[Solved] Check point between two points

[akaiharuki]

Hi, I think this is a simple problem but I haven't found a solution yet:

How can I check if a point is in a line between two points?

My spell is when a spell is cast the spell will be amplified if it detects a specific point in the line between casting position and target position.

Not sure I fully understand but maybe something like this would work:

Line Segment Enumeration v2.2b (vJass, Lua, GUI)

Info Allows to enumerate widgets inside a line segment with an offset. So basicly it will result in a rect, but which is also allowed to be rotated. There is normal JASS, and also a GUI version. For GUI, you should open the demo map, to see the triggers. Code library LineSegmentEnumeration...

Can you try to explain it in more detail? This sentence doesn't make complete sense to me "My spell is when a spell is cast".

Ok, let's imagine we have the points A, B and C, to check that the point B is between the point A and C you need to check that the distance between A and B plus the distance between B and C is equal to the distance between A and C, but probably you don't wanna to much precision, so instead of checking if is equal, check if the diference is lesser than some value, like 100, so the formula would be:

// Check if the point B is almost between the points A and C

abs(dist(A, B) + dist(B, C) - dist(A, C)) <= 100

Ah, thank you so much I didn't come up with this at first. Since if the sum is not equal then it would form a triangle instead of a line

Thanks, I believe your link will work. My spell intends to make players aim for specific point when cast to increase damage instead of granting a buff.
