| Post subject: | Minotaur target bug? |
I've seen several minoaturs around now. Thanks for adding them. But I can't get the game to target them without typing the fill minotaur term. For example, "Look Min", "L mino", "L minot" does not work. Whats the deal? I CAN target them with with adjective easily enough, but I like targeting on race. Anyone else having such trouble? N_G |

targeting by race has always been bugged as far as I know. |

If the char is PC, have to type out the whole race. If the char is NPC, can truncate. Edit: You can use truncated forms of the adj of any char but if you're targeting the race of the char, player-chars cannot be targeted with truncated forms of the race. I have used this information to target NPCs in a room full of player-chars. |

Heh, not to burst your bubble but "helf" does not conform to the truncation rules. |

'helf' and 'delf' are abbreviations, not truncations |

Yeah, they added those options a few years ago (maybe even before that) because half-elf and deep-elf are just ridiculously long compared to other races and the "-" character made it even harder. You still cannot target any PC by their race unless you type out the full race name or the coded abbreviations. |
