Interact with mouseover: disable auto-attack feature

hello,

does anyone know why interact with mouseover makes my character auto-attack an enemy target?

for instance, i have interact with mouseover bound to scroll wheel down. if i scroll down on an enemy nameplate, my char will auto-attack that target.

ideally, i would like to disable this feature. i want to scroll on an enemy nameplate to simply target them without auto-attacking.

The only interaction you can perform on an enemy target is attack, if you want to target without interacting, you can simply left click or tab

I assume this is for playing with a controller?

I don’t know if they added soft targetting to Classic or if it’s only on the Dragonflight client (not on to check right now) but, for soft targetting specifically, I believe there are options that were added in Dragonflight with Console variables to allow only soft targetting friendly NPCs and such.
If they added soft targetting in Classic, I would try CVar editing for it.

I know a few of the stuff from retail made it to the Classic client but I would assume that soft targetting probably isn’t one of them and there isn’t any other way than with the soft targetting accessibility option to do this afaik.

no. i’m using mouse and keyboard. i’ll see if CVar edit does the trick
