I was unable to find the older p99 patch notes for this being removed. It should be added back in as of the July 24 2001 patch.

/target playername will now work on invisible targets as long as the character doing the targeting has the ability to see invisible.

Is this still an issue?

From a quick test, it seemed to work as intended.

Still doesnt work

If you /Target or /RT you cannot target an Invis/Hidden player even though you have see invis

I think the issue is the Sneak portion of Hide / Sneak. I have been able to be targeted just hidden, but once Snuck I can no longer be targeted.

Okay thanks for the detail. I was testing invisibility and not hide.

I was able to replicate with a rogue, by only hiding, not even sneak.

Are there other cases like this?

assumed asking rogues if they had sneak on when /rt fails a buff request was just part of life at this point

Found and fixed the following cases:

Players with see invisible active can now acquire targets via /target playername for:
-Rogues in a hidden state
-Players using Sneak when positioned in the rear arc


If there are other cases, post it up with steps to replicate.

Found this in my archive of it helps figuring out behavior mechanics.

Before you stand up
If you have cast a DoT spell (like a darkness snare) on the monster, and you feign, and you stand up again before the DoT has worn off, the monster will remember you and come back, even if they have returned to their spawn point. Wait for the message saying these spells have worn off.
If you're not sure that you no longer have aggro, make sure you are out of aggro range from the group, stand up, and wait there to see if anything jumps you. Only return to your group when you are absolutely sure you won't be bringing friends.
If your race can Hide, then Hide. Take any items/buffs off that allow you to see the invisible. Now type "/target (yourname)" If the hide failed, you'll target yourself. However, if you successfully hid, you will get the message "I don't see anybody with that name around here". Once you've lost aggro, you can safely stand up from the feign, and sit down to meditate/heal, while remaining hidden.
To de-feign, just Ctrl-S or click your sit/stand button.
