Best way to aim?

[redwolf340]

I'm trying to shoot stuff(bats in this case) that are in the entrance to my cave, i aim by clicking the bat whit the arrow, then once full green release to see the arrow fly almost 90 degree from the bat , after some testing (whit a mufflon also) i realized that clicking the bat or mufflon was not good, because after zooming and rotating the cam (while aiming) i saw that my char was not even pointing at what i clicked and was at the "almost" 90 degree mark (costed me a freaking quiver of arrow to finally spot that) so the thing is, (for the shot to be accurate clicking on the animal) you have to be zoomed in at max and at the right screen angle, which i think defeat the point of using a bow because you want to be able to kill they from a distance and not have them zoomed at max to see if you at the right angle, me friend also did the same testing and have the same problem, is there a better way? or do i have to play cam placement every time to see if my char is aiming in the right direction?

you need to click on the z=0 coordinate of what you want to aim at.. that means you should put on ctrl+b to see the bounding box for the bat, and then click the middle of the box.

The hearthling aims with bows/slings/catapult at the tile position you click at, so if you go into some sort of first person mode perspective and aim at the bat you're actually not clicking on any tile and you wont hit anything.
