Main assist binds

[Lax]

Here's a pair of binds you could use to easily assist the main assist without screwing around with changing your assist hotkey. One will set the main assist as MQ2 sees it, and the other assists that person.

Updated for MQ2Data and MQ2Datavars

Code: Select all

/declare mainassist global
/custombind add setassist
/custombind set setassist /multiline ; /varset mainassist ${Target.Name};/echo Main assist: ${mainassist}
/custombind add assistmain
/custombind set assistmain /assist ${mainassist}

You could place this in Configs\autoexec.cfg

The global must be declared for this to work (note that global variables arent cleared when a macro ends). Also, the /multiline isnt going to work 100% as desired unless you have the March 22 release.

This goes without saying but since the bind system is new:
Set the bind keys like so:

Code: Select all

/bind assistmain q
/bind setassist m

I use 'q' for assist since its right above 'a' for attacking, and 'm' for setting the main assist because 'm' is for main assist

Very nice, I like when someone thinks up good ideas for me. Esp when they are freeing up hotkeys.

Lax,
I know there must be a reason, so just looking for clarification here...

Will the assist stuff not work with ONLY the "/declare mainassist global" in a CFG file, as /bind's and /custombind/s are saved to related ini/txt files and reloaded every time you login, etc?

Or does the /custombind stuff need to be in the same CFG file as well for the variable to work?

Just trying to figure out how all this works together.

[Lax]

all that needs to happen is the variable needs to exist, and the binds need to exist. It doesnt matter what order they exist in, why they exist, etc. They just need to exist. The bind file itself does not store variables, and the easiest way for it to always exist is to declare it in autoexec.cfg.

This was working fine for me until the latest version was released. Now I get the following in my chat:

[MQ2] Main assist: $target(name)

Also when I do a /mana I get this:

[MQ2] Current Mana: $char(mana,cur) -- Max Mana: $char(mana,max)

Thought these might be related.

Code: Select all

/varset mainassist ${Target.CleanName}

Tried using this today in game using it in autoexec.cfg, but it seems like assistmain isn't working correctly, even using new code.

Code: Select all

/declare mainassist global 
/custombind add setassist 
/custombind set setassist /multiline ; /varset mainassist ${Target.CleanName} ; /echo Main Assist: ${mainassist} 
/custombind add assistmain 
/custombind set assistmain /assist ${mainassist}

any ideas?

This is what I'm using and it works:

Code: Select all

/declare mainassist string outer
/custombind add setassist 
/custombind set setassist /multiline ; /varset mainassist ${Target.CleanName};/echo Main assist: ${mainassist}
/bind setassist m

Then make your hotbutton in EQ:

Code: Select all

/assist ${mainassist}

Still not working for me this way, very confusing.

copy/paste from top post, it has been updated

Thanks a ton Lax

I cant get the assistmain to work.
Setting the mainassist works well and I get a feedback on the new Mainassist. But when I press the q key nothing happens.
