Russian Description (Описание на русском)

How it works

Every DD in group must have this addon. Other members can install addon at will. For auto-assisting any additional tuning after installation of addon it is not required (icons of classes it is possible to disable by special command /ga icons - Toggles Icons On/Off)

Management of addon is made by manipulations with a mouse on a icon of the bloody sun which you will find in the centre of the screen after installation of addon (drag it at convenient to you a place in mode of editing of the interface)

• Click the left mouse button on a icon - Toggles on/off auto-assist
• Click the middle mouse button (wheel) - Toggles on/off a sound at automatic change of the target at auto-assist

You need to create the following macro (watch the register of symbols!)

• For auto assisting:

1. "/script GopTarget()" - macro for caller. By pressing of this button all group will automatically choose your target. Each member of assist-group can use this button that is useful at death of the main caller.
2. "/script AssistCurrent()" - assist last call. It will return your target back if you change it manually after auto change

• For manual assisting:

1. "/script AssistManual()" - manual assisting to caler. It is possible to apply at game in randoms groups when this addon is installed only by you
2. "/script SetAssist()" - a choice of caller for manual assist for use macro"AssistManual"

So, assist-group work is builds as follows: caller presses button "GopTarget" and the target at all group members automatically switches to his target. Thus at everyone the sound signal sounds.

How to create assist-group?

For this purpose collect group in game. Then caller should write to a chat of party a phrase "ga" (You can type "/ga rmb". After it u can use your right mouse button on icon to send this phrase automatically). Addons each of members of party should give on it the automatic answer in a chat like "V:2.3 A:t I:f S:t" (value see more below). Caller should track that the answer has arrived from all DD in party. For this purpose the phrase "ga" can be repeated some times. If answer from one of members of group and has not arrived means at it is no addon installed by this member. Phrase "ga" it is necessary to write each time at change of membership of party, and also after several changes of game zones. Also you can send this phrase in tell chat (/tell) of person without party to attach the given ally to your assist-group

Value of answers after a phrase "ga". An example: "V:2.3 A:t I:f S:t"

• V:2.3 - addon version 2.3
• A - Auto-assist (enabled/disabled) t-true (enabled)
• I - Icons of classes (enabled/disabled) f-false (disabled)
• S - Sound (enabled/disabled)

Sometimes on the server-side there are failures in work of the hidden channels on which addon communicates with members of assist-group. As the result auto-assist ceases to work. Thus usually you receive in a message chat "you already are on this channel". In the given situation to renew work of addon to your group it is necessary to enable a party-mode. For this purpose use a key phrase "gap" instead of "ga"
