Any way to force targeting?

[alltrueist]

Hey all,
I'm trying to fix a problem PureSWTOR has been having regarding Heal targeting. In short, sometimes (frequently) the bot will get stuck targeting the player instead of the HealingTarget. Therefore, it will constantly cast emergency heals on the player while the intended healing target slowly dies.

I know that this problem stems from needing an enemy target in order for the rotation to run, and I know that this issue is sometimes solved by loading HealBot from the BotLoader plugin, but "sometimes" isn't really good enough when we want to FP or OPs heal.

Basically, I'd like a way for the bot to soft-target the party member that needs healing, without getting locked on a specific target. This would require setting the new target as part of the Lock/Priority Selector most likely. The problem I've run into is that I can't find any Target Handling in any of the BW methods.

Any help would be appreciated, even (or especially) if all you can do is point me to some code that works in another BW routine or a HB routine. Thanks much!

Nothing Im aware you can do in routine. Hence Ama made the plug-ins. Kinda what plug-ins are for to do task such as you listed. I will take a dive into it a little today see if something comes up that I missed before. But Im pretty sure the way he did it was correct.
