I have been playing with Neverwinter lately and today have come up with a fairly easy way to target a certain entity (player or companion).
It is based on two console commands: hardtargetlock and target.
HardTargetLock is pretty much what gets toggled when you hold down ctrl. You can force it on by sending a /hardtargetlock 1 command. This will you to lock onto the first person (npc or player) that you target.
Target is pretty does what you think it does. Its targets something by name. However it targets it for like a split second and does not move your cursor to them.
To use it just send a /target <name> (example if I wanted to target my companion Gwenndy I would do /target Gwenndy).
Note that these are not case sensitive so /target Gwenndy and /Target gwenndy with both do that same thing.
To make these work together we can use several aliases.
An alias allows to create a custom command. For example to make /f1 send the hardtargetlock 1 you would use: /alias f1 hardtargetlock 1
Note that the hardtargetlock 1 did not have the / in it.
Putting it all together would be something like this:
--Create an alias for the target lock
/alias f1 hardtargetlock 1
--Create an alias for targetting someone
/alias fA target Gwenndy
/alias fB target Norrin
/alias fC target Shallabal
--Create an alias that combines the lock and target
/alias ftA "f1 $$ fA"
/alias ftB "f1 $$ fB"
/alias ftC "f1 $$ fC"
--Bind a key to target someone
/bind F ftA
So now the f key with target Gwenndy by Cleric companion.
At this point the character should be facing and locked onto the character.
You can then do a follow, assist, or whatever you feel the need to do.
Once done to unlock, if you need to, just do a /hardtargetlock 0
Sorry my not great authoring skills. I am developer not writer.
Hope that helps.
