Scan through different targets possible?

[spudgun]

I haven't wrote a script for anything yet and this might be a tough one to jump into. So, before i attempt it is this possible:

Nuking mobs in cluster once seperately. some may have a similar name and some may occupy the same area space.

<target npc>
/echo $target(name)
<write the name down>
<repeat this until you have the spawn name of each npc>


add this to your code:
/varset a(1,1) a_spawn_name00
/varset a(1,2) a_spawn_name01
/varset a(1,3) a_spawn_name02
...
/varset v99 3 | need a number to represent the number of creatures in your array

then:
/for v1 1 to $v99
/target id $id($a(1,$v1))
/next v1

is a sample of how to access/target each creature in that array. I may have left out somthing simple here as I just typed this code w/o testing it at all, but thats the general idea behind the best way to do it.

So i need to discover the ID name of each mob. Ok, so if its a total of 34 mobs that may or may not be in this cluster of mobs how can i make sure it only tries to nuke all the closest mobs or the mobs ive pulled as opposed to trying to nuke all 34 mobs until it hits the ones it can reach.

I appreciate your fast help on this steadily slowing board

Tons of ways to do that.. use $distance

/varset v88 $id($a(1,$v1))
/if n $v88!=0 /if n $distance(blah)<VALUE
{
/target id $v88
}

or somthing like that :-)

How would I find the closest mob from anouther mob? I.E. find the mob that is closest to target (anouther mob)?

/target nearalert 2 alert 1

targets the alert 1 nearest alert 2.
