Target of Target Abilty

Post by Jaegar » Fri Mar 05, 2004 1:04 pm

Anyone know how or if its possible to use the distance mods etc.. for the targets target leadership ability window? Or are they only available for the original target window currently?

In GoD, there is a new Leadership ability to display in a new popup window with your target's target. For example, if you are a cleric you normally have the main tank targetted. If you have Leadership ability, you will also have a window showing your target's target, ie the mob he is fighting.

He's asking if the ui can be modified to show distance, level, type, etc for the target's target window.

I'm guess the answer would be if there is an .xml file, then it can be done.

Ah, I get it.

gameboy is right, if there is a "target's target" XML file you can make all the adjustments to it just as if it were any other custom window. Just pick apart one of the MQ enhanced target windows for what you need to do it.

Yea did that and it wouldnt work for some reason, just shows me two regular target boxes instead of my targets target in the other box. Would I need to change all the $target lines to something else? Heres what I came up with and it wouldnt work if anyone has any ideas what I did wrong.

Thats because YOUR target is the $target() variable. You would have to find some way of finding your $target($target()) which I am only making up (that won't work).

Perhaps MQ will be modified and that variable will eventually be added. In the mean time, I don't think it will be possible to do anything. If you are experimenting, if you can somehow get your target's $target(id) you could use the $spawn(id,level) or $spawn(id,class) type thing to display it...
