Hotkey for Inspect/Opening the Description
« on: August 14, 2006, 05:32:08 pm »
Hello all,
Is there a hotkey to inspect an NPC/PC or to open the creature dialoge (where you can choose to sell/buy, inspect, train a.s.o.) and for the "loot dialogue" after a fight?
Its rather hard to do that by mouse with lag.
I would appreciate help if possible.
Thanks

I think the command /target_context_menu brings up the same icons as right-clicking would.
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

Unfortunately I cannot check right now if it works, but I guess you are looking for a command like

/show interact

guessing from the name of the XML file defining its look... We may need a developer to tell us if this is possible at all, if my guess was wrong.

I think the command /target_context_menu brings up the same icons as right-clicking would.

Sounds possible; unfortunately, this command is not yet documented in the Appendix A.3. Combat & Targeting Commands!

/loot, becuase i'll still have the critter targeted
/info, or something like that cause i'll have the char targeted.
may laanx frighten the shadow from my path.
hardly because the shadow built the lexx.
the shadow will frighten laanx from my path.

I remember using that command many times :) Looks like it's not useable anymore though... You'll have to just use separate commands: /train, /buy, /sell, /inspect, /loot, etc.

The command name is "/target_context"
it's possible that /show interact could very well work, but you'd be safer with the other :)

That webguide could use some updating, it doesn't even have the changes to /target  :(

/target_context worked!  :D
Thanks a lot, only problem is that the context menu always comes up then over my macro menue, centered would be nicer.

It comes up over the macro menu even when you have a target selected on screen? Or with no target selected on screen? [Erg, I guess you would have to have a target selected, but it comes up over the macro menu consistently no matter what target is selected?]

Without a selected target noting at all happens, with selected target it comes up over the macro menue (where the corrosponding hotkey/button is) almost always. I could probably try setting a hotkey and see what happens then.

The menu appears where you mouse is, for faster clicking :) Also, so that when you right click, it's right on the target.
