Issue Order on a Cliff

[junicobakura]

Apparently , when you try to make a Dummy(Caster) to cast a Point Spell on a Cliff , or at least within a small range of a cliff , it wouldn't cast the spell at all.

is there anyway to fix this?

Can you be more specific on which ability you are trying to cast? It might have something to do with line of sight or the dummy unit's sight radius.

 

[Juggernaut]

can the dummy reach the point? maybe the cast range is low and the dummy can't reach it.

 

[junicobakura]

It's a Stampede based ability

Cast Range is 9999.

and by Point on the Cliff , i meant somewhere at the Edge of the Cliff

I ran into this same problem a long time ago.

My solution was to create the flying dummy unit at my position and a ground dummy unit at the target point.

The game automatically positions the ground dummy unit to a walkable path.

Then i set the position of the ground dummy unit as the new casting point for the flying dummy unit.

This way the flying dummy unit can cast at a walkable point of the field.

I also have another solution where i create a flying dummy unit behind the hero. The flying dummy unit will cast its spell on the position of the casting hero. This also works.

The problem usually arises with the spells Shockwave, Carrion Swarm, and Stampede
