Is there a way to target a creature from the command line (not using tab to cycle them)?

<DIV>I mean something like /targetNearest or something....  they had this in SWG, was wondering if it existed here in EQ2...?</DIV>

And in SWG it was used for people to create afk attack macros to get xp and loot<div></div>

No, there isn't.<BR>Atleast not a known command or one meant to be used by players.

" And in SWG it was used for people to create afk attack macros to get xp and loot"Hate to break it to you but they have macro's in EQ2 for that also. They have everything from buff-bots to harvest-bot to exp-bots. Fire them up and walk away. Come back late and you are 5 levels higher or a full pack of rare harvest items.<div></div>

Oh I know. And I have screenshots of them and the multibox gold farmers. Its just something that hits a nerve for me<div></div>

<DIV>It's also used for people who can not use a keyboard as easily as most, or who play in the dark a lot (I am both of these)...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

If it helps... F8 targets the nearest NPC and F7 targets the nearest PC.  Watch out though because you may very well target a shrub or something completely useless that's closer.  Can't write a macro for everything you know <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
