Alliance targeting as WHM

[Greatguardian]

Those are just keystrokes. You do use a keyboard right? or do they make those wacky mini keyboard controllers for 360 now? I remember they had something like that for PS2. It was like a giant controller with a mini keyboard in the middle.

No, he's right. Ctrl/Alt F1-F6 targeting is a function of Windower binding. It's loaded in init.txt by default. Xbox, PS2, and non-Windower PC users can't use the additional keys. There are chat commands for alliance targeting if you want to be super tedious, though - otherwise, the Windower binds wouldn't work in the first place.

See for yourself,

// *** ALLIANCE TARGET KEYS ***
// This lets you push Alt+F1-6 and Ctrl+F1-6 to to target Alliance members.
bind ^f1 input /ta <a10>
bind ^f2 input /ta <a11>
bind ^f3 input /ta <a12>
bind ^f4 input /ta <a13>
bind ^f5 input /ta <a14>
bind ^f6 input /ta <a15>
bind !f1 input /ta <a20>
bind !f2 input /ta <a21>
bind !f3 input /ta <a22>
bind !f4 input /ta <a23>
bind !f5 input /ta <a24>
bind !f6 input /ta <a25>

As you can see, the syntax is similar to the <p1> - <p5> syntax for party targeting. <a10> targets Alliance party 1, member 0. <a24> targets Alliance party 2, member 4. Remember that members are enumerated from 0-5 instead of 1-6 when using direct chatline targeting. Members are listed sequentially as they appear in your party list. Eg, the third person on the list of your party is <p2>.

Cumbersome, but that's what it is.

I didn't realize that that was a windower thing. I've never actually tried to target like that. Good to know.
