T4rg3t5

[random slate]

Extracted from my Starwind Skunkworks after months of inactivity, T4rg3t5 has now been refined and brought to you as a standalone mod.

From the mod description:

T4rg3ts is a comprehensive Dark Souls-style lock-on targeting system for OpenMW that provides precise enemy tracking, visual target indicators, and intelligent combat automation. With T4rgets, an enemy's health is displayed according to the color of the icon. Each enemy has five phases from full to wounded to dead, with the actual icon color mixing between the two nearest colors. This means you always know how healthy the enemy is in combat!

Target indicators also grow in size dynamically according to how far away your target is. Additionally, it is impossible to target enemies which are offscreen, and the mod does not use any raycasts unless the CheckLOS setting is enabled - what this means for you is no bad targets, and high performance (as much as can be expected from updating a UI element every frame, anyway).

T4rg3t5 comes with a full suite of 31 icons to use for lock-on indicators. Additionally, it's very easy to create new target lock icons for T4rg3t5 for your own mods or personal use.

Does this have controller support?

[random slate]

The target lock binding will definitely work on controller. I'm not 100% sure about the flick switching. If it does, it should be on the right stick.

Ah it's falling together now

[random slate]

yes it is

[frigid sleet]

Does this work like the lock on from this mod, but without the sometimes 360 degree wobbling from the PC?

Seriously can't wait for this

[south shore]

Aimbot. You've been reported

[random slate]

Yeah pretty much. My target selection is a little more aggressive though. When I used dynamic camera I noticed I could target people who weren’t even in the fight and got myself killed a couple times in awkward ways; you won’t notice that with this.

[unkempt hatch]

You could try to lock the auto aim behind the marksman skill

Or make the auto aim gradually more magnetic as the skill gets higher

[random slate]

Meh. As-is, it works pretty well. Targeting follows 3 simple rules: whatever you lock onto has to be an NPC or creature, onscreen, and in combat. Then it selects the nearest one to the center of your screen, optionally going only for targets on the left or right.

It works well enough I don’t necessarily feel the need to make it skill-based or anything. But it could maybe use some tweaks on the orientation math.

Locking on an enemy with this while having dynamic camera makes the camera go apeshit while in first person view
I have the lock function unbound in dynamic camera
Known problem or something probably from other mods intervening somehow ?

[flat wind]

I'm sure they are messing with each other

[random slate]

Dynamic camera's worked okay for me so far, but I haven't tested them together extensively.

[short lodge]

ill jsut choose one

[short lodge]

works fine on 3p view

[random slate]

I've been in enough fights that I think it's probably something else, have you tried turning one or the other off?

[short lodge]

yeah ill be doing that a bit later jsut wanted to ask before i try

just being lazy

[short lodge]

oh yeah i did try disabling dynamic camera and target worked fine, thought you meant if i switched around other mods to find the culprit

Hello, does this play well on Android Morrowind

It automatically lock ins to an npc during combat?

[random slate]

I've heard it does! I don't really play on android myself. But it works well on my anbernic.

There's a setting you can turn on that makes it lock on automatically when combat starts, but it's off by default. Otherwise you can set a button for it.

[floral folio]

May you have a nice day, thank you

[random slate]

you too!

[floral folio]

I'm loving it 10/10, just a little issue with companions

[random slate]

oh, you can lock onto them, can't you?

[floral folio]

Sometimes or maybe when a combat starts yeah

[floral folio]

Yep

But it's fine

[random slate]

Damnit.

That's easy to fix!

I literally never play with companions though genuinely did not ever think to check

[floral folio]

Now you know xD

[floral folio]

The camera would pan first to the companion then next to the enemy. I meant by this when the combat starts

[random slate]

Hm. Can you get a vid of that?

[floral folio]

Sure

[floral folio]

Can't seem to trigger this behavior again, I'll send a vid once I encounter it again

[random slate]

Could be a coincidence? I've noticed some awkward behaviors with dynamic camera every so often too, if you use that.

I, uh, may have rewritten it for... my tastes

do you use DC?

[floral folio]

Nope

[floral folio]

[round tundra]

Good idea might be disabling targetting companions when having weapon out. With spells you can do positive impact like healing or buffing so it makes sense when spell stance would be ready

[floral folio]

Oh yeah I don't have a companion here

[random slate]

oh. Woaahhh. Huh.

Is this a modded location, temple of mephala?

[floral folio]

Finally got a phone controller to play with this mod
