'''AIM''' can be used to target the area of a body when [[AMBUSH]]ing or firing a ranged weapon. Whereas AIM (location) is the proper syntax. Possible locations include: head, neck, right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg, right hand, left hand, chest, abdomen, back, right eye, left eye. Typing AIM CLEAR will clear your default aiming preference. AIM RANDOM will also clear it. One may also type AIM LIST to get a list of possible locations in-game. |
