Swift Assist Guide + Enemy integration

[Phantasm]

Spoiler:

slightly updated SwiftAssist in terms of UX:
added more addon messages in chat so now it's clear for any user HOW to set it to broadcast assisted target properly.
shorterned argument from "announcesetassist" to "set"
some other small tweaks

replace code in SwiftAssist.lua in addon folder with this

Code: Select all

there are not that much changes but those should make usage of swiftAssist easier and more pleasant

PS: also i've noticed cases when /assist do not work and don't select target. That's a game problem that can be solved by rotating camera around by 360 degrees or leaving area and coming back, so objects would loaded by game properly

I`d suggest update idrinth website version with new one, also nice point on /assist fix, I know "performance addon" make issues with it after fresh login. Fix itself after sometime, didnt know rotating or swaping zones helps. Thx!

Updated Swift-Assist:
lot of small changes, added 2 new Macroses for easier assist in City fights

[darkt1981]

other 2 can work together
3) macros "SwiftAssistMe" : "/script SwiftAssist.AssistMe()" will ask in chat for assist on current target
(useful when you'r a MA and you change your target and you want to announce it)

4) macros "SwiftSmartAssist" : '/script SwiftAssist.Inactive(L"smart")'
if enabled via "/swift smart" will listen to chat and set itself to assist last player that has used "SwiftAssistMe" macro
(usefull in case when MA is dead and someone else announcing new target to focus)

if tryed this but what every i try i cant make the npc say its target in chat or make my alt then target hims, when i press the macro, nothing happens.

tryed this on the bitterstone version of enemy. (working channels) nothing.
also tried this on enemy 2.8.0 - seems to be bugged for me i cant make channels or join channels for some reason, so i have to stick to Bitterstone version, not sure how up to date that one is?


if anybody btw know where to get the updated version of the bitterstone one please share.

here is what i do:

1. Join party/warband
2. In chat type /swift smart wb/p depending on what group type i am in on both characters
3. Press "SwiftAssistMe" button on character 1
4. Press "SwiftSmartAssist" button on character 2 to activate smart assist.

get error: [SwiftAssist] : Smart Assist macro is inactive, please configured it via /swift smart, and make sure someone have used SwiftAssistMe

i already done /swift smart wb/p what am i missing here ?

Some players are experiencing problems with game built-in /assist function. Some players never experienced any problems, some players experience problems pretty often. No clue what's the case to trigger that bug. Bug ticket:
https://github.com/WarEmu/WarBugs/issues/17526

BUT:

1. Join party/warband
2. In chat type /swift smart wb/p depending on what group type i am in on both characters
3. Press "SwiftAssistMe" button on character 1
4. Press "SwiftSmartAssist" button on character 2 to activate smart assist.

get error: [SwiftAssist] : Smart Assist macro is inactive, please configured it via /swift smart, and make sure someone have used SwiftAssistMe

It seems that you'r doing everything OK, but for some reason it refuses to parse chat text properly. I've tested that on both my accounts using PC and laptop and with help of friends..
Yet i have no idea why you'r receiving an error message.

I'll think about script that can find out what's the problem and post it shortly

I am trying viny ui for a couple of weeks and i like it a lot. However my enemy is not communicating with swift assist or smt else with these two addons is mulfuctioning. I do not get the arrow above enemies when my assist is targeting them. Any advice ?

Would that be worth adding to the default? If yes, do you have a diff/patch for me to upload?(assuming you don't want to upload it yourself)

Drag 1st icon macro on a skill bar, click someone you wanna assist, press that macro, then drag 2nd macro to skill bar and press it when you want to see that player`s target (new target must be in your target range). Spam it if you see that player is swaping targets frequently.
