Feature request: Manual LoS/range check
Reported by Caderyn | November 19th, 2009 @ 11:19 AM
Hello! First, thanks for the great add-on! Without this add-on I probably wouldn't find WAR worth playing =D
I do have a feature request for Squared. I am wondering if it is possible to assign a key to quickly scan your warband/scenario/group to see who is out of range or out of LoS.
The thing is, when I first started playing WAR, right after release, I used Squared and I am almost 100% positive that such a feature existed. I remember assigning a key and I could hit it and it would do a quick scan. It caused a small amount of lag, but it was no big deal as long as I wasn't actively beating on somebody.
Is it possible to re-implement that feature? Or have various patches made it impossible?
Thanks!

You are correct that this feature used to exist. Unfortunately, the answer to your latter question is "yes" - the API has been changed over time such that this feature is no longer possible. (To be specific, the client-side targeting function TargetPlayer() was removed - while the /target chat command remains, it requires a round-trip to the server and back which introduces a delay on the targeting that makes scanning through many targets in sequence take far too long.)
