Targeting System

[--Chris--]

In my opinion a targeting system for missile type spells (cause wounds,magic bullet etc) should be added....maybe saying something like /mark <account name> would work but they must be in the same level or maybe it should just follow the closest player infront of you O.o Dragging the icons from the spell menu and having to put it on someone is kinda touch if they are moving and attacking you not to mention you still have to cast it which also takes time x.x

And they see the icon comming, which alerts them of a spell about to get cast, so they just move outta the way :o

no /mark would not be good

this would be better...
double clicking on the person/monster and then you would see a green arrow above him moving up and down but it would not appear on the other players screen.

I think this is much better then dragging an icon to the person x.x

eep! I meant to say /target =P
Anyways, I like your idea more Selzar *hopes Stefan sees this.*

That's pretty much considered spam, yanno.

typing /target or /mark or /whatever would be much too slow and slumpy... it would just be another friggin degrade to wizards

A better idea would be to have something where you press the macro for your spell or double click it and a box would surround you, then you can use the mouse button to click on the target you wish to cast the spell on and just double click him or hit enter and it will cast it on him/it.

I like this, that way you can switch spells quickly while still aiming at one person Then you can levitate them and cast a fireball followed by some magic bullets if you're fighting or give someone the stat spells, heal, bless, protections, etc. if you're not fighting. Maybe right click to de-select, and auto-deselect if if they get too far away, and if nobody is selected then all spells get cast upon yourself no matter who's in front of you :P i hate when i'm about to cast strength or dexterity and someone rushes in front of me

Yes .. a targeting system is definitely needed. Selzar's idea is pretty good.

Because I put smileys is spamming ?!
I was nearly showing my expression in words I could not say.

So shush!

I was thinking something along the lines of z-targeting in zelda cuz I hate having to use keyboard AND mouse...
actually I think there shouldn't be targeting at all but oh well

I don't like using mouse much either, but there needs to be targeting so most spells actually have a use :o

[Juron Pilo]

there does? why? effect spells should have a range of touch... attack spells should be aoe or projectile.... WHY THE FUDGE WOULD ANYTHING NEED TO TARGET A PLAYER WITHOUT SHOOTING AT HIM OR BEING IN CLOSE RANGE?
