    Targeting suggestions

    After playing a bit more last night, after the latest patch to targeting, I thought I'd type up a few suggestions on improvements I would like to see to the targeting system. I'll add more as I remember things, but I also wanted to start a proper discussion on it, as I didn't see a set location for it (though I may have missed it in another section, direct me there if I did).

    Anyways, current thoughts:

    General
    • When the subtarget cursor comes up (for selecting a target after pressing the hotkey for, say, a spell), only allow the cursor to select targets that the action can be used on (pcs, npcs, etc).

    Targeting Keys
    • Cycle through party members - this function shares the same keys as cycling through hotbars (at least on the keyboard). Because of this, the functionality is inaccessible during combat, when we need it the most. Change key layout (and allow these keys to be reassigned)
    • Targeting hotkeys (defaulted to F1, F2, etc...) do not work when selecting a subtarget. Allow their use in this situation.
    • Allow the "select next target" and "select previous target" (currently on right and left arrow key) to be reassigned.

    Macros
    • Add more targeting options for macro use. For example, bring back target selection terms like <stpc>, <stnpc>, <r>, etc...
