Murder/Kill

[Krakknot]

Is there a difference between Murder and Kill commands?
i.e. Murder goblin or kill goblin

does one do something different than the other? Is it alignment dependent or what?

[Stiehl26]

The murder command should be reserved for initiating melee combat upon a player character. The kill command should be used for slaying creatures (mobs) which will initiate melee attacks upon them.

[Krakknot]

but will kill work on players and mobs? and visa versa for murder? does using one or the other actually influence the fight or is it just the proper way of doing things?

Krakknot, you can NOT "kill" another human player. You have to murder them. You can also murder mobs, but it is alot slower because you have to type "murder" not just "k" The only reason to ever murder a mob instead of kill is if you're a ranger or warrior because then when you murder someone you throw a javelin and get your round of attacks the same as kill. So essentially it's an extra attack. Other then that there is no difference between murder and kill ON MOBS.

[Krakknot]

ok, so "murder" player characters, or lead in with an attack spell or skill.

[Mandor]

I use "A (target)" seems to work for mobs or players.

use the alias system that's been build into AR.

so..

alias kk murder $$

then you can use

target <name>

to dynamically set the $$ variables.

Thanks Clifton, I just tried it on some mobs and it's beautiful. Now to try it on a player. Thera beware

There is a reason for separate murder and kill commands.. its so that you don't attack somebody accidentally.. if you go around spamming "k 2." for instance that will hit your groupmates. Clifton can tell you how annoying that is for his groupmate.
