!. Thanks for the Prompt reply!

now to just get tank to cast spells on inc mobs from a decent distance and ill be set.

just ran into a problem with useing settings like this. now when i go to Quest givers or target players on Tank he will attempt to agro them even tho there is no target in ETW

 

[eqtrader74]

Yeah it's assisting all the time. You may want a "pause"toggle hotkey for when you're in town or such.

/mqp

If you feel like setting up EQBC, then you can broadcast the pause on/off to all your toons with the same key:

/bcaa //mqp on


& 


/bcaa //mqp off

 

[cotto8177]

yeah ill have to take a look into EQBC,

any chance ya happen to know how i can get Tank to begin casting at a farther range. i have camp set at 75, about to jump it up to 100 doesn't seem to effect when he will cast on targets.

 

[eqtrader74]

Maybe you've already tried them, but I'd check these settings:

[General]
CampRadius=50
[Melee]
AssistAt=100
MeleeDistance=75

And then make sure you have a couple DPS entries at 100:

[DPS]
DPSOn=2

DPS1=Spurn|100|Mash
DPS2=Wounding Blade|100
DPS3=Refute for Power|100|cond2

DPS12=Touch of T`Vem|100
DPS13=Dire Testimony|100|cond22
DPS14=Dichotomic Fang|100|cond23

DPS16=Spear of Tylix|100|cond9

 

[cotto8177]

yep just made a /mqp key works well just have to remember to use Lol..

testing them now will let ya know if it works, maybe someone might add a MT assisting MA setting with Flex casting range and ETW support for "Oops" prevention.

 

[cotto8177]

Seems to work well with

[General]
KissAssistVer=11.001
Role=Assist
CampRadius=100

[Melee]
AssistAt=100
MeleeDistance=100

if any of thease settings are lower then 100 tank lets npc's hit healer/puller /what ever has their attention

 

[cotto8177]

alrighty well everything was working perfectly right up until i rebooted PC.

stick settings is apparently working even tho all stick settings are turned off (i dont want to use it)
spells will cast after about 10 - 15 sec after manually engaging mob with attack. dose same thing after useing /MQPause. dose this for Every Pull.

thought i had a good handle on what i was doing but apparently the program has something to say about it Lol..

if someone know's of a way to Only use the Spell Casting / targeting / Assisting part of MQ more effecively then what ive been doing please feel free to let me know, i would rather not let MQ do movements in Combat. out of combat is another story.

Edit:
what ever it is is gone now i had to uninstall MQ and resinstall it and just Cut and Paste everything back in. Stick still dose a slight movement even with settings off but not as bad as it use to be. if i could get MQ to stop doing movement in combat id be happy only want AFollow to work when moving group to new location.

/stick off
/melee stickmode=2

Edit2: apparently Gblade and Withstand both Cause the charging from /melee he still faces mobs tho and face mobs and adjust posationing, Face is off in INI soo not sure what else would be doing it

Edit3: turning off Melee in INI stops movement even when attack is manually turned on just wish there was a setting to turn on attack with out the movement and still cast spells.
