Can't work binds

Now I'm not a total noob, I do other MMOs and have done several binds before. I've looked over the various bind threads and tried following them, but to no avail. I'm starting simple [no comment] with two targeting binds, One for the nearest enemy and one for nearest friend. I started doing nearest enemy first, since its a favorite and highly useful. After many re-reads, I type this :

/bind g clienttarget_nearest 0

Since I saw some discrepancies in caps [ClientTarget, clientTarget, G, g, Nearest... well you get the picture] tried to alter those too but to no avail... again. I even tried using "quotes", still nothing.

I tried to check the txt.file in the Life folder, but I could not find it.

Where have I gone astray?:confused:

    Try this:

    /bind g target_enemy_near

    Capitalization and underscores don't matter, this would be the same as:

    /bind g TargetEnemyNear
    /bind g targetenemy_near

    etc

    Don't you have to put those commands in quotes? When I do mine, I use:

    /bind f "targetenemynear"

    It never hurts to add quotes, but it's only necessary when chaining multiple commands together, or when it would otherwise be ambiguous. So

    /bind f "targetenemynear"

    and

    /bind f targetenemynear

    do the same thing, but if you wanted to target the enemy and then fire an attack, you would have to use quotes:

    /bind f "targetenemynear $$ +powertrayexec 1"

    will work, but this won't:

    /bind f targetenemynear $$ +powertrayexec 1

    Ah, gotcha! I almost never use only 1 command in my binds, so it's sorta habitual for me to use quotes...
