# TLO:Target

## Description

Object used to get information about your current target.

## Access to Types

* \_\_[*target* ](/macroquest/data-types-and-top-level-objects/data-types/datatype-target.md)**target**
* [*spawn*](/macroquest/data-types-and-top-level-objects/data-types/datatype-spawn.md) **spawn**

## Examples

* To display the target's unique name as sent by EQ use ${Target} or ${Target.Name}

`/echo ${Target} or /echo ${Target.Name}`

*This will return "a\_commander01" on a living mob or "a\_commander's\_corpse0" on a dead mob.*

* To display the target's clean name (also similar to %t on living mobs) use ${Target.CleanName} or

  ${Target.DisplayName}

`/echo ${Target.CleanName} or /echo ${Target.DisplayName}`

*This will return "a commander" on a living mob or "a commander's corpse" on a dead mob.*

* To display the name as used by '%t' on a corpse use the ${Target.DisplayName}

`/echo ${Target.DisplayName}`

*This will return "a commander" when the corpse is targetted.*

* To display the spell ID of the snare debuff use ${Target.Snared.ID}

`/echo ${Target.Snared.ID}`

* Example of using new Slowed target datatype

`/echo ${Target.Slowed.Name} will fade in ${Target.Slowed.Duration.TotalSeconds}s`

returns "\[MQ2] Tepid Deeds will fade in 114s"

* Example of using new Mezzed target datatype

`/echo ${Target} will break mezz in ${Target.Mezzed.Duration.TotalSeconds}s`

returns "\[MQ2] a\_pyre\_beetle48 will break mezz in 66s"
