Targeting options. Please add it!

[ChiefCurrahee]

/targetmode A B C work like this:

A: Up/Down selects PT members Left/Right selects targets based on current target filter (all/party/friendly/enemy)

B: Up/Down selects Target Filter (all/party/friendly/enemy) Left/Right selects targets based of current filter

C: Up/Down selects PT members Left/Right selects all targets (party or enemy)

Maybe my OP should read : Target priority should be changed to a cone shape moving from closest to furthest target on direction of selection.

I am using Type B now, and it has no ALL.

I am happy with this mode (Type B) because it eliminates the "ALL" targeting filter which I do not use, while remains easy and convenient for me to toggle back and forth between the filter ENEMY and FRIENDLY.


By the way I 100% support your OP. It would be great if they change how the target tabbing priority works, or better yet yet us select how the priority goes.

Any word from dev or reps. Even if anything is being done to targetign priority?

STEP one, allow for the left/right option to target and cycle through enemies ONLY on those sides. (Aka if its' left of you, pushing right wont eventually cycle to it.)
STEP 2 (the BIGGEST one)
When your weapon is out, Left and right target enemies ONLY and up/down ONLY cycle through PT members.
when the weapon is put away, left and right target 'all'.

/targetmode A B C work like this:

A: Up/Down selects PT members Left/Right selects targets based on current target filter (all/party/friendly/enemy)

Actually, how do I set up Targeting A's filter? I tried clicking on it, and nothing. Is there a text command?
Wish there was a quick way to adjust the filter of A w/o clicking. (Similar to how I suggested active/passive mode.)

Also, short explanations of each shoulda been in the UI.

[ChiefCurrahee]

you can set target filter under: Main Menu > Config > Targeting

or i think you just type /targetmode A , or /tagertmode b ect ect

[ChiefCurrahee]

but these mode don't have anything to do with target priority.

I want an option that allows you to select targets closest to furthest away.

Right now it only prioritizes from left to right or right to left not taking distance into account. meaning if you are targeting from left to right, it will target the left most mob first even if it's the furthest mob away.

Generally when you appempt to target something it's most likely closer to you than the at the edge of your target range.

I can't change filter mode for target when I use /targetmode a either. Was why I stick to mode B.

No, I mean, once I AM on Target Mode A, how do I change the filter, so it is not always ALL?
If I can't change the FILTER of Target Mode A, then it is no different than C.
(Which I assumed was the idea.)

Target Mode A can only change filters for gamepad users. Why? No clue, but that's how it works.

The targeting modes (for gamepad users) as they are, are pretty great. I dunno, I don't have any trouble targeting and changing filters easily on the run. Then again Target Mode A is amazing on a gamepad lol.

[Felis]

What the fk is the difference between Target mode A and C because both say "All" for me, and do the exact same thing.

Because you don't play with a controller. You need a controller for Target Mode A to switch the target type. Target Mode C is just All and not more.

And please give me an option to turn of "Target what is Targetting me", its SOOO annoying being forced to a specific target because its hitting me.

Look at Menu -> Config

And my personal favorite the complete bassackwards priority settings for menu key navigation.... oh you want to target a party member, but your ability macro didn't process correctly so now you are cycling through all your action tabs... now the ability DID activate properly but you are stuck on the wrong action tab and so you think you are using a weapon skill but in fact you are now stuck in party target for a cure spell that is no longer needed.

Menu -> Config -> Keyboard -> make Hotkeys F1 = partymember 1, F2 = partymember 2 , ..., F7 = partymember 7 -> press the F# keys to target your partymembers during the fight
