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

Found it was always selecting party1 as the tank which isn't always the tank in randoms. Can be fixed by altering one line of code in the lua: Change line 255 in AssignedTanKAssist.lua from if UnitGroupRolesAssigned(p) then to if UnitGroupRolesAssigned(p) == "TANK" then and ATA should correctly identify the tank in 5-man randoms.

Huh...well, does ATA work still? My account isn't active ATM. If not, does it give you an error that you could post?

I'm not updating this anymore since "party1" does the same thing by default now. If someone wants (for some reason) to update it for WoW 4, though, feel free to send me the project page link and I'll add it to the description here.

I have a fix written up, but it will be either late tonight or tomorrow before I can test it and upload a new version. Last edited by Akryn : 02-09-10 at 12:20 AM.

That message means that tainted/insecure code tried to run a protected function in-combat. Some of the bugsack-type addons display the full text as errors. You can also enable taint logging via a cvar that I don't remember, you can find it via google though.

It is very unlikely that that message has anything to do with the problem you're having though.

I'll turn on the taint logging and check it anyway. The error message bothers me.

I will test that this evening when I can log in; and if I can reproduce it, I'll release a fix tonight.

Thanks for the report, it's a new one for me.

No, it never stops working mid-session, I'm sure it's occurring at login/logout but I don't notice it until I'm in an instance.

I'll zip up the SV file next time.

EDIT: It just did it again. Since the SV file is small I'll just put it here:

Code:

AssignedTankAssist_Vars = {
	["otherMacroTexts"] = {
	},
	["macroText"] = "",
}

AssignedTankAssist.lua.bak is still valid:

Code:

AssignedTankAssist_Vars = {
	["otherMacroTexts"] = {
	},
	["macroText"] = "/assist !t",
}
