Intro:
AutoTarget
is a WoW add-on for automatically selecting the first target that
you mouseoverm that matches your targeting configuration. I got
frustrated with not being able to find a specified target, missing a
click on a moving target and having trouble selecting the desired
target out of a group. With this addon, you just set up your
targetting configuration pass your mouse over potential targets. The
first match found will be selected as your current target.
Installing:
Just
unzip AutoTarget into your "World
of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns" folder.
Configuration:
Enter
the command '/at
config' to bring up the configuration window (or use
the key binding). Check the On button
to enable targeting and select the desired categories for targeting.
If level or health isn't specified (or = 0), it won't be filtered.
Note that a target must match at least one of the checkable
attributes to be selected. If it also has an attribute that is
not selected, it will not be targetted! Only the checkable
attributes will be saved on logout.
If one or more names are
specified, at least one name must match. Lowercase and partial names
are fine. Lua string matching templates can also be used.
Lowest
health: To find the target with the least health (most damage), set
max health to 99 and hold down the Control key while scanning
targets.
Type, Class
and Family: These are drop-down menus
from the corresponding labels. Multiple menu selections can be made.
If no selection is made, the group won't be filtered. Making
selections in more than one group will usually create a filter that
can't be matched. Note: Class selections are only for players (the
player attribute must be enabled) and Family selections are only for
beasts.
Use:
When
AutoTarget is turned on (use '/at'
or key binding to toggle), it will check each potential target that
your mouse passes over. If you currently don't have a living
selected target, it will target the first match that it finds. A
'click' sound will be made when a target is selected. To clear a
selected target, either use the Escape
key or the Clear Target key
binding.
You can replace the current target if you hold down
the Control key while passing your
mouse over potential targets. This will let you consider multiple
matching targets and you can stop when you have targetted the one
you prefer. If you have specified a Max
Health, it will only change targets if the new target has
less health than the current one.
Key
Bindings:
To save typing, the '/at'
and the '/at
config' commands can be bound to a key in the Key
Bindings window, which is selected from the Main
Menu. There is also a key binding for clearing the current
target.
Debug
mode:
If you aren't selecting the expected targets, enter
the command '/at
debug' to toggle debug tracing. When debug is on,
AutoTarget will display each unselected target's name and why
it was skipped in the current chat window. Only the first attribute
that doesn't match will be displayed.
