Some spell visuals

[cmaranec]

Hello there,

i've been writing AIs for bosses and npcs for a long time, and there are some spells, which has broken visual, like Ball Lightning ( http://www.wowhead.com/spell=52780 ) - the ball should hit the target, but it flies somewhere far away, but deals damage correctly.

The same problem has spell Random Lightning ( http://www.wowhead.com/spell=52663 ) - the arcs of lightning should hit nerarby locations (3y), but they all hit the same point, which is very far from caster.

I think this started to happen after first 3.3.0 revision, because on our old 3.2.2a server was everything fine.

Is it due to wrong opcode structure? Or something like that?

Sorry for my bad English.

Some spell visuals should be fixed in http://github.com/mangos/mangos/commit/4be8c9dc9ac4c9277d47722d3f4c9862b70851c5. For example Onyxia's fireball, Telestra's Firebomb.

Oh, thank you, i'll test it (now we are on 9690)

because you are probably castin it wrong. Key is in ImplicitTarget. For example to make Ball of Lightning propperly work you need to use CastSpell(x,y,z,spell,triggered) valid target in this case is not unit.

I didn't know that, thanks.

And what about the Random Lightning, where target of spell is the caster himself and triggered spells have to select random point in 3y area around the caster?

Should be something with SelectRandomTarget , and get the coords of that target , dont know what how the functions are called
