Details

It's probably worth testing what happens if the name isn't close by, or doesn't exist, or is an enemy or NPC, etc. -- Flickering 14:06, 28 Dec 2004 (EST)

If the user isn't nearby or doesn't exist, TargetByName seems to pick the closest match from characters nearby. It is unknown if TargetByName returns any value if succesful or not. --Nightspark 20:29, 7 Jan 2005 (EST)
