Question - Trying to set ranger to Ranged combat mode, not sure how to do it

[Nightmare327]

I have a 125 ranger I am trying to set as ranged combat only with RGMercs Lua. I cannot seem to find a setting for that. Am I missing it somewhere? I can see the Ranged Combat below, but cannot seem to activate it (plus it seems to have an exclamation mark)

Good question, could not find it either. But had not yet searched enough to post this question.
For kissassist there exist an extension, which will keep the ranger at a distance of 35 (it is 35, right?) to the mob, which should be the sweetspot for the distance, as he is distanced enought for rangefight but still close enought for combat-abilities.

Set the stick mode to back

Toast - Rob's dumb question #1 answered

That's the title

I struggles to till I watched the video you set the stick to back

The post was for the Ranger CWTN plugin, Does it also work for the RGMercs Lua? I looked for a stick option, but could not find that either.

I think I finally figured it out. You have to turn off melee on this tab also, as well as the nav distance below to allow it to use ranged.

That was just for the CWTN plugin. I think he did not notice your question was in the RGMercs Lua forum.

Thanks @Nightmare327, nice finding.

No problem. That's one disadvantage of the way I read the forums, the new posts will take you to the actual new post, so its difficult to always know what forum the post is actually in

for those wondering here is the relevant code from the ranger class config:

        {
            name = 'Ranged Combat',
            state = 1,
            steps = 1,
            targetId = function(self) return mq.TLO.Target.ID() == RGMercConfig.Globals.AutoTargetID and { RGMercConfig.Globals.AutoTargetID, } or {} end,
            cond = function(self, combat_state)
                return combat_state == "Combat" and not RGMercUtils.GetSetting('DoMelee') and not RGMercUtils.IsModeActive("Healer")
            end,
        },

Tring to get my ranger to pull then bow from a distance. I have melee off, and the pull happens. Then his Auto target will flash between the mob he just pulled, and None, and he will not use ranged combat on the mob. Any ideas, on what to look for? I do have my main SK tank set as MA/MT in roles.

I havent experienced this but I dont pull with my ranger. Go ahead and file a bug in github so I don't forget.
