Command: Aim
General-Use Command Usage: aim <item> [<direction> | through <portal>] [at <target>][!]
Aim a weapon at a target. The target can either be in the same room as you, in which case you simply 'aim <item> at <target>', or in an adjacent room, in which case you would 'aim <item> <direction> at <target>'. This is most useful for ranged combat, where is both designates a target, so it need not be specified with each command, and improves performance. Aiming can also be used in close combat, where it represents taking additional time to carefully aim your next attack with the weapon specified; as soon as a weapon is used to attack in close combat, it is no longer considered aimed. You can only aim one weapon at one target at a time; if you specify a new target, you are no longer aiming at your previous one. If you are in combat, you can use 'aim <item>' to aim at your current opponent. If you are using aim in conjunction with launching, aim your launcher rather than your ammunition; if you aim the ammunition, this will only help you if you throw it. Your aim will be broken if your target moves out of your immediate vicinity -- the room you are in and those adjacent to it.
Normally, this command is only used to aim items intended as weapons; however, if you give the command as an override (by putting a ! on the end), nearly any item can be aimed.
This command is not related to the combat aim setting, which influences where your attacks will hit your target.
Examples: aim bow at orc
aim crossbow north at goblin
aim sword at guard
aim sword
aim helmet at dragon!
