If the player is in a vehicle and a lockable weapon is selected and a target is locked, the locked target will be returned, regardless if it's in sight or not.

Addition to Myke's note: It also works for infantry with launchers that canLock, like Javelin or AA. Only the lock cursor must be visible on the target - not a full lock necessarily.

• Player must knows about what he is pointing to for this command to return something other than <NULL-OBJECT>
• This command doesn't work through building windows
• This recognition doesn't work with every object : soldiers, vehicles, big houses are ok, but not trees, plants, road signs or others little things

To add to Lou Montana's note, use reveal command on the object you want to be detected with cursorTarget when pointing at it. Without it, distant units are most likely to return objNull even if you shoot and hit them.
