Problem - Toons in group stop doing anything, but KA is runing.

[DarkDevil]

Running a 4 toon group two mercs. The 3 toons in assist mode will randomly just stop assisting, or sticking to the MA. MA is run in manual by me. I don't afk camp my toons. They stop sticking, stop nuking, healing. The bard does not stop singing, but he won't switch songs.
I will run the MA to the next set of mobs to kill, and will turn around and see the rest of my crew where I left them.

All the Assist toons have this in their ini files.

Role=Assist
CampRadius=30
CampRadiusExceed=400
Returntocamp=0
ChaseAssist =1
ChaseDistance=25

From one of the toons that is not following their MA, I would try and get a debug log and see what they are doing/stuck in..

 

[DarkDevil]

Will do that.

I know you said you don't AFK camp so I'm assuming you don't have any AFK tools in the KA INI, MQ2Posse, anything like that running which might cause your toons to pause?

 

[DarkDevil]

Hmmm, No I don't, but when I load MQ, I don't stop the plugins included in the build from loading.

I have noticed similar activity, or lack there of. The only thing I can tie to this is pausing the macros while there is still a mob on the ext target and when unpausing the mac the mob is already dead, I think it is missing some events that need to trigger when this happens. Restart them and they act normal. Are you doing a MQpause, before the mac registers the mobs death?

 

[DarkDevil]

No I am not. Most of the time, when I am doing an HA, I pull with my chanter. Mezz the adds, and start killing. When I first start off the Shammy, Bard, and Wizard fall right in line and start nuking, and doting. I use a cleric merc and a Warrior merc. At any time, during the HA, the toons on Assist, simply decide to take a break and stop following, or stop nuking, etc. The only way to start them is to end KA and restart it.

In regards to the following, try using advanced follow rather than chase.

/afollow

Or make a social with
/pause 5, /Bca //target assistname
/bca //afollow

It's pretty nice. Your characters will follow the assist exactly. Eg, you run in a S pattern. Your characters will follow in the exact same S pattern. Handy to keep them getting stuck on random stuff though it's not perfect they won't get caught up on stuff much. I believe it will also use some doors type objects too. Eg, the pok books or the crystals in tbm zones too. At least my characters started to use the books/crystals by themselves after I swapped for chase to afollow.

But as for the not casting stuff I have it every so often too. Randomly one character will stop casting or whatever too. I've found manually casting something will sometimes "reset" the casting so the character will behave as usual. It's not common but it does happen.

I think sometimes it's a tiny rock or whatever blocking los. Sometimes my enchanter will nuke the assists target rather than mezzing lol.

No idea what causes it as I am unable to reproduce it if I try...

 

[DarkDevil]

Yes! Manual casting does the same for me. It will restart the Macro.
And thanks for the /afollow

 

[dorimor]

/afollow is nice if your useing casters only not so great for melee as the /afollow distance is shot and does not allow the melee class freedom to turn and attack with kiss

 

[Chanticleer]

I've noticed since treehugin came back kiss has been running bad lol pew pew shots fired !!! Just a joke but yea I've noticed random pausing

 

[ctaylor22]

Yep, but a debug log is always helpful for us dev's. If I can't replicate the issue I need a debug log to refer to. Think of it this way. Help me help you..

 

[dorimor]

ok how do i do a debug log ?
