MQ2Cast question, can this be done?

[Mischief]

Here's an example of what I want to do. Cast a targetable buff on a specified player (self / PC-Bot). I want to be able to set this up using either in game hotkeys or a programmable keyboard.

I have tried:

Casting #####|item -targetid|Bot

Along with a large number of other variations and can't get it to work without manually targetting. I don't want to manually target or imbed a /tar Bot in my EQ Hotkeys.

Is there a way to accomplish this ?

-targetid is an int
So "Bot" wouldn't work you need the player's targetid not sure if these are static.
I have never checked a player's targetid.
Try an /echo ${Target.ID} then put that number in the hotkey

If it's static then that will do it; if not then it might change after every zone or just every login.

Might be able to do a spawnsearch
/casting ####|item -targetid|${Spawn[${NearestSpawn[pc range 100 "Bot"]}.ID}}

Not sure if that will work though

id's change every time you zone.
but personally i'd take out the range check on it if its a hotkey.

/casting ####|item -targetid|${Spawn[Bot pc].ID}
