All help will be appreciated.

That would involve a source edit, if you are new to eclipse i recommend reading a few tutorials on script edits first, and you will also need VB6 to edit source

Thanks for your quick reply,

I am trying to learn Visual Basics atm so this shall be a good challenge!

Also would you be able to point me to some good tutorials or one topic one questions applies?

There is no simple solution for this, it'd require quite some knowledge as it involves pathfinding and modifying some existing systems with timers and whatnot..

Basically what you'd need to do is look up the code where you select a target, and change it to also send a message to the server to check if it's an unfriendly/neutral NPC.. If it's one of those, it'll switch your character to combat mode, making it follow the target if it's not near your current location, and if it is in range you'll need to modify the attack timer to make it attack whenever the timer runs out, rather then when the timer runs out and you pressed attack.. Until the player's target gets ereased offcourse. :)

Sadly there are no tutorials for anything like this at the moment.. But I suggest you to google some VB6 tutorials, and after that start with some basic source edits, and read through some of the tutorials that currently exist on these forums, but before adding anything.. try reading the code and see if you understand most of it. :)

Thank you so so much for your help and support, I think for now until I grasp the idea of VB I will stick to the attack spell :D

I will update you all, and let you know how I am going.

Thanks again,

If I get around to it, I'll post some code for ya.  I sort of did something like this.  If you click on an NPC that's not friendly, your player will attack.  (Although he doesn't chase your target down, you still move after your npc manually, but as long as you're facing your target, your player will attack automatically)

It's a pretty easy edit
