  • About Multi Assist
  •  

Multi Assist allows you to set up to 20 "Assist" assignments. You can then see the health of thier targets, and the health of thier target's target, including all the debuffs. This mod was basically commisioned by a friend of mine (Nvila on Cenarious), the cost being lunch. Alot of the design choices are based on his needs, and the needs of people in my guild.

Clicking on the "target" will assist to get it. For instance... if you click on the "Target's Target", you are in effect... assisting the "mob". In game play there is no real difference, but it does make things cleaner for auto attack when the target's target is a mob.

There is a keybind and slash command to assist the currently select "assist". A second slash command and key bind to rotate through the list. If the assist that you have select dies, the mod will auto rotate to the next one it can. If you click on an assist, it will jump to that one emediatly.

there is a little check box next to the version number of Multi Assist. Checking that will show some additional UI elements, mainly for those who do not wish to deal with slash commands.

In the options panel you can turn on and off the CT_RaidAssist functionality... the showing of the target's target, attack on assist, and hunter auto shot on assist. You can also scale the UI in the same window.

Feature Requests/Future Ideas:
Grow Upwards (BIG maybe... seams nobody wants it anymore)
Auto remove assist when not in party (Likey as an option)
Auto show/hide (if not in a group, and pet not out, hide)
Hide the "fluff" ... ie the anchor text and the check box
Show the health of the assist (optional)

    I agree, I very much loved this addon and find it difficult to play without it. I found another addon somewhat like it but it pales in comparison.

    It would be very nice if someone could take a look at the code and see if they can fix it up to work with all the added restrictions in the new wow release.

    This is one of the best group (or even raid) assist addons out there. Someone please update it :D

  • Feb. 20, 2006, 01:02AM (2 years, 6 months ago)

    This addon is a hunter must have. I love it.

    It would be really nice for other classes, if default actions could be chousen from the abilities, just like in CastParty (naming the ability or dragging it's icon to the interface, no difference). Different types of clicks with corresponding actions support also got to help a lot.

    Also, for a hunter, some range cheking would be great, changing default action according to the range AND target color coding according to in range, too close, out of range.

    And 1 more thing - seems i can't get more then 5 CTRA MT targets... Is there a solution?

    Since 1.11 the "add to MA" is broken. It still updates (and works) when MT/OT is set in CTraid.

    Possible fix to the "add to MA" problem?

  • June 26, 2006, 08:46AM (2 years, 2 months ago)

    Just received words from Quu he doesnt support his addons any more. Is there someone out there that could pick this excellent addon up?

  • June 26, 2006, 11:44AM (2 years, 2 months ago)

    You can fix the "Add to MA" issue by editing the MultiAssist.lua file as follows...

    On line 262 (in the MultiAssist_UnitPopup_OnClick function), change the line that reads:

    local button = UnitPopupMenus[this.owner][index];

    Change that line to:

    local button = this.value;

    Thnx!

    This is a great mod for hunters (and probably mages and warlocks too) since it makes it easy to select targets from a distance. What I would like to see is a way to make the mod not show when I enter the game since I don't use it when I solo. If someone knows what to edit to do that, that'd be great. Maybe toggle something in the .lua to have it off when it loads.

    This mod rocks . One thing would make it even better for hunters. Is it possible to make the assist send your pet in also? Now that would make raiding so much better. Hit one key and start shooting and pet attacks ))) no delay

    Thanks for the great mod ) my hats off to ya )

    Was wondering if it was possible to be able to have the assist targets be toggleable to horizontal. I would much rather be able to target left to right than up and down the way my ui is set. I love the mod eithe way.

  • Dec. 2, 2005, 05:10AM (2 years, 9 months ago)

    Thanks Clare!

    And Valefrale, if the window is hidden, type /ma show to bring it back.

  • Nov. 28, 2005, 02:58AM (2 years, 9 months ago)

    Is there any way to stop Multi Assist from automatically rolling to the next MA on the list when the MA dies? Sometimes, in specific situations, we want the MA to keep targetting (even though they're dead, you can still assist them). People in the raid force tend to get split because half is on the new MA, half is still getting target from the dead MA.

    Well in my typical curiosity I was click "hide" for this addon, and Ive not seen it anymore after that! So what I do to make it appear again now? Its certainly HIDDEN now! - Ticks me off, cus I like this addon! Anyone can give me some info on that? ..I will send my love after that! - Thanks! :)

  • Nov. 15, 2005, 07:46AM (2 years, 9 months ago)

    Thank you Clare for the tip.

  • Nov. 15, 2005, 07:09AM (2 years, 9 months ago)

    Thanks to Clare !!! W00t finally :-)

    Ok, figured out how to get all 10 ctra MT targets... In the lua file there is a section labled: -- manipulate the MA_Names array

    There are some lines that say:

    function MultiAssist_SyncWithCTRA() if (CT_RA_MainTanks) then local i; local hasStuff = false; for i = 5, 1, -1 do

    Change that to:

    function MultiAssist_SyncWithCTRA() if (CT_RA_MainTanks) then local i; local hasStuff = false; for i = 10, 1, -1 do

    Then find the line right below that:

    function MultiAssist_DoesThisMatchCTRA() if (CT_RA_MainTanks) then local i; for i = 1, 5 do if (CT_RA_MainTanks[i]) then

    Change to:

    function MultiAssist_DoesThisMatchCTRA() if (CT_RA_MainTanks) then local i; for i = 1, 10 do if (CT_RA_MainTanks[i]) then

    Don't know if both need to be done, but it works fine.

    This is an awsome mod. I do have a question though. When I'm in a raid and we start assigning MTs using CTRaid, it will only put up 5 assists, even when we have all 10 assigned. I can work with that (at least so far) since I'm using my druid in raids so far, but I am wonderig if that is intentional, or a bug.

  • Oct. 13, 2005, 05:03PM (2 years, 10 months ago)

    Really like this mod! However, the Mac version of WoW brings up the crash reporter (application) every time the the app is launched (it's the problem Meldas mentioned). Is there any chance this will be fixed?

  • Sept. 30, 2005, 11:18AM (2 years, 11 months ago)

    at least not for me:)

    the frames just became thinner and the debuffs were still there.

  • Sept. 30, 2005, 11:09AM (2 years, 11 months ago)

    It seems like everytime I log in, it always shows up at the center of the screen. I have to move it everytime I log in... and "lock UI position" doesn't seem to help.
