Targeting Option

Hi all,

I'm a KB/Mouse player and I've been trying to figure out how to get "Click Filter Targets" (Character Config screen-->Target Tab) working.

Similarly, the Target Filter Setting under the filter tabs.

Would appreciate the help :D

Those filters work when the keybind for filter is pressed while clicking. I think the default is X. So you hold down X and while clicking your filter is active while holding it down.

I tried holding X and then using tab to switch but nothing happen. The same for target cycling.

Anyone has any idea? ^^;

bump again.need to understand how this works.

Why is it so hard to understand what an in-game option do? Would be nice to understand how the filters and targeting system work so we can use the tab button to switch between NPC/mobs/party.

Yeah I'd also like to switch between targets using the tab button on the keyboard, like in FFXI. Someone please help?

Because, it is called "Click" Filtering. Not Target Filtering. They are two different thing.
When X is pressed, and if you configured properly, your mouse-click will only select those filtered targets. It does not affect tab in anyway.
AFAIK, Click-Filtering only helps those with KB+M, while Target-Filtering settings only helps those with GamePad. I may be wrong about previous statement, but Click-Filtering is indeed working, because I am a healer and find it very helpful to target players in FATES.

What are the "Enable Target cycling" under filters do? I can't figure out which key to press to benefit from that option.

The "Target cycling" is under "Target Filtering", which AFAIK only available for Game Pad, doesn't work with KB+M. Though I really wish I were wrong.

Target Cycling is 2 different settings for when you have your weapon is Sheathed and when it is Drawn (the two listings in order). In Keyboard settings, the Z key will toggle these states (the Micro Menu also has an icon of a Sword that will rotate to display what your current state is - Blade down for Sheathed, Blade at an angle upward for Drawn).

Filter Customization is in fact not only available to Game Pad, but it is not pre-mapped for Keyboard. In the keybind menu for Targetting (second tab) the last 4 settings are for the Keyboard shortcuts for Top Left, Bottom Left, Top Right, Bottom Right respectively. You will have to find keys on your keyboard that you feel comfortable placing them in.

Bear in mind:
These filters will only effect the targetting via numpad 4 and 6 (the keyboard soft target keys). You can rebind Tab and Shift+Tab (by default they only cycle Enemies) to the cursor keys in the System tab of the Keybind menu, but bear in mind you may need to set the Confirm button as well (because using the soft target, you will need to confirm the target to change the anchored target - which Tab does by default). Or you could get used to targetting via the numpad, using Tab when you need to flick about for Enemies.
