During your time in Mystavaria you will likely see the word or reference to
a "target" many times. A target refers to any entity that your character can
interact with, be it engaging in combat, casting spells on someone (or
something), interacting with quest objects, or performing many other actions.
Targets can include entities such as other player characters, NPCs (Non-Player
Characters), animals, objects, and items. The concept of targeting allows a
player to focus their attention on a particular entity within the world.
Most commands in Mystavaria are setup to handle what we refer to as an
"internal" target. This is a target that the player can predetermine to
more easily execute actions or attacks against without the need to specify
the target in the syntax.
To set your internal target, use the syntax TARGET <player/NPC/object>.
If you need a reminder of your currently set target, you may simply type
TARGET.
Explained more simply with the example of a punch: with no internal target set,
you would need to specify PUNCH MYSTERIN, where MYSTERIN is the target.
By using TARGET MYSTERIN first, you could then simply type PUNCH, and
the command would automatically assume to punch Mysterin.
Your internal target can be referenced in alises using @target. Review the
information in HELP ALIASES for more details about their purpose and
how to create them.
