Alliance targeting as WHM

[FrankReynolds]

I've always just used <stpc>... never really had a problem. What they need is <stparty>, <stparty2>, and <stparty3> so you can isolate full parties instead of having ot hunt individuals. And fuck F-keys...

What they really need to do is pay the guy who made "Blink me not" a couple hundred bucks to revise his code and make it part of the official client. No dev time required.

There is absolutely nothing dangerous or game breaking about that app that I am aware of other than the fact that it breaks ToS in it's current state. It would be nice if people could use it.

Only downside I've noticed with stpt/stal is that it can sometimes take more time to locate a target and run close to them if they're out of magic range. Still beats losing the target all the time, though, but i think it would be better if SE eventually figured out a way to not lose target when changing gear.

Running to someone who is out of range is the same regardless of targeting method. And I don't see how your spending extra time to target them compared to Tab Tab Tab Shift Tab. Only targeting system that is faster is the F1~F6 for party members, but that doesn't work for alliance members which is what we're talking about.

I was talking about party targeting, because I saw that being brought up earlier in the thread. F1-6ing and locking on with "h" will let me instantly run in the direction of the player, meaning I won't have to actually look for where he is before i decide which way to run. It's an advantage targeting the "old" way has over stpt, but this advantage, as i said, doesn't outweight the advantage of not losing target all the time.

/ta <stal>
/lockon

/ta <stal>
/lockon

Hmm. I'll have to try that.

If you do:
/ta <stal>
/lockon
/ma "Cure" <t>

Will it still keep target if they blink (at work, can't try)?

[hiko]

no, only replace

Hit F2-6 for the party member that you want to target, hit h to check the direction you're running, then hit the /ma "Cure" <stal> macro. Now if they gear swap while you're running to them, you already have the arrow by their name in alliance list so if they gear swap, you will lose your /lockon but don't have to re-target.

When using <stal> the arrow will start next to your own name if you are targetting a mob/NPC/nothing however, if you are targetting someone in your alliance, it will start next to their name.

Use Alt + F1-F6 and Ctrl + F1-F6 to target other parties in your alliance.

Does that work without third-party tools? I'm looking at xbox users, specifically.
