Cheeky little Monkey. Should we really be able to force a different target? Seems wrong to me.
Force settarget pobably shouldn't be allowed, if not code wise, rule wise. Just like illusioning party target isn't allowed too.
Can't you just like... make a script to keep your target set, and if it ever changed without certain pre-requisites, it you change it back to what it was previously?
I know I can do sorts of things like that with some of my anti-theft stuff on Nexus. If a very specific alias is not said to take X out of my pack, then I will immediately put X back in pack. The alias turns off a script I have to put anything I take from my pack, back in, then instantly does what I want it to (in my case, take gold from pack), then turns the script back on.
I figure you could probably have something similar set up for if your target changes without you willing. So you do a thing with settarget, instead of doing it naturally it's through an alias like.. iunno. "SETDIE <Person>" Which will disable your target revert-er... then target set person, then re-enable it. Idk. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

I use the in-game targeting for denizen health tracking. My actual targeting for combat is client-side, as well as my aliases and such. I use the in-game command separator to ensure my commands are still 'one' command. Although, I will agree that being able to change a target is up there with illusions of party targets, "You have been slain by" illusions, and the like. It becomes a battle of if your system is anti-illusion or not, and that isn't as fun.
It's "possible" to stop that sort of thing, it's more a question of what's "reasonable", and whether every newb coming into the game needs to set up that complex apparatus to stop something that could be prevented by making it non-forceable.
-- Grounded in but one perspective, what we perceive is an exaggeration of the truth.
Oh, well definitely. I'm just talking about a potential stopper for it currently. Can you still force people to engage (like actually kneel down "MARRY ME" engage)?
Actually that brings up a good question. Can you force someone who's mindless to follow you into an open PVP area to slaughter them without worry?
It is against the rules, same as illusioning credit trades and the like.. To my knowledge it's not written down, just been posted about in the news before somewhere.. Should suggest it to be written!
Should suggest that ruling be overturned, actually, since it's ridiculous
If you want to rely on automated targeting, you should be subject to illusions.
Automated targeting in Party calls would be OOC, I think, so you'd be illusioning an OOC thing. Party can be OOC or IC, after all.
Doesn't hugely bother me either way, since I prefer to manually change targets.

On the topic of forcing SETTARGET, some commands should just be considered OOC. The CURING commands, SETALIAS and CLEARALIAS, the QUEUE commands, etc. are all examples; we're sometimes forced to talk about them in a semi-IC context, blurring the line slightly, but they're actions we take as players to make the game playable, not actions that our characters are actually taking. I think we can all agree that it shouldn't be possible to force somebody to CURING OFF or CLEARQUEUE ALL or CLEARALIAS <alias you know they use from reading their logs> during a fight, so I see no reason for SETTARGET to be forceable.
Interesting to see a S&B log, thank you. Had to go back and look over it a few times to see what you were doing with torso and leg breaks, but quickly made sense. Dalran seemed to not be tracking your parry too well though
Saw this in a log from Annwyn skirmishes last night. I had just burst and this all occurred between two prompts. No prompt between the two combinations bc queuing likes to eat prompts.

The blade of Atalkez is a blur as he moves forward, slicing into you.
The idea of eating or drinking is repulsive to you.
Atalkez swings his shield around, smashing your temple with a backhanded blow.
Your mind swims as dizziness overtakes you.
The blow sets your head to spinning - you cannot concentrate on anything.
The blade of Farrah is a blur as she moves forward, slicing into you.
You notice that your sweat glands have begun to rapidly secrete a foul, oily
substance.
Farrah drives the edge of her shield into your throat, cutting off your air

Should make it a point to smudge Dagaz more often too.

Simply just smashed at this legs until he fall apart:

Went for maxium fractures on legs to mangle both on devastate, mixed with torso fractures. Managed to devastate just as he snapped, which was nice:

Excellent fights and all could have gone either way very easily. Just how Achaean combat should be

It was originally deemed to not be because Parties were incorrectly ruled to be OOC when we first messed up Shallam with it.
Months later the decision was overturned and given Parties are by default IC, illusions party calls, and therein target calls, was allowed again.

Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
