Problem I found while marco'ing bonechips in Kurn's

It would be nice if there could be a way to target only things that are at or near the same elevation as you. What I have found is that you have a tendency to target things that are a floor or 2 down from you and just stand there trying to attack something you will never reach. Perhaps you could add something to /target to take into account your elevation and your mobs elevation. IE add a switch to target mobs that are near the same elevation as you are.

Can you still cast on them? heh...

Which would you prefer, ease or flexibilty?
1) /target evenz : only target spawns +/- 25 z units from yours
2) /target zheight <threshhold> : same as above, +/- threadhold

His problem is this (i think):

You are standing at 0,1,100
Mob1 is at 0,3,0
Mob2 is at 0,30,100

Even though Mob2 is technically closer, being on the same floor, Mob1 would get targeted since it doesn't take Z coordinates into consideration.

I kind of like the idea of being able to add the z switch

Plazmic,
Being able to add z in there anywhere would be nice. Just as an added switch. This is not need in overland places because your Z will change quite a bit. However in a place like Kurn's tower where you maybe have something directly under you by 2 floors and it be closer to a mob on your same floor.

So the feature request is this:
1. Be able to set z to some value close to your current value. If the monster is outside that value to ignore it when targeting.

The Flexibility is best.

2) /target zheight <threshhold> : same as above, +/- threadhold

Since keeping the Z static like +/- 25 could mean more requests for a fix.
My perception is my reality.
