Problem with /assist...

[laeelin]

My main (Wyvrn) targets mob "A" and I hit "2" on my keyboard..

2 on my clones is:
/assist Wyvrn
/petattack


95% of the time everything is perfect... but every once in a while instead of attacking my target they go running off to attack another mob close by with the same name... I'm 100% sure i'm not missclicking... That was the first thing I checked

Is this an assist bug?
Anyone else have this problem?

Between your /assist and /petattack lines, add the following:

/stopmacro [noharm]

There is a delay between when your main targets something and your other clients "notice" that your main has retargeted. /petattack, by default, will acquire a random target if you don't have one already. Adding the /stopmacro [noharm] to it prevents that from happening, so your alt will only acquire targets via assist.

I had the same problem. Very annoying, especially in instances.

Perfect! thanks!

I'll be adding that in when I get off work tonight

Ugh, I could have used that information two months ago! This is the kind of stuff that needs to be put in the main macro thread as it is something that is probably unique to multi-boxers.

Haha yeah it probably should be.

I would do it but I am really only posting here and there rather than compiling information. Maybe somebody else can carry the torch until I reactivate. Busy IRL with my companies.

It is in the Macro Codex.
