Feat Req: /Who Distance

I'd like to see an option to filter /target to mobs within a certain distance of the character.

And/Or an Option to Sort the /target so you target the closest matching mob.

That's how it is already... to target closest matching mob, just type in /target mobname... to target at a distance use the radius tag (it's on the documentation)...

/who npc radius 9999 (or whatever distance required).

Hmm, the radius optin is limited in 1 way though, it matches at up to the specified distance.
I wouldnt mind being able to give a minimum distance, as well as a maximum distance, perhaps a bit like the range option for levels.

I've done some testing on this, does not target the closest matching mob. /who seems to list mobs in order of distance but go to WK, /target npc bear, run to the bear you have targeted, You will pass many other bears on your way there.

I'm not saying you are wrong but this isn't really an accurate test. Due to the fact that mobs move and are constantly spawning in the game, what was the closest mob 1 second ago may not be the closest mob now. By the time you run to the mob, any number of new bears could have spawned closer to you or any number of bears could have moved closer to you.

Thanks

Well in this case I've seen conditions where there are visible bears on the screen and the one /target chooses is on the other end of the zone - and in WK that's a big difference in distance. Just try running Hunter.mac in WK and you'll see what I'm takling about.
