Subject mob targetting and summoning
Hi all, Some small but hopefully very useful tweaks: 3015. Enable precise char targeting using 'w.', 'a.', 'g.' prefix (Bobble) 3016. Group members (including NPCs) can always be summoned/gated (Bobble) The prefixes w, a, g stand for world, area and group respectively. When using w, target selection does not depend on the player's location. When using a, target selection only depends on the player's area. When using g, the target is selected from group members. You can combine the flags with the number.name format as prefix.number.name, e.g. "stalk a.2.rat" will help you find the second rat in the area. The targeting of group members matches the way they are displayed in the group command. This allows a little trick to summon all your zombies to you: Assuming you have 5 zombies, repeat 'c summon g.5.zombie' 5 times. Works because summoned group members will move up in the summon list... ;) And "can always be summoned/gated" just means that the NOSUM flag is ignored. Cheers, Bobble
