Summary0017526: Assist function sometime breaks and not assisting ally
DescriptionReporter: Aktheon

<!--
Issues should be unique. Check if someone else reported

-->

**Expected behavior and actual behavior:**
expected:
when using macro "/assist Playername" it should select enemy this player is targeting

actual:
it works in small fights and in PvE area, but in big fights or in cities it ignores some players. You click macro - nothing happens. Sometime it works for a short period of time and then keep targeting enemies assisted player is not targeting any more.
It does not matter how i try to assist player: via addon that edits macro and if i manually edit macro to assist a specific player. I've noticed in intense fights other players also experience that problem.
example 1: Keep siege in T3, only every second player i try to assist get assisted. I edit macro, i use macro, in 50% cases nothing happens, in 50% cases it targets enemy. Yet even when it's selecting an enemy, i'm pretty sure it selects wrong enemy, cause i can cleary see ally is attacking a different target
example 2: CitySiege MA. in 50% cases i don't see MA is changing/selecting targets
example 3: City. I can see player attacking attacking Target dummy, but when i try to assist that player i get "Door" selected as target - something he has targeted before he started attacking Target dummy. Sometimes it works and selects dummy, but usually don't
example 4: i've joined a streamer in his fight in RvR, and set to assist him. When i trigger macro i get enemy targeted, but on stream i can clearly see he has changed targets and is shooting a different target, but whenever i deselect enemy (Esc) and press macro - again i get selected his very first target, but not one he's currently attacking


**Steps to reproduce the problem:**
set macro to "/assist Playername", use it to assist that player. Best way is to join keep siege and try assisting randoms shooting from walls.

You will need to contact the Swift Assist addon developer if you have an issue.

I'm developing it atm.
it's not about swift-assist it's about built-in function "/assist" not working as intended. I can't effect how "/assist" function work - that's a built-in command/function and a server-side problem. Sometime it works some time it does not.
As i mentioned above even if you edit macro manually without any addon usage "/assist Playername" still keeps working with 50% success

Use /script SwiftAssist.SetAssist() first and try again please. (This is how Swift Assist works).

lol, i know how to use swift-assist xD
if you check video - you'll see that i set assisted player, and you'll see that macro looks like "/assist Tatsi"
i keep spamming "SwiftAssist" macro but nothing happens yet player is attacking mobs
it's an /assist command problem

I've tried using ".assist" as a replacement for "/assist", but ".assist" seems to not work at all ((

Was able to replicate the problem, but other people saying they haven't had an issues - bit of an odd one. I'll re-open it and see if someone can take a look.

Can confirm, assist does not work for me either.

(I only use Miracle Grow Remix & State Of The Realm addons)

HELLO GENTS/ladies? I solo BW a lot. Or small scale. I can 100% confirm (THIS IS WHY I CAME) and report /assist is working for party members, but not pugs outside my party.

This kills me, because I very often would NEED /assist to click a friendly tank, or melee in my WAY. And grab his target, because I cannot physically click the enemy I want. I need /assist fixed please, it has many many uses I and applications I use every day that are now broken.

I don't use any addons, this is just vanilla, click a friendly target, and macro cast /assist

Thanks!

I have the same issue but my /assist doesn work for anyone. Is works only when right clicking the person and selecting "assist" from the menu. At the same time my / emotes don't work - system says emotes list is empty. Maybe one is related to another.

Hey,

the /emote has nothing to do with that. The emote issue start to happen around 3-4 weeks ago.
