How do you "target" emotes

How do you "target" emotes - Black and white of empty wooden bench near brick wall of building with inscription you are not alone

I have seen this done, but I have no idea how to do it, and Google is not helpful (probably searching wrong).

Sometimes, players use emotes like

PlayerX says hello to PlayerY

but whenever I use the "Hello" emote, it just prints

Me says hello

How can I "target" emotes?



Best Answer

In addition to Retrosaur's answer, if you hover your crosshair over another player (even when they don't show the emote icon) and execute an emote it will be directed towards them, similar to your example.

PlayerX says hello to PlayerY

You see your second example when an emote is executed with no player in your crosshair.

Me says hello
