i don't know if there're more then 1 ability (blink) with minimum range... what you can do is check in trigger if the range is too small or not...

also target point... the best of all

carrion swarm :thup:

also target point... the best of all
i mean base abilities with both of the above(ie, min casting range & target point)
and i would prefer to have that min casting error like blink.. so checking range on begin cast is..

SimError

that mouse thingy error

error not error sound

that mouse thingy error

????????

[ljass]function SimError takes player ForPlayer, string msg returns nothing[/ljass]

>>

[ljass]call SimError (Player(0), "This spell requires a minimum cast range")[/ljass]

EDIT: what mouse error?

 

[hgkjfhfdsj]

on what event do you suggest this simerror to be in?

 

[BlackRose]

Event - Units begins casting
Conditions - Distance between target point and caster <= MININUM_RANGE
Actions - SimError( owner, "NOOB, TARGET FURHTER OR ELSE YOU BLOW YOURSELF UP!" )
- order stop.

 

[Laiev]

start effect

just add a if before everything and check the distance between position of caster and target point... it less you custom script that call (remember, in jass, Player(0) == Player Red) but you can use [ljass]GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())[/ljass], with this you'll display the error for the owner player of the casting unit...

in the else you execute the trigger


ahh... don't forget to order unit to stop, or cooldown and mana cost will count

or you can do what BlackRose said better and more fast then what i explain

OT: BlackRose just disappear of the helper

this method (which i asked to confirm xD)>>>
the mouse event thing
- where if you click within min range, it doesnt register as a click, and you still have that target cursor

so if event is begin casting, click has already been registered..
not sure if im clear or not lol

 

[Laiev]

well.. thhere're actually a way to order unit to click on the button, i just don't know how

i'm a bit curious about this too...

you could force the user to press the hotkey for the spell again

Game - Force Player 1 (Red) to press the key A

 

[hgkjfhfdsj]

yep, tried that, just seeing if there was actually base ability other than blink

ohh... hmm

never notice that


OT: I just receive 2 beta key, 1 i give to a good friend of warcraft but other still in my email, but betaphase will end at 31/5

Nooo! Mana will be wasted then.

 

[Laiev]

if you order to stop, no ;x

<check bloodspellpack of Glenphir>

 

[hgkjfhfdsj]

BUMP

suggested answers posted
- force ui key
- simerror + begin cast

in need of mouse error similar to blink (ie where min range casting are not registered as 'clicks' -no order given

 

[polo2005]

simerror that laiev suggested and order unit to stop with event issues an order and then force the key press to get the spell rdy to click again?

equals simerror + issues order + force button

 

[hgkjfhfdsj]

i will resort to that if blink being the only spell with min cast range is confirmed
