Details

If the user isn't nearby or doesn't exist, TargetByName seems to pick the closest match from characters nearby. --Nightspark 20:29, 7 Jan 2005 (EST)

If there is no close match available then an error message is displayed (Error event?) and the target is left unchanged. There is no return value from this method so the only way to check for success is see what the target ended up as afterwards. -- Flickering 20:37, 7 Jan 2005 (EST)
