How to get spell target x/y ?

[Saldu]

Hi

For units, I can use GetUnitY() and GetUnitX(), however, for spells I am only able to find GetSpellTargetLoc(), on which I could then use GetLocationX(), and GetLocationY(), but I wonder if there might be an easier way which I overlooked.

Greetings

You can't. That's always been one of the biggest annoyances for a lot of people. You have to do it the way you described.

EDIT: Actually, I forgot that the upcoming patch (1.24) will have GetSpellTargetX and GetSpellTargetY. If you don't want to wait, you can connect to the Westfall server.

Make a function of it perhaps?

Dono if that's what you're looking for, but it'd be the current simplies way I think.

function X takes loc returns real
return GetLocationX(loc)
endfunction

function Y takes loc returns real
return GetLocationY(loc)
endfunction

GetLocationX(GetSpellTargetLoc)
GetLocationY(GetSpellTargetLoc)

?

GetLocationX(GetSpellTargetLoc())
GetLocationY(GetSpellTargetLoc())

o.o that sounds about right

Reread the first post after I posted and edited mine. Were too lazy to read it fully the first time
