Detect Spell Location (Water)

[Tyrulan]

I've written a fishing spell - at this point I'm using regions to dictate "castable" areas of water. Is there an easier way on doing this?

 

[13lade619]

yeah.

native IsTerrainPathable            takes real x, real y, pathingtype t returns boolean

// i.e.
if IsTerrainPathable(YourX,YourY,PATHING_TYPE_FLOATABILITY) then
    //
endif

Hm... wouldn't that allow unwalkable tiles (such as rocks for mountains) castable in this case?

EDIT: Oh didn't see the specifics on pathing type. My bad.

 

[13lade619]

i'm pretty sure deep/shallow water are the only floatable paths.

Double checked - the pathing type is PATHING_TYPE_FLOATABILITY. On route to testing this.

This works, thanks Blade!

    //Returns false if the target location is water.
    if (IsTerrainPathable(GetLocationX(GetSpellTargetLoc()), GetLocationY(GetSpellTargetLoc()), PATHING_TYPE_FLOATABILITY ) == false) then        
        return true
    else      
        return false    
    endif
