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

It will work fine for a few sessions, then suddenly I can't assist in a dungeon and when I look at the config panel the text box is empty. The .bak saved variable still has the text in it.

I found an old thread by Slouken that mentions that the functionality was removed as being too confusing (since there's no way to set the order). I like the idea though, so I'm going to just add !mt and !ma.

maybe you could also have '!mt' for the person assigned with main tank in a raid

eddiemars A Cyclonian Forum posts: 43 File comments: 36 Uploads: 5	If you feel like getting ambitious maybe you could make this also give options for doing this in a raid, ie, how you have the '!t' for LFG tanks, maybe you could also have '!mt' for the person assigned with main tank in a raid and maybe even '!a' for whoever is assigned with assist etc. Was just a thought I had while reading about this addon, don't feel the need to implement something like this on my account, I actually heal so I probably wouldn't even use it But I would indeed recommend it to people. __________________ MAGICAL CRAWDAD APPROVED:

Akryn A Firelord Forum posts: 479 File comments: 95 Uploads: 10	Re: keybind Firstly, that keybind no longer exists in the new version. If you still have it, you probably didn't delete the old folder before upgrading. On Windows, you should always delete old folders before dragging upgrades into the addons folder, because Windows merges folders by default, which can result in an addon not being properly updated. Secondly, no, you don't have to have a macro on an action bar, you can do a: Code: /run SetBindingClick("PUT-YOUR-KEY-HERE", "AssignedTankAssistButton") SaveBindings(GetCurrentBindingSet()) instead. Before I release a 1.0 version, I'll add a way to do that from the GUI instead of having to use a script; but for now, you can do it that way. You can delete the old ATA_TEMP macro. The only reason B9 doesn't do that automatically is just in case someone put something in it that they wanted to keep. Also, to answer your question for the sake of answering it: The dummy binding did indeed do nothing on its own, it was just there for the sake of using the Bliz bindings UI. The addon would read that binding and set it to the real binding when needed, and then write the key back to the dummy binding at logout. Last edited by Akryn : 01-23-10 at 01:42 PM.

blankStare A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 82 Uploads: 0	keybind could you explain the keybind ASSIGNEDTANKASSISTDUMMYBINDING a little more. It seems this does nothing, if so, why have it? The only way to use this is to drag the macro to an action bar slot and either press that button, or bind a key to the button and then you use a key. Or, use the click AssignedTankAssistButton in another macro. Is this correct? Last edited by blankStare : 01-23-10 at 01:25 PM.

I've tested it on several runs now and it has been working fine for me. Please let me know if it fixes the problem, for those who were having it. Last edited by Akryn : 01-22-10 at 11:39 PM.

You can also delete the last ", 1" in the CreateMacro line if you'd like to use the account macros. When I have some spare time, I think I'll go ahead and make a small configuration panel for this so that you can change settings like that in-game instead of having to mess with the .lua file.

Well...I can't get it to reproduce that.

At this point I can only make guesses as to why it's failing on others' systems and try things until it works. For those of you having problems; the only way I know whether something fixed it or not is if you let me know.

There aren't too many things I can think of that are even possibilities though... One is that the events aren't firing at the times I expect them to. B8 checks every 20 seconds regardless of an event firing, so it should fix it if that's the problem.
