Item Target Broken

Post by Losingteam » Fri Oct 17, 2003 5:25 pm

Currently /itemtarget says it targets the item, but right now it is not targeting the item. Maybe some way to fix this? I know I am probably posting in the wrong forum, but all well, it will get seen sooner or later

Yes, it does target the item, and it is not broken.

Are you expecting to see something like Forge, Brewing Barrel, or a ground spawn to appear in your target window? If so you will be waiting forever, because it won't happen.

/items seems to be broken though.

It's not showing any names though it does seems to find various ground spawns.

/Items was nerfed by VI a couple patches ago.
No more Item IDs in the struct ;(

Maybe I was a little unclear when I talk about not being able to target it. I try to do /face fast nopredict on the item that I target. Then when I do /face fast nopredict it doesn't face me towards the item. And I recall that before when I used to need to do this that it would face me towards the item. So I could only figure that something in targeting the items was messed up, mainly because I know that /face fast nopredict still works on NPCs and PCs. Hope that clarifies the issue I am having at the momment

Try /face fast item.

Using nopredict isn;t necessary because the item shouldn't be moving.

Even if the item could move, I don't put that in the fake spawn struct so it'd still look stationary ;)

Is there anyway to target the next item with /itemtarget? How does /itemtarget choose which item to target?

Thanks for any help!

"nopredict" was also changed. It's the default now, you don't have to specify it anymore. If you want prediction you must specify "predict".
