Question - Using EQBCS How do I start and stop KissAssist on all my characters? Not sure what the command should be

[Granditos]

There are times where I quickly want to start or stop kissassist and it would be really nice to hit one button to start and one button to stop on all accounts. I'm sure there is a simple command, it is just beyond my ability to figure it out myself. I also went through the whole guide and couldn't figure it out either.

I don't use EQBCS at all - but the command would be similar, just using whatever eqbcs uses...

In my example I am using Dannet.

[CODE title="KA"]/noparse /dgga /mac kissassist ${Group.MainTank} 99[/CODE]

You can also get granular too with specific class:

[CODE title="Bard"]/noparse /dgga /if (${Me.Class.ShortName.Equal[BRD]}) /mac kissassist ${Group.MainTank} 99[/CODE]

/bcga //mac kissassist

now personally i would use this from your tank while targeting yourself

/mac kissassist tank
/bcg //mac kissassist assist ${Group.MainTank} 99

to end you can just

/bcga //end

Awesome thank you! This leads me to another question... I main my necro and don't usually even turn kissassist on for him (worried about dropping invis while exploring and pulling). I also pull with the necro. When I run him back to camp, my warrior jumps in immediately, which is great! But I struggle with understanding which target he is working on. Plus my enchanter is trying to mez and I have to keep switching through the target list to figure out which target my warrior is on. I currently have my warrior assisting me (/mac kissassist Necro (with it specified as tank in the config file) and I also have the rest of the group set up to assist me too. Should I have the warrior assist off me and the mage/enchanter assist off the tank? Also, how do I better understand the target prioritization from my warrior?

I believe the tank designation only works if the character is the main assist. Try /mac kissassist on your tank with themselves targeted, then /mac kissassist tank on your other toons. The tank will aggro the nearest mob first, so when you get back to camp have a macro key set on your Necro to /assist Tank (tank's name) and you should be good.

/bcga //quit

That'll stop everything fo'sure

Also, if your macros are running and you just need to stop them for a minute but don't want to have go through the entire start up process again, you can use the MQ pause command.

/bcga //mqp

To un-pause, just do the same command again.

Correction on this, to start on your tank it would be: "/mac kissassist tank 100" the 100 being the 100% of the mobs health to engage the mob at. on your other toons you type: "/mac kissassist assist 99" the 99 here give your tank the change to jump to the top of agro before the rest engage. for me since my tank is also my puller I use this comand: "/mac kissassist pullertank 100", if your tank is not your puller then you would run your puller like this: "/mac kissassist puller 99". This will either clarify it for you or completly confuse you. I am hoping the first one.

This is fantastic. Didn’t even think about this as an option.

This does help a lot. My only problem is I don’t run kissassist on my necro who is my main and puller. I just run him entirely manually. Does that cause any issues with my 3 other toons being tank and assist?

How can I set up a macro using BCG to specify individual characters run a different kissassist start line? For example I want my tank to start /mac kissassist tank 100 and I want my other two guys to /Mac kissassist assist “tank name” 99.

Secondly, does marking my tank as tank on the group list affect kissassist in any way? Or if I remember right I think I’m supposed to mark him as main assist? I never really understood what this functionality does. And haven’t noticed a difference when I don’t mark my tank as anything on the group list.

No, you should be fine. Many people run a mix of macros or plugins all the time. So long as you have the correct characters targeted when you start the macro, it should run ok.

You can make sure it's selecting the correct character by using /mac kissassist assist NAME %

Make a social macro with multiple call lines in it.
/bct TANKNAME //mac kissassist tank 100
/bct DPSNAME //mac kissassist TANKNAME 96
/bct HEALERNAME //mac kissassist TANKNAME 95

Or something to that effect.

Honestly I would drop the % on the start up call, just change the ini files for each character to engage melee as needed.
[Melee] AssistAt=96 MeleeOn=1 FaceMobOn=1 MeleeDistance=75 StickHow=snaproll AutoFireOn=0 UseMQ2Melee=1 TargetSwitchingOn=0

Perfect! Thanks. Super helpful.
