some problems with AC Tool

[rirague]

Hi, Ive been trying out 'Thecandyman's TargetNPC VokeBot' and I saw some areas I thought could be made a little better, but Ive run into problems. I dont know whether they dont work and if thats why they wernt put in.
The bot targets enemies by using a /targetnpc macro, problem with this is that it only targets the closest mob. So I thought Id try changing this to tab or the 0 key on the numpad, but these dont seem to work in FF, they work when moving around windows but not at all in FF. I was wondering if SE had somehow blocked these commands coming from a third party software affecting the game, or whether I was just doing somethign wrong.

Well heres the current code:

While $TargetName <> $Mob
Keydown @1 10 <--alt 1 is the /targetnpc macro
End

and here is the code I tried:

While $TargetName <> $Mob
Keydown {TAB} 10 <--also tried {Num 0}
End

can anyone tell me if Im doing something wrong, or whether it cant be done.
Thanks ^^

ok I read up on otehr forums and found keyascii. looked up in help and showed tab as 9, so I changed my code thusly

original:
While $TargetName <> $Mob
Keydown @1 10
End

new:
While $TargetName <> $Mob
Keydown keyascii 9 10
End

I found that didne work so I tried

While $TargetName <> $Mob
Keydown keyascii 9
End

ok this tabs a mob, but it then skips out the rest of the tabbing and starts attacking the first mob it sees

here is the bulk of the original code:
Constants (* Set Up: *)
(* The exact name of the mob you want to kill: *)
Mob = anymobname
(* Do not change the line below. *)
Temp = {null}
End
delay 3000
Call Init

Procedure Init
Call LoadFFACT
Call TargetAndClaim
Call Kill
End

Procedure TargetAndClaim (* Targets and claims the wanted mob. *)
SetActiveWindow FFXiApp
While $TargetName <> $Mob <------------the code Im trying to change
Keydown @1 10
End
Keydown @2 10
While $TargetStatus <> 1
Keydown @2 10
End
End

Procedure Kill (* Kills the targetted mob. If you didn't claim it, it will start running forward *)
SetActiveWindow FFXiApp
If $TargetDistance >= 10 (* If the target is far away, locks on, gets closer, then attacks *)
Keydown @4 100
keydown wr 100
While $TargetDistance >= 5
Delay 100
End
keydown r 100
End
Keydown @a 100
While $TargetStatus = 1
While $TargetDistance >= 3 (* if the target is too far away, moves closer *)
Keydown w 1000
End
While $PlayerTP >= 100 (* If you have more than 100% TP, uses a weaponskill *)
Keydown @3 10
delay 50
End
keydown s 100 (* These two lines make sure you are facing the target *)
keydown w 100
Delay 100
End
End

Im not really sure why this happens at all..but any help would be much appreciated ^^

haazah! I did it by more researching XD

I ended up with the final code:

While $TargetName <> $Mob
keyascii 9
delay 10
End

well thanks for the great forum, couldnt have done it w/o the useful links on other threads ^^
