Targeting idea

[ChiefCurrahee]

To make targeting easier it should change, or at least be made an option to have cone targeting. Being able to select targets from closest to furthest away in a fan shape would prove to be leaps and bounds ahead of the current targeting system.


from right to left, or left to right (depending on direction you press) selects the next mob closest to you moving out in a "V" cone.
left to right:

|-------8-----------------------------|
----|------------------7----------|
------|-----5-------------6-----|
---------|-------4-----------|
------------|----2---3----|
---------------|---1--|
-----------------|X|

right to left:
|-------8-----------------------------|
----|------------------7----------|
------|-----6-------------5-----|
---------|-------4-----------|
------------|----3---2----|
---------------|---1--|
-----------------|X|

instead of
left to right:
|-------1-----------------------------|
----|------------------7----------|
------|-----2-------------8-----|
---------|-------4-----------|
------------|----3---6----|
---------------|---5--|
-----------------|X|

right to left:
|-------8-----------------------------|
----|------------------2----------|
------|-----7-------------1-----|
---------|-------6-----------|
------------|----5---3----|
---------------|---4--|
-----------------|X|

which is what we currently have.

Something like this would work great when trying to target mobs that you are engaged with espesially after the link system.
