New keyword request for target_custom_near and etc.

[Andreah]

I'd really like to be able to select the nearest actual player, even if they're not my teammate.

 

These slash commands use these keywords (from the unofficial wiki):

 

I'd like to exclude all pets, not just my pets, so a keyword like "notpet" would be great.

 

While we're at it (if we're at it), being able to limit players to "leaguemate" as well as "teammate" would be nice.

The whole /target... hierarchy could use a refresh. I'd suggest deprecating the fixed target commands (not removing, just demoting) and adding the three keywords you suggest to the custom ones. Maybe alias them to /target_next, _prev and _near as well.

 

Other than the (apparently useless but sometimes needed base/notbase pair, those three additions would cover everything I can think of for targeting.

 

(I'll ignore the typoes. Sigh.)

Seconded! Or thirded, as the case may be. 🙂

I'd be all about adding these ones:

1. enemy_underling
2. enemy_minion
3. enemy_liutenant
4. enemy_boss
5. enemy_elite
6. enemy_av (target av or hero class)
7. enemy_monster
8. enemy_gm

That way we can make targeting macros based on enemy rank.

Enemy_gm ??? Nice.

 

I agree the enemy ranks would be very useful, but maybe too useful!

I'd be against that, for a lot of reasons. I know being able to target the bosses is a fun, kewl idea, but I think this crosses the line into automating part of the game that really needs to remain in wetware.

 

But completing the set of basic search options is,.. overdue.
