/target info

Could use a sample or a little help with the /target command.

Basically I want it to..

1. Target the closest skeleton to me

2. is on the same level as me i.e. z axis.. not above or below me

3. doesnt have a pc in close proximity

4. and is no further than say 1000 distance from me

I can get it to do 1 of these but not all at the same time. If you could please post an example for me I would be very grateful.

um... can you just stack the commands?

/target npc zradius 25 nopcnear 200 skeleton

the within 1000 ft of your isnt in ... yet.

I think you want something similar to this:

Code: Select all

/target npc zradius 20 nopcnear 100 skeleton
/if n $target(distance)<1000 {
   | Code to execute here
   ...
}

I might suggest taking a look at the excellent readme.html that comes with MQ.

readme.html wrote:/target [pc|npc|corpse|pet] [class <class>] [race <race>] [range <min> <max>] [noalert #] [zradius <zheight>] [nopcnear <radius>] [notid|id <spawnid>] [spawnname|myself|mycorpse|alert #]
Targets nearest mob meeting all requirements
pc, npc, corpse, pet - limits matching to specific type of spawn (default all)

class <class> - limits matching to a particular class

race <race> - limits matching to a particular race

range <min> <max> - limits matching to level range

zradius <zheight> - limits matching to a Z height

noalert # - limits matching to spawns that do not have an alert that would be active at their location

nopcnear <radius> - limits matching to spawns that do not have a PC within radius of it

id <spawnid> - limits matching to a specific spawn via id

notid <spawnid> - limits matching to anything BUT a specific spawn via id

spawnname, myself, mycorpse, alert # - limits matching to those that contain "name" or are "yourself", "your corpse" or a particular alert

Think I tried a string very similar to yours already Deathspiral, but it was having problems with targetting mobs that were above/below me.. Mainly using this for farming a single level of a dungeon that has multiple levels.

Gonna go try out your code asap and let ya know how it worked.. Thanks in advance for the input guys =)

Still doesnt work =( Its still trying to target mobs that are above or below me. The place im at my Z loc is 104.. its targetting mobs that are on very diff Z axis.

Try and set a loop with an if then. Set a variable on your Z-axis coord and if target is >= whatever distance on the Z you want to limit then your script would retarget.

The problem with all this is that you will continually target that mob til something moves in range...basically looping but maybe that's what you want

Basically, use what was started above and add a variable check in relation to your Z. Yes it's redudant, but it might solve your problem.

are you using the zradius command? bring it down to ten and see if it works... if not its possibly bugged

AFTER you try those and submit your results :)

/filter zrange <zrange>

Filters /target, /where, /face, /itemtarget, and alerts to a specific +/-Z height
Not saved, default is off, values 10000 or higher turn it off

I got it working, but its kinda buggy.. about every 50 targets it will go crazy and try and target a mob too far below or above me.. So I just added in this.

/if $target(z)>150 /goto :above
/if $target(z)<-50 /goto :below

It basically then just tells me that the mob isnt in the Z height I want and delays a few seconds then finds a new target..

can you repro the bug and post it in development?

It's probably the same bug that's in /target radius in the IRC release.
Haven't looked at it yet, but know it doesn't work from a test in steamfont while PLing a friend.
