Assigned Tank Assist

Version: 1.1.6

by: Akryn, GreyWolfSC

Assigned Tank Assist creates macros that are aware of the "tank" role assigned by the LFD tool. The default is to assist the tank, but they are normal macros except that they can be longer.

Note that !mt and !ma will also work, for the Bliz raid MT and MA. But if you have more than one MT or MA, it basically picks one at random.

To configure, go to the panel (/atassist will go there immediately), and type in a macro in the large box. In the macro, you can use !t where the name of the tank should be inserted. For example, "/assist !t". The addon will keep the macros up to date with the correct name.

Up to 30 macros are supported.

To actually run the macros, do one or both of the following:

1. Set a key binding in the addon's config. panel.
2. Create a normal macro, or edit an existing one, or in some other way run the command:

Code:

/click AssignedTankAssistButton

That line can also by copy/pasted in-game from the smaller text field in the configuration panel. For macros 2-30, you can do the same thing but put the number after, i.e. "/click AssignedTankAssistButton2"

1.1.5 (12-10-2011):
-Updated TOC for 4.3

1.1.4 (10-19-2010):
-Update for WoW 4.0 (thanks to acidzero for providing the fix, since I don't have an account ATM).

1.1.2 (2-9-2010):
-!mt and !ma tags work properly now (note that the tags are designed for raids that only use 1, tags like this are pretty useless if you use multiple mt's or ma's since there's no way to differentiate between them).

1.1.1 (2-8-2010):
-The !mt and !ma tags work better now.
-Fix for "raidx" spam and lag during raid updates (sorry x.x).

1.1 (2-5-2010):
-Added !mt and !ma for raid "maintank" and "mainassist" roles.
-Fix for a bug that caused some ATA settings to be cleared when changing other interface settings without having opened ATA's config panel during the current session.
-Fixed a few typos.

1.0 (1-27-2010):
-You can now have up to 30 macros.
-Fixed the "default" button not resetting all the options.
-Added "Clear Binding" button.

0.1 B10:
-Added an option to suppress error text ("You aren't in a group.", "There is no tank.").
-Added an option to run the macro when called even if there is not a tank (replaces !t with blank space).
-Added a button to bind a key to the macro rather than using the /click command.

0.1 B9:
-Redesign, see the info page.

0.1 B8:
-Check for changes occasionally as well as on events.

0.1 B7:
-Bug fix.

0.1 B6:
-Added some customization options to the top of the .lua file.

0.1 B5:
-Fix for rarely leaving duplicate bindings.
-Allows using a macro (ATA_Temp) instead of a binding (see description).
-Registers PLAYER_ROLES_ASSIGNED in addition to PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED

0.1 B4:
-Let's try it this way...

0.1 B3:
-Bug fixes

0.1 B2:
-Bug fixes

Thanks! Please let me know how it's working as-is (I'm fairly sure I'll need to make some significant changes to it before it works well).

Well whether solo or in a group, this does nothing.

Well of course it does nothing solo

If it does nothing in a full 5man group that has a tank assigned (i.e. shows up on the unit frame) then *shrug*...I'll be able to actually test it soon. In the mean time, maybe B2 will work.

I double checked that i had set a key binding in the keybinding menu so its not that. Initially i thought it was because i didn't have the icon enabled on my unit frames but that doesn't seem to do it. It's not throwing any errors either. I haven't tested with just this addon enabled but i intend to tomorrow on my day off and post my findings. I was wondering however if it could have something to do with my unit frame addon. Currently I'm using stuf. Soon as i get some more testing in ill report back with any findings. __________________ I think Hong Kong Phooey was a ninja AND a pirate.

What should happen is that as soon as you have a full group with a valid "assist" target, that binding gets overwritten by the real one which is "MACRO /assist Someone" -- It won't show up in the bindings UI again until you reloadui or assign a new key to it. Also, I doubt any other addons would conflict with this unless they manage keybinds. Last edited by Akryn : 12-19-09 at 11:07 AM.

Just change: Code: SetBindingMacro(b, "/assist " .. UnitName(p)) to: Code: SetBindingMacro("SHIFT-F", "/assist " .. UnitName(p)) ...of course, replace SHIFT-F with whatever bind you want.

I tried the suggestion of bypassing the keybind menu all together and set the key in the lua. Still havent gotten it to work and no errors are throwing so its just time to dig through. __________________ I think Hong Kong Phooey was a ninja AND a pirate.

Anyway, I switched to using a real macro which I think is likely to work better for anyone having problems. Last edited by Akryn : 12-31-09 at 04:18 PM.

ffxiedyn A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 165 File comments: 87 Uploads: 1	I play a mage and a boomkin, this addon would be so useful, if the binding i gave it would actually work. ; ; I opened blizzard key bindings menu, found assigned tank assist and bound the F key to it. however, when I am in a LFD random grp, and press F, i target nothing, no target at all pops up, let alone the tanks target. am i misreading this addon, is this addon supposed to target the tanks target by pressing the bound key, or does it do something else? thanks.

Yes that's what it's supposed to do. Two things:

1. Are you on the latest version (currently beta 6)?
2. Have you tried just using the macro instead of the binding? It creates a macro in your character-specific list called ATA_Temp. You can drag that out to an actionbar. It should keep the macro updated while in a group with (if you don't change any settings) just a single "/assist name" command.

Akryn A Firelord Forum posts: 479 File comments: 95 Uploads: 10	Actually I was just messing with it again and noticed a bug I hadn't before. It might be causing that problem for some people, maybe. Beta 7 has a fix for it, could you see if that works? If it doesn't, what I said about the macro is still true; that's a good way to see if it's working.
