Tab Target in “Classic” uses the Legion client Tab target, is there a way to narrow the cone on tab target so that I can have the more aimed tab target when playing melee?
I have found ways to change the range, but narrow the cone is important. Any aid would help.
How do you change its range? It typically targets the closest mob in-front of your characters, then cycles through the furthest ones, back to the closest one.
C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\WTFInside here you will find a Config file. You can use notepad to open this; be sure to un-check the box to associate file.
So far the alterations I have made are
SET TargetNearestDistance “800.000000”
SET TargetPriorityIncludeBehind “0”
SET TargetNearestUseOld “1”
This has gotten me close to “vanilla - MoP” tab targeting, but the problem is the thing does not always select the target that is literally nearest me, there could be a target literally in front of me, but instead the tab target will for no apparent reason select a target that is someplace way back in the back… This is no kidding 100X better than default, and plays a lot more friendly if you’re playing a melee like warrior or druid or rogue or whatever.
Right now I am breaking open the old MoP client since its the closest working relative to the retail engine that should have similar-ish working components to see how the tab targeting works in that game, but so far because I am kinda crap at this reverse engineering thing I have yet to work out why MoP and before engine is so much better and how to implement that system into this modern turd of an engine.
If any of you gods of code, settings, whatever are out there reading this right now and want to contribute to un-ruining tab targeting then please tell me where I am goofed here, or where I am on the right path or what can be done… if anything?
Many loves!
I don’t know about limiting the cone size but it feels pretty narrow already on classic_era.

You can try targeting with this 2-line macro instead. Should prevent the quoted problem from occuring.

/targetenemy
ill try it tomorrow.
