Could you rewrite that, because I didn't quite get what the question was.

Set at map init:

• Set r1 = (Max X of (Playable map area))
• Set r2 = (Min X of (Playable map area))
• Set r3 = (Max Y of (Playable map area))
• Set r4 = (Min Y of (Playable map area))

When casting:
x = TargetedX
y = TargetedY

if x < r1 and x > r2 and y < r3 and y > r4 then
ok
else
abort
endif

thats not a bad idea for coding it simple, but was hoping the spell was customizable enough to be able to mimic how the blink spell works.

Reason is there is black areas on the map that are not just map boundaries so it would still be able to cast in those black areas. unless i set up a ton more dimensions. I can think of a easy way to code it, but is the channel spell just not have that option for it somewhere? I thought it was suppose to be the most customizable spell lol

just get an IsPointWalkable system than use that to check if you can walk there. (this will also apply for cliffs, doodads, etc)

Base the spell on Kelens Dagger of Escape and just order a unit to stop when he casts the spell.

Nevermind, I think that ability allows you to click on unpathable areas.

You can base the spell on Blink and order the unit to stop when casts it.
Then, utilize the data like Target point of ability being cast, etc..

Maybe you can use

• Custom script: if IsLocationVisibleToPlayer(location, player) then
• *do things here*
• Custom script: else
• *abort*
• Custom script: endif

• Custom script: else
• *abort*
• Custom script: endif

that will only check if the point is visible. you can see boundary
