Question - What is best stick how command for melee

[jdkars]

Hey all, i am having issues with my melee dps bots and that they are always glitchy when attacking. Sometimes they will be at some weird angle and not hitting the target. Currently I use this below, but its not working well and losing a ton of dps.

[Melee]
AssistAt=98
MeleeOn=1
FaceMobOn=1
MeleeDistance=75
StickHow=snaproll rear
AutoFireOn=0
UseMQ2Melee=1

I think it will use your mq2melee settings for stick if it's turned on. If you are using WinEQ, ensure you have "WinEQ=on" in your MQ2Moveutils.ini.

I would also like to know what people use for stickcmd in mq2melee and kiss if not using mq2melee
I am still trying to figure out which takes precedent with stick because watching my toons it seems it will occasionally still use kiss even with mq2melee=1

I use kiss with mq2melee turned on. In my mq2melee settings I have stickcmd=behindonce

Ok what file is the mq2melee settings in? I didnt see anything in release that looked like it, or in macros folder.

for my monk i use the below

stickcmd=${If[${Math.Calc[${Target.MaxRangeTo}*0.8]} >  19,15,${Math.Calc[${Target.MaxRangeTo}*0.8]}]} hold moveback !front  loose

for tank i use

stickcmd=moveback 45% loose

it's located in your server_charactername.ini file inside the release folder

Ok i set the stickcmd to behind once. It seems to work fine now in open areas. Seems to still be erratic though in close quarters like HS basement tunnels. This is due to the golems being so large that the characters cannot get behind them and getting stuck on lamps and other junk. I dont really see a way around this though in tight quarters.

Some other stickhow options:

• !front = get behind the mob, but don't bother strafing anymore as long as you're still somewhere behind mob
• loose = does more of a "keystroke" style move, looks a little less botty. I find this one works in places snaproll gets stuck.
• front = tanking style. Also good to work on your defensive skill ups or if you don't want melee to waste time positioning.

 

[runicNomad]

we can use multiple variables in stickhow/stickcmd correct?
as in
stickhow=loose !front 8

i am pretty sure that since i have mq2melee enabled that it only uses the stickcmd=. In the char file that is not in kissassist. The stickhow is in KA file but i am pretty sure that is not even looked at , at all, when you run mq2melee. I haven't found a full list of mq2melee stickcmd's that work.

Correct, when UseMQ2Melee=1 is set, that plugin is controlling stick commands, along with everything else MQ2Melee does (such as holyshits and downshits). If you set UseMQ2Melee=0, then KA will fully unloads the plugin, thus removing the ability to use HS/DS. See here for everything you can do with MQ2Melee running along side KA. There is certain functionality that I like to turn over to MQ2Melee, because, as a plugin, it's faster to respond and is always active, versus a macro that gets started and stopped on a regular basis.

I haven't found a full list of mq2melee stickcmd's that work.

Stick commands actually come from MQ2MoveUtils plugin, MQ2Melee simply automates the process of issuing the command to your character thus saving you the trouble of typing it in directly or creating a social key for it. See this post in the Macroquest 2 wiki for MQ2MoveUtils for a full list.

A bit late I know, but I am new to KA, the command I found.....after a ton of searching is typing in /melee stickbreak=1, this allows you to break stick with your movement keys and does what I was looking for.

For all my tanks/melee dps i use StickHow=Moveback 98% loose. Seems to work well and puts you in that max melee range for rampage mobs.
